A Numerically Stable Method for Integrationof the Multicomponent SpeciesDiffusion Equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A diagonally implicit method is shown to be an effective method for integrating the multicomponent species conservation equations. The constitutive equation for multicomponent diffusion is recast into a form analogous to that for binary diffusion, except that the diffusion coefficient is replaced with a matrix of effective multicomponent diffusion coefficients. The resulting matrix has properties that allow the diagonal terms to be integrated implicitly and the off-diagonal terms to be integrated explicitly. Numerical experiments show the integration procedure is stable for time steps much larger than the diffusion equation time step condition.

On the split-step method for the solution of nonlinear Schr"{o}dinger equation with the Riesz space fractional derivative
The aim of this paper is to extend the split-step idea for the solution of fractional partial differential equations. We consider the multidimensional nonlinear Schr"{o}dinger equation with the Riesz space fractional derivative and propose an efficient numerical algorithm to obtain it's approximate solutions. To this end, we first discretize the Riesz fractional derivative then apply the Crank-...

The equation of state Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) and its modification (predictive SRK or PSRK) are applied to simulate multicomponet distillation, which separate main component of spearmint essential oil. The simulation model is based on bubble point method, and the Wang-Henke algorithm. Spearmint essential oil is considered in the study and the original experimental data were obtained f...
متن کاملDynamics of multicomponent vesicles in a viscous fluid
We develop and investigate numerically a thermodynamically consistent model of two-dimensional multicomponent vesicles in an incompressible viscous fluid. The model is derived using an energy variation approach that accounts for different lipid surface phases, the excess energy (line energy) associated with surface phase domain boundaries, bending energy, spontaneous curvature, local inextensib...
متن کاملAxisymmetric multicomponent vesicles: A comparison of hydrodynamic and geometric models.
Using a mathematical model, we investigate the role of hydrodynamic forces on three-dimensional axisymmetric multicomponent vesicles. The equations are derived using an energy variation approach that accounts for different surface phases, the excess energy associated with surface domain boundaries, bending energy and inextensibility. The equations are high-order (fourth order) nonlinear and non...
متن کاملStable Gaussian radial basis function method for solving Helmholtz equations
Radial basis functions (RBFs) are a powerful tool for approximating the solution of high-dimensional problems. They are often referred to as a meshfree method and can be spectrally accurate. In this paper, we analyze a new stable method for evaluating Gaussian radial basis function interpolants based on the eigenfunction expansion. We develop our approach in two-dimensional spaces for so...
