Abstract:
This paper deals with the application of a Fokker–Planck code to the problem of heat conduction down steep thermal gradients. The results are compared with those obtained with other codes based on the Fokker–Planck equation in which various simplifying assumptions are made in the calculation of the Rosenbluth potentials. The particular problem considered is that of heat flow between spherical shells at different temperatures. The difference between the heat flows resulting from isotropic and anisotropic distributions is specially emphasized. The results show that, for calculating temperature,

Abstract:
Abstract Crosstalk in wiring harness has been studied extensively for its importance in the naval ships electromagnetic compatibility field. An effective and high-efficiency method is proposed in this paper for analyzing Statistical Characteristics of crosstalk in wiring harness with random variation of position based on Polynomial Chaos Expansion (PCE). A typical 14-cable wiring harness was simulated as the object of research. Distance among interfering cable, affected cable and GND is synthesized and analyzed in both frequency domain and time domain. The model of naval ships wiring harness d

Abstract:
The paper considers two algorithms for calculating the neutron yield of the Globus-M2 tokamak for the case of anisotropic ion distribution functions. Such calculations are necessary to estimate the flux of neutrons produced as a result of the interaction between fast particles (deuterons) arising from the neutral beam injection. The first algorithm is the calculation of a six-dimensional integral in the velocity space, and the second uses the expansion of the ion distribution function in terms of Legendre polynomials, which allows one to reduce the dimension of integration.

Abstract:
A hydrodynamic theory is presented for plasma particles whose distribution function is close to a plateau in some phase-space region for a finite one-dimensional phase-spase interval. In the framework of the methods of moments, a series expansion of the particle distribution function in an appropriate system of orthogonal (Legendre) polynomials near the state with a plateau is carried out. Deviations from the plateau are due to the presence of a heat flux. The expansion obtained for the distribution function is used to truncate the chain of hydrodynamic equations and to calculate the additiona

Abstract:
To describe the angular distribution for a group-to-group neutron scattering event, the coefficients of a truncated Legendre polynomial are usually used in the multigroup cross section. However, the truncated expansion can caused negative values of a probability density function (PDF) in some scattering angles. In this study, the PDF of scattering angles is calculated using the maximum entropy method to avoid the negative probabilities of some scattering angles and the multigroup cross section library in ACE format is generated. The multigroup cross section library is verified by the computati

Abstract:
Angular distributions of differential cross sections from the latest CLAS data sets,6 for the reaction γ + p→K+ + Λ have been analyzed using associated Legendre polynomials. This analysis is based upon theoretical calculations in Ref. 1 where all sixteen observables in kaon photoproduction can be classified into four Legendre classes. Each observable can be described by an expansion of associated Legendre polynomial functions. One of the questions to be addressed is how many associated Legendre polynomials are required to describe the data. In this preliminary analysis, we used data models wit

Abstract:
Chebyshev and Legendre polynomial expansion is used to reconstruct the Henyey-Greenstein phase function and the phase functions of spherical and nonspherical particles. The result of Legendre polynomial expansion is better than that of Chebyshev polynomial for around 0-degree forward angle, while Chebyshev polynomial expansion produces more accurate results in most regions of the phase function. For large particles like ice crystals, the relative errors of Chebyshev polynomial can be two orders of magnitude less than those of Legendre polynomial.

The collision efficiency in a dilute suspension of sedimenting drops is considered, with allowance for particle Brownian motion and van der Waals attractive force. The drops are assumed to be of the same density, but they differ in size. Drop deformation and fluid inertia are neglected. Owing to small particle volume fraction, the analysis is restricted to binary interactions and includes the solution of the full quasi-steady Fokker—Planck equation for the pair-distribution function. Unlike previous studies on drop or solid particle collisions, a numerical solution is presented for arbitrary P

This paper investigates the use of blending functions to improve nonlinear frequency response predictions for a pendulum system. The harmonic balance method is used to generate approximate analytical solutions for the amplitude-dependent natural frequency of an unforced pendulum, as well as the frequency response behavior of a forced pendulum. For both cases, separate results are obtained and compared from two different approximations for the sine function: Taylor series expansion (evaluated at the stable equilibrium position of the pendulum) and Legendre polynomial series expansion (evaluated

Abstract:
Ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) are smart materials which function as soft sensors and actuators. When a small DC voltage (1–5 V) is applied to an IPMC in a cantilever configuration, ion and solvent transport through the thickness of the polymer membrane causes the transducer to bend towards the anode. For device development and use in engineering applications, actuation is often described at a higher level in terms of an electromechanical coupling between the ionic charge distribution and the stresses developed in the IPMC.

Abstract A methodology for the automatic mesh generation of triangular and quadrilateral finite element discretizations for two-dimensional elasticity problems is proposed.

The h-adaptive process used is based on a complete mesh regeneration procedure which is guided by specified mesh requirements such as geom
