Our method couples the quasi-conservative form with the reconstruction of conservative variables in a characteristic manner. The source term and numerical fluxes are carefully designed to maintain the pressure and velocity equilibrium for the interface-only problem and preserve the equilibrium of physical parameters in a single-component fluid. These ingredients enable our scheme to achieve both high-order accuracy in the smooth region and the high resolution in the discontinuity region of the solution. Extensive numerical tests are performed to verify the high resolution and accuracy of the scheme.展开更多

DGFEM uses unstructured grid discretization in the space domain and it is explicit in the time domain. Consequently it is a best mixture of FEM and finite volume method （FVM）. RK-DGFEM can obtain local high-order accuracy by using high-order polynomial basis. Numerical experiments of transverse magnetic （TM） wave propagation in a 2-D resonator are performed. A high-order Lagrange polynomial basis is adopted. Numerical results agree well with analytical solution. And different order Lagrange interpolation polynomial basis impacts on simulation result accuracy are discussed. Computational results indicate that the accuracy is evidently improved when the order of interpolation basis is increased. Finally, L^2 errors of different order polynomial basis in RK-DGFEM are presented. Computational results show that L^2 error declines exponentially as the order of basis increases.展开更多

In the paper, a partition method is developed to solve the stiffness problem with a staggered high-order finite-difference. The method splits the Biot equations into two systems. One is stiff, and solved analytically, the other is nonstiff, and solved numerically by using a high-order staggered-grid finite-difference scheme. The time step is determined by the staggered finite-difference algorithm in solving the nonstiff equations, thus a coarse time step may be employed. Therefore, the computation efficiency and computational stability are improved greatly. Also a perfect by matched layer technology is used in the split method as absorbing boundary conditions. The numerical results are compared with the analytical results and those obtained from the conventional staggered-grid finite-difference method in a homogeneous model, respectively. They are in good agreement with each other. Finally, a slightly more complex model is investigated and compared with related equivalent model to illustrate the good performance of the staggered-grid finite-difference scheme in the partition method.展开更多

However, the computation cost generally increases linearly with increased order of accuracy. Upon examination of the finite-difference formulas for the first-order and second-order derivatives, and the staggered finite-difference formulas for the first-order derivative, we examine the variation of finite-difference coefficients with accuracy order and note that there exist some very small coefficients. With the order increasing, the number of these small coefficients increases, however, the values decrease sharply. An error analysis demonstrates that omitting these small coefficients not only maintain approximately the same level of accuracy of finite difference but also reduce computational cost significantly. Moreover, it is easier to truncate for the high-order finite-difference formulas than for the pseudospectral for- mulas. Thus this study proposes a truncated high-order finite-difference method, and then demonstrates the efficiency and applicability of the method with some numerical examples.展开更多

The highorder variational reconstruction technique in terms of compact stencil is improved to reduce local condition numbers. To further improve the efficiency of computation, the adaptive mesh refinement technique is implemented in the framework of high-order finite volume methods. Mesh refinement and coarsening criteria are chosen to be the indicators for certain flow structures. One important challenge of the adaptive mesh refinement technique on unstructured grids is the dynamic load balancing in parallel computation. To solve this problem, the open-source library p4 est based on the forest of octrees is adopted. Several two-and three-dimensional test cases are computed to verify the accuracy and robustness of the proposed numerical schemes.展开更多

However, it is sometimes difficult to achieve this, especially when the velocity field is complex. A useful approach in multi-component analysis and modeling is to directly solve the elastic wave equations for the pure P- or S-wavefields, referred as the separate elastic wave equa- tions. In this study, we compare two kinds of such wave equations： the first-order （velocity-stress） and the second- order （displacement-stress） separate elastic wave equa- tions, with the first-order （velocity-stress） and the second- order （displacement-stress） full （or mixed） elastic wave equations using a high-order staggered grid finite-differ- ence method. Comparisons are given of wavefield snap- shots, common-source gather seismic sections, and individual synthetic seismogram. The simulation tests show that equivalent results can be obtained, regardless of whether the first-order or second-order separate elastic wave equations are used for obtaining the pure P- or S-wavefield. The stacked pure P- and S-wavefields are equal to the mixed wave fields calculated using the corre- sponding first-order or second-order full elastic wave equations. These mixed equations are computationallyslightly less expensive than solving the separate equations. The attraction of the separate equations is that they achieve separated P- and S-wavefields which can be used to test the efficacy of wave decomposition procedures in multi-com- ponent processing. The second-order separate elastic wave equations are a good choice because they offer information on the pure P-wave or S-wave displacements.展开更多

