Traffic dynamics of multilayer networks draws continuous attention from different communities since many systems are actually proved to have a multilayer structure. Since the core nodes of network are prone to congested, an effective routing strategy is of great significance to alleviate the congestion of the multilayer networks. In this paper, we propose an efficient improved routing strategy, with which the core nodes that can reasonably avoid congestion at the high-speed layer in the transmission process of packets, and can also make the most of the traffic resources of the low-speed layer nodes to optimize the traffic capacity of multilayer networks. The simulation results show that the proposed routing strategy can not only improve the network traffic capacity, but also shorten the average path length and average transmission time.

The study of traffic dynamics on multilayered networks is a hot issue, where the network topology is composed of two layers of subnetworks, such as wired–wireless networks and peer-to-peer networks. Virtual links on the logical layer can be changed or constructed easily, and therefore the topological structure of the upper logical layer can be efficiently constructed by a link removal strategy. In this paper, edges linking to nodes with large betweenness will be removed. The structure of the upper-layer network can be optimized freely based on our method. Simulation results show that for both shortest path routing strategy and efficient routing strategy, the traffic capacity of two-layer networks is significantly improved. In addition, the average transmission time of packets and the average path length are also investigated in this paper.

The traffic dynamics of multi-layer networks has become a hot research topic since many networks are comprised of two or more layers of subnetworks. Due to its low traffic capacity, the traditional shortest path routing (SPR) protocol is susceptible to congestion on two-layer complex networks. In this paper, we propose an efficient routing strategy named improved global awareness routing (IGAR) strategy which is based on the betweenness centrality of nodes in the two layers. With the proposed strategy, the routing paths can bypass hub nodes of both layers to enhance the transport efficiency. Simulation results show that the IGAR strategy can bring much better traffic capacity than the SPR and the global awareness routing (GAR) strategies. Because of the significantly improved traffic performance, this study is helpful to alleviate congestion of the two-layer complex networks.

The traffic dynamics of complex networks is closely related to network structure. By changing network structure, the traffic dynamics behavior can be optimized. Faced with the network congestion problem, we focus on the relationship between network traffic capacity and its structure. The multilayer networks are studied, which are composed of high-speed and low-speed layers. A link rewiring strategy is proposed to change the low-speed layer structure and improve the network traffic capacity. Compared with the random link rewiring strategy, the purposeful link rewiring strategy can improve network traffic capacity. A large number of simulations are carried out under the effective traffic-flow assignment strategy to prove the effectiveness of the link rewiring strategy. This strategy improves packet transmission efficiency of low-speed layer, and reduces the average length of effective path, which indicates that adjustment of low-speed layer structure can improve traffic capacity of multilayer networks.

The network structure acquires great influence on the traffic capacity for complex network. Since the nodes with high degree usually bear large load in the process of packet transmission, we propose a new multilayer network model which can balance the load of low-speed and high-speed layers. The simulation results show that compared with the randomly select nodes multilayer network model, the new network model makes the multilayer network load more balanced, thereby enhancing traffic capacity of the network and reducing the possibility of congestion. This network model gives full play to the transmission advantages of the high-speed layer of the multilayer network, and can reduce the consumption of resources while achieving the same transmission effect, which is of guiding significance for the planning of network lines.

The link congestion based traffic model can more accurately reveal the traffic dynamics of many real complex networks such as the Internet, and heuristically optimizing each link's weight for the shortest path routing strategy can strongly improve the traffic capacity of network. In this work, we propose an optimal routing strategy in which the weight of each link is regulated incrementally to enhance the network traffic capacity by minimizing the maximum link betweenness of any link in the network. We also estimate more suitable value of the tunable parameter β for the efficient routing strategy under the link congestion based traffic model. The traffic load of network can be significantly balanced at the expense of increasing a bit average path length or average traffic load.

In terms of reducing traffic congestion, it should be understood that traffic dynamics depend on network structure. Most of complex networks in the real world can be represented by multi-layer and community structures, that is, the connections within the community are relatively close, and the connections between the community are relatively sparse. There are generally strong and weak community networks in community networks. In this work, the strong and weak community networks are used to construct two-layer network models of different scales, and then the influence of community structure on traffic capacity is analyzed. The simulation results show that when the two-layer network model is composed of two strong community networks, the traffic capacity is the largest, followed by the two-layer network model composed of two weak community networks, the traffic capacity is also relatively large. When the two subnetworks are of different community strength, the traffic capacity is relatively small.

Abstract In real communication or transportation systems, loss of agents is very common due to finite storage capacity. We study the traffic dynamics in finite buffer networks and propose a routing strategy motivated by a heuristic algorithm to alleviate packet loss. Under this routing strategy, the traffic capacity is further improved, comparing to the shortest path routing strategy and efficient routing strategy. Then we investigate the effect of this routing strategy on the betweenness of nodes. Through dynamic routing changes, the maximum node betweenness of the network is greatly reduced, and the final betweenness of each node is almost the same. Therefore, the routing strategy proposed in this paper can balance the node load, thereby effectively alleviating packet loss.

Core shooting process is the most widely used technique to make sand cores and it plays an important role in the quality of sand cores as well as the manufacture of complicated castings in metal casting industry. In this paper, the flow behavior of sand particles in the core box was investigated synchronously with transparent core box, high-speed camera, and pressure measuring system. The flow pattern of sand particles in the shooting head of the core shooting machine was reproduced with various colored core sand layers. Taking both kinetic and frictional stress into account, a kinetic-frictional constitutive correlation was established to describe the internal momentum transfer in the solid phase. Two-fluid model (TFM) simulations with turbulence model were then performed and good agreement was achieved between the experimental and simulation results on the flow behavior of sand particles in both the shooting head and the core box. Based on the experimental and simulation results, the flow behavior of sand particles in the core box, the formation of “dead zone” in the shooting head, and the effect of drag force were analyzed in terms of sand volume fraction (αs), sand velocity (Vs), and pressure variation (P).

In order to alleviate traffic congestion on multilayer networks, designing an efficient routing strategy is one of the most important ways. In this paper, a novel routing strategy is proposed to reduce traffic congestion on two-layer networks. In the proposed strategy, the optimal paths in the physical layer are chosen by comprehensively considering the roles of nodes’ degrees of the two layers. Both numerical and analytical results indicate that our routing strategy can reasonably redistribute the traffic load of the physical layer, and thus the traffic capacity of two-layer complex networks are significantly enhanced compared with the shortest path routing (SPR) and the global awareness routing (GAR) strategies. This study may shed some light on the optimization of networked traffic dynamics.
