A lumped heat transfer model and parameter estimation technique are proposed for determining key parameters associated with a heat flux Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). The development of a mathematical algorithm utilizing this model and technique is illustrated in Part I of this two-part paper. In Part II, a computational algorithm which has been constructed for the proposed method is ...

We study the performance of methods of lines combining discontinuous Galerkin spatial discretizations and explicit Runge-Kutta time integrators, with the aim of deriving optimal Runge-Kutta schemes for wave propagation applications. We review relevant Runge-Kutta methods from literature, and consider schemes of order q from 3 to 4, and number of stages up to q + 4, for optimization. From a user...

Additive Runge Kutta (ARK) methods are investigated for application to the spatially discretized one dimensional convection diffusion reaction (CDR) equations. First, accuracy, stability, conservation, and dense output are considered for the general case when N different Runge Kutta methods are grouped into a single composite method. Then, implicit explicit, N = 2, additive Runge Kutta (ARK2) m...

Based on reasonable testing model problems, we study the preservation by symplectic Runge-Kutta method (SRK) and symplectic partitioned Runge-Kutta method (SPRK) of structures for fixed points of linear Hamiltonian systems. The structure-preservation region provides a practical criterion for choosing step-size in symplectic computation. Examples are given to justify the investigation.

This paper presents a family of Runge{Kutta type integration schemes of arbitrarily high order for di erential equations evolving on manifolds. We prove that any classical Runge{Kutta method can be turned into an invariant method of the same order on a general homogeneous manifold, and present a family of algorithms that are relatively simple to implement.

The paper details the use of a nonperturbation successive linearization method to solve the coupled nonlinear boundary value problem due to double-diffusive convection from an inverted cone. Diffusion-thermo and thermal-diffusion effects have been taken into account. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using a suitable similarity tra...

In this paper we study a class of explicit pseudo two-step Runge-Kutta (EP-TRK) methods for rst-order ODEs for parallel computers. We investigate linear stability and derive methods with enlarged stability regions. In numerical experiments on a shared memory computer we compare a parallel variable step size EPTRK implementation with the eecient sequential Runge-Kutta method dopri5.

The numerical integration of Hamiltonian systems with oscillating solutions is considered in this paper. A diagonally implicit symplectic nine-stages Runge-Kutta method with algebraic order 6 and dispersion order 8 is presented. Numerical experiments with some Hamiltonian oscillatory problems are presented to show the proposed method is as competitive as the existing same type Runge-Kutta methods.

This paper is concerned with time-stepping numerical methods for computing stii semi-discrete systems of ordinary diierential equations for transient hyper-sonic ows with thermo-chemical nonequilibrium. The stiiness of the equations is mainly caused by the vis-cous ux terms across the boundary layers and by the source terms modeling nite-rate thermo-chemical processes. Implicit methods are need...
