Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of fluid flow models in recent years has provided powerful tools for researchers to obtain and visualize simulation results using computational fluid dynamics. One of the main advantages of such an approach is finding the details of the actual flow process which are difficult to measure in an experiment.

This Special Issue focuses on numerical simulation and mathematical model research with an emphasis on recent advancements and applications in many industrial/academic applications. We are interested in papers addressing topics ranging from the novel application of existing mathematical tools in fluid dynamics to the development of novel numerical schemes to solve existing problems with the involvement of heat or mass transfer. This includes but is not limited to the following topics: (a) the use of standard numerical tools (e.g., finite difference, finite volume, finite element, meshless methods); (b) mass and energy conservation using new numerical methodologies, including their validation with benchmarking cases; (c) high-performance computing, including new parallel computing algorithms; (d) extendibility to dealing with more multiphysics phenomena such as magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), electrohydrodynamics (EHD), non-Newtonian flows, phase changes, nano-fluids, etc.; (e) the extension of the aforementioned methodologies to three-dimensional modeling and massively parallel computing in order to handle real-life problems; (f) mathematical modeling of multiphysics phenomena. Research articles, review papers, and short communications are also invited.

This paper explores two sample-based methods for analysing multistable systems: basin stability and basin entropy. Both methods rely on many numerical integration trials conducted with diverse initial conditions. The collected data is categorised and used to compute metrics that characterise solution stability, phase space structure, and system dynamics predictability. Basin stability assesses the overall likelihood of reaching specific solutions, while the basin entropy measure aims to capture the structure of attraction basins and the complexity of their boundaries. Although these two metrics complement each other effectively, their original procedures for computation differ significantly. This paper introduces a universal approach and algorithm for calculating basin stability and entropy measures. The suitability of these procedures is demonstrated through the analysis of two non-linear systems. Full article

In this study, the Kevin–Voigt viscoelastic constitutive relationship is used to investigate the vibration characteristics and stability of a functionally graded viscoelastic(FGV) fluid-conveying pipe with initial geometric defects under thermal–magnetic coupling fields. First, the nonlinear dimensionless differential equations of motion are derived by applying Timoshenko beam theory. Second, by solving the equilibrium position of the system, the nonlinear term in the differential equations of motion is approximated as the sum of the longitudinal displacement at the current time and longitudinal displacement relative to the position, and the equations are linearized. Third, these equations are discretized using the Galerkin method and are numerically solved under simply supported conditions. Finally, the effects of dimensionless temperature field parameters, dimensionless magnetic field parameters, thermal–magnetic coupling, initial geometric defect types, and the power-law exponent on the complex frequency of the pipe are examined. Results show that increasing the magnetic field intensity enhances the critical velocity of first-order mode instability, whereas a heightened temperature variation reduces the critical velocity of first-order diverge instability. Under thermal–magnetic fields, when the magnetic field intensity and temperature difference are simultaneously increased, their effects on the complex frequency can partially offset each other. Increasing the initial geometric defect amplitude increases the imaginary parts of the complex frequencies; however, for different types of initial geometric defect tubes, it exhibits the most distinct influence only on a certain order.

The application of high-energy ball milling in the field of advanced materials processing, such as mechanochemical alloying and ammonia synthesis, has been gaining increasing attention beyond its traditional use in material crushing. It is important to recognize the role of thermodynamics in high-energy processes, including heat generation from collisions, as well as ongoing investigations into grinding ball behavior. This study aims to develop a mathematical model for the numerical analysis of a spherical ball in a shaker mill, taking into account its dynamics, contact mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. The complexity of the problem for mathematical modeling is reduced by limiting the motion to one-dimensional translation and representing the vibration of the vial wall in a shaker mill as rigid boundaries that move in a linear fashion. A nonlinear viscoelastic contact model is employed to construct a heat generation model. An equation of internal energy evolution is derived that incorporates a velocity-dependent heat convection model. In coupled field modeling, equations of motion for high-energy impact phenomena are derived from energy-based Hamiltonian mechanics rather than vector-based Newtonian mechanics. The numerical integration of the governing equations is performed at the system level to analyze the general heating characteristics during collisions and the effect of various operational parameters, such as the oscillation frequency and amplitude of the vial. The results of the numerical analysis provide essential performance metrics, including steady-state temperature and time constant for the characteristics of temperature evolution for a high-energy shaker milling process with a computation accuracy of 0.1%. The novelty of this modeling study is that it is the first to obtain such a high accuracy numerical solution for the temperature evolution associated with a shaker mill process. Full article

This article deals with a non-classical model, namely a thermoelastic laminated beam along with microtemperature effects, nonlinear delay, and nonlinear structural damping, where the last two terms both affect the equation which depicts the dynamics of slip. With the help of convenient conditions in both weight delay and wave speeds, we demonstrate explicit and general energy decay rates of the solution. To attain our interests, we highlight useful properties regarding convex functions and apply a specific approach known as the multiplier technique, which enables us to prove the stability results. Our results here aim to show the impact of different types of damping by taking into account the interaction between them, which extends recent publications in the literature. Full article
