A Hybrid Large Eddy Simulation Algorithm Based on the Implicit Domain Decomposition

The resolution of small near-wall eddies encountered in high-Reynolds number flows using large eddy simulation (LES) requires very fine meshes that may be computationally prohibitive. As a result, the use of wall-modeled LES as an alternative is becoming more popular. In this paper, the near-wall domain decomposition (NDD) approach that was originally developed for Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations (RANSs) is extended to the hybrid RANS/LES zonal decomposition. The algorithm is implemented in two stages. First, the solution is computed everywhere with LES on a coarse grid using a new non-local slip boundary condition for the instantaneous velocity at the wall. The solution is then recomputed in the near-wall region with RANS. The slip boundary conditions used in the first stage guarantee that the composite solution is smooth at the inner/outer region interface. Another advantage of the model is that the turbulent viscosity in the inner region is computed based on the corresponding RANS velocity. This shows improvement over those hybrid models that have only one velocity field in the whole domain obtained from LES. The model is realized in the open source code OpenFOAM with different approximations of turbulent viscosity and is applied to the planar channel flow at frictional Reynolds numbers of Reτ=950, 2000, and 4200. Mean streamwise velocity and Reynolds stress intensities are predicted reasonably well in comparison to the solutions obtained with unresolved LES and available DNS benchmarks. No additional forcing at the interface is required, while the log–layer mismatch is essentially reduced in all cases.

Existence of solutions of nonlinear systems subject to arbitrary linear non-local boundary conditions

In this paper, we obtain an explicit expression for the Green’s function of a certain type of systems of differential equations subject to non-local linear boundary conditions. In such boundary conditions, the dependence on certain parameters is considered. The idea of the study is to transform the given system into another first-order differential linear system together with the two-point boundary value conditions. To obtain the explicit expression of the Green’s function of the considered linear system with non-local boundary conditions, it is assumed that the Green’s function of the homogeneous problem, that is, when all the parameters involved in the non-local boundary conditions take the value zero, exists and is unique. In such a case, the homogeneous problem has a unique solution that is characterized by the corresponding Green’s function g. The expression of the Green’s function of the given system is obtained as the sum of the function g and a part that depends on the parameters involved in the boundary conditions and the expression of function g. The novelty of our work is that in the system to be studied, the unknown functions do not appear separated neither in the equations nor in the boundary conditions. The existence of solutions of nonlinear systems with linear non-local boundary conditions is also studied. We illustrate the obtained results in this paper with examples.

Elastic drifted Brownian motions and non-local boundary conditions

We provide a deep connection between elastic drifted Brownian motions and inverses to tempered subordinators. Based on this connection, we establish a link between multiplicative functionals and dynamical boundary conditions given in terms of non-local equations in time. Indeed, we show that the multiplicative functional associated to the elastic Brownian motion with drift is equivalent to a functional associated with non-local boundary conditions of tempered type. By exploiting such connections we write some functionals of the drifted Brownian motion in terms of a simple (positive and non-decreasing) process, the inverse of a tempered subordinator. In our view, such a representation is useful in many applications and brings new light on dynamic boundary value problems.

NONLINEAR INVERSE BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR A SECOND ORDER PARABOLIC EQUATION WITH NONLOCAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

The paper studies the classical solvability of an inverse boundary value problem for a second order parabolic equation with nonlocal boundary conditions. For this purpose, first, the considered problem is reduced to an auxiliary equivalent problem in a certain sense. Then, using the Fourier method the auxiliary problem is presented as a system of integral equations. Further, by means of the contraction mappings principle the unique existence of the solution of the obtained system of integral equations is shown. At the end of investigation the existence and uniqueness theorem for the classical solution of the original inverse boundary value problem is proved based on the equivalence of these problems

On positive eigenfunctions of one nonlocal boundary problem

In this paper we present separate cases of Sturm–Liouville problem with nonlocal two-point boundary condition. The existence of positive eigenvalues and eigenfunctions is analysed. Obtained results we compare with results that are described in paper [1] and denote that in some cases they don’t coincide.

An adaptive partitioned reduced order model of peridynamics for efficient static fracture simulation

In this paper, an adaptive partitioning strategy and the proper orthogonal decomposition–Galerkin method are combined to formulate an adaptive partitioned reduced order model (APROM) for fast solution of peridynamic (PD) models involving fractures. A boundary layer separation approach is presented to tackle the inaccurate reproduction of nonlocal boundary conditions in the reduced order model (ROM). Cracks invariably make ROM results more sensitive to the snapshots, i.e. a set of high-fidelity solutions simulated by the full order model (FOM), and this challenge is overcome by an adaptive partitioning strategy. The internal computational domain is divided into two parts: the crack region is modeled by full PD model, and the remaining region is dimensionally reduced. The partitioned configuration is automatically updated with the damage evolution. Several numerical tests are executed to verify the performance of the APROM, which shows that the APROM is able to successfully simulate various fracture phenomena. A significant improvement in computational efficiency is found: the number of degrees of freedom in the full PD model is greatly reduced, leading to an approximately 10 times improvement in CPU time without loss of accuracy. This paper provides strong theoretical support for accelerating PD solutions, thereby promoting the practical application of PD theory in large-scale engineering projects.

Non-local fractional boundary value problems with applications to predator-prey models

We study a nonlinear fractional boundary value problem (BVP) subject to non-local multipoint boundary conditions. By introducing an appropriate parametrization technique we reduce the original problem to an equivalent one with already two-point restrictions. Using a notion of Chebyshev nodes and Lagrange polynomials we construct a successive iteration scheme, that converges to the exact solution of the non-local problem for particular values of the unknown parameters, which are calculated numerically.

