The current study explores the use of an automated direct/iterative design method for the reduction of drag for transport con gurations, including con gurations with engine nacelles. The method requires the user to choose a proper target-pressure distribution and then develops a corresponding airfoil section. The method can be applied to two-dimensional airfoil sections or to three-dimensional ...

in this paper, a new spectral-iterative method is employed to give approximate solutions of fractional logistic differential equation. this approach is based on combination of two different methods, i.e. the iterative method cite{35} and the spectral method. the method reduces the differential equation to systems of linear algebraic equations and then the resulting systems are solved by a numer...

‎in this paper‎, ‎we propose two preconditioned aor iterative methods to solve systems of linear equations whose coefficient matrices are z-matrix‎. ‎these methods can be considered as improvements of two previously presented ones in the literature‎. ‎finally some numerical experiments are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed preconditioners‎.‎

Preconditioned iterative solution methods are compared with the direct Gaussian elimination method to solve dense linear systems Ax = b which originate from crack propagation problems, modeled and discretized by boundary element (BEM) techniques. Numerical experiments are presented and compared with the direct solution method available in a commercial BEM package. The experiments show that the ...

In this study, a hybrid method is proposed to investigate the nonlinear vibrations of pre- and post-buckled rectangular plates for the first time. This is an answer to an existing need to develope a fast and precise numerical model which can handle the nonlinear vibrations of buckled plates under different boundary conditions and plate shapes. The method uses the differential quadrature element...
