TL;DR: A novel method is presented for the parallelization of electromagnetic pseudo-spectral solvers that requires only local FFTs and exchange of local guard cell data between neighboring regions, by taking advantage of the properties of DFTs, the linearity of Maxwell's equations and the finite speed of light.
TL;DR: In this paper, the non-uniform heat source/sink effect on the flow and heat transfer from an unsteady stretching sheet through a quiescent fluid medium extending to infinity is studied.
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical method for determining the flame speed and the structure of freely propagating, adiabatic flames is discussed. But the method is computationally faster than other methods, and it is potentially more accurate because it employs an adaptive gridding strategy.
Abstract: Abstract–We discuss a numerical method for determining the flame speed and the structure of freely propagating, adiabatic flames. The method uses a finite difference procedure in which the nonlinear difference equations are solved by a damped, modified, Newton method. This approach is in contrast to the traditional approach of solving a related transient problem until a steady-state solution i5 achieved. Our method is computationally faster than other methods, and it is potentially more accurate because it employs an adaptive gridding strategy. We demonstrate its use for the determination of hydrogen-air flame speeds.
TL;DR: In this article, the end corrections for open-ended cylindrical tubes are determined theoretically and experimentally for the zero and low frequencies, the wave equation is solved numerically by using a finite difference method.
TL;DR: A method of mathematically analyzing interdendritic microsegregation was established using finite difference method and taking into consideration the diffusion of the solute in the solid and liquid phases as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A method of mathematically analyzing interdendritic microsegregation was established using finite difference method and taking into consideration the diffusion of the solute in the solid and liquid phases. The cross-sectional shape of dendrites and the fact that the enrichment of the solute in the liquid phase at the solid-liquid interface restrains the advancement speed of the solid-liquid interface were considered. Directional solidification tests to examine interdendritic segregation were made to verify the mathematical analysis method established. The advantages of the new method over other methods were discussed. Then, spot-like segregations were mathematically analyzed applying the same method, and the results were in good agreement with the observations in continuously-cast slabs.
