A BVP Solver that Controls Residual and Error

Issues 1-2 Volume 03

Date of Online Publication: 31/03/2006 Keywords: Ordinary differential equations, boundary value problems, collocation, residual, Authors: J. Kierzenka, L.F. Shampine Pages: 27-41 We describe the algorithms and implementation of the bvp5c program for solving boundary value problems (BVPs) for ordinary differential equations. A remarkable relationship between scaled residual and true error is established for the four-point […]

Prediction of the Flow Around a Short Wall-Mounted Finite Cylinder using LES and DES1

Issues 3-4 Volume 03

Keywords: circular cylinder, wall-mounted, LES, DES, imaging measurements Abstract: Numerical simulations of the turbulent separated flow around a wall-mounted finite cylinder were performed in order to assess the predictive accuracy of the methods for the unsteady flow field at high Reynolds number. While the results obtained from Large-Eddy Simulation show only minor diferences to experiments,

BDF Compound-Fast Multirate Transient Analysis with Adaptive Stepsize Control

Issues 3-4 Volume 03

Keywords: Backward Difference Formula; Circuit simulation; Differential-algebraic equations; Discretization error; Multirate; Numerical time integration; Partitioning; Transient analysis Abstract: Transient analysis is an important circuit simulation technique. The circuit model, which is a system of differential-algebraic equations, is solved for a given initial condition using numerical time integration techniques. Multirate methods are efficient if the dynamical

A Method of Lines Framework in Mathematica

Issues 1-2 Volume 03

Date of Online Publication: 31/03/2008 Keywords: MOL, Method of Lines Authors: R. Knapp Pages: 43-59 Mathematica’s NDSolve command includes a general solver for partial differential equations based on the method of lines. Starting from a symbolic expression for the PDE a symbolic general representation of the spatial discretization is constructed which is finalized once the

Corless, Azar Shakoori, D.A. Aruliah, Laureano Gonzalez-Vega Pages: 1-16 Continuous extensions are now routinely provided by many IVP solvers, for graphical output, error control, or event location. Recent developments

Modelling Environmental In uences on Wanderer Spiders in the Langhe Region (Piemonte { NW Italy)

Issues 3-4 Volume 03

Keywords: predator-prey model, equilibria, stochastic diferential equation, stochastic stability. Abstract: We develop a mathematical model for understanding the e ect of wanderer spiders as biological controllers of the insects infesting vineyards, thus accounting also for the role played by residual wood and green patches as spiders habitat in the otherwise homogeneuous landscape of the Langhe

Fundamental Solution Method for Periodic Plane Elasticity

Issues 3-4 Volume 03

Keywords: fundamental solution method, periodic plane elasticity Abstract: We present a fundamental solution method for elasticity problems of planes with one-dimensional periodic structure, to which it is difficult to apply the conventional fundamental solution method. We propose an approximate solution of the fundamental solution method which is modi ed so that it is suitable to
