The flight of a migratory bird-like flapping-wing aircraft is characterized by a low Reynolds number and unsteadiness. The selection of airfoil profiles is critical to designing an efficient flapping-wing aircraft. To choose the suitable airfoil for vari...

The electromagnetic interaction between a circular disk with finite conductivity and finite thickness and a coaxial circular loop of constant current is addressed here. The finite conductivity and thickness of the material disk lead to the adoption of su...

The use of boundary elements in the analysis of exterior acoustic problems poses challenges at specific frequencies, since fictitious eigenfrequencies may arise at the internal resonances of cavities, leading to inaccurate results or even unstable behavi...

Integro-differential equations involving Volterra and Fredholm operators (VFIDEs) are used to model many phenomena in science and engineering. Nonlocal boundary conditions are more effective, and in some cases necessary, because they are more accurate me...

Computing the backscattering of harmonic acoustic waves from underwater elastic targets of arbitrary shapes is a challenging problem of considerable practical significance. The finite element method is well suited for the discretization of the target, wh...

The problem of flow control under conditions of a turbulent boundary layer at transonic and supersonic free-stream velocities is considered. Such flows are integral components of the flight process and exert significant effects on the flow around both th...

We develop a numerical method for solving three-dimensional problems of fluid filtration and absorption in a piecewise homogeneous medium by means of boundary integral equations. This method is applied to a simulation of the lymph flow in a lymph node. T...

Recent developments have shown that the widely used simplified differential model of Eringen?s nonlocal elasticity in nanobeam analysis is not equivalent to the corresponding and initially proposed integral models, the pure integral model and the two-pha...

Air-cushion-assisted platforms (ACAPs) are floating platforms supported by both buoyancy pontoon and air cushion, which have merits of wave bending moment reduction, better stability, and hydrodynamic performance. However, there is barely a concise metho...

The ship wave is of great interest for wave drag and coastal erosion. This paper proposes a mechanism of ship wave transformation to explore the effects of ship speed and ship size on the waveform. Firstly, based on the theory of potential flow, the boun...
