Исследуется конечно-разностная однопараметрическая схема для решения системы уравнений переноса, возникающей при применении метода расщепления по физическим процессам к задачам для системы кинетических уравнений. Исследование устойчивости проводится с помощью метода Неймана, построена область устойчивости на плоскости "параметр схемы-число Куранта". Показано, что за счет выбора параметра можно влиять на дисперсионные и диссипативные свойства схемы. Реализован подход к выбору оптимального параметра, основанный на оптимизации дисперсионных и диссипативных поверхностей. Эффективность схемы при оптимальном значении параметра показана при численном решении задач о течении в каверне и о волнах сдвига в вязкой жидкости. A finite-difference single-parameter scheme for solving the system of advection equations arising in the application of the method of splitting into physical processes to a system of kinetic equations is studied. The stability analysis is performed using the Neumann method. A stability domain in the "scheme's parameter-Courant number" plane is constructed. It is shown that an appropriate choice of this parameter allows one to regulate the dispersive and dissipative properties of the scheme. An approach of choosing the optimal parameter is proposed on the basis of an optimization of dispersive and dissipative surfaces. An efficiency of the scheme with the optimal parameter is illustrated by the numerical solution of the cavity flow problem and the problem on the propagation of shear waves in viscous fluid.

Статья посвящена анализу устойчивости неявных конечно-разностных схем для системы кинетических уравнений, применяемых для проведения гидродинамических расчетов в рамках метода решеточных уравнений Больцмана. Представлены семейства двухслойных и трехслойных схем с направленными разностями первого-четвертого порядков аппроксимации по пространственным переменным. Важной особенностью схем является то, что конвективные слагаемые аппроксимируются одной конечной разностью. Показано, что в выражении для аппроксимационной вязкости схем высоких порядков отсутствуют фиктивные слагаемые, что позволяет применять их во всем диапазоне значений времени релаксации. Анализ устойчивости проводится по линейному приближению с использованием метода Неймана. Получены приближенные условия устойчивости в виде неравенств на значения параметра Куранта. При расчетах показано, что площади областей устойчивости в пространстве параметров у двухслойных схем больше, чем у трехслойных. Исследованные схемы могут применяться при расчетах как непосредственно, так и в методах типа предиктор-корректор. The paper is devoted to the stability analysis of the implicit finite-difference schemes for the system of kinetic equations used for the hydrodynamic computations in the framework of the lattice Boltzmann method. The families of two- and three-layer upwind schemes of the first to fourth approximation orders on spatial variables are considered. An important feature of the presented schemes is that the convective terms are approximated by one finite difference. It is shown that, for the high-order schemes, in the expression for the current viscosity there are no fictitious terms, which makes it possible to perform computations in the whole range of relaxation time values. The stability analysis is based on the application of the von Neumann method to the linear approximations of the schemes. The stability conditions are obtained in the form of inequalities imposed on the Courant number values. It is also shown that the areas of stability domains for the two-layer schemes are greater than for the three-layer schemes in the parameter space. The considered schemes can be used as the fully implicit schemes in computational algorithms directly or in the predictor-corrector methods.

Статья посвящена анализу и оптимизации явных разностных схем для решения уравнений переноса, возникающих на этапе адвекции метода расщепления по физическим процессам. Метод может применяться как для решеточных уравнений Больцмана, так и при решении кинетических уравнений общего вида. Рассматриваются схемы второго-четвертого порядков аппроксимации. Для уменьшения эффектов численных диссипации и дисперсии используются схемы с параметром. С использованием метода фон Неймана и полиномиальной аппроксимации границ областей устойчивости получены условия устойчивости схем в виде неравенств на значения параметра Куранта. Оптимальные значения параметра для регулирования диссипативных и дисперсионных эффектов предлагается находить посредством решения задач минимизации функций максимума. Схемы с оптимальными значениями параметра применяются при решении тестовых задач - для одномерного и двумерного уравнений переноса, а также при применении метода расщепления к решению задачи о течении в каверне с подвижной крышкой. This paper is devoted to the analysis and optimization of explicit finite-difference schemes for solving the transport equations arising at the advection stage in the method of splitting into physical processes. The method can be applied to the lattice Boltzmann equations and to the kinetic equations of general type. The second-to-fourth order schemes are considered. In order to minimize the effect of numerical dispersion and dissipation, the parametric schemes are used. The Neumann method and the polynomial approximation of the boundaries of stability domains are employed to obtain the stability conditions in the form of inequalities imposed on the Courant parameter. The optimal values of the parameter used to control the dissipation and dispersion effects are found by minimizing the maximum function. The schemes with optimal parameters are applied for the numerical solution of 1D and 2D advection equations and for the problem of lid-driven cavity flow.

