In this follow-up of our previous work [Zhang et. al., A fourth-order accurate finitevolume method with structured adaptive mesh refinement for solving the advectiondiffusion equation, SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 34 (2012) B179-B201], the author proposes a high-order semi-implicit method for numerically solving the incompressible NavierStokes equations on locally-refined periodic domains. Fourth-order...

This investigation deals with the effects of slip, magnetic field and non-Newtonian flow parameters on flow and heat transfer of an incompressible, electrically conducting fourth grade fluid past an infinite porous plate subject to suction and blowing, known as the Blasius flow problem. The heat transfer analysis has been carried out for two heating processes, namely, when the plate is assumed ...

A family of predictor-corrector exponential Numerov-type methods is developed for the numerical integration of the one-dimensional Schrr odinger equation. The formula considered contains certain free parameters which allow it to be tted automatically to exponential functions. The new methods are very simple and integrate more exponential functions than both the well known fourth order Numerov t...

A new composite Runge–Kutta (RK) method is proposed for semilinear partial differential equations such as Korteweg–de Vries, nonlinear Schrödinger, Kadomtsev– Petviashvili (KP), Kuramoto–Sivashinsky (KS), Cahn–Hilliard, and others having high-order derivatives in the linear term. The method uses Fourier collocation and the classical fourth-order RK method, except for the stiff linear modes, whi...

This paper presents an implementation of Multistructure PIDFLC. Modification has been made to structure of the proposed PIDFLC in order to make it acts as PDFLC, PIFLC or PIDFLC depending on two external signals. Two versions of this controller have been designed using VHDL language for FPGA implementation. A new package has been designed in VHDL code to implement trigonometric functions and fo...

The paper deals with an approximate analysis of non-linear, non-stationary vibrational systems with multiple degrees of freedom subjected to a pulse excitation. The nonstationary system parameters, which may include masses, restoring forces or damping, are considered to be slowly varying functions of time. A general procedure for obtaining the first order approximate solution is presented throu...

A wavelet method is proposed for solving a class of nonlinear timedependent partial differential equations. Following this method, the nonlinear equations are first transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations by using the modified wavelet Galerkin method recently developed by the authors. Then, the classical fourth-order explicit Runge-Kutta method is employed to solve the resu...

We introduce a class of fourth order symplectic algorithms that are ideal for doing long time integration of gravitational few-body problems. These algorithms have only positive time steps, but require computing the force gradient in additional to the force. We demonstrate the efficiency of these Forward Symplectic Integrators by solving the circularly restricted three-body problem in the space...

We now begin the definition and construction of Runge-Kutta methods. These one–step methods are essentially always stable, but designing Runge– Kutta methods which are consistent to high order can be difficult. This theory is presented in Sec. We have already seen several examples of Runge–Kutta methods: explicit and implicit Euler, the implicit midpoint rule, the explicit midpoint rule with Eu...
