Discrete symmetrical perturbation and variational algorithm of disturbed Lagrangian systems

We investigate the perturbation to discrete conformal invariance and the adiabatic invariants of Lagrangian systems. A variational algorithm is proposed for a system subjected to the perturbation quantities. The discrete determining equations of the perturbations to conformal invariance are established. For perturbed Lagrangian systems, the condition of the existence of adiabatic invariant is derived from the discrete perturbation to conformal invariance. The numerical simulations demonstrate that the variational algorithm has the higher precision and the longer time stability than the standard numerical method.

Interactions of nonlinear gravity waves and uniform current in Lagrangian system

The particle trajectory on a weakly nonlinear progressive surface wave obliquely interacting with a uniform current is studied by using an Euler-Lagrange transformation.The third-order asymptotic solution is a periodic bounded function of Lagrangian labels and time,which imply that the entire solution is uniformly-valid.The explicit parametric solution highlights the trajectory of a water particle and mass transport associated with a particle displacement can now be obtained directly in Lagrangian form.The angular frequency and Lagrangian mean level of the particle motion in Lagrangian form differ from those of the Eulerian.The variations in the water particle orbits resulting from the oblique interaction with a steady uniform current of different magnitudes are also investigated.

Lagrangian coherent structure analysis on transport of Acetes chinensis along coast of Lianyungang,China

Spatial heterogeneity or“patchiness”of plankton distributions in the ocean has always been an attractive and challenging scientific issue to oceanographers.We focused on the accumulation and dynamic mechanism of the Acetes chinensis in the Lianyungang nearshore licensed fishing area.The Lagrangian frame approaches including the Lagrangian coherent structures theory,Lagrangian residual current,and Lagrangian particle-tracking model were applied to find the transport pathways and aggregation characteristics of Acetes chinensis.There exist some material transport pathways for Acetes chinensis passing through the licensed fishing area,and Acetes chinensis is easy to accumulate in the licensed fishing area.The main mechanism forming this distribution pattern is the local circulation induced by the nonlinear interaction of topography and tidal flow.Both the Lagrangian coherent structure analysis and the particle trajectory tracking indicate that Acetes chinensis in the licensed fishing area come from the nearshore estuary.This work contributed to the adjustment of licensed fishing area and the efficient utilization of fishery resources.

An Updated Lagrangian Particle Hydrodynamics (ULPH)-NOSBPD Coupling Approach forModeling Fluid-Structure Interaction Problem

A fluid-structure interaction approach is proposed in this paper based onNon-Ordinary State-Based Peridynamics(NOSB-PD)and Updated Lagrangian Particle Hydrodynamics(ULPH)to simulate the fluid-structure interaction problem with large geometric deformation and material failure and solve the fluid-structure interaction problem of Newtonian fluid.In the coupled framework,the NOSB-PD theory describes the deformation and fracture of the solid material structure.ULPH is applied to describe the flow of Newtonian fluids due to its advantages in computational accuracy.The framework utilizes the advantages of NOSB-PD theory for solving discontinuous problems and ULPH theory for solving fluid problems,with good computational stability and robustness.A fluidstructure coupling algorithm using pressure as the transmission medium is established to deal with the fluidstructure interface.The dynamic model of solid structure and the PD-ULPH fluid-structure interaction model involving large deformation are verified by numerical simulations.The results agree with the analytical solution,the available experimental data,and other numerical results.Thus,the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method in solving the fluid-structure interaction problem are demonstrated.The fluid-structure interactionmodel based on ULPH and NOSB-PD established in this paper provides a new idea for the numerical solution of fluidstructure interaction and a promising approach for engineering design and experimental prediction.

Natural convection is a heat transfer mechanism driven by temperature or density differences,leading to fluid motion without external influence.It occurs in various natural and engineering phenomena,influencing heat transfer,climate,and fluid mixing in industrial processes.This work aims to use the Updated Lagrangian Particle Hydrodynamics(ULPH)theory to address natural convection problems.The Navier-Stokes equation is discretized using second-order nonlocal differential operators,allowing a direct solution of the Laplace operator for temperature in the energy equation.Various numerical simulations,including cases such as natural convection in square cavities and two concentric cylinders,were conducted to validate the reliability of the model.The results demonstrate that the proposed model exhibits excellent accuracy and performance,providing a promising and effective numerical approach for natural convection problems.

