Abstract A mathematical model is elaborated for a thermoelastic infinite body with a spherical cavity. A generalized set of governing equations is formulated in the context of three different models of thermoelasticity: the Biot model, also known as “coupled thermoelasticity” model; the Lord-Shulman model, also referred to as “generalized thermoelasticity with one-relaxation time” approach; and the Green-Lindsay model, also called “generalized thermoelasticity with two-relaxation times” approach. The Adomian’s decomposition method is used to solve the related mathematical problem. The bounding plane of the cavity is subjected to harmonic thermal loading with zero heat flux and strain. Numerical results for the temperature,… More >

Abstract In a wind turbine blade, laminated plates consisting of fiber reinforced plastic materials are generally used due to its high specific strength. We have been developing a large-scale finite element solver to analyze the wind turbine blade structure. For such a structure, the laminated finite element is frequently used in modeling. Each laminated finite element has multiple layers, each of which is an orthotropic body in order to model the layered fiber reinforced materials with different fiber directions. Also, since a realistic wind turbine blade structure generally requires a large number of finite elements for discretization, we adopted a domain… More >

Abstract We use a meshless numerical method to analyze the eigenanalysis of thin circular membranes with degenerate boundary conditions, composed by different orientations and structures of stringers. The membrane eigenproblem is studied by solving the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation utilizing the method of fundamental solutions and domain decomposition technique as well. The method of singular value decomposition is adopted to obtain eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the resulting system of global linear equation. The proposed novel numerical scheme was first validated by three circular membranes which are structured with a single edge stringer, two opposite edge stringers and an internal stringer. Present results… More >

Abstract A matrix equation solved in an eddy current analysis, A-ϕ method based on a domain decomposition method becomes a complex symmetric system. In general, iterative method is used as the solver. Convergence of iterative method in an interface problem is improved by increasing an accuracy of a solution of an iterative method of a subdomain problem. However, it is difficult to improve the convergence by using a small convergence criterion in the subdomain problem. Therefore, authors propose a method to introduce double-double precision into the interface problem and the subdomain problem. This proposed method improves the convergence of the interface… More >

Abstract This paper compares the variational iteration method (VIM), the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the Picard iteration method (PIM) for solving a system of first order nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). A unification of the concepts underlying these three methods is attempted by considering a very general iterative algorithm for VIM. It is found that all the three methods can be regarded as special cases of using a very general matrix of Lagrange multipliers in the iterative algorithm of VIM. The global variational iteration method is briefly reviewed, and further recast into a Local VIM, which is much more convenient… More >

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the problem of selecting of the convergence parameter c in the Adomian decomposition method. Through the curves of the n-term approximations Φ_n(t;c) versus c for different specified values of n and t, we demonstrate how to determine the value of c such that the decomposition series has a larger effective region of convergence.

Abstract In this paper, we use the modified decomposition method (MDM) to solve the unsteady flow of a nanofluid squeezing between two parallel equations. Copper as nanoparticle with water as its base fluid has considered. The effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid are calculated by the Maxwell- Garnetts (MG) and Brinkman models, respectively. The effects of the squeeze number, the nanofluid volume fraction, Eckert number, δ on Nusselt number and the Prandtl number are investigated. The figures and tables clearly show high accuracy of the method to solve the unsteady flow. More >

Abstract In this paper, we construct the Lane–Emden–Fowler type equations of higher orders. We study the linear and the nonlinear Lane–Emden–Fowler type equations of the third and fourth orders, where other forms can be treated in a similar manner. We use the systematic Adomian decomposition method to handle these types of equations with specified initial conditions. We confirm that the Adomian decomposition method provides an efficient algorithm for exact and approximate analytic solutions of these equations. We corroborate this study by investigating several numerical examples that emphasize initial value problems. More >

Abstract In this paper, the modified decomposition method (MDM) for solving the nonlinear two-dimensional viscous flow equations is presented. This study investigates the problem of laminar, isothermal, incompressible and viscous flow in a rectangular domain bounded by two moving porous walls, which enable the fluid to enter or exit during successive expansions or contractions. We first transform the original two-dimensional viscous flow problem into an equivalent fourth-order boundary value problem (BVP), then solve the problem by the MDM. The figures and tables clearly show high accuracy of the method to solve two-dimensional viscous flow. More >

Abstract In this paper, a high performance computing method based on the Integrated Radial Basis Function (IRBF), Control Volume (CV) and Domain Decomposition technique for solving Partial Differential Equations is presented. The goal is to develop an efficient parallel algorithm based on the Compact Local IRBF method using the CV approach, especially for problems with non-rectangular domain. The results showed that the goal is achieved as the computational efficiency is quite significant. For the case of square lid driven cavity problem with Renoylds number 100, super-linear speed-up is also achieved. The parallel algorithm is implemented in the Matlab environment using Parallel… More >
