The hydrodynamic behavior of a submerged horizontal cylinder moored in waves was studied through numerical methods as a participant of the COER Hydrodynamic Modeling Competition. The potential theory with additional viscous damping has been used to model the problem. Three different simulation cases have been constructed to identify (i) the general behaviors of the cylinder subjected to the input wave, (ii) the effect of the second-order hydrodynamic forces, and (iii) the effect of exact wetted surface issue. Computational results were compared to the experiment, and a reasonable degree of accuracy has been confirmed.

Abstract Turbulent flows laden with large, deformable drops or bubbles are ubiquitous in nature and in a number of industrial processes. These flows are characterized by a physics acting at many different scales: from the macroscopic length scale of the problem down to the microscopic molecular scale of the interface. Naturally, the numerical resolution of all the scales of the problem, which span about eight to nine orders of magnitude, is not possible, with the consequence that numerical simulations of turbulent multiphase flows impose challenges and require methods able to capture the multi-scale nature of the flow. In this review, we start by describing the numerical methods commonly employed and discussing their advantages and limitations, and then we focus on the issues arising from the limited range of scales that can be possibly solved. Ultimately, the droplet size distribution, a key result of interest for turbulent multiphase flows, is used as a benchmark to compare the capabilities of the different methods and to discuss the main insights that can be drawn from these simulations. Based on this, we define a series of guidelines and best practices that we believe important in the simulation analysis and in the development of new numerical methods.

Cylindrical explosive loading has an important application in explosive working, researching on weapon damage, and explosive-driving load. This study uses experimental and numerical methods to study the response of long and thin tubes when subjected to cylindrical explosive loading. The flake-like charge and multipoint initiation technique were adopted to load cylindrical explosive waves. Experimental results showed that the method could produce uniform deformation in certain parts of the long tube, but partial spall injuries occurred after the explosion. The macroscopic and microscopic deformation of tubes were analyzed. Numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the detailed response of the tube subjected to a cylindrical explosive wave. The results indicate that the collision of explosive waves brought inconsistencies in pressure and velocity. The pressure and velocity in the collision region were significantly higher than those of other parts, which caused the collision region to be easily damaged.

In this paper, we have proposed the efficient numerical methods to solve a tumor-obesity model which involves two types of the fractional operators namely Caputo and Caputo-Fabrizio (CF). Stability and convergence of the proposed schemes using Caputo and CF fractional operators are analyzed. Numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the effect of low and high caloric diet on tumor dynamics of the generalized models. We perform the numerical simulations of the tumor-obesity model for different fractional order by varying immune response rate to compare the dynamics of the Caputo and CF fractional operators.

Unique Signature

Abstract We present an approach that is able to both rapidly assess the dynamical stability of multiple planet systems, and determine whether an exoplanet system would be capable of hosting a dynamically stable Earth-mass companion in its habitable zone (HZ). We conduct a suite of numerical simulations using a swarm of massless test particles (TPs) in the vicinity of the orbit of a massive planet, in order to develop a predictive tool which can be used to achieve these desired outcomes. In this work, we outline both the numerical methods we used to develop the tool, and demonstrate its use. We find that the TPs survive in systems either because they are unperturbed due to being so far removed from the massive planet, or due to being trapped in stable mean-motion resonant orbits with the massive planet. The resulting unexcited TP swarm produces a unique signature in (a, e) space that represents the stable regions within the system. We are able to scale and translate this stability signature, and combine several together in order to conservatively assess the dynamical stability of newly discovered multiple planet systems. We also assess the stability of a system’s HZ and determine whether an Earth-mass companion could remain on a stable orbit, without the need for exhaustive numerical simulations.

The Difference

The paper is concerned with material and microslip damping in a rotor. The horizontal rotor is carried by anisotropic bearings, which means that the shaft feels three different frequencies, the rotational frequency and the difference and the sum of the rotational and vibrational frequencies. When material damping is studied, these three frequencies lead to three different equivalent viscous damping constants and the dissipated energy can be solved analytically. The rotor slot wedges in a turbine generator are used as an example of microslip damping. In this case the damping is nonlinear and the results are obtained through numerical simulations. The results show that these two different internal damping sources give both similarities and dissimilarities. The sign change and different magnitude of the dissipated energy running sub- or supercritical are the same. However the dissipated energy for material damping is not affected by gravity which microslip damping is.

Oil Company

Currently, Petrobras (the Brazilian state oil company) performs numerical simulations of pipelaying operations employing commercial software, such as OffPipe [1]. However, such tools presents restrictions/limitations related to the user interface, model generation and analysis formulations. These limitations hinder its efficient use for analyses of installation procedures for the scenarios considered by Petrobras, using the BGL-1 barge (owned by Petrobras) or other vessels, considering for instance particular types of stingers depending on depth and pipeline, with different lengths and geometries adapted to certain laying conditions in S-Lay procedures. Therefore, the objective of this work is to present the development and application of a tailored, in-house non-commercial computational tool in which the modules follow Petrobras users’ specifications, in order to overcome the limitations for specific needs and particular scenarios in the simulation of several types of pipeline procedures. Such tool, called SITUA-PetroPipe, presents a friendly interface with the user, for instance allowing the complete customization of the configuration of laybarge and stinger rollers. It also includes novel analysis methods and formulations, including the ability of coupling the structural behavior of the pipe with the hydrodynamic behavior of the vessel motions under environmental conditions.

Abstract A new class of high-order accuracy numerical methods based on a semi-Lagrangian formulation for the BGK model of the Boltzmann equation has been recently proposed in [1]. In this paper semi-Lagrangian schemes for the BGK equation have been extended to treat boundary conditions, in particular the diffusive ones. Two different techniques are proposed, using or avoiding iterative procedures. Numerical simulations illustrate the accuracy properties of these approaches and the agreement with the results available in literature.

In this paper, we propose a methodology for estimating the execution time of simulations driven by multiscale numerical methods. The methodology explores the idiosyncrasies of multiscale simulators to reduce the uncertainty of predictions. We use the multiscale hybrid-mixed (MHM) finite element method to validate our methodology. We compare our proposed technique with prediction models automatically selected and calibrated by Auto-WEKA. We show that the models obtained with our technique are competitive when compared with the models coming from Auto-WEKA, being interpretable and with much less computational effort during the learning process.