文摘In modelling elastic wave propagation in a porous medium, when the ratio between the fluid viscosity and the medium permeability is comparatively large, the stiffness problem of Blot＇s poroelastic equations will be encountered. In the paper, a partition method is developed to solve the stiffness problem with a staggered high-order finite-difference. The method splits the Biot equations into two systems. One is stiff, and solved analytically, the other is nonstiff, and solved numerically by using a high-order staggered-grid finite-difference scheme. The time step is determined by the staggered finite-difference algorithm in solving the nonstiff equations, thus a coarse time step may be employed. Therefore, the computation efficiency and computational stability are improved greatly. Also a perfect by matched layer technology is used in the split method as absorbing boundary conditions. The numerical results are compared with the analytical results and those obtained from the conventional staggered-grid finite-difference method in a homogeneous model, respectively. They are in good agreement with each other. Finally, a slightly more complex model is investigated and compared with related equivalent model to illustrate the good performance of the staggered-grid finite-difference scheme in the partition method.

文摘Finite-difference methods with high-order accuracy have been utilized to improve the precision of numerical solution for partial differential equations. However, the computation cost generally increases linearly with increased order of accuracy. Upon examination of the finite-difference formulas for the first-order and second-order derivatives, and the staggered finite-difference formulas for the first-order derivative, we examine the variation of finite-difference coefficients with accuracy order and note that there exist some very small coefficients. With the order increasing, the number of these small coefficients increases, however, the values decrease sharply. An error analysis demonstrates that omitting these small coefficients not only maintain approximately the same level of accuracy of finite difference but also reduce computational cost significantly. Moreover, it is easier to truncate for the high-order finite-difference formulas than for the pseudospectral for- mulas. Thus this study proposes a truncated high-order finite-difference method, and then demonstrates the efficiency and applicability of the method with some numerical examples.

文摘In this paper,we apply high-order finite difference(FD)schemes for multispecies and multireaction detonations(MMD).In MMD,the density and pressure are positive and the mass fraction of the ith species in the chemical reaction,say zi,is between 0 and 1,withΣz_(i)=1.Due to the lack of maximum-principle,most of the previous bound-preserving technique cannot be applied directly.To preserve those bounds,we will use the positivity-preserving technique to all the zi'is and enforceΣz_(i)=1 by constructing conservative schemes,thanks to conservative time integrations and consistent numerical fluxes in the system.Moreover,detonation is an extreme singular mode of flame propagation in premixed gas,and the model contains a significant stiff source.It is well known that for hyperbolic equations with stiff source,the transition points in the numerical approximations near the shocks may trigger spurious shock speed,leading to wrong shock position.Intuitively,the high-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory(WENO)scheme,which can suppress oscillations near the discontinuities,would be a good choice for spatial discretization.However,with the nonlinear weights,the numerical fluxes are no longer“consistent”,leading to nonconservative numerical schemes and the bound-preserving technique does not work.Numerical experiments demonstrate that,without further numerical techniques such as subcell resolutions,the conservative FD method with linear weights can yield better numerical approximations than the nonconservative WENO scheme.
文摘In modern ZnO varistors,traditional aging mechanisms based on increased power consumption are no longer relevant due to reduced power consumption during DC aging.Prolonged exposure to both AC and DC voltages results in increased leakage current,decreased breakdown voltage,and lower nonlinearity,ultimately compromising their protective performance.To investigate the evolution in electrical properties during DC aging,this work developed a finite element model based on Voronoi networks and conducted accelerated aging tests on commercial varistors.Throughout the aging process,current-voltage characteristics and Schottky barrier parameters were measured and analyzed.The results indicate that when subjected to constant voltage,current flows through regions with larger grain sizes,forming discharge channels.As aging progresses,the current focus increases on these channels,leading to a decline in the varistor’s overall performance.Furthermore,analysis of the Schottky barrier parameters shows that the changes in electrical performance during aging are non-monotonic.These findings offer theoretical support for understanding the aging mechanisms and condition assessment of modern stable ZnO varistors.

