We introduce two-dimensional space plus time (2D+1) structure and numerically investigate it using a developed multilayer simulation framework, for the first time. The new structure is consisting of crossed grating with time-varying permittivity which is inspired from1D+1. In this regard, we extend FourierModal Method (FMM) in a general approach for spacetime multilayer states. Our proposed framework is fast, robust, and powerful compared to various finite difference methods. We use the scattering matrix technique to develop the proposed spacetime simulation method for multilayer structures using a non-uniform stack of layers. The method is perfectly suitable to investigate the... 

A model of heat and mass transfer of two dimensional MHD micropolar fluid over a cone is constructed. Similarity transformation is adopted for the conversion of partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations have been linearized by employing the Newton's linearization technique and then new sets of equations are discretized using the finite difference method. The impact of non-dimensional parameters is further analyzed and the numerical results for profiles of velocity, temperature and concentration are expressed graphically and the results are discussed in detail. For the higher values of Dufour number, temperature field is enhanced graphically but show the opposite... 

The Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)–discrete element method (DEM) numerical simulation may be applied to predict the hydrodynamic behavior of dense particle–fluid flows. The main drawback of this simulation is the long computational time required owing to the large number of particles and the minute time-step required to maintain a stable solution. In this work, a new method to improve the efficiency and accuracy of CFD–DEM simulations is presented. The particle stiffness coefficient is used as a flexible parameter to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the model. The particle concentration distribution results are compared with experimental one’s to derive the optimum effective...

The absorber is an important component in absorption machines and its characteristics have significant effects on the overall efficiency of absorption machines. This article reports on the results of numerical studies on the characteristics of falling film LiBr-H2O solution on a completely wetted horizontal tube and the associated vapor absorption in the Reynolds number range of 5 < Re < 100. The boundary layer assumptions are used for the transport of mass, momentum and energy equations and the finite difference method is employed to solve the governing equations in the film flow. The heat and mass transfer coefficients are expressed in the forms of Reynolds number, Prandtl number and... 

Using the Martin-Siggia-Rose method, we study propagation of acoustic waves in strongly heterogeneous media which are characterized by a broad distribution of the elastic constants. Gaussian-white distributed elastic constants, as well as those with long-range correlations with nondecaying power-law correlation functions, are considered. The study is motivated in part by a recent discovery that the elastic moduli of rock at large length scales may be characterized by long-range power-law correlation functions. Depending on the disorder, the renormalization group (RG) flows exhibit a transition to localized regime in any dimension. We have numerically checked the RG results using the... 

In this paper a laminar flow of water on an ice layer subjected to a slip condition is considered numerically. The paper describes a parametric mathematical model to simulate the coupled heat and mass transfer events occurring in moving boundary problems associated with a quasi steady state steady flow process. The discretization technique of the elliptic governing differential equations of mass, momentum and energy is based on the control volume finite difference approach and enthalpy method, the results illustrate, the distribution of heat transfer coefficient, ice melting thickness, slip velocity at solid moving boundary and boundary layer thickness for some values of slip velocity... 

This paper gives details of the refinement and application of a two-dimensional horizontal model for rivers. An explicit finite-difference algorithm was used for solving the governing differential equations, which includes the conservation of mass and momentum to predict hydrodynamic parameters. The model includes different turbulence closure models - that is, constant eddy viscosity, Prandtl simple mixing length and Smagorinsky methods. An experimental programme was designed and carried out in a laboratory flume to measure the length of eddy produced at the entrance of the intake. Model predictions have been compared with experimental results for a lateral intake. The effect of different... 

The three-dimensional supersonic turbulent flows over wrap-around fin missiles have been computed using the Thin Layer Navier-Stokes (TLNS) equations to reduce the computational efforts compared to those of the Full Navier-Stokes (FNS) equations. In this research, the missile configuration is divided into multi regions to enable fluid flow simulation using Personal Computers (PC). It also makes it possible to use a different number of nodes and distribution of grids in each region to enhance the accuracy. The Thin Layer Navier-Stokes equations in the generalized coordinate system were solved using an efficient, implicit, finite-difference factored algorithm of the Beam and Warming. For the... 

Recent studies in information computation technology (ICT) are focusing on Next-generation networks, SDN (Software-defined networking), 5G, and 6G. Optimal working mode for device-to-device (D2D) communication is aimed at improving the quality of service with the frequency spectrum structure is of research areas in 5G. D2D communication working modes are selected to meet both the predefined system conditions and provide maximum throughput for the network. Due to the complexity of the direct solutions, we formulated the problem as an optimization problem and found the optimal working modes under different parameters of the system through extensive simulations. After determining the links'... 

Nonlinear ultrasound modeling is finding an increasing number of applications in both medical and industrial areas where due to high pressure amplitudes the effects of nonlinear propagation are no longer negligible. Taking nonlinear effects into account makes the ultrasound beam analysis more accurate in these applications. One of the most widely used nonlinear models for propagation of 3D diffractive sound beams in dissipative media is the KZK (Khokhlov, Kuznetsov, Zabolotskaya) parabolic nonlinear wave equation. Various numerical algorithms have been developed to solve the KZK equation. Generally, these algorithms fall into one of three main categories: frequency domain, time domain and...
