FINITE DIFFERENCES METHOD AND ADAPTIVE GRIDS IN THE METHOD OF LINES FOR PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION |
by Sangare Boureima
|
Abstract |
In this paper a time-dependent moving-grid method is
described to numerically solve time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs)
in one space dimensions involving fine scale structures such as steep moving fronts,
emerging steep layers, pulses and shocks. Smoothing in the spatial direction is
employed to control grid clustering and expansion. Additional smoothing in the temporal
direction ensures a smooth progression of the grid points in time by preventing
the points from responding too quickly to current values of the weight functions.
In particular, we focus attention on finite differences scheme and adaptative grids
using Method Of Line (MOL) toolbox within MATLAB. The numerical simulation includes
various spatial approximation schemes based on finite differences and slope limiters.
Several finite difference schemes, are compared. The performance of the algorithm
is demonstrated with illustrative example including, a model of flame propagation,
a methanisation in a reactor problem, and a classical Korteweg-de-Vries equation.

THE ILL-CONDITIONED PROBLEM IN PARTICLE SIZE MEASUREMENT BASED ON LIGHT EXTINCTION METHOD |
by Duan Tianxiong & Hu Bin |
Abstract |
In the visible light region,
the sources and specific performance of ill-conditioned problem in particle sizing
using light extinction method are calculated and analyzed. The experiments are performed
with standard polystyrene particles. And the improved global POWELL algorithm is
used to inverse the particle size distributions. Both simulation and experimental
results show that the ill-conditioned problem in the light extinction method is
serious for the submicron particles. It is sensitive to noise, leading to the poor
stability and accuracy of the inverse results.

COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT NUMERICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIMULATOR OF SURFACTANT ASSISTED ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY PROCESS |
by Kamilu Folorunsho Oyedeko & Alfred Akpoveta Susu
|
Abstract |
In
this work, a simulator is designed for enhanced oil recovery process for surfactant
assisted water flooding. The system being investigated consists of three components
(petroleum, water and surfactant) and two-phases (aqueous and oleic). The model
equations are characterized by a system of non-linear, partial, differential equations:
the continuity equation for the transport of each component, Darcy’s equation for
the flow of each phase and algebraic equations. The simulator incorporates first
order effects, with scope to accommodate two or three dimensions, two fluid phases
and one adsorbent phase and four other components. The numerical methods used in
the solution of the model equations are the orthogonal collocation, finite difference,
and coherence theory techniques. Matlab computer programs were used for the numerical
solution of the model equations.
The results of the orthogonal collocation solution were compared with those of finite
difference and coherence solutions. The results indicate that the concentration
of surfactants for orthogonal collocation show more features than the predictions
of the coherence solutions and the finite difference, offering more opportunities
for further understanding of the physical nature of the complex problem. Also, comparison
of the orthogonal collocation solution with computations based on finite difference
and coherence theory methods offers possible explanation for the observed differences
especially between the methods and the two different reservoirs they represent.

STUDY OF URBAN SMART GROWTH APPROACH BASED ON THE PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES FOR NEW PLANNING |
by Abbas Matloubi |
Abstract |
Rapidly expanding
cities has caused many problems in most countries. So not only urban policy, but
also economic, social and environmental issues in urban areas, especially in Tehran
have been affected by this phenomenon. Although the primary cause of the rapid expansion
of cities is increasing population, but it is unreasonable dispersion has undesirable
effects on the natural environment and cultural fragmentation of countries. Many
efforts have been done to alleviate the negative effects of the diffused development
of cities. The most important strategy is "smart urban growth”, as a strategy to
deal with the "scattering" of urban smart growth that Smart growth is a substitute
for the scatter. This study seeks to provide a framework approach to urban smart
growth strategies, Including the principles and methods of planning, in order to
develop effective strategies for improving urban transport and urban land use in
Tehran. In this context, the principles, strategies and benefits of economic, social
and environmental impacts of smart growth is investigated and studied.

SURVEY ON ENHANCING THE DATA SECURITY OF THE CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT BY USING DATA SEGREGATION TECHNIQUE |
by Elham Abd Al Latif Al Badawi & Ahmed Kayed |
Abstract |
Many organizations are now migrating
to the cloud and investing in this technology. The cloud computing has solved many
problems of the traditional computing, such as handling peak loads(storage), installing
software updates, high availability of services and maintenance for cloud customers
at reasonable cost.
Due to the fact that the services and
information of many organizations had been outsourced in the cloud, it becomes impossible
to place a virtual protection and to create boundaries around the organization castle.
The
new technology has created new challenges such as data security.
The data security has always remained
major issue in the IT, but in the cloud it becomes a serious concern since the data
will be distributed at different places all over the globe and the resources are
shared by different customers so it makes it difficult to clearly identify, authenticate,
authorize and monitor who is accessing the customer’s data.
This survey paper aims to discuss the
using of data segregation technique to enhance cloud computing data security and
it also describes the advantages and disadvantage of the existing data segregation
strategies and techniques.

SUPPLY CHAIN PERFORMANCE EVALUATION IN THE IT INDUSTRY |
by Mohammad Taghipour, Mehrnaz Bagheri, Mahbube Khodarezaei & Farjad Farid |
Abstract |
The appraisal of several performance measure
agendas and metrics already accessible proposes that supply chain performance measure
can be detected under different categories such as cost and non-cost; strategic
and operational level; financial and business process perspective; customer, financial,
internal operation, learning and growth perspective. Lack of appropriate knowledge
in supply chain management that touches project success can lead to increased cost
and delays. Hiring supply chain management in IT industry, with respect to their
huge size and large investments, may help to elevate use of resources and implementation
time. For this purpose, supply chain management may be used to evaluate chain performance,
set future performance goals, and draw appropriate path for project success. This
requires a comprehensive means and measures to assess different aspects of supply
chain and make systematic evaluation possible. In this study, we have developed
supply chain of IT industry based on BSC from existing decision making models. Then,
industrial projects performance and performance evaluation measures have been determined
using a designed questionnaire. Finally, project performance evaluation measures
are proposed based on lean thinking principles and ranked using Expert Choice software.
