A Modified Quasi-Static Method for CALM System Analysis

The quasi-static analysis method introduced by API RP 2P is well known and accepted as a very useful mooring analysis method. In the early design stage, this method is widely used for preliminary analysis and mooring parameter selection. However, the quasi-static method of API RP 2P is developed for single-floating-body condition, i. e., only one floating body is considered in the computation procedure. Difficulties arise when it is used for the analysis of a CALM system, which is comprised of two floating bodies (tanker and buoy). This paper presents an analysis procedure for a two-floating-body system based on the quasi-static procedure of API RP 2P with some modifications reflecting special characteristics of the CALM system. Finally, the analysis results of a CALM system are given to illustrate the use of this procedure.

FEM and EFG Quasi-Static Explicit Buckling Analysis for Thin-Walled Members

The quasi-static explicit finite element method (FEM) and element free Galerkin (EFG) method are applied to trace the post-buckling equilibrium path of thin-walled members in this paper. The factors that primarily control the explicit buckling solutions, such as the computation time, loading function and dynamic relaxation, are investigated and suggested for the buckling analysis of thin-walled members. Three examples of different buckling modes, namely snap-through, overall and local buckling, are studied based on the implicit FEM, quasi-static explicit FEM and EFG method via the commercial software LS-DYNA. The convergence rate and accuracy of the explicit methods are compared with the conventional implicit arc-length method. It is drawn that EFG quasi-static explicit buckling analysis presents the same accurate results as implicit finite element solution, but is without convergence problem and of less-consumption of computing time than FEM.

An explicit finite element method for dynamic analysis in three-medium coupling system and its application

In this paper, an explicit finite element method to analyze the dynamic responses of three-medium coupled systems with any terrain is developed on the basis of the numerical simulation of the continuous conditions on the bounda-ries among fluid saturated porous medium, elastic single-phase medium and ideal fluid medium. This method is a very effective one with the characteristic of high calculating speed and small memory needed because the formulae for this explicit finite element method have the characteristic of decoupling, and which does not need to solve sys-tem of linear equations. The method is applied to analyze the dynamic response of a reservoir with considering the dynamic interactions among water, dam, sediment and basement rock. The vertical displacement at the top point of the dam is calculated and some conclusions are given.

Finally, based on the power series method and the extended Tanh function method, some new explicit solutions of this system are constructed.

Explicit concomitance of implicit method to solve vibration equation

Explicit Iterative Methods of Second Order and Approximate Inverse Preconditioners for Solving Complex Computational Problems

Explicit Exact and Approximate Inverse Preconditioners for solving complex linear systems are introduced. A class of general iterative methods of second order is presented and the selection of iterative parameters is discussed. The second order iterative methods behave quite similar to first order methods and the development of efficient preconditioners for solving the original linear system is a decisive factor for making the second order iterative methods superior to the first order iterative methods. Adaptive preconditioned Conjugate Gradient methods using explicit approximate preconditioners for solving efficiently large sparse systems of algebraic equations are also presented. The generalized Approximate Inverse Matrix techniques can be efficiently used in conjunction with explicit iterative schemes leading to effective composite semi-direct solution methods for solving large linear systems of algebraic equations.

含时薛定谔方程是量子力学最重要的方程之一,它可以给出不同相互作用势下体系波函数的演化。相互作用势的复杂形式使得薛定谔方程一般没有解析解。如何较准确地数值求解含时薛定谔方程,对许多物理问题有着重要意义。本文采用显式与隐式的方法求解薛定谔方程。从结果可以发现,隐式的方法得到的波函数精度远高于显式方法,且误差具有收敛性。为了进一步探索隐式格式的可行性,本文还采用有限温度下的屏蔽势,利用隐式方法具体求解粲夸克偶素的波函数演化。

为了能够有效地建立随机激励作用下结构动力响应均方值、频率与时间之间的关系,基于小波多尺度分析理论,探讨了非平稳随机激励下线性结构动力响应均方值的2种计算方法:(1)先采用显式时域法求解线性结构在不同激励样本下的动力响应样本,然后基于小波多尺度分析技术对各动力响应样本进行多尺度分析;(2)先将不同的激励样本进行小波多尺度分析得到不同尺度下的激励样本,然后再基于显式时域法高效求解线性结构在不同尺度激励样本下的响应样本。最后,基于导出的响应均方值多尺度计算公式得到总的响应均方值。在数值算例部分,采用Meyer小波对结构动力响应实施了小波多尺度分析。算例结果表明,位于结构基频共振区域的那部分激励能量对位移响应均方值有较大的贡献,而对速度响应均方值和加速度响应均方值影响较为复杂。同时,数值算例还表明所提计算方法不受非平稳激励形式的限制,且可以在频域空间高效地识别出激励不同频率区间的能量对结构动力响应均方值的贡献情况。

On the transient models of the VITAS code:applications to the C5G7-TD pin-resolved benchmark problem

This article describes the transient models of the neutronics code VITAS that are used for solving time-dependent,pinresolved neutron transport equations.VITAS uses the stiffness confinement method(SCM)for temporal discretization to transform the transient equation into the corresponding transient eigenvalue problem(TEVP).To solve the pin-resolved TEVP,VITAS uses a heterogeneous variational nodal method(VNM).The spatial flux is approximated at each Cartesian node using finite elements in the x-y plane and orthogonal polynomials along the z-axis.Angular discretization utilizes the even-parity integral approach at the nodes and spherical harmonic expansions at the interfaces.To further lower the computational cost,a predictor–corrector quasi-static SCM(PCQ-SCM)was developed.Within the VNM framework,computational models for the adjoint neutron flux and kinetic parameters are presented.The direct-SCM and PCQ-SCM were implemented in VITAS and verified using the two-dimensional(2D)and three-dimensional(3D)exercises on the OECD/NEA C5G7-TD benchmark.In the 2D and 3D problems,the discrepancy between the direct-SCM solver’s results and those reported by MPACT and PANDAS-MOC was under 0.97%and 1.57%,respectively.In addition,numerical studies comparing the PCQ-SCM solver to the direct-SCM solver demonstrated that the PCQ-SCM enabled substantially larger time steps,thereby reducing the computational cost 100-fold,without compromising numerical accuracy.

Discrete mass conservation and stability analysis of the ocean-atmosphere model with coupling conditions

In this work we considered bi-domain partial differential equations(PDEs)with two coupling interface conditions.The one domain is corresponding to the ocean and the second is to the atmosphere.The two coupling conditions are used to linked the interaction between these two regions.As we know that almost every engineering problem modeled via PDEs.The analytical solutions of these kind of problems are not easy,so we use numerical approximations.In this study we discuss the two essential properties,namely mass conservation and stability analysis of two types of coupling interface conditions for the oceanatmosphere model.The coupling conditions arise in general circulation models used in climate simulations.The two coupling conditions are the Dirichlet-Neumann and bulk interface conditions.For the stability analysis,we use the Godunov-Ryabenkii theory of normal-mode analysis.The main empha-sis of this work is to study the numerical properties of coupling conditions and an important point is to maintain conservativity of the overall scheme.Furthermore,for the numerical approximation we use two methods,an explicit and implicit couplings.The implicit coupling have further two algorithms,monolithic algorithm and partitioned iterative algorithm.The partitioned iterative approach is complex as compared to the monolithic approach.In addition,the comparison of the numerical results are exhibited through graphical illustration and simulation results are drafted in tabular form to validate our theoretical investigation.The novel characteristics of the findings from this paper can be of great importance in science and ocean engineering.
