this paper presents the application of the generalized differential quadrature (gdq) method for the hydrodynamic analysis of circular and noncircular, two lobe and three lobe, journal bearings. gdq is a simple, efficient, high-order numerical technique and it uses the information on all grid points to approach the derivatives of the unknown function. the effectiveness of the solution technique ...

The new version of differential quadrature (DQ) method is extended to analyze the free vibration of thin sector orthotropic plates on the Pasternak elastic foundation with various sector angles and elastic parameters. Detailed formulations are given. Comparisons are made with existing analytical and/or numerical data. Numerical results indicate that convergence can be achieved with increasing i...

This paper introduces a novel method named DEGL (Differential Evolution with global and local neighborhoods) regarding the design of two channel quadrature mirror filter with linear phase characteristics. To match the ideal system response characteristics, this improved variant of Differential Evolution technique is employed to optimize the values of the filter bank coefficients. The filter res...

In this paper, the semi-numerical techniques known as the optimal homotopy analysis method (HAM) and Differential Transform Method (DTM) are applied to study the magneto-hemodynamic laminar viscous flow of a conducting physiological fluid in a semi-porous channel under a transverse magnetic field. The two-dimensional momentum conservation partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary f...

Numerical solutions of the generalized Burgers-Huxley equation are obtained using a polynomial differential quadrature method with minimal computational effort. To achieve this, a combination of a polynomial-based differential quadrature method in space and a low-storage third-order total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta scheme in time has been used. The computed results with the use of this t...

Many authors have investigated numerical methods for solving stochastic differential equations and their boundary value problems. The situation with numerical stochastic integration, as a subject of its own, has so far been different. It has not been studied with the same vigor as of investigating ordinary numerical integration. Consequently, a timely question appears to arise here on whether u...

In this paper, conjugate heat transfer of magneto hydrodynamic mixed convection of nanofluid about a vertical slender hollow cylinder embedded in a porous medium with high porosity have been numerically studied. The Forchheimer’s modification of Darcy’s law was used in representing the nanofluid motion inside the porous media. The governing boundary layer equations were transformed to non-dimen...
