    A Meshless Simulations for 2D Nonlinear Reaction-diffusion Brusselator System

    Ahmad Shirzadi1, Vladimir Sladek2, Jan Sladek3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.95, No.4, pp. 259-282, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.095.259
    Abstract This paper is concerned with the development of a numerical approach based on the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method for the approximate solutions of the two dimensional nonlinear reaction-diffusion Brusselator systems. The method uses finite differences for discretizing the time variable and the moving least squares (MLS) approximation for field variables. The application of the weak formulation with the Heaviside type test functions supported on local subdomains (around the nodes used in MLS approximation) to semi-discretized partial differential equations yields the finite-volume local weak formulation. A predictor-corrector scheme is used to handle the nonlinearity of More >

    Numerical Modelling of Liquid Jet Breakup by Different Liquid Jet/Air Flow Orientations Using the Level Set Method

    Ashraf Balabel1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.95, No.4, pp. 283-302, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.095.283
    Abstract This paper presents the numerical results obtained from the numerical simulation of turbulent liquid jet atomization due to three distinctly different types of liquid jets/air orientations; namely, coflow jet, coaxial jet and the combined coflow-coaxial jet. The applied numerical method, developed by the present authors, is based on the solution of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations for time-dependent, axisymmetric and incompressible two-phase flow in both phases separately and on regular and structured cell-centered collocated grids using the control volume approach. The transition from one phase to another is performed through a consistent balance of… More >

    Comparative Study of the Water Response to External Force at Nanoscale and Mesoscale

    H.T. Liu1,2, Z. Chen2, S. Jiang2, Y. Gan3, M.B. Liu4, J.Z. Chang1, Z.H. Tong1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.95, No.4, pp. 303-315, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.095.303
    Abstract Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and molecular dynamics (MD) are both Lagrangian particle-based methods with similar equations except that the DPD specification for the force definition on the particles is the result of coarsegraining, and these two methods usually get the similar results in some specific cases. However, there are still some unknown differences between them. Considering the water response to external force, a comparative study of DPD and MD is conducted in this paper, which provides a better understanding on their relation, and a potential way to effectively bridge nanoscale and mesoscale simulation procedures.

    A Self-regularization Technique in Boundary Element Method for 3-D Stress Analysis

    M. G. He1, C.L. Tan1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.95, No.4, pp. 317-349, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.095.315
    Abstract The self-regularization technique in the Boundary Element Method (BEM) originally proposed by Cruse and Richardson (1996, 1999) in their work for two-dimensional (2-D) stress analysis is extended to three-dimensional (3-D) elastostatics in this paper. The regularization scheme addresses the issue of accurate numerical evaluation of the integrals due to the singularity of the kernel functions of the integral equations. It is first implemented for the determination of displacements and stresses at interior points of the solution domain, and very accurate results are obtained even when these points are very close to the surface of the More >
