Abstract Capillarity is prevalent in nature, daily life, and industrial processes, governed by the fundamental Young-Laplace equation. Solving this equation not only enhances our understanding of natural phenomena but also provides valuable insights into industrial advancements. To address challenges posed by conventional numerical methods in parameter identification and complex boundary condition handling, the Young-Laplace Physics-informed Neural Network (Y-L PINN) is introduced to solve the Young-Laplace equation within a tubular domain. Through computational analyses focusing on the classical capillary rise case, the proposed method's accuracy is affirmed through comparisons with Jurin's law, experimental data, and numerical results.… More >

Abstract To solve the Laplacian problems, we adopt a meshless method with the multiquadric radial basis function (MQ-RBF) as a basis whose center is distributed inside a circle with a fictitious radius. A maximal projection technique is developed to identify the optimal shape factor and fictitious radius by minimizing a merit function. A sample function is interpolated by the MQ-RBF to provide a trial coefficient vector to compute the merit function. We can quickly determine the optimal values of the parameters within a preferred rage using the golden section search algorithm. The novel method provides the More >

Abstract

In this paper, the equal-norm multiple-scale Trefftz method combined with the implicit Lie-group scheme is applied to solve the two-dimensional nonlinear sloshing problem with baffles. When considering solving sloshing problems with baffles by using boundary integral methods, degenerate geometry and problems of numerical instability are inevitable. To avoid numerical instability, the multiple-scale characteristic lengths are introduced into T-complete basis functions to efficiently govern the high-order oscillation disturbance. Again, the numerical noise propagation at each time step is eliminated by the vector regularization method and the group-preserving scheme. A weighting factor of the group-preserving scheme is introduced

Abstract A new transform method for solving boundary value problems in two dimensions was proposed by A.S. Fokas, namely the unified transform. This approach seeks a solution to the unknown boundary values by solving a global relation, using the known boundary data. This relation can be used to characterize the Dirichlet to Neumann map. For the numerical solution of the global relation, a collocation-type method was recently introduced. Hence, the considered method is used for solving the 2D Laplace equation in several irregular convex polygons. The linear system, resulting from the collocation-type method, was solved by More >

Abstract We consider the numerical solution of the Laplace equations in planar bounded domains with corners for two types of boundary conditions. The first one is the mixed boundary value problem (Dirichlet-Neumann), which is reduced, via a single-layer potential ansatz, to a system of well-posed boundary integral equations. The second one is the Cauchy problem having Dirichlet and Neumann data given on a part of the boundary of the solution domain. This problem is similarly transformed into a system of ill-posed boundary integral equations. For both systems, to numerically solve them, a mesh grading transformation is More >

Abstract This paper presents an efficient strategy for the accurate evaluation of near-boundary solutions in the regularized meshless method (RMM), also known as the boundary layer effect associated with the boundary element method. The RMM uses the double layer potentials as its interpolation basis function. When the field point is close to the boundary, the basis function will present nearly strongand hyper-singularities, respectively, for potentials and its derivative. This paper represents the first attempt to apply a nonlinear transformation, based on sinh function, to the accurate evaluation of nearly singular kernels associated with the RMM. The More >

Abstract The Cell Method (CM) is a numerical method to solve field equations starting from its direct algebraic formulation. For two-dimensional problems it has been demonstrated that using simplicial elements with an affine interpolation, the CM obtains the same fundamental equation of the Finite Element Method (FEM); using the quadratic interpolation functions, the fundamental equation differs depending on how the dual cell is defined. In spite of that, the CM can still provide the same convergence rate obtainable with the FEM. Particularly, adopting a uniform triangulation and basing the dual cells on the Gauss points of More >

Abstract In this paper, we propose an algorithm to solve a Cauchy problem of the Laplace equation in doubly connected domains for 2D and 3D cases in which the Cauchy data are given on the outer boundary. We want to seek a solution in the form of the single-layer potential and discrete it by parametrization to yield an ill-conditioned system of algebraic equations. Then we apply the Tikhonov regularization method to solve this ill-posed problem and obtain a stable numerical solution. Based on the regularization parameter chosen suitably by GCV criterion, the proposed method can get More >

Abstract A 2-D time-domain numerical coupled model for non-linear wave forces acting on a fixed ship is developed in the present study. The whole domain is divided into the inner domain and the outer domain. The inner domain is the area around the ship section and the flow is described by the Laplace equation. The remaining area is the outer domain and the flow is defined by the higher-order Boussinesq equations in order to consider the nonlinearity of the wave motions. The matching conditions on the interfaces between the inner domain and the outer domain are… More >

Abstract Recently, Liu (CMES 21(2007), 53) developed the modified collocation Trefftz method (MCTM) by setting a characteristic length slightly larger than the maximum radius of the computational domain. In this study, we find that the range of admissible characteristic length can be significantly enlarged if the LU decomposition is applied for solving the resulted dense unsymmetric matrix. Furthermore, we discover a range formula for admissible characteristic length, in which the number of the T-complete functions, the shape of the computation domain, and the exponent bits of the involved floating-point arithmetic have been taken into consideration.
