The effect on raft foundation of a barrage due to varying stratum has been examined using finite element analysis. The raft foundation is completely resting on soil media and surrounded by soil and rock media. Eight noded brick elements have been used for three-dimensional modeling and meshing of the rock, soil, cut-off, pier, beam and abutment but raft foundation has been meshed using plate el...

In this paper, an effective numerical method is introduced for the treatment of nonlinear two-dimensional Volterra-Fredholm integro-differential equations. Here, we use the so-called two-dimensional block-pulse functions.First, the two-dimensional block-pulse operational matrix of integration and differentiation has been presented. Then, by using this matrices, the nonlinear two-dimensional Vol...

applying 2d algorithms for inverting the potential field data is more useful and efficient than their 3d counterparts, whenever the geologic situation permits. this is because the computation time is less and modeling the subsurface is easier. in this paper we present a 2d inversion algorithm for interpreting gravity data by employing a set of constraints including minimum distance, smoothness,...

in this study, the bernoulli polynomials are used to obtain an approximate solution of a class of nonlinear two-dimensional integral equations. to this aim, the operational matrices of integration and the product for bernoulli polynomials are derived and utilized to reduce the considered problem to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. some examples are presented to illustrate the efficien...

In this paper, an analytic solution is presented using differential transform method (DTM) for a class of wave equation. The emphasis is on the nonlinear two-dimensional wave equation. The procedures introduced in this paper are in recursive forms which can be used to obtain the closed form of the solutions, if they are required. The method is tested on various examples, and the results reveal ...

the permeability and tortuosity of pore-scale two and three-dimensional random porous media were calculated using the lattice boltzmann method (lbm). effects of geometrical parameters of medium on permeability and tortuosity were investigated as well. two major models of random porous media were reconstructed by computerized tomography method: randomly distributed rectangular obstacles in a uni...

In this work, we introduce a novel method for solving two-dimensional fuzzy Fredholm integral equations of the second kind (2D-FFIE-2). We use new representation of parametric form of fuzzy numbers and convert a two-dimensional fuzzy Fredholm integral equation to system of two-dimensional Fredholm integral equations of the second kind in crisp case. We can use Adomian decomposition method for n...

we introduce a rbfs mesheless method of lines that decomposes the interior and boundary centers to obtain the numerical solution of the time dependent pdes. then, the method is applied with an adaptive algorithm to obtain the numerical solution of one dimensional problem. we show that in the problems in which the solutions contain region with rapid variation, the adaptive rbfs methods are succe...
