    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.97, No.4, pp. 299-322, 2014, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2014.097.299
    Abstract Space-fractional advection-diffusion equation is a promising tool to describe the solute anomalous transport in underground water, and it has been extended to multi-dimensions with the help of weighted, fractional directional diffusion operator [Benson, Wheatcraft and Meerschaert (2000)]. Due to the nonlocal property of the space-fractional derivative, it is always a challenge to develop an efficient numerical solution method. The present paper extends the polynomialbased differential quadrature and cubature methods to the solution of steady-state spatial fractional advection-diffusion equations on a rectangular domain. An improved differential cubature method is proposed which accelerates the solution process considerably. More >

    An Incremental Kriging Method for Sequential Optimal Experimental Design

    Yaohui Li1,2, Yizhong Wu1,3, Zhengdong Huang1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.97, No.4, pp. 323-357, 2014, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2014.097.323
    Abstract Kriging model, which provides an exact interpolation and minimizes the error estimates, is a highly-precise global approximation model in contrast with other traditional response surfaces. Therefore, sequential exploratory experimental design (SEED) with Kriging model is crucial for globally approximating a complex black-box function. However, the more sampling points are, the longer time it would take to update the Kriging model during sequential exploratory design. This paper, therefore, proposes a new construction method called incremental Kriging method (IKM) to improve the constructing efficiency with just a little and controllable loss of accuracy for Kriging model.

    Forced Vibrations of a System Consisting of a Pre-strained Highly Elastic Plate under Compressible Viscous Fluid Loading

    S. D. Akbarov1,2, M. I. Ismailov3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.97, No.4, pp. 359-390, 2014, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2014.097.359
    Abstract The forced vibration of the system consisting of the pre-stretched plate made of highly-elastic material and half-plane filled by barotropic compressible Newtonian viscous fluid is considered. It is assumed that this forced vibration is caused by the lineal located time-harmonic force acting on the free face plane of the plate. The motion of the pre-stretched plate is written by utilizing of the linearized exact equations of the theory of elastic waves in the initially stressed bodies, but the motion of the compressible viscous fluid is described by the linearized Navier-Stokes equations. The elastic relations of… More >