Closed-Form Analytical Solutions for the Deflection of Elastic Beams in a Peridynamic Framework

Peridynamics is a continuum theory that operates with non-local deformation measures as well as long-range internal force/moment interactions. The resulting equations are of the integral type, in contrast to the classical theory, which deals with differential equations. The aim of this paper is to analyze peridynamic governing equations for elastic beams. To this end, the strain energy density is formulated as a function of the non-local curvature. By applying the Lagrange principle, the peridynamic equations of motion are derived. Examples of non-local boundary conditions, including simple support, clamped edge, roller clamped edge, and free edge, are presented by introducing the interaction domain. Novel closed-form analytical solutions to integral equations are presented for beams with various boundary conditions, including clamped—simply supported, clamped–clamped, simply supported–roller-clamped, and clamped–roller-clamped beams. Furthermore, different types of loadings, including uniformly distributed load, concentrated force, and concentrated moment, are considered. The results are validated by comparing the derived solutions against solutions to the classical Bernoulli–Euler beam theory. A very good agreement between the non-local and the classical theories is observed for the case of the small horizon sizes, which shows the capability of the derived equations of motion and proposed boundary conditions.

In this paper, we establish sufficient criteria for ensuring the existence of solutions and uniqueness for a class of nonlinear neutral Caputo fractional differential equations supplemented with infinite delay and nonlocal boundary conditions involving fractional derivatives. The theory of infinite delay and standard fixed point theorems are employed to obtain the existence results for the given problem. Examples will be constructed to illustrate the obtained results.

Positive Solutions for a System of Hadamard Fractional Boundary Value Problems on an Infinite Interval

Our investigation is devoted to examining the existence, uniqueness, and multiplicity of positive solutions for a system of Hadamard fractional differential equations. This system is defined on an infinite interval and is subject to coupled nonlocal boundary conditions. These boundary conditions encompass both Hadamard fractional derivatives and Riemann–Stieltjes integrals, and the nonlinearities within the system are non-negative functions that may not be bounded. To establish the main results, we rely on the utilization of mathematical theorems such as the Schauder fixed-point theorem, the Banach contraction mapping principle, and the Avery–Peterson fixed-point theorem.

Rigorous Derivation of the Oberbeck–Boussinesq Approximation Revealing Unexpected Term

We consider a general compressible viscous and heat conducting fluid confined between two parallel plates and heated from the bottom. The time evolution of the fluid is described by the Navier–Stokes–Fourier system considered in the regime of low Mach and Froude numbers suitably interrelated. Surprisingly and differently to the case of Neumann boundary conditions for the temperature, the asymptotic limit is identified as the Oberbeck–Boussinesq system supplemented with non-local boundary conditions for the temperature deviation.

Solutions of Fractional Differential Inclusions and Stationary Points of Intuitionistic Fuzzy-Set-Valued Maps

One of the tools for building new fixed-point results is the use of symmetry in the distance functions. The symmetric property of metrics is particularly useful in constructing contractive inequalities for analyzing different models of practical consequences. A lot of important invariant point results of crisp mappings have been improved by using the symmetry of metrics. However, more than a handful of fixed-point theorems in symmetric spaces are yet to be investigated in fuzzy versions. In accordance with the aforementioned orientation, the idea of Presic-type intuitionistic fuzzy stationary point results is introduced in this study within a space endowed with a symmetrical structure. The stability of intuitionistic fuzzy fixed-point problems and the associated new concepts are proposed herein to complement their corresponding concepts related to multi-valued and single-valued mappings. In the instance where the intuitionistic fuzzy-set-valued map is reduced to its crisp counterparts, our results complement and generalize a few well-known fixed-point theorems with symmetric structure, including the main results of Banach, Ciric, Presic, Rhoades, and some others in the comparable literature. A significant number of consequences of our results in the set-up of fuzzy-set- and crisp-set-valued as well as point-to-point-valued mappings are emphasized and discussed. One of our findings is utilized to assess situations from the perspective of an application for the existence of solutions to non-convex fractional differential inclusions involving Caputo fractional derivatives with nonlocal boundary conditions. Some nontrivial examples are constructed to support the assertions and usability of our main ideas.

The Homotopy Perturbation Method for Solving Nonlocal Initial-Boundary Value Problems for Parabolic and Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations

To obtain approximate-exact solutions to nonlocal initial-boundary value problems (IBVPs) of linear and nonlinear parabolic and hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) subject to initial and nonlocal boundary conditions of integral type, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is utilized in this study. The HPM is used to solve the specified nonlocal IBVPs, which are then transformed into local Dirichlet IBVPs. Some examples demonstrate how accurate and efficient the HPM.

Inverse Nodal Problem for a Conformable Fractional Diffusion Operator With Parameter-Dependent Nonlocal Boundary Condition

In this paper, we consider the inverse nodal problem for the conformable fractional diffusion operator with parameter-dependent Bitsadze–Samarskii type nonlocal boundary condition. We obtain the asymptotics for the eigenvalues, the eigenfunctions, and the zeros of the eigenfunctions (called nodal points or nodes) of the considered operator, and provide a constructive procedure for solving the inverse nodal problem, i.e., we reconstruct the potential functions p(x) and q(x) by using a dense subset of the nodal points.

Existence Results of Langevin Equations with Caputo–Hadamard Fractional Operator

In this manuscript, we deal with a nonlinear Langevin fractional differential equation that involves the Caputo–Hadamard and Caputo fractional operators, with nonperiodic and nonlocal integral boundary conditions. The results presented in this study establish the existence, uniqueness, and Hyers–Ulam (HU) stability of the solution to the proposed equation. We achieved our main result by using the Banach contraction mapping principle and Krasonoselskii’s fixed point theorem. Furthermore, we introduce an application to demonstrate the validity of the results of our findings.
