In the conventional approach for fluid-structure interaction problems, the fluid and solid components are treated separately and information is exchanged across their interface. According to the conventional terminology, the current numerical methods can be grouped in two major categories: Partitioned methods and monolithic methods. Both methods use two separate sets of equations for fluid and solid. A unified solution method has been presented [1], which is different from these methods. The new method treats both fluid and solid as a single continuum, thus the whole computational domain is treated as one entity discretised on a single grid. Its behavior is described by a single set of equations, which are solved fully implicitly. In this paper, 2 time marching and one spatial discretisation scheme, widely used for fluids’ equations, are applied for the solution of the equations for solids. Using linear stability analysis, the accuracy and dissipation characteristics of the resulting difference equations are examined. The aforementioned schemes are applied to a transient structural problem (beam bending) and the results compare favorably with available analytic solutions and are consistent with the conclusions of the stability analysis. A parametric investigation using different meshes, time steps and beam sizes is also presented. For all cases examined the numerical solution was stable and robust and proved to be suitable for the next stage of application to full fluid-structure interaction problems.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of turbulence on the stability characteristics of finite hydrodynamic journal bearing lubricated with micropolar fluid. Design/methodology/approach The non-dimensional transient Reynolds equation has been solved to obtain the non-dimensional pressure field which in turn used to obtain the load carrying capacity of the bearing. The second-order equations of motion applicable for journal bearing system have been solved using fourth-order Runge–Kutta method to obtain the stability characteristics. Findings It has been observed that turbulence has adverse effect on stability and the whirl ratio at laminar flow condition has the lowest value. Practical implications The paper provides the stability characteristics of the finite journal bearing lubricated with micropolar fluid operating in turbulent regime which is very common in practical applications. Originality/value Non-linear stability analysis of micropolar fluid lubricated journal bearing operating in turbulent regime has not been reported in literatures so far. This paper is an effort to address the problem of non-linear stability of journal bearings under micropolar lubrication with turbulent effect. The results obtained provide useful information for designing the journal bearing system for high speed applications.

In this article, we propose the integral and differential operators within the kernel of the Y function for the first time. We study the properties of the J and Y functions. We also present the some new applications of the heat transfer and present the new representation for the solution of the heat equation in the 1-D case.


The combined effect of various parameters of gravity modulation on the onset of ferroconvection is studied for both linear and non-linear stability. The effect of various parameters of ferroconvection is studied for linear stability analysis. The resulting seven-mode generalized Lorenz model obtained in non-linear stability analysis is solved using Runge -Kutta-Felberg 45 method to analyze the heat transfer. Consequently the individual effect of gravity modulation on heat transport has been investigated. Further, the effect of physical parameters on heat transport has been analyzed and depicted graphically. The low-frequency gravity modulation is observed to get an effective influence on the stability of the system. Therefore ferro convection can be advanced or delayed by controlling different governing parameters. It shows that the influence of gravity modulation stabilizes system.
