AbstractFisher's equation, which describes a balance between linear diffusion and nonlinear reaction or multiplication, is studied numerically by a Petrov-Galerkin finite element method. The results show that any local initial disturbance can propagate with a constant limiting speed when time becomes sufficiently large. Both the limiting wave fronts and the limiting speed are determined by the system itself and are independent of the initial values. Comparing with other studies, the numerical scheme used in this paper is satisfactory with regard to its accuracy and stability. It has the advantage of being much more concise.

In the paper, a 2D numerical model is established to simulate the hydrodynamic forces on a submarine piggyback pipeline under regular wave action. The two-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with a κ-ω turbulence model closure are solved by using a three-step Taylor-Galerkin finite element method (FEM). A Computational Lagrangian-Eulerian Advection Remap Volume of Fluid (CLEAR-VOF) method is employed to simulate free surface problems, which is inherently compatible with unstructured meshes and finite element method. The numerical results of in-line force and lift (transverse) force on the piggyback pipeline for e/D = G/D = 0.25 and KC = 25.1 are compared with physical model test results, which are conducted in a marine environmental flume in the State Key Laboratory of Coastal and Offshore Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, China. It is indicated that the numerical results coincide with the experimental results and that the numerical model can be used to predict the hydrodynamic forces on the piggyback pipeline under wave action. Based on the numerical model, the surface pressure distribution and the motion of vortices around the piggyback pipeline for e/D = G/D = 0.25, KC = 25.1 are investigated, and a characteristic vortex pattern around the piggyback pipeline denoted “anti-phase-synchronized” pattern is recognized.

We present a numerical study on the influence of crystallographic texture on the earing behavior of a low carbon steel during cup drawing. The simulations are conducted by using the texture component crystal plasticity finite element method which accounts for the full elastic-plastic anisotropy of the material and for the explicit incorporation of texture including texture update. Several important texture components that typically occur in commercial steel sheets were selected for the study. By assigning different spherical scatter widths to them the resulting ear profiles were calculated under consideration of texture evolution. The study reveals that 8, 6, or 4 ears can evolve during cup drawing depending on the starting texture. An increasing number of ears reduces the absolute ear height. The effect of the orientation scatter width (texture sharpness) on the sharpness of the ear profiles was also studied. It was observed that an increase in the orientation scatter of certain texture components entails a drop in ear sharpness while for others the effect is opposite.
