Numerical analysis for viscoelastic fluid flow with distributed/variable order time fractional Maxwell constitutive models

Fractional calculus has been widely used to study the flow of viscoelastic fluids recently,and fractional differential equations have attracted a lot of attention.However,the research has shown that the fractional equation with constant order operators has certain limitations in characterizing some physical phenomena.In this paper,the viscoelastic fluid flow of generalized Maxwell fluids in an infinite straight pipe driven by a periodic pressure gradient is investigated systematically.Consider the complexity of the material structure and multi-scale effects in the viscoelastic fluid flow.The modified time fractional Maxwell models and the corresponding governing equations with distributed/variable order time fractional derivatives are proposed.Based on the L1-approximation formula of Caputo fractional derivatives,the implicit finite difference schemes for the distributed/variable order time fractional governing equations are presented,and the numerical solutions are derived.In order to test the correctness and availability of numerical schemes,two numerical examples are established to give the exact solutions.The comparisons between the numerical solutions and the exact solutions have been made,and their high consistency indicates that the present numerical methods are effective.Then,this paper analyzes the velocity distributions of the distributed/variable order fractional Maxwell governing equations under specific conditions,and discusses the effects of the weight coefficient(α)in distributed order time fractional derivatives,the orderα(r,t)in variable fractional order derivatives,the relaxation timeλ,and the frequencyωof the periodic pressure gradient on the fluid flow velocity.Finally,the flow rates of the distributed/variable order fractional Maxwell governing equations are also studied.

Mechanical response and simulation for constitutive equations with distributed order derivatives

Mechanical response and simulation for constitutive equation with distributed order derivatives were considered.We investigated the creep compliance,creep recovery,relaxation modulus,stress–strain behavior under harmonic deformation for each case of two constitutive equations.We express these responses and results as easily computable forms and simulate them by using MATHEMATICA 8.The results involve the exponential integral function,convergent improper integrals on the infinite interval(0,+∞)and the numerical integral method for the convolution integral.For both equations,stress responses to harmonic deformation display hysteresis phenomena and energy dissipation.The two constitutive equations characterize viscoelastic models of fluid-like and solid-like,respectively.

Stability Analysis of Nonlinear Measure Large Scale Systems

In this paper, we established the variation of parameters formula of nonlinear large scale systems containing measures. By means of the lumped Picard iteration method, which avoided the difficulties of constructing Lyapunov function, we studied the stability, uniform stability, asymptotic stability, uniform asymptotic stability, and exponential stability properties of nonlinear measure large scale systems.

Memory dependent anomalous diffusion in comb structure under distributed order time fractional dual-phase-lag model

This paper considers a novel distributed order time fractional dual-phase-lag model to analyze the anomalous diffusion in a comb structure,which has a widespread application in medicine and biology.The newly proposed constitution model is a generalization of the dual-phase-lag model,in which a spectrum of the time fractional derivatives with the memory characteristic governed by the weight coefficient is considered and the formulated governing equation contains both the diffusion and wave characteristics.With the L1-formula to discrete the time Caputo fractional derivatives,the finite difference method is used to discretize the model and the related numerical results are plotted graphically.By adding a source term,an exact solution is defined to verify the correctness of the numerical scheme and the convergence order of the error in spatial direction is presented.Finally,the dynamic characteristics of the particle distributions and the effects of involved parameters on the total number of particles in the x-direction are analyzed in detail.

This paper is devoted to the investigation of Lyapunov's second method for the stability of measure differential large scale systems containing impulses. The vector comparison principle of the stability of measure differential large scale systems is first established. An application of the vector comparison theorem is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our result.

Global Exponential Stability of Variable Delay and Time－varying Measure Differential Systems with Impulse Effect

This work concerns the stability properties of impulsive solution for a class of variable delay and time-varying measure differential systems. By means of the techniques of constructing broken line function to overcome the difficulties in employing comparison principle and Lyapunov function with discontinuous derivative, some criteria of global exponential asymptotic stability for the system are established. An example is given to illustrate the applicability of results obtained.
