For this purpose, a cell-centered discretization technique is employed. In this technique, the flow parameters at the cell faces are computed using a third-order weighted averages procedure. A fourth-order artificial dissipation is used for stability of the solution. In order to achieve the steady-state situation, four-step Runge-Kutta explicit time integration method is applied. An advanced progressive preconditioning method, named the power-law preconditioning method, is used for faster convergence. In this method, the preconditioning matrix is adjusted automatically from the velocity and/or pressure flow-field by a power-law relation. Attention is directed towards accuracy and convergence of the schemes. The results presented in the paper focus on steady inviscid and laminar flows around sheet-cavitating and fully-wetted bodies including hydrofoils and circular/elliptical cylinder. Excellent agreements are obtained when numerical predictions are compared with other available experimental and numerical results. In addition, it is found that using the power-law preconditioner significantly increases the numerical convergence speed.展开更多

AIAR uses random walk mechanism to disperse the caching information of resources in the network based on its power-law characteristic, and dynamically adjusts replicas according to the visit frequency on resources and the degree information of peers. Subsequent experimental results show that the proposed AIAR scheme is beneficial to improve the search performance of success rate and respond speed. In addition, compared to some existing caching scheme, AIAR can perform much better in success rate, especially in a dynamic environment.展开更多

In the second part an unsteady thermal flow of upper-convected Maxwell fluid is studied. For the flow into mould cavity the constitutive equation of power-law fluid is used as a Theological model of polymer fluid. The apparent viscosity is considered as a function of shear rate and temperature. A characteristic viscosity is introduced in order to avoid the nonlinearity due to the temperature dependence of the apparent viscosity. As the viscosity of the fluid is relatively high the flow of the thermal fluid can be considered as a flow of fully developed velocity field. However, the temperature field of the fluid flow is considered as an unsteady one. The governing equations are constitutive equation, momentum equation of steady flow and energy conservation equation of non-steady form. The present system of equations has been solved numerically by the splitting difference method. The numerical results show that the splitting difference method is suitable for the 2D problem of non-Newtonian fluid. The present application of the splitting diffference method is at first developed by us for non-Newtonian case. For the unsteady flow in the tube the finite difference scheme is given which leads to a tridiagonal system of equations.展开更多
