A complex network is characterized by its degree distribution and clustering coefficient. Given a scale-free network, we propose a node-reconnection algorithm that can alter the clustering coefficient of the network while keeping the degree of each node unchanged. Results are shown when the algorithm is applied to reconnect the nodes of scale-free networks constructed using the Barabási-Albert ...

Gas adsorption by the spherical particles in gas–particle flows has been recently studied Yu et al. [“Direct simulation Monte Carlo of gas flows,” Phys. Fluids 34, 083302 (2022)]. However, gas-adsorption distribution on particle surface heretofore remained unknown. This paper addresses this knowledge gap introducing a numerical method to calculate for ellipsoidal flows. We split into internal f...
