In this paper, we introduce a new numerical technique which we call fractional Chebyshev finite difference method (FChFD). The algorithm is based on a combination of the useful properties of Chebyshev polynomials approximation and finite difference method. We tested this technique to solve numerically fractional BVPs. The proposed technique is based on using matrix operator expressions which applies to the differential terms. The operational matrix method is derived in our approach in order to approximate the fractional derivatives. This operational matrix method can be regarded as a non-uniform finite difference scheme. The error bound for the fractional derivatives is introduced. The fractional derivatives are presented in terms of Caputo sense. The application of the method to fractional BVPs leads to algebraic systems which can be solved by an appropriate method. Several numerical examples are provided to confirm the accuracy and the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A comparison is made of the temperature distribution and heat loss from a trapezoidal profile fin using two different 3-dimensional methods. These two methods are analytical and finite difference methods. In the finite difference method 78 nodes are used for a fourth of the fin. A trapezoidal profile fin being the height of the fin tip is half of that of the fin base is chosen arbitrarily as the model. One of the results shows that the relative error in the total convection heat loss obtained by using 78 nodes in the finite difference method as compared to the heat conduction through the fin root obtained by analytic method seems to be good (i.e., -3.5%

A numerical solution using finite difference method to evaluate the thermal buckling of simply supported FGM plate with variable thickness is presented in this research. First, the governing differential equation of thermal stability under uniform temperature through the plate thickness is derived. Then, the governing equation has been solved using finite difference method. After validating the presented numerical method with the analytical solution, the finite difference formulation has been extended in order to include variable thickness. The accuracy of the finite difference method for variable thickness plate has been also compared with the literature where a good agreement has been found. Furthermore, a parametric study has been conducted to analyze the effect of material and geometric parameters on the thermal buckling resistance of the FGM plates. It was found that the thickness variation affects isotropic plates a bit more than FGM plates.

Thermoforming is one of the most versatile and economical process to produce polymer products. The drawback of thermoforming is difficult to control thickness of final products. Temperature distribution affects the thickness distribution of final products, but temperature difference between surface and center of sheet is difficult to decrease because of low thermal conductivity of ABS material. In order to decrease temperature difference between surface and center, heating profile must be expressed as exponential function form. In this study, Finite Difference Method was used to find out the coefficients of optimal heating profiles. Through investigation, the optimal results using Finite Difference Method show that temperature difference between surface and center of sheet can be remarkably minimized with satisfying Temperature of Forming Window.

This article presents a new global-local hybrid coarse-mesh finite difference (HCMFD) method for efficient parallel calculation of pin-by-pin heterogeneous core analysis. In the HCMFD method, the one-node coarse-mesh finite difference (CMFD) scheme is combined with a nodal expansion method (NEM)-based two-node CMFD method in a nonlinear way. In the global-local HCMFD algorithm, the global problem is a coarse-mesh eigenvalue problem, whereas the local problems are fixed source problems with boundary conditions of incoming partial current, and they can be solved in parallel. The global problem is formulated by one-node CMFD, in which two correction factors on an interface are introduced to preserve both the surface-average flux and the net current. Meanwhile, for accurate and efficient pin-wise core analysis, the local problem is solved by the conventional NEM-based two-node CMFD method. We investigated the numerical characteristics of the HCMFD method for a few benchmark problems and compared them with the conventional two-node NEM-based CMFD algorithm. In this study, the HCMFD algorithm was also parallelized with the OpenMP parallel interface, and its numerical performances were evaluated for several benchmarks.

To develope the new simulator for the analysis of fluid flow information, the influence of various convective difference schemes were evaluated. General curvilinear coordinate system with nonorthogonal grids was adopted for the successful analysis of various complex geometries. Computation results show that if we can not obtain full grid numbers within available computational environment, we need to use higher order finite difference schemes to keep the prediction accuracy.

This paper is concerned with the determination of exact buckling loads and vibration frequencies of variable thickness isotropic plates using well known finite difference technique. The plates are subjected to uni, biaxial compression and shear loadings and various combinations of boundary conditions are considered. The buckling load is found out as the in plane load that makes the determinant of the stiffness matrix equal to zero and the natural frequencies are found out by carrying out eigenvalue analysis of stiffness and mass matrices. New and exact results are given for many cases and the results are in close agreement with the published results. In this paper, like finite element method, finite difference method is applied in a very simple manner and the application of boundary conditions is also automatic.

본 논문에서는 일반적인 분산 매질의 전자기 과도 응답을 해석하기 위하여 헬름홀츠 방정식에 근거한 MODFDM(Marching-on-in-Degree Finite Difference Method) 기법을 제안한다. 라게르 함수의 특성을 이용하여 시간에 대한 미분항과 상승 적분(convolution integral)의 근사를 해석적으로 처리하였다. 본 기법의 기본적인 독창성은 전장과 전속 밀도, 유전율 등을 모두 라게르 함수로 전개한 다음, 갤러킨 시험 과정을 적용하여 시간 변수를 완전히 제거하였을 뿐만 아니라, 기존의 FDTD(Finite Difference Time-Domain) 방법과 달리 최종 계산식에 공간적인 유한 차분만을 적용하는데 있다. 일반적인 분산 매질의 해석에 적용 가능함을 보이기 위하여 대표적인 드바이, 드루드 및 로렌츠 분산 매질에 대한 전자기 과도 응답을 수치예로 보인다.

Dey and Morrison (1979)이 육상의 전기탐사문제의 해결에 성공적으로 적용한 적분차분법(integral finite different method)의 해양에서의 응용성을 연구해보기 위해, 해석해가 존재하는 연안역의 해수고유진동 문제를 도출하여 기존의 고유진동문제에 적용하여 보았다. 그 응용성의 평가는 기존 해양에 널리 적용되는 기존차분법(conventional finite different method)으로 구한 수치결과와 적분차분법으로 구한 결과를 해석해와의 비교검증을 통하여 실시되었다. 그 결과 적분차분법으로 구한 고유치와 고유함수값이 기존차분법으로 구한 결과보다 좋은것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 적분차분법의 경우 원래의 기본방정식에 Green's theorem을 적용함으로써, 기본방정식에 존재하는 2계 미분연산자가 1계 미분연산자로 해석적으로 처리되었기 때문으로 사료된다. 따라서 적분차분법을 이용하여 해수고유진동문제를 비롯한 다른 유사문제를 풀 경우 기본차분법보다 좋은 결과가 나을 것으로 사료된다. 또한 미분방정식의 수치해를 구할 경우 적분법이 차분법보다 좋은해를 줄 수 있다는 것을 증명한 것으로 사료된다.
