The immersed boundary method has been extensively used to simulate the motion of elastic structures immersed in a viscous fluid. For some applications, such as modeling biological materials, capturing internal boundary viscosity is important. We present numerical methods for simulating Kelvin-Voigt and standard linear viscoelastic structures immersed in zero Reynolds number flow. We find that t...

the present study is an attempt toward evaluating the performance of portfolios using mean-variance-skewness model with negative data. mean-variance non-linear framework and mean-variance-skewness non- linear framework had been proposed based on data envelopment analysis, which the variance of the assets had been used as an input to the dea and expected return and skewness were the output. conv...

water resources sustainability is one of the major issues in the agricultural sustainability. in this study sustainability of water resources has been investigated by use of linear and non-linear models in six models based on optimal utilization of water resources in the north parts farms of iran because of incorrect use of agricultural water resources, from 2011 to 2012. also “gross margin per...

In this paper, the non-Fourier heat conduction in a semi-infinite body was examined. The heat wave non-Fourier heat conduction model was used for thermal analysis. Thermal conductivity was assumed temperature-dependent which resulted in a non-linear equation. The heat source was also considered temperature-dependent which resulted in a non-homogeneous equation. The Mac-Cormack predictor-correct...
