and Applied Analysis 3 The grid function y(x, t) is a function defined at the grid points of g. we denote the nodal values of a grid function y(x, t) between time levels t 0 and t 0 as y (x, t) = y (x 1 , x 2 , t l,j i ) = y l,j n1 ,n2 , (11) for x ∈ ω i , i > 0, j = 0, . . . , m i . For x ∈ ω 0 we define y (x, t) = y (x 1 , x 2 , t l+1 0 ) = y l+1 n1 ,n2 . (12) δ x1 , δ x1 and δ x2 , δ x2 are ...

A 3D parallel overlapping scheme for viscous incompressible flow problems is presented that combines the finite element method, which is best suited for analysing flow in any arbitrarily shaped flow geometry, with the finite difference method, which is advantageous in terms of both computing time and computer storage. A modified ABMAC method is used as the solution algorithm, to which a sophist...

As the number of processor cores on supercomputers becomes larger and larger, algorithms with high degree of parallelism attract more attention. In this work, we propose a novel space-time coupled algorithm for solving an inverse problem associated with the time-dependent convection-diffusion equation in three dimensions. We introduce a mixed finite element/finite difference method and a one-le...

In this paper, we propose a new conservative hybrid finite element-finite difference method for the Vlasov equation. The proposed methodology uses Strang splitting to decouple the nonlinear high dimensional Vlasov equation into two lower dimensional equations, which describe spatial advection and velocity acceleration/deceleration processes respectively. We then propose to use a semi-Lagrangian...

Motor startup speed profile of motor rotational speed versus rotational angle can often be very useful during product developments, such as for detailed kinematic or dynamic component analyses. In compressor tests, a sensor, usually a proximity probe or an optical pickup, is commonly used to generate low-resolution timing signals. The lowresolution timing signals are sufficient to detect the an...

In Xu [11], a class of parametrized flux limiters is developed for high order finite difference/volume essentially non-oscillatory (ENO) and Weighted ENO (WENO) schemes coupled with total variation diminishing (TVD) Runge-Kutta (RK) temporal integration for solving scalar hyperbolic conservation laws to achieve strict maximum principle preserving (MPP). In this paper, we continue along this lin...
