In this study, a numerical solution of 2D steady incompressible lid-driven cavity flow is presented. Three different numerical schemes were employed to make a comparison on the practicality of the methods. An alternating direction implicit scheme for the vorticity-stream function formulation, explicit and implicit schemes for the primitive variable formulation of governing Navier-Stokes equatio...

This paper applies method of continuous-time random walks for pedestrian flow simulation. In the model, pedestrians can walk forward or backward and turn left or right if there is no block. Velocities of pedestrian flow moving forward or diffusing are dominated by coefficients. The waiting time preceding each jump is assumed to follow an exponential distribution. To solve the model, a second-or...

The numerical computation of Lagrangian invariant subspaces of large scale Hamiltonian matrices is discussed in the context of the solution of Lyapunov and Riccati equations. A new version of the low-rank alternating direction implicit method is introduced, which in order to avoid numerical difficulties with solutions that are of very large norm, uses an inverse-free representation of the subsp...

With a combined compact difference scheme for the spatial discretization and the CrankNicolson scheme for the temporal discretization, respectively, a high-order alternating direction implicit method (ADI) is proposed for solving unsteady two dimensional convectiondiffusion equations. The method is sixth-order accurate in space and second-order accurate in time. The resulting matrix at each ADI...

The Fokker-Planck (FP) model is one of the commonly used methods for studies of the dynamical evolution of dense spherical stellar systems such as globular clusters and galactic nuclei. The FP model is numerically stable in most cases, but we find that it encounters numerical difficulties rather often when the effects of tidal shocks are included in two-dimensional (energy and angular momentum ...

This paper presents an approach to non-cooperative aircraft identification that uses non-linear filtering to fuse target kinematic state measurements and target signature measurements. This is applicable to sensors whose signature measurements are sensitive to the sensor-target orientation such as high range resolution radar, synthetic aperture radar, ladar and electo-optical imagers. Fusion is...

The general concept of a class of alternating difference block methods and their difference graphs are introduced. The methods are unconditionally stable, and according to the difference graphs the design of parallel algorithms and programs of the methods are flexible and easy. The traditional alternating explicit-implicit method, the AD1 method, the AGE method, the Block AD1 method and the ABE...
