Abstract In this study, we propose an efficient numerical framework to attain the solution of the extended Fisher-Kolmogorov (EFK) problem. The temporal derivative in the EFK equation is approximated by utilizing the Crank-Nicolson scheme. Following temporal discretization, the generalized finite difference method (GFDM) with supplementary nodes is utilized to address the nonlinear boundary value problems at each time node. These supplementary nodes are distributed along the boundary to match the number of boundary nodes. By incorporating supplementary nodes, the resulting nonlinear algebraic equations can effectively satisfy the governing equation and boundary conditions of the EFK equation. More >

Abstract Transient heat conduction problems widely exist in engineering. In previous work on the peridynamic differential operator (PDDO) method for solving such problems, both time and spatial derivatives were discretized using the PDDO method, resulting in increased complexity and programming difficulty. In this work, the forward difference formula, the backward difference formula, and the centered difference formula are used to discretize the time derivative, while the PDDO method is used to discretize the spatial derivative. Three new schemes for solving transient heat conduction equations have been developed, namely, the forward-in-time and PDDO in space (FT-PDDO) scheme,… More >

Abstract The study in this manuscript aims to analyse the impact of thermal radiation on the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic flow of upper convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid between parallel plates. The lower plate is porous and stationary, while the top plate is impermeable and moving. The equations that describe the flow are transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations with boundary conditions by employing similarity transformations. The Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is then employed to approach the obtained non-linear ordinary differential equations and get an approximate analytical solution. The analysis includes plotting the velocity profile for different Reynolds number… More >

Abstract The natural convection from a vertical hot plate with radiation and constant flux is studied numerically to know the velocity and temperature distribution characteristics over a vertical hot plate. The governing equations of the natural convection in two-dimension are solved with the implicit finite difference method, whereas the discretized equations are solved with the iterative relaxation method. The results show that the velocity and the temperature increase along the vertical wall. The influence of the radiation parameter in the boundary layer is significant in increasing the velocity and temperature profiles. The velocity profiles increase with More >

Abstract In the past decade, notable progress has been achieved in the development of the generalized finite difference method (GFDM). The underlying principle of GFDM involves dividing the domain into multiple sub-domains. Within each sub-domain, explicit formulas for the necessary partial derivatives of the partial differential equations (PDEs) can be obtained through the application of Taylor series expansion and moving-least square approximation methods. Consequently, the method generates a sparse coefficient matrix, exhibiting a banded structure, making it highly advantageous for large-scale engineering computations. In this study, we present the application of the GFDM to numerically solve More >

Abstract Wind energy is one of the most promising renewable energies in the world. To generate more electricity, the wind turbines are getting larger and larger in recent decades [1]. With the wind turbine size growing, the length of the blade is getting slender. The large deflections of slender wind turbine blade will inevitably lead to geometric nonlinearities [2], e.g. nonlinear coupling between torsion and deflection, which complicates the governing equations of motion. To simplify the solution of the nonlinear equations, in the current research, a novel finite-difference method was proposed to solve the nonlinear equations… More >

Abstract In the present study, we consider Casson fluid flow between two porous plates with permeability criteria in the presence of heat transfer and magnetic effect. A proper set of similarity transformations simplify the Navier-Stokes equations to non-linear ODEs with boundary conditions. The homotopy perturbation method is an efficient and stable method which is used to get solutions. Further, the results obtained are compared with the solution computed through an effective and efficient finite difference approach. The purpose of this analysis is to study the four different cases arise viz: suction, injection, mixed suction and mixed More >

Abstract The paper explores the gravity-driven flow of the thin film of a viscoelastic-fluid-based nanofluids (VFBN) along an inclined plane under non-isothermal conditions and subjected to convective cooling at the free-surface. The Newton’s law of cooling is used to model the convective heat-exchange with the ambient at the free-surface. The Giesekus viscoelastic constitutive model, with appropriate modifications to account for non-isothermal effects, is employed to describe the polymeric effects. The unsteady and coupled non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs) describing the model problem are obtained and solved via efficient semi-implicit numerical schemes based on finite difference methods More >

Abstract Resin transfer molding (RTM) is among the most used manufacturing processes for composite parts. Initially, the resin cure is initiated by heat supply to the mold. The supplementary heat generated during the reaction can cause thermal gradients in the composite, potentially leading to undesired residual stresses which can cause shrinkage and warpage. In the present numerical study of these processes, a one-dimensional finite difference method is used to predict the temperature evolution and the degree of cure in the course of the resin polymerization; the effect of some parameters on the thermal gradient is then More >

Abstract In this paper, a fast element-free Galerkin (FEFG) method for three-dimensional (3D) elasticity problems is established. The FEFG method is a combination of the improved element-free Galerkin (IEFG) method and the dimension splitting method (DSM). By using the DSM, a 3D problem is converted to a series of 2D ones, and the IEFG method with a weighted orthogonal function as the basis function and the cubic spline function as the weight function is applied to simulate these 2D problems. The essential boundary conditions are treated by the penalty method. The splitting direction uses the finite More >
