A computational model which is based on the classical homogenous nucleation theory was developed to analyse the alumina inclusion-nucleation process in molten steel in this paper. The idea, 'pseudomolecules', proposed by Lifeng Zhang[1,2], was cited as the basic unit of the physical process of nucleation. However, the nucleation stage was evolved to be controlled by the diffusion of pseudomolecules groups than single pseudomolecule, which is much closer to the actual situation. The differential equations of different pseudomolecules size distribution were given and calculated by computer programs using Runge-Kutta method. Some key parameters, such as supersaturation, nucleation rate, and inclusion population were calculated and compared with some others' conclusion.

This work touches two important cases for the motion of a pendulum called Sub and Ultra-harmonic cases. The small parameter method is used to obtain the approximate analytic periodic solutions of the equation of motion when the pivot point of the pendulum moves in an elliptic path. Moreover, the fourth order Runge-Kutta method is used to investigate the numerical solutions of the considered model. The comparison between both the analytical solution and the numerical ones shows high consistency between them.

In this paper, approximate analytical solution of biochemical reaction model is used by the multi-step differential transform method (MsDTM) based on classical differential transformation method (DTM). Numerical results are compared to those obtained by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method to illustrate the preciseness and effectiveness of the proposed method. Results are given explicit and graphical form.

Abstract Aiming at the current development of drilling technology and the deepening of oil and gas exploration, we focus on better studying the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the drill string under complex working conditions and knowing the real movement of the drill string during drilling. This paper firstly combines the actual situation of the well to establish the dynamic model of the horizontal drill string, and analyzes the dynamic characteristics, giving the expression of the force of each part of the model. Secondly, it introduces the piecewise constant method (simply known as PT method), and gives the solution equation. Then according to the basic parameters, the axial vibration displacement and vibration velocity at the test points are solved by the PT method and the Runge–Kutta method, respectively, and the phase diagram, the Poincare map, and the spectrogram are obtained. The results obtained by the two methods are compared and analyzed. Finally, the relevant experimental tests are carried out. It shows that the results of the dynamic model of the horizontal drill string are basically consistent with the results obtained by the actual test, which verifies the validity of the dynamic model and the correctness of the calculated results. When solving the drill string nonlinear dynamics, the results of the PT method is closer to the theoretical solution than that of the Runge–Kutta method with the same order and time step. And the PT method is better than the Runge–Kutta method with the same order in smoothness and continuity in solving the drill string nonlinear dynamics.
