Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Numerical methods for partial differential equations always play an important role in applied mathematics and its engineering applications, especially in computational fluid dynamics and computational electromagnetics. The current Special Issue aims to publish original high-quality papers of recent advances in numerical methods for partial differential equations with engineering and other practical background. Research papers may focus on numerical simulations, new algorithms and  numerical analysis, based upon the finite element method, finite volume method, finite difference method, and spectral method, among others. The topics of research papers may include, but are not limited to, the following: Numerical Algorithms for Coupling of Multi-Physics; Parallel Algorithms in Space and/or Time; Interface Problems

In this article, we consider a reliable analytical and numerical approach to create fuzzy approximated solutions for differential equations of fractional order with appropriate uncertain initial data by the means of a residual error function. The concept of strongly generalized differentiability is utilized to introduce the fuzzy fractional derivatives. The proposed method provides a systematic scheme based on generalized Taylor expansion and minimization of the residual error function, so as to obtain the coefficients values of a fractional series based on the given initial data of triangular fuzzy numbers in the parametric form. The obtained approximated solutions are provided within an appropriate radius to the requisite domain in the form of rapidly convergent fractional series according to their parametric form. The method’s performance and applicability are verified by applying it on some numerical examples. The impact of r-levels and fractional order γ is presented quantitatively and graphically, showing the coincidence between the exact and the fuzzy approximated solutions. Moreover, for reliability and accuracy, our obtained results are numerically compared with the exact solutions and with results obtained using other methods described in the literature. This indicates that the proposed approach overcomes the difficulties that appear in other approaches to create fractional series solutions for varied uncertain natural problems arising within the fields of applied physics and engineering.

We deal with 2D and 3D barotropic gas dynamics system of equations with two viscous regularizations: so-called quasi-gas dynamics (QGD) and quasi-hydrodynamics (QHD) ones. The system is linearized on a constant solution with any velocity, and an explicit two-level in time and symmetric three-point in each spatial direction finite-difference scheme on the uniform rectangular mesh is considered for the linearized system. We study L2-dissipativity of solutions to the Cauchy problem for this scheme by the spectral method and present a criterion in the form of a matrix inequality containing symbols of symmetric matrices of convective and regularizing terms. Analyzing these inequality and matrices, we also derive explicit sufficient conditions and necessary conditions in the Courant-type form which are rather close to each other. For the QHD regularization, such conditions are derived for the first time in 2D and 3D cases, whereas, for the QGD regularization, they improve those that have recently been obtained. Explicit formulas for a scheme parameter that guarantee taking the maximal time step are given for these conditions. An important moment is a new choice of an “average” spatial mesh step ensuring the independence of the conditions from the ratios of the spatial mesh steps and, for the QGD regularization, from the Mach number as well.

This coupled non-linear system is typically used to describe electric circuits, traffic flow, shallow water waves, elastic media, electrodynamics, etc. The homotopy perturbation method is modified with the help of the ρ-Laplace transformation to investigate the solution of the given examples to show the accuracy of the current technique. The solution of the given technique and the actual results are shown and analyzed with figures. Full article

In this paper, the Elzaki transform decomposition method is implemented to solve the time-fractional Swift–Hohenberg equations. The presented model is related to the temperature and thermal convection of fluid dynamics, which can also be used to explain the formation process in liquid surfaces bounded along a horizontally well-conducting boundary. In the Caputo manner, the fractional derivative is described. The suggested method is easy to implement and needs a small number of calculations. The validity of the presented method is confirmed from the numerical examples. Illustrative figures are used to derive and verify the supporting analytical schemes for fractional-order of the proposed problems. It has been confirmed that the proposed method can be easily extended for the solution of other linear and non-linear fractional-order partial differential equations. Full article
