Abstract This study presents a numerical analysis of the steady-state solution for transient magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) dissipative and radiative fluid flow, incorporating an induced magnetic field (IMF) and considering a relatively high concentration of foreign mass (accounting for Soret and Dufour effects) over a vertically oriented semi-infinite plate. The governing equations were normalized using boundary layer (BL) approximations. The resulting nonlinear system of partial differential equations (PDEs) was discretized and solved using an efficient explicit finite difference method (FDM). Numerical simulations were conducted using MATLAB R2015a, and the developed numerical code was verified through comparison with another… More >

Abstract The generalized finite difference method (GFDM), which cooperated with the fictitious-nodes technique, is proposed in this study to accurately analyze three-dimensional boundary value problems, governed by high-order partial differential equations. Some physical applications can be mathematically described by boundary value problems governed by high-order partial differential equations, but it is non-trivial to analyze the high-order partial differential equations by adopting conventional mesh-based numerical schemes, such as finite difference method, the finite element method, etc. In this study, the GFDM, a localized meshless method, is proposed to accurately and efficiently solve boundary value problems governed by… More >

Abstract Heat transport has been significantly enhanced by the widespread usage of extended surfaces in various engineering domains. Gas turbine blade cooling, refrigeration, and electronic equipment cooling are a few prevalent applications. Thus, the thermal analysis of extended surfaces has been the subject of a significant assessment by researchers. Motivated by this, the present study describes the unsteady thermal dispersal phenomena in a wavy fin with the presence of convection heat transmission. This analysis also emphasizes a novel mathematical model in accordance with transient thermal change in a wavy profiled fin resulting from convection using the… More >

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 This study intends to evaluate the influence of temperature stratification on an unsteady fluid flow past an accelerated vertical plate in the existence of viscous dissipation. It is assumed that the medium under study is a grey, non-scattered fluid that both fascinates and transmits radiation. The leading equations are discretized using the finite difference method (FDM). Using MATLAB software, the impacts of flow factors on flow fields are revealed with particular examples in graphs and a table. In this regard, FDM results show that the velocity and temperature gradients increase with an increase of Eckert 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 >
