In this paper, surface and piezoelectric effects on the vibration behavior of nanowires (NWs) are investigated by using a Timoshenko beam model. The electric field equations and the governing equations of motion for the piezoelectric NWs are derived with the consideration of surface effects. By the exact solution of the governing equations, an expression for the natural frequencies of NWs with ...

In this work, rising of a single bubble in a quiescent liquid under microgravity condition was simulated. The related unsteady incompressible full Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a conventional finite difference method with a structured staggered grid. The interface was tracked explicitly by connected marker points via hybrid front capturing and tracking method. One field approximatio...

Results of electro-thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded thick-walled spherical shell made of temperature dependent materials are presented in this article. All material properties are assumed temperature-dependent and also are graded along the thickness direction based on power function. Temperature dependency is accounted for all material properties including, thermal, mechanical a...

Effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic slip flow of Casson fluid between parallel disks in the presence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects are investigated numerically. A similarity transformation is employed to reduce the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Further, Runge-Kutta and Newton’s methods are ado...

Data-driven reduced order modeling methods that aim at extracting physically meaningful governing equations directly from measurement data are facing a growing interest in recent years. The HAVOK-algorithm is Koopman-based method distills forced, low-dimensional state-space model for given dynamical system univariate time series. This article studies the potential of HAVOK application to mechan...

Submitted for the DFD08 Meeting of The American Physical Society A low-numerical dissipation immersed interface method for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations CARLOS PANTANO, KOSTAS KARAGIOZIS, RAMJI KAMAKOTI, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign — Immersed interface methods are an alternative methodology to unstructured methods for solving fluid dynamical problems around complex geo...

Vesicles and many biological membranes are made of two monolayers of lipid molecules and form closed lipid bilayers. The dynamical behavior of vesicles is very complex and a variety of forms and shapes appear. Lipid bilayers can be considered as a surface fluid and hence the governing equations for the evolution include the surface (Navier-)Stokes equations, which in particular take the membran...

In this paper we present a new local Lagrangian approximation to the gravitational dynamics of cold matter. We describe the dynamics of a Lagrangian fluid element through only one quantity, the deformation tensor. We show that this tensor is clearly suited to the study of gravitational dynamics and, moreover, that knowing its evolution is enough to completely describe a fluid element. In order ...

We develop an algorithm for model selection which allows for the consideration of a combinatorially large number of candidate models governing a dynamical system. The innovation circumvents a disadvantage of standard model selection which typically limits the number of candidate models considered due to the intractability of computing information criteria. Using a recently developed sparse iden...

This paper presents a computational method for automatically analyzing qualitative behaviors of complex dynamical systems in phase space. To demonstrate this method, a program called MAPS has been constructed that understands qualitatively distinct features of a phase space and represents geometric information about these features in a dimension-independent description, using deep domain knowle...
