A water surface slope limiting scheme is tested and compared with the water depth slope limiter for the solution of one dimensional shallow water equations with bottom slope source term. Numerical schemes based on the total variation diminishing RungeKutta discontinuous Galerkin finite element method with slope limiter schemes based on water surface slope and water depth are used to solve one-d...

Formulation, implementation and applications of a numerical algorithm to simulate turbulent, incompressible, isothermal flows are the main objectives of this work. The transient three-dimensional flow is analyzed using an explicit Taylor-Galerkin scheme and the finite element method with hexahedrical eight-node element. The scheme adopted for turbulence treatment is Large Eddy Simulation. For s...

Abstract Dynamic equations used for feed-forward control of robotic mechanisms include interdependent variables between the constituting links, since they are normally evaluated in relative polar coordinates and in the dimension of torque. Accordingly, it will become highly complicated to derive inverse dynamics of closed-loop link systems, continuously transforming systems, or of flexible link...
