This study investigates the flow and thermal characteristics of power-law liquid in an enclosure with heat transfer. The effects of different parameters on the flow and heat transfer are analyzed through numerical simulations. The results show that the power-law index has a significant influence on the flow and thermal distributions.
Flow of a liquid in an enclosure with heat transfer has drawn special focus of researchers due to the abundant thermal engineering applications. So, the aim of present communication is to explore thermal characteristics of natural convective power-law liquid flow in a square enclosure rooted with a T-shaped fin. The formulation of the problem is executed in the form of partial differential expressions by incorporating the rheological relation of the power-law fluid. The lower wall of the enclosure along with the fin is uniformly heated and vertical walls are prescribed with cold temperature. For effective heat transfer within the cavity the upper boundary is considered thermally insulated. A finite element based commercial software known as COMSOL is used for simulations and discretization of differential equations and is executed incorporating a weak formulation. Domain discretization is performed by dividing it into triangular and rectangular elements at different refinement levels. A grid independence test is accomplished for quantities of engineering interest like local and average Nusselt numbers to attain accuracy and validity in results. Variation in the momentum and thermal distributions against pertinent parameters is analyzed through stream lines and isothermal contour plots. Measurement of the heat flux coefficient along with the calculation of kinetic energy against involved parameters is displayed through graphs and tables. After the comprehensive overview of attained results it is deduced that kinetic energy elevates against the upsurging magnitude of the Rayleigh number, whereas contrary behavior is encapsulated versus power-law index n. Elevation in the Nusselt number for the shear thinning case i.e., n=0.5 adheres as compared to Newtonian i.e., n=1 and shear thickening cases i.e., n=1.5. It is perceived that by the upsurging power-law index viscosity augmentations and circulation zones increases. Heat is transferred quickly against Rayleigh number (Ra) due to production of temperature difference in flow domain.

Complex Dynamics of Coupled Neurons Through a Memristive Synapse: Extreme Multistability and Its Control With Selection of the Desired State

Zeric Tabekoueng Njitacke, Jan Awrejcewicz, Adelaide Nicole Kengnou Telem, Theophile Fonzin Fozin, Jacques Kengne

Summary: In this study, a new configuration involving the coupling of a 2D Fitzhugh-Nagumo (FN) neuron with a 3D Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron via a memristive synapse is investigated. The self-excited dynamics of the coupled neurons is revealed after analyzing the equilibria of the model. Resting activity, periodic spikes, periodic and chaotic bursts are found during the numerical investigation of the model. The coupled neurons display the rare phenomenon of homogeneous extreme multistability, where an infinite number of firing activities of the same nature but located at different levels in the phase space coexist. The selection of desired electrical activity dynamics is also emphasized through a noninvasive control scheme. An electronic circuit of the coupled neuron is designed and investigated to support the obtained results.

Summary: In this paper, an extended residual power series method (RPSM) is proposed to solve ordinary differential equations with boundary conditions. The reliability of the proposed methodology is tested by comparing the results with other schemes for different boundary value problems (BVPs). The analysis shows that the extended approach can handle BVPs easily and provide a convergent series solution without the need for discretization, perturbation, or linearization. Therefore, RPSM is a better choice for scientists and researchers working in various fields of engineering and sciences.

The Propagating Exact Solitary Waves Formation of Generalized Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schiff Equation with Robust Computational Approaches

Basem Al Alwan, Muhammad Abu Bakar, Waqas Ali Faridi, Antoniu-Claudiu Turcu, Ali Akgul, Mohammed Sallah

Summary: This paper examines and analyzes the generalized Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schiff equation (GCBSE). The equation has several applications in plasma physics and soliton theory, providing forecasts for soliton wave propagation profiles. By transforming the model into an ordinary differential equation using the next traveling wave transformation, analytically exact solitons are obtained. The new extended direct algebraic technique and modified auxiliary equation method are applied to the GCBSE to obtain novel and generalized analytical wave solutions, including various soliton families. The propagation of the soliton solution is graphically presented in contour, 2D, and 3D visualization to demonstrate the impact of the wave number on the obtained traveling wave structures.

Energy computation and multiplier-less implementation of the two-dimensional FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) neural circuit

Zeric Tabekoueng Njitacke, Gokul Sriram, Karthikeyan Rajagopal, Anitha Karthikeyan, Jan Awrejcewicz

Summary: In order to reduce the cost of implementing the traditional 2D FHN neuron circuit, a pair of diodes connected in an anti-parallel direction was used instead of the usual cubic nonlinearity implemented with two multipliers. The stability of the model justifies the generation of self-excited firing patterns. Utilizing the Helmholtz theorem, a Hamilton function is provided to estimate the energy released during each electrical activity of the model. The investigation of the 1D evolution of the maxima of the membrane potential of the model reveals a period of doubling bifurcation followed by a crisis that increases the volume of the attractor. The obtained results are validated through the realization of a neural circuit without analog multipliers.