Active disturbance rejection control of nonlinear SISO Lagrangian systems via endogenous injections and exogenous feedback for trajectory tracking

This article deals with a linear classical approach for the robust output reference trajectory tracking control of nonlinear SISO Lagrangian systems with a controllable(fAat)tangent linearization around an operating equilibrium point.An endogenous injections and exogenous feedback(EIEF)approach is proposed,which is naturally equivalent to the generalized propor-tional integral control method and to a robust classical compensation network.It is shown that the EIEF controller is also equivalent,within a frequency domain setting demanding respect for the separation principle,to the reduced order observer based active disturbance rejection control approach.The proposed linear control approach is robust with respect to total dis-turbances and,thus,it is ffective for the linear control of the nonlinear Lagrangian system.An ilustrative nonlinear rotary crane Lagrangian system example,which is non-feedback linearizable,is presented along with digital computer simulations.

Tracking Synchronization of Networked Lagrangian Systems via Impulsive Control and Its Applications

An impulsive control scheme is proposed to investigate the tracking synchronization of ring and inline networked Lagrangian systems.Given a time-varying target trajectory,some algebraic synchronization criteria are derived to make the networked Lagrangian systems synchronize to the target trajectory.A distinctive feature of the proposed work is that the impulsive control scheme is used to investigate the highly nonlinear Lagrangian systems.By the impulsive control,each agent described by the Lagrangian system instantaneously interacts with its neighbors only at some discrete moments.Furthermore,the proposed control strategy requires only local coupling feedback for global convergence.As a direct application of the obtained theoretical results,the tracking synchronization of multiple 3-DOF mobile robots is discussed in detail and simulated.Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Noether symmetry and conserved quantity for dynamical system with non-standard Lagrangians on time scales

This paper focuses on studying the Noether symmetry and the conserved quantity with non-standard Lagrangians, namely exponential Lagrangians and power-law Lagrangians on time scales. Firstly, for each case, the Hamilton prin- ciple based on the action with non-standard Lagrangians on time scales is established, with which the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equation is given. Secondly, according to the invariance of the Hamilton action under the infinitesimal transformation, the Noether theorem for the dynamical system with non-standard Lagrangians on time scales is established. The proof of the theorem consists of two steps. First, it is proved under the infinitesimal transformations of a special one-parameter group without transforming time. Second, utilizing the technique of time-re-parameterization, the Noether theorem in a general form is obtained. The Noether-type conserved quantities with non-standard Lagrangians in both clas- sical and discrete cases are given. Finally, an example in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime and an example about second order Duffing equation are given to illustrate the application of the results.

Nonlinear control of multiple spacecraft formation flying using the constraint forces in Lagrangian systems

Getting inspiration from the constraint forces in the classical mechanics, we presented the nonlinear control method of multiple spacecraft formation flying to accurately keep the desired formation arrays. Considering nonlinearity and perturbation, we changed the question of the formation array control to the Lagrange equations with the holonomic constraints and the differential algebraic equations (DAE), and developed the nonlinear control for design of the follower spacecraft tracking control laws by solving the DAE. Because of using the idea of the constraint forces, this approach can adequately utilize the characteristic of the dynamic equations, i.e., the space natural forces, and accurately keep the arbitrary formation array. Simulation results of the circular formation keeping with the linear and nonlinear dynamical equations were included to illuminate the control performance.

ON THE LAGRANGIAN RESIDUAL CURRENT AND RESIDUAL TRANSPORT IN A MULTIPLE TIME SCALE SYSTEM OF SHALLOW SEAS

A multiple time scale perturbation method is used to discuss the Lagrangian residual current and residual transport on the basis of a weakly nonlinear dynamic model of shallow seas. The governing equations for the long-term variation of zero order " apparent concentration " (which is a linear combination of salinity , temperature of seawater and the concentration of any tracer which is conservative and passive ) and its mean value over tidal cycles are obtained for the system with single tidal constituent . and for the one with multi-constituents, winds and thermohaline. The equations for the two cases are in the same form and show this long-term variation resulted from the cumulative effect of residual convection and turbulent diffusion .The multiple time scale variation of current is caused by tides, winds, and the thermohaline and the nonlinear effects of the system. The derived set of governing field equations of the Lagrangian current for this multiple time scale system is also in the same form
