We have applied the nearly perfectly matched layer (N-PML) absorber to the viscoelastic wave equation based on the Kelvin-Voigt and Zener constitutive equations. In the first case, the stress-strain relation has the advantage of not requiring additional physical field (memory) variables, whereas the Zener model is more adapted to describe the behavior of rocks subject to wave propagation in the whole frequency range. In both cases, eight N-PML artificial memory variables are required in the absorbing strips. The modeling simulates 2D waves by using two different approaches to compute the spatial derivatives, generating different artifacts from the boundaries, namely, 16th-order finite differences, where reflections from the boundaries are expected, and the staggered Fourier pseudospectral method, where wraparound occurs. The time stepping in both cases is a staggered second-order finite-difference scheme. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the N-PML has a similar performance as in the lossless case. Comparisons with other approaches (S-PML and C-PML) are carried out for several models, which indicate the advantages and drawbacks of the N-PML absorber in the anelastic case.

This paper investigates the vibration control of a two-link flexible manipulator carried by a translational stage. The first and the second links are each driven by a stage motor and a joint motor. By treating the joint motor as a virtual spring, the two-link manipulator can be regarded as an integral flexible arm driven by the stage motor. A noncollocated controller is devised based on feedback from the deflection of the virtual spring, which can be measured by a shaft encoder. Stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed by examining the spatial derivatives of the modal functions. By including a bandpass filter in the feedback loop, residual vibrations can be attenuated without exciting high-frequency vibrations. The control method is simple to implement; its effectiveness is confirmed by simulation and experimental results.

We present a highly efficient lattice Boltzmann (LB) kinetic model for thermal liquid–vapor system. Three key components are as below: (i) a discrete velocity model (DVM) by Kataoka et al. [Phys. Rev. E69, 035701(R) (2004)]; (ii) a forcing term Ii aiming to describe the interfacial stress and recover the van der Waals (VDW) equation of state (EOS) by Gonnella et al. [Phys. Rev. E76, 036703 (2007)] and (iii) a Windowed Fast Fourier Transform (WFFT) scheme and its inverse by our group [Phys. Rev. E84, 046715 (2011)] for solving the spatial derivatives, together with a second-order Runge–Kutta (RK) finite difference scheme for solving the temporal derivative in the LB equation. The model is verified and validated by well-known benchmark tests. The results recovered from the present model are well consistent with previous ones [Phys. Rev. E84, 046715 (2011)] or theoretical analysis. The usage of less discrete velocities, high-order RK algorithm and WFFT scheme with 16th-order in precision makes the model more efficient by about 10 times and more accurate than the original one.

The ponderomotive force generated by random Alfvén waves in a collisionless plasma is evaluated taking into account mean magnetic and velocity shear and is expressed as a series involving spatial derivatives of mean magnetic and velocity fields whose coefficients are associated with the helicity spectrum function of random velocity field. The effect of microscale random Alfvén waves through ponderomotive and mean electromotive forces generated by them on the propagation of large-scale Alfvén waves is also investigated.

Abstract. When studying magnetospheric convection, it is often necessary to map the steady-state electric field, measured at some point on a magnetic field line, to a magnetically conjugate point in the other hemisphere, or the equatorial plane, or at the position of a satellite. Such mapping is relatively easy in a dipole field although the appropriate formulae are not easily accessible. They are derived and reviewed here with some examples. It is not possible to derive such formulae in more realistic geomagnetic field models. A new method is described in this paper for accurate mapping of electric fields along field lines, which can be used for any field model in which the magnetic field and its spatial derivatives can be computed. From the spatial derivatives of the magnetic field three first order differential equations are derived for the components of the normalized element of separation of two closely spaced field lines. These can be integrated along with the magnetic field tracing equations and Faraday's law used to obtain the electric field as a function of distance measured along the magnetic field line. The method is tested in a simple model consisting of a dipole field plus a magnetotail model. The method is shown to be accurate, convenient, and suitable for use with more realistic geomagnetic field models.

We give fourth-order accurate implicit methods for the computation of the first-order spatial derivatives and second-order mixed derivatives involving the time derivative of the solution of first type boundary value problem of two dimensional heat equation. The methods are constructed based on two stages: At the first stage of the methods, the solution and its derivative with respect to time variable are approximated by using the implicit scheme in Buranay and Arshad in 2020. Therefore, Oh4+τ of convergence on constructed hexagonal grids is obtained that the step sizes in the space variables x1, x2 and in time variable are indicated by h, 32h and τ, respectively. Special difference boundary value problems on hexagonal grids are constructed at the second stages to approximate the first order spatial derivatives and the second order mixed derivatives of the solution. Further, Oh4+τ order of uniform convergence of these schemes are shown for r=ωτh2≥116,ω>0. Additionally, the methods are applied on two sample problems.

The standard finite difference scheme (forward difference approximation for time derivative and central difference approximations for spatial derivatives) for fourth-order nonlinear diffusion filter allows very small time-step size to obtain stable results. The alternating directional implicit (ADI) splitting scheme such as Douglas method is highly stable but compromises accuracy for a relatively larger time-step size. In this paper, we develop [Formula: see text] stencils for the approximation of second-order spatial derivatives based on the finite pointset method. We then make use of these stencils for approximating the fourth-order partial differential equation. We show that the proposed scheme allows relatively bigger time-step size than the standard finite difference scheme, without compromising on the quality of the filtered image. Further, we demonstrate through numerical simulations that the proposed scheme is more efficient, in obtaining quality filtered image, than an ADI splitting scheme.
