    E. Tombarević1, V. R. Voller2, I. Vušanović1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.96, No.1, pp. 1-29, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.096.001
    Abstract The Control Volume Finite Element Method (CVFEM) combines the geometric flexibility of the Finite Element Method (FEM) with the physical intuition of the Control Volume Method (CVM). These two features of the CVFEM make it a very powerful tool for solving heat and fluid flow problems within complex domain geometries. In solving problems in the two-dimensional domains the development of the CVFEM has been well documented. For the three-dimensional problems, while there is extensive reporting on the details of the numerical approximation, there is relatively sparse information on important issues related to data structure and interpolation. Here, in the context… More >

    Numerical Algorithm to Solve Fractional Integro-differential Equations Based on Operational Matrix of Generalized Block Pulse Functions

    Yunpeng Ma1, Lifeng Wang1, Zhijun Meng1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.96, No.1, pp. 31-47, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.096.031
    Abstract In this paper, we propose a numerical algorithm for solving linear and nonlinear fractional integro-differential equations based on our constructed fractional order generalized block pulse functions operational matrix of integration. The linear and nonlinear fractional integro-differential equations are transformed into a system of algebraic equations by the matrix and these algebraic equations are solved through known computational methods. Further some numerical examples are shown to illustrate the accuracy and reliability of the proposed approach. Moreover, comparing the methodology with the known technique shows that our approach is more efficient and more convenient. More >

    A Direct Forcing Immersed Boundary Method Employed With Compact Integrated RBF Approximations For Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Problems

    N. Thai-Quang1, N. Mai-Duy1, C.-D. Tran1, T. Tran-Cong1,2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.96, No.1, pp. 49-90, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.096.049
    Abstract In this paper, we present a numerical scheme, based on the direct forcing immersed boundary (DFIB) approach and compact integrated radial basis function (CIRBF) approximations, for solving the Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions. The problem domain of complicated shape is embedded in a Cartesian grid containing Eulerian nodes. Non-slip conditions on the inner boundaries, represented by Lagrangian nodes, are imposed by means of the DFIB method, in which a smoothed version of the discrete delta functions is utilised to transfer the physical quantities between two types of nodes. The velocities and pressure variables are approximated locally on Eulerian nodes using… More >
