The model is based on time-dependent Ginzburg- Landau （TDGL） equation with the reticular free energy. An unconditionally energy stable difference scheme is proposed based on the convex splitting of the corresponding energy functional. In the numerical experiments, we observe that simulating the whole process of the phase separation requires a considerably long time. We also notice that the total free energy changes significantly in initial stage and varies slightly in the following time. Based on these properties, we apply the adaptive time stepping strategy to improve the computational efficiency. It is found that the application of time step adaptivity can not only resolve the dynamical changes of the solution accurately but also significantly save CPU time for the long time simulation.展开更多

Through the control theory, the stability conditions are obtained,and by using nonlinear analysis, the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau（TDGL） equation and the modified Korteweg-de Vries（mKdV） equation are derived. Furthermore, the connection between TDGL and mKdV equations is also given. The numerical simulation is consistent with the theoretical analysis. The evolution of a traffic jam and the corresponding energy consumption are explored. The numerical results show that the control scheme is effective not only to suppress the traffic jam but also to reduce the energy consumption.展开更多

Based on the two-velocity difference model, the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau （TDGL） equation under certain condition is derived to describe the traffic flow near the critical point through the nonlinear analytical method. The corresponding two solutions, the uniform and the kink solutions, are given. The coexisting curve, spinodal line and critical point are obtained by the first and second derivatives of the thermodynamic potential. The modified Korteweg- de Vries （mKdV） equation around the critical point is derived by using the reductive perturbation method and its kink antikink solution is also obtained. The relation between the TDGL equation and the mKdV equation is shown. The simulation result is consistent with the nonlinear analytical result.展开更多

The model is analyzed by using the linear stability theory and nonlinear analysis method. The linear stability condition shows that the speed limit can enlarge the stable region of traffic flow. By applying the reductive perturbation method, the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation and the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation are derived to describe the traffic flow near the critical point. Furthermore, the relation between TDGL and mKdV equations is also given. It is clarified that the speed limit is essentially equivalent to the parameter adjusting of the driver’s sensitivity.展开更多

For the stochastic case, by adopting the same splitting of the energy functional, we construct a similar and uniquely solvable difference scheme with the discretized stochastic term. The resulted schemes are nonlinear and solved by Newton iteration. For the long time simulation, an adaptive time stepping strategy is developed based on both first- and second-order derivatives of the energy. Numerical experiments are carried out to verify the energy stability, the efficiency of the adaptive time stepping and the effect of the stochastic term.展开更多

A time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau sto-chastic differential equation, including an oscillating modu-lation and the correlated multiplicative and additive white noises, was addressed and the numerical solution to the rele-vant Fokker-Planck equation was presented on the basis of an average-period approach of driven field. The correlated white noises and the deterministic modulation induce a kind of dynamic symmetry-breaking order, analogous to the sto-chastic resonance in trend, in the kinetic ISS, and the reen-trant transition has been observed between the dynamic disorder and order phases when the intensities of multiplicative and additive noises were changing. The dependencies of a dynamic order parameter Q upon the intensities of additive noise A and multiplicative noise M, the correlation λ between two noises, and the amplitude of applied external field h were investigated quantitatively and visualized vividly. Here a brief discussion is given to outline the underlying mechanism of the NDPT in a kinetic ISS driven by an external force and correlated noises.展开更多