Stability of finite-difference-based off-lattice Boltzmann schemes is analyzed. The time derivative in system of discrete Boltzmann equations is approximated by two-step modified central difference. Advective term is approximated by finite differences from first- to fourth-orders of accuracy. Characteristics-based (CB) schemes and schemes with traditional separate approximations of space derivatives are considered. A special class of high-order CB schemes with approximation in the internal nodes of grid patterns is constructed. It is demonstrated that apparent viscosity for the schemes of high-order is equal to kinematic viscosity of the system of Bhatnaghar–Gross–Krook kinetic equations. Stability of the schemes is analyzed by the von Neumann method for the cases of two flow regimes in unbounded domain. Stability is analyzed by the investigation of the stability domains in parameter space. The area of the domain is considered as the main numerical characteristic of the stability. As the main result of the analysis, it must be mentioned that the areas of CB schemes are greater than areas for the schemes with separate approximations.

In finite difference simulations of electrochemical transport problems, it is usually tacitly assumed that λ, the stability factor Dδt/δx2, should be set as high as possible. Here, accuracy contours are shown in (nT, λ) space, where nT is he number of finite difference steps per unit (dimensionless) time. Examples are the Cottrell experiment, simple chronopotentiometry and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) on a reversible system. The simulation techniques examined include the standard explicit (point- and box-) methods as well as Runge-Kutta, Crank-Nicolson, hopscotch and Saul’yev. For the box method, the two-point current approximation appears to be the most appropriate. A rational algorithm for boundary concentrations with explicit LSV simulations is discussed. In general, the practice of choosing as high a λ value when using the explicit techniques, is confirmed; there are practical limits in all cases.

In this paper, we study a new retrial queueing system with N classes of customers, where a class-i blocked customer joins orbit i. Orbit i works like a single-server queueing system with (exponential) constant retrial time (with rate [Formula: see text]) regardless of the orbit size. Such a system is motivated by multiple telecommunication applications, for instance wireless multi-access systems, and transmission control protocols. First, we present a review of some corresponding recent results related to a single-orbit retrial system. Then, using a regenerative approach, we deduce a set of necessary stability conditions for such a system. We will show that these conditions have a very clear probabilistic interpretation. We also performed a number of simulations to show that the obtained conditions delimit the stability domain with a remarkable accuracy, being in fact the (necessary and sufficient) stability criteria, at the very least for the 2-orbit M/M/1/1-type and M/Pareto/1/1-type retrial systems that we focus on.

Multi-cutter turning systems bear huge potential in increasing cutting performance. In this study we show that the stable parameter region can be extended by the optimal tuning of system parameters. The optimal parameter regions can be identified by means of stability charts. Since the stability boundaries are highly sensitive to the dynamical parameters of the machine tool, the reliable exploitation of the so-called stability pockets is limited. Still, the lower envelope of the stability lobes is an appropriate upper boundary function for optimization purposes with an objective function taken for maximal material removal rates. This lower envelope is computed by the Robust Stability Computation method presented in the paper. It is shown in this study, that according to theoretical results obtained for optimally tuned cutters, the safe stable machining parameter region can significantly be extended, which has also been validated by machining tests.
