The current work deals with numerical simulation of optical trap systems at time scales varying from very small to very large. This analysis is important to understand the effects of different forces acting on the optically trapped particle. The significance of inertia forces are also evaluated at these time scales. A novel method of computing diffusion coefficient from the simulated values is proposed. It has been shown that the computed values of the diffusion coefficient are an exact match to the theoretical results.

When being constructed, complex dynamical networks can lose stability in the sense of Lyapunov (i. s. L.) due to positive feedback. Thus, there is much important worthiness in the theory and applications of complex dynamical networks to study the stability. In this paper, according to dissipative system criteria, we give the stability condition in general complex dynamical networks, especially, in NW small-world and BA scale-free networks. The results of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that the stability i. s. L. depends on the maximal connectivity of the network. Finally, we show a numerical example to verify our theoretical results.

Dispersion of fluid particles in non-homogeneous turbulence was studied for fully developed flow in a channel. A point source at a distance of 40 wall units from the wall is considered. Data obtained by carrying out experiments in a direct numerical simulation (DNS) are used to test a stochastic model which utilized a modified Langevin equation. All of the parameters, with the exception of the time scales, are obtained from Eulerian statistics. Good agreement is obtained by making simple assumptions about the spatial variation of the time scales.

Abstract The possibility of cancelling self-excited vibrations of a mechanical system using parametric excitation is discussed. A two-mass system is considered, with the top mass excited by a flow-generated self-exciting force. The parameter of the connecting stiffness between the base mass and the foundation is a harmonic function of time and represents a parametric excitation. For such a system general conditions for full vibration cancelling are derived and presented. By means of numerical simulation the system is investigated for several sets of parameters. The theoretical results are found to be in very good agreement with the results obtained by simulation. Parameter variations show the extent of the parameter space where significant vibration cancelling can be achieved and illustrate possible applications.

We are devoted to studying a class of nonlinear delay Volterra–Fredholm type dynamic integral inequalities on time scales, which can provide explicit bounds on unknown functions. The obtained results can be utilized to investigate the qualitative theory of nonlinear delay Volterra–Fredholm type dynamic equations. An example is also presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

Thispaper reports a novel method to concentrate bacteria in three-dimension by negative dielectrophoretic (n-DEP) force in a microchannel. This was achieved by placing a thin dielectric layer on one of a pair of parallel plate electrodes. The dielectric layer having a home-plate like pentagonal shape, forms a gradient of electric field causing n-DEP. A three-dimensional numerical simulation of bacteria trajectory predicts that bacteria flowing a microchannel were three-dimensionally concentrated beneath the tip of the pentagonal dielectric thin layer. The trajectory and concentration of bacteria under n-DEP force were also experimentally confirmed using Escherichia coli cells. Bacteria moved along edges of the dielectric layer and were pushed to the opposite electrode, resulting in their concentration in three-dimension. The proposed device might be applicable to selective concentration of bacteria depending on their dielectric properties.

A randomized discrete competitive system is investigated and the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of the parameters of the system is obtained. Also, a corresponding numerical simulation is offered to support our theoretical results.

The effects of the lay-up on the water diffusion behaviour of hand made woven glass/polyester composites have been investigated by means of sorption experiments and numerical simulation of the diffusion process in a stratified media. Experimental sorption curves exhibited a non linear behaviour during the initial sorption step. On the basis of the numerical simulations, this behaviour was attributed to an enhanced diffusion rate in the superficial matrix layers. These effects were found to affect significantly the measurement of the diffusion coefficient from the sorption curve.
