The existence of a TPG can generate a relatively high pressure gradient in the process of fluid flow in porous media in low-permeable reservoirs, and neglecting the QPGTs in the governing equations, by assuming a small pressure gradient for such a problem, can cause a significant error in predicting the formation pressure. Based on these concerns, in consideration of the QPGT, a moving boundary model of radial flow in low-permeable reservoirs with the TPG for the case of a constant flow rate at the inner boundary is constructed. Due to strong nonlinearity of the mathematical model, a numerical method is presented: the system of partial differential equations for the moving boundary problem is first transformed equivalently into a closed system of partial differential equations with fixed boundary conditions by a spatial coordinate transformation method; and then a stable, fully implicit finite difference method is used to obtain its numerical solution. Numerical result analysis shows that the mathematical models of radial flow in low-permeable reservoirs with TPG must take the QPGT into account in their governing equations, which is more important than those of Darcy’s flow; the sensitive effects of the QPGT for the radial flow model do not change with an increase of the dimensionless TPG.

A numerical method is presented for the solution of a moving boundary problem of one-dimensional flow in semi-infinite long porous media with threshold pressure gradient (TPG) for the case of a constant flow rate at the inner boundary. In order to overcome the difficulty in the space discretization of the transient flow region with a moving boundary in the process of numerical solution, the system of partial differential equations for the moving boundary problem is first transformed equivalently into a closed system of partial differential equations with fixed boundary conditions by a spatial coordinate transformation method. Then a stable, fully implicit finite difference method is adopted to obtain its numerical solution. Finally, numerical results of transient distance of the moving boundary, transient production pressure of wellbore, and formation pressure distribution are compared graphically with those from a published exact analytical solution under different values of dimensionless TPG as calculated from actual experimental data. Comparison analysis shows that numerical solutions are in good agreement with the exact analytical solutions, and there is a big difference of model solutions between Darcy's flow and the fluid flow in porous media with TPG, especially for the case of a large dimensionless TPG.

Layer Flow

The physical problem under consideration is the boundary layer problem of an incompressible, laminar flow, taking place over a flat plate in the presence of a pressure gradient and radiation. For the mathematical formulation of the problem, the partial differential equations of continuity, energy, and momentum are taken into consideration with the boundary layer simplifications. Using the dimensionless Falkner–Skan transformation, a nonlinear, nonhomogeneous, coupled system of partial differential equations (PDEs) is obtained, which is solved via the homotopy analysis method. The obtained analytical solution describes radiation and pressure gradient effects on the boundary layer flow. These analytical results reveal that the adverse or favorable pressure gradient influences the dimensionless velocity and the dimensionless temperature of the boundary layer. An adverse pressure gradient causes significant changes on the dimensionless wall shear parameter and the dimensionless wall heat-transfer parameter. Thermal radiation influences the thermal boundary layer. The analytical results are in very good agreement with the corresponding numerical ones obtained using a modification of the Keller’s-box method.

Helical Pipe

There is no denying fact that helically moving pipe/cylinder has versatile utilization in industries; as it has multi-purposes, such as foundation helical piers, drilling of rigs, hydraulic simultaneous lift system, foundation helical brackets and many others. This paper incorporates the new analysis based on modern fractional differentiation on infinite helically moving pipe. The mathematical modeling of infinite helically moving pipe results in governing equations involving partial differential equations of integer order. In order to highlight the effects of fractional differentiation, namely, Atangana–Baleanu on the governing partial differential equations, the Laplace and Hankel transforms are invoked for finding the angular and oscillating velocities corresponding to applied shear stresses. Our investigated general solutions involve the gamma functions of linear expressions. For eliminating the gamma functions of linear expressions, the solutions of angular and oscillating velocities corresponding to applied shear stresses are communicated in terms of Fox- H function. At last, various embedded rheological parameters such as friction and viscous factor, curvature diameter of the helical pipe, dynamic analogies of relaxation and retardation time and comparison of viscoelastic fluid models (Burger, Oldroyd-B, Maxwell and Newtonian) have significant discrepancies and semblances based on helically moving pipe.

The bending solutions of rectangular thick plate with all edges clamped and supported were investigated in this study. The basic governing equations used for analysis are based on Mindlin’s higher-order shear deformation plate theory. Using a new function, the three coupled governing equations have been modified to independent partial differential equations that can be solved separately. These equations are coded in terms of deflection of the plate and the mentioned functions. By solving these decoupled equations, the analytic solutions of rectangular thick plate with all edges clamped and supported have been derived. The proposed method eliminates the complicated derivation for calculating coefficients and addresses the solution to problems directly. Moreover, numerical comparison shows the correctness and accuracy of the results.

A systematic procedure for deriving the system model of a cable transporter system with arbitrarily time-varying lengths is presented. Two different approaches are used to develop the model, namely, Newton’s Law and Hamilton’s Principle. The derived governing equations are nonlinear partial differential equations. The same results are obtained using the two methods. The Rayleigh-Ritz method is used to obtain an approximate numerical solution of the governing equations by transforming the infinite order partial differential equations into a finite order discretized system. A Lyapunov controller which can both dissipate the vibratory energy and assure the attainment of the desired goal is derived. The validity of the proposed controller is verified by numerical simulation.

We present a systematic procedure for deriving the model of a cable transporter system with arbitrarily varying cable lengths. The Hamilton principle is applied to derive the governing equations of motion. The derived governing equations are nonlinear partial differential equations. The results are verified using the Newton law. The assumed mode method is used to obtain an approximate numerical solution of the governing equations by transforming the infinite-dimensional partial differential equations into a finite-dimensional discretized system. We propose a Lyapunov controller, based directly on the governing partial differential equations, which can both dissipate the vibratory energy during the motion of the transporter and guarantee the attainment of the desired goal point. The validity of the proposed controller is verified by numerical simulation.
