The stability characteristics are calculated for various Stokes numbers and particle concentrations. The results confirm the author＇s early calculations, which also shows that the numerical program is reliable. It is further shown that there is a critical value for the effect of Stokes number, which is about 2. The most damped mode occurs when Stokes number is of order of 10 for different particle concentrations and depends weakly on the wave number. The difference in the eigenfunctions and its derivatives between the particle-laden flow and the clean gas flow is insignificant for fine particles, while the difference for coarse particles is significant.展开更多

This multi-domain spectral immersed interlace method（IIM） divides the whole computation domain into the smooth and discontinuous parts. Fewer points on the smooth domains are used via taking advantage of the high accuracy property of the spectral method, but more points on the discontinuous domains are employed to enhance the resolution of the calculation.

The present reached, in spite of the enlarged computational discontinuous problems are tested to verify the present method. The results show reduce the error of the spectral IIM, especially when more collocation points are method is t：avorable for the reason that the same level of the accuracy can be domain.展开更多

The symmetries of the governing partial differential equations are de- termined by the two-parameter group method. One of the resulting systems of reduced nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by the Chebyshev spec- tral method. The effects of various parameters on the velocity, the angular velocity, and the temperature profiles as well as the skin-friction coefficient, the wall couple stress co- efficient, and the Nusselt number are studied.展开更多

The flow is caused by the non-linear stretching of a sheet. Thermal conductivity of the fluid is assumed to vary linearly with temperature. The obtaining PDEs are transformed into non-linear system of ODEs using suitable boundary conditions for various physical parameters. We use the Chebyshev spectral method to solve numerically the resulting system of ODEs. We present the effects of more parameters in the proposed model, such as the magnetic parameter, the wall thickness parameter, the radiation parameter, the thermal conductivity parameter and the Prandtl number on the flow and temperature profiles are presented, moreover, the local skin-friction and Nusselt numbers. A comparison of obtained numerical results is made with previously published results in some special cases, and excellent agreement is noted. The obtained numerical results confirm that the introduced technique is powerful mathematical tool and it can be implemented to a wide class of non-linear systems appearing in more branches in science and engineering.展开更多

The new approach refers to a “strong version” against the “weak version” of the subspace spectral method based on the variational principle or Galerkin’s weighting scheme. We incorporate local nonlinear transformations and global spline interpolations in a curved coordinate system and make the discrete grid exactly matches geometry of the model so that it is achieved to convert the global domain into subdomains and apply Chebyshev points to locally sampling physical quantities and globally computing the spatial derivatives. This new approach not only remains exponential convergence of the standard spectral method in subdomains, but also yields a sparse assembled matrix when applied for the global domain simulations. We conducted 2D and 3D synthetic experiments and compared accuracies of the numerical differentiations with traditional finite difference approaches. The results show that as the points of differentiation vector are larger than five, the subdomain Chebyshev spectral method significantly improve the accuracies of the finite difference approaches.展开更多

The fluid viscosity and the thermal conductivity are assumed to be the functions of temperature. The equations governing the flow are solved numerically by the Chebyshev spectral method for some representative value of various parameters. In comparison with the previously published work, the excellent agreement is shown. The effects of various parameters on the velocity, the microrotation velocity, and the temperature profiles, as well as the skin-friction coefficient and the Nusselt number, are plotted and discussed.展开更多