文摘To enhance the computational efficiency of spatio-temporally discretized phase-field models,we present a high-speed solver specifically designed for the Poisson equations,a component frequently used in the numerical computation of such models.This efficient solver employs algorithms based on discrete cosine transformations(DCT)or discrete sine transformations(DST)and is not restricted by any spatio-temporal schemes.Our proposed methodology is appropriate for a variety of phase-field models and is especially efficient when combined with flow field systems.Meanwhile,this study has conducted an extensive numerical comparison and found that employing DCT and DST techniques not only yields results comparable to those obtained via the Multigrid(MG)method,a conventional approach used in the resolution of the Poisson equations,but also enhances computational efficiency by over 90%.

文摘Accurately simulating water flow movement in vadose zone is crucial for effective water resources assessment.Richards'equation,which describes the movement of water flow in the vadose zone,is highly nonlinear and challenging to solve.Existing numerical methods often face issues such as numerical dispersion,oscillation,and mass non-conservation when spatial and temporal discretization conditions are not appropriately configured.To address these problems and achieve accurate and stable numerical solutions,a finite analytic method based on water content-based Richards'equation(FAM-W)is proposed.The performance of the FAM-W is compared with analytical solutions,Finite Difference Method(FDM),and Finite Analytic Method based on the pressure Head-based Richards'equation(FAM-H).Compared to analytical solution and other numerical methods(FDM and FAM-H),FAM-W demonstrates superior accuracy and efficiency in controlling mass balance errors,regardless of spatial step sizes.This study introduces a novel approach for modelling water flow in the vadose zone,offering significant benefits for water resources management.

文摘A modified inner-element edge-based smoothed finite element method(IES-FEM)is developed and integrated with ABAQUS using a user-defined element(UEL)in this study.Initially,the smoothing domain discretization of IES-FEM is described and compared with ES-FEM.A practical modification of IES-FEM is then introduced that used the technique employed by ES-FEM for the nodal strain calculation.The differences in the strain computation among ES-FEM,IES-FEM,and FEM are then discussed.The modified IES-FEM exhibited superior performance in displacement and a slight advantage in stress compared to FEM using the same mesh according to the results obtained from both the regular and irregular elements.The robustness of the IES-FEM to severely deformed meshes was also verified.

文摘A method combining finite difference method(FDM)and k-means clustering algorithm which can determine the threshold of rock bridge generation is proposed.Jointed slope models with different joint coalescence coefficients(k)are constructed based on FDM.The rock bridge area was divided through k-means algorithm and the optimal number of clusters was determined by sum of squared errors(SSE)and elbow method.The influence of maximum principal stress and stress change rate as clustering indexes on the clustering results of rock bridges was compared by using Euclidean distance.The results show that using stress change rate as clustering index is more effective.When the joint coalescence coefficient is less than 0.6,there is no significant stress concentration in the middle area of adjacent joints,that is,no generation of rock bridge.In addition,the range of rock bridge is affected by the coalescence coefficient(k),the relative position of joints and the parameters of weak interlayer.

