Abstract The Mean First-Passage Time (MFPT) and Stochastic Resonance (SR) of a stochastic tumor-immune model with noise perturbation are discussed in this paper. Firstly, considering environmental perturbation, Gaussian white noise and Gaussian colored noise are introduced into a tumor growth model under immune surveillance. As follows, the long-time evolution of the tumor characterized by the Stationary Probability Density (SPD) and MFPT is obtained in theory on the basis of the Approximated Fokker-Planck Equation (AFPE). Herein the recurrence of the tumor from the extinction state to the tumor-present state is more concerned in this paper. A more efficient algorithm of Back-Propagation Neural… More >

Abstract The calculation of the factor of safety (FOS) is an important means of slope evaluation. This paper proposed an improved double strength reduction method (DRM) to analyze the safety of layered slopes. The physical properties of different soil layers of the slopes are different, so the single coefficient strength reduction method (SRM) is not enough to reflect the actual critical state of the slopes. Considering that the water content of the soil in the natural state is the main factor for the strength of the soil, the attenuation law of shear strength of clayey soil changing with water content is… More >

Abstract Two or multiple phases commonly occur as fluid mixture in petroleum industry, where oil, gas and water are often produced and transported together. As a result, petroleum reservoir engineers spent great efforts in the development and production of oil and gas reservoirs by conducting and interpolating the simulation of multiphase flows in porous geological formation. Meanwhile, environmental scientists use subsurface flow and transport models to investigate and compare for example various schemes to inject and store CO2 in subsurface geological formations, such as depleted reservoirs and deep saline aquifers. In this work, we first present an introduction of numerical simulation… More >

Abstract Advanced air-cooling turbine blades are capable of operating above the melting temperature of Nickel-based superalloy, which accordingly withstand complex thermomechanical fatigue loads during service life. This paper considers the problem of realizing gas turbine representative thermal gradients in the elevated temperature fatigue test, while ensuring the thermal gradient induced stress inside the specimens. For this purpose, a novel temperature control device utilizing impingement cooling, which supplies cooling air inside the gauge section and releases toward the inner wall, was constructed in tubular fatigue specimens. A single induction coil was arranged outside the gauge section, providing heat sources to establish thermal… More >

Abstract Landslide, debris flow and other large-scale natural disasters have a great threat to human life and property safety. The accuracy of prediction and calculation of large-scale disasters still needs great improvement, so as the study of prevention and interaction. In this paper, the depth-integrated shallow water flow model is adopted, and the numerical method of Kurganov developed in recent years is used to develop a highresolution algorithm which can capture shock waves and satisfy the hydrodynamic conditions. In order to make it adapt to the granular flow, appropriate adjustment is made distinct from the original aerodynamic problem, and it can… More >

Abstract In this article, the heat, momentum and mass (species) transfer in external boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid from an isothermal sphere surface is studied theoretically. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are incorporated in the model in the presence of both heat and nanoparticle mass transfer. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into highly nonlinear, coupled, multi-degree non-similar partial differential equations consisting of the momentum, energy and concentration equations via appropriate non-similarity transformations. These transformed conservation equations are solved subject to appropriate boundary conditions with a second order accurate finite difference method of the implicit type.… More >

Abstract One row of heated elliptical cylinder with aspect ratio 0.6 and 0.8 are studied to know the forced heat transfer performance. The transversal distance between the cylinders are changed and the heat transfer is observed. Numerical observation of the study is done by using finite volume method to solve the momentum equations in two dimension domains. The pressure term instead of velocity is obtained by measurement in a subsonic wind tunnel and then it is injected into the momentum equation. The results of the hydrodynamic calculation are then injected into the energy equation which is solved by the over relaxation… More >

Abstract In this article, we investigate the nonlinear steady state boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible Jeffery non-Newtonian fluid from a permeable horizontal isothermal cylinder. The transformed conservation equations are solved numerically subject to physically appropriate boundary conditions using a versatile, implicit, finite-difference technique. The numerical code is validated with previous studies. The influence of a number of emerging non-dimensional parameters, namely with Deborah number (De), surface suction parameter (S), Prandtl number (Pr), ratio of relaxation to retardation times (λ) and dimensionless tangential coordinate (ξ) on velocity and temperature evolution in the boundary layer regime are examined in… More >

Abstract Statistical distributions are used to model wind speed, and the two-parameters Weibull distribution has proven its effectiveness at characterizing wind speed. Accurate estimation of Weibull parameters, the scale (c) and shape (k), is crucial in describing the actual wind speed data and evaluating the wind energy potential. Therefore, this study compares the most common conventional numerical (CN) estimation methods and the recent intelligent optimization algorithms (IOA) to show how precise estimation of c and k affects the wind energy resource assessments. In addition, this study conducts technical and economic feasibility studies for five sites in the northern part of Saudi… More >

Abstract The human immunodeficiency viruses are two species of Lentivirus that infect humans. Over time, they cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, a condition in which progressive immune system failure allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. Human immunodeficiency virus infection came from a type of chimpanzee in Central Africa. Studies show that immunodeficiency viruses may have jumped from chimpanzees to humans as far back as the late 1800s. Over decades, human immunodeficiency viruses slowly spread across Africa and later into other parts of the world. The Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) models are significant in studying disease dynamics. In this paper, we have studied… More >
