Upwinding allows for accurate, non-oscillatory capturing of shocks waves; however, many Riemann solvers (both exact and approximate) suffer from some sort of numerical instability. One of the most mysterious and least understood of these is the carbuncle phenomenon. In the present study, we analyse the closely allied “simplified carbuncle” problem, also known as the 2D shock stability problem or the...
CARDIFRC is the trade name of two main groups of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete mixes – Mixes I and II – differing primarily in the maximum size of quartz sand used (0.6 mm in Mix I, and 2 mm in Mix II). In this paper, the conversion of CARDIFRC Mix II to a self-compacting and industrially competitive ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is described. A full...
A low-frequency approximation of the discrete Sommerfeld diffraction problems, involving the scattering of a time harmonic lattice wave incident on square lattice by a discrete Dirichlet or a discrete Neumann half-plane, is investigated. It is established that the exact solution of the discrete model converges to the solution of the continuum model, i.e., the continuous Sommerfeld problem, in the...
Sloshing in any type of container may invite instability to it. If some part of the free liquid surface in the annular region of a specially designed circular cylindrical container is covered with an annular baffle, the natural frequencies and the response of the liquid in the container undergo a drastic change. A partly covered free surface shifts the natural frequency above and away from the control...
Handwriting recognition is a technique that converts handwritten characters into a machine-processable format. Handwritten characters can either be presented to machine online or offline. A good amount of research in this area has been carried out for English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. Research is also going on for Indian languages on developing online handwriting recognition systems...
The objective of this paper is to examine the nature of irreversibilities in the form of entropy generation for a micropolar fluid flow through an inclined porous pipe with convective boundary conditions. The governing equations are non-dimensionlized and then linearized using a quasilinearization method. The resulting linearized equations are solved by Chebyshev spectral collocation method. The velocity,...
A time-domain design methodology for voltage regulation control of dc–dc boost and buck-boost converters based on a multi-loop controller with PI regulator for the outer loop and an inner loop with sliding mode current controller has been developed for renewable energy applications such as photovoltaic (PV)-fed dc–dc converters. This paper proposes a new method for the design of PI regulators in such...
The optimization of peak detection algorithms for electroencephalogram (EEG) signal analysis is an ongoing project; previously existing algorithms have been used with different models to detect EEG peaks in various applications. However, none of the existing techniques perform adequately in eye event-related applications. Therefore, we aimed to develop a general procedure for eye event-related applications...
A class of mixed boundary value problems (bvps), occurring in the study of scattering of surface water waves by thin vertical rigid barriers placed in water of finite depth, is examined for their approximate solutions. Two different placings of vertical barriers are analyzed, namely, (i) a partially immersed barrier and (ii) a bottom standing barrier. The solutions of the bvps are obtained by utilizing...
Even though there have been great advancements in computer vision tasks, the development of human visual attention models is still not well investigated. In day-to-day life, one can find ample applications of saliency detection in image and video processing. This paper presents an efficient visual saliency detection model based on Ripplet transform, which aims at detecting the salient region and achieving...
An analytical solution in the form of infinite series is developed for predicting time-dependent three-dimensional seepage into ditch drains from a flat, homogeneous and anisotropic ponded field of finite size, the field being assumed to be surrounded on all its vertical faces by ditch drains with unequal water level heights in them. It is also assumed that the field is being underlain by a horizontal...
The critical data we share through computer network gets stolen by unethical means. This unethical way of accessing one’s data without proper authentication becomes intrusion. To solve this issue, in this paper we propose a new network intrusion detection method, Multi-Class Classification Multiple Criteria Linear Programming (MCC-MCLP) model. MCLP is a mathematical classification technique that is...
A quadratically convergent Newton-type iterative scheme is proposed for approximating the generalized Drazin inverse $$b{^\mathrm d}$$ b d of the Banach algebra element b. Further, its extension into the form of the hyperpower iterative method of arbitrary order $$p\ge 2$$ p ≥ 2 is presented. Convergence criteria along with the estimation of error bounds in the computation...
Software quality is the fundamental requirement for a user, academia person, software developing organizations and researchers. In this paper a model for object-oriented Software Bug Prediction System (SBPS) has been developed. This model is capable of predicting the existence of bugs in a class if found, during software validation using metrics. The designed model forecasts the occurrences of bugs...