文摘This study presents a novel methodology to obtain an approximate analytical solution for an isotropic homo-geneous elastic medium with displacement and traction boundary conditions.The solution is derived through solving a specific numerical problem under the scope of the linear finite element method(LFEM),so the method is termed computational method for analytical solutions with finite elements(CMAS-FE).The primary objective of the CMAS-FE is to construct analytical expressions for displacements and reaction forces at nodes,as well as for strains and stresses at elemental quadrature points,all of which are formulated as infinite series solutions of various orders of Poisson’s ratios.Like the conventional LFEM,the CMAS-FE forms global sparse linear equations,but the Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio remain variables(or symbols).By employing a direct inverse method to solve these symbolic linear systems,an analytical expression of the displacement field can be constructed.The CMAS-FE is validated via patch and bending tests,which demonstrate convergence with mesh and term refine-ment.Furthermore,the CMAS-FE is applied to obtain the bending stiffness of a beam structure and to estimate an approximate stress intensity factor for a straight crack within a square-shaped plate.

文摘We propose a novel workflow for fast forward modeling of well logs in axially symmetric 2D models of the nearwellbore environment.The approach integrates the finite element method with deep residual neural networks to achieve exceptional computational efficiency and accuracy.The workflow is demonstrated through the modeling of wireline electromagnetic propagation resistivity logs,where the measured responses exhibit a highly nonlinear relationship with formation properties.The motivation for this research is the need for advanced modeling al-gorithms that are fast enough for use in modern quantitative interpretation tools,where thousands of simulations may be required in iterative inversion processes.The proposed algorithm achieves a remarkable enhancement in performance,being up to 3000 times faster than the finite element method alone when utilizing a GPU.While still ensuring high accuracy,this makes it well-suited for practical applications when reliable payzone assessment is needed in complex environmental scenarios.Furthermore,the algorithm’s efficiency positions it as a promising tool for stochastic Bayesian inversion,facilitating reliable uncertainty quantification in subsurface property estimation.

文摘Magneto-electro-elastic(MEE)materials are widely utilized across various fields due to their multi-field coupling effects.Consequently,investigating the coupling behavior of MEE composite materials is of significant importance.The traditional finite element method(FEM)remains one of the primary approaches for addressing such issues.However,the application of FEM typically necessitates the use of a fine finite element mesh to accurately capture the heterogeneous properties of the materials and meet the required computational precision,which inevitably leads to a reduction in computational efficiency.To enhance the computational accuracy and efficiency of the FEM for heterogeneous multi-field coupling problems,this study presents the coupling magneto-electro-elastic multiscale finite element method(CM-MsFEM)for heterogeneous MEE structures.Unlike the conventional multiscale FEM(MsFEM),the proposed algorithm simultaneously constructs displacement,electric,and magnetic potential multiscale basis functions to address the heterogeneity of the corresponding parameters.The macroscale formulation of CM-MsFEM was derived,and the macroscale/microscale responses of the problems were obtained through up/downscaling calculations.Evaluation using numerical examples analyzing the transient behavior of heterogeneous MEE structures demonstrated that the proposed method outperforms traditional FEM in terms of both accuracy and computational efficiency,making it an appropriate choice for numerically modeling the dynamics of heterogeneous MEE structures.

文摘Sudden and unforeseen seismic failures of coal mine overburden(OB)dump slopes interrupt mining operations,cause loss of lives and delay the production of coal.Consideration of the spatial heterogeneity of OB dump materials is imperative for an adequate evaluation of the seismic stability of OB dump slopes.In this study,pseudo-static seismic stability analyses are carried out for an OB dump slope by considering the material parameters obtained from an insitu field investigation.Spatial heterogeneity is simulated through use of the random finite element method(RFEM)and the random limit equilibrium method(RLEM)and a comparative study is presented.Combinations of horizontal and vertical spatial correlation lengths were considered for simulating isotropic and anisotropic random fields within the OB dump slope.Seismic performances of the slope have been reported through the probability of failure and reliability index.It was observed that the RLEM approach overestimates failure probability(P_(f))by considering seismic stability with spatial heterogeneity.The P_(f)was observed to increase with an increase in the coefficient of variation of friction angle of the dump materials.Further,it was inferred that the RLEM approach may not be adequately applicable for assessing the seismic stability of an OB dump slope for a horizontal seismic coefficient that is more than or equal to 0.1.
