Dispersion and deposition of aerosol particles over two square cylinders confined in a channel in laminar unsteady vortical flow were investigated numerically. Lattice Boltzmann method was used to calculate fluid characteristics and modify Euler method was employed as Lagrangian particle tracing procedure to obtain particle trajectories. Drag, Saffman lift, gravity, buoyancy and Brownian motion...

The need to determine a few eigenvalues of a large sparse generalised eigenvalue problem Ax = Bx with semi-positive deenite B arises in many physical situations, for example, in a stability analysis of the discretised Navier-Stokes equation. A common technique is to apply Arnoldi's method to the shift-invert transformation, but this can suuer from numerical instabilities as is illustrated by a ...

The need to determine a few eigenvalues of a large sparse generalised eigenvalue problem Ax = λBx with positive semidefinite B arises in many physical situations, for example, in a stability analysis of the discretised Navier-Stokes equation. A common technique is to apply Arnoldi’s method to the shift-invert transformation, but this can suffer from numerical instabilities as is illustrated by ...

We introduce the orbital Stokes parameters as a linear combination of a beam's second-order moments. Similar to the ones describing the field polarization and associated with beam energy and its spin angular momentum, the orbital Stokes parameters are related to the total beam width and its orbital angular momentum. We derive the transformation laws for these parameters during beam propagation ...

The fluid motion generated adjacent to an infinite flat plate undergoing orbital motion in its own plane is a generalization of the classical Stokes-layer profile. We show that the stabilities of these flows can be related to each other via two transformations directly analogous to the well-known Squire transformation. The main result obtained is that, in general, the two-dimensional Stokes lay...

in this paper, the dierential transform method (dtm) is applied to the fisherequation. this method can be used to obtain the exact solutions of fisherequation. finally, we give some examples to illustrate the suciency of themethod for solving such nonlinear partial dierential equations. these resultsshow that this technique is easy to apply.

A coupled Legendre-Laguerre spectral element method is proposed for the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains. The method combines advantages of the high accuracy of the Laguerre-spectral method for unbounded domains and the geometric flexibility of the spectral-element method. Rigorous stability and error analysis for the Stokes problem is carried out. Numerical results indic...

ILU smoothers are good smoothers for linear multigrid methods. In this paper, a new ILU smoother for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, called CILU (Collective ILU), is designed, based on r-transformations. Existing ILU decompositions factorize the matrix with real elements. In CILU the elements of the matrix that is factorized are submatrices, corresponding to the set of physical vari...
