Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Computational science is a discipline concerned with the development of numerical methods to model, simulate and analyse scientific problems. As a highly interdisciplinary area, computational sciences bring together applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, mechanics etc. Computational science is rapidly growing, and finds important applications in a wide range of fields. For example, it plays a fundamental role in engineering, chemistry, and physics. It also has many branches in social science, such as computational economics, computational sociology, cliodynamics and culturomics. For this Special Issue, we invite original research articles and survey papers on the state-of-the-art theoretical research and applications of computational science. Manuscripts that address the industrial and societal problems associated with COVID-19 are particularly welcome.

In the present study, we consider continuous-time modeling of dynamics using observed data and formulate the modeling error caused by the discretization method used in the process. In the formulation, a class of linearized dynamics called Dahlquist’s test equations is used as representative of the target dynamics, and the characteristics of each discretization method for various dynamics are taken into account. The family of explicit Runge–Kutta methods is analyzed as a specific discretization method using the proposed framework. As a result, equations for predicting the modeling error are derived, and it is found that there can be multiple possible models obtained when using these methods. Several learning experiments using a simple neural network exhibited consistent results with theoretical predictions, including the nonuniqueness of the resulting model. Full article

This paper studies a parameter estimation problem for the non-linear diffusion equation within multiphase porous media flow, which has important applications in the field of oil reservoir simulation. First, the given problem is transformed into an optimization problem by using optimal control framework and the constraints such as well logs, which can restrain noise and improve the quality of inversion, are introduced. Then we propose the widely convergent homotopy method, which makes natural use of constraints and incorporates Tikhonov regularization. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated on illustrative examples. Full article

The arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) is a new metaheuristic algorithm inspired by arithmetic operators (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) to solve arithmetic problems. The algorithm is characterized by simple principles, fewer parameter settings, and easy implementation, and has been widely used in many fields. However, similar to other meta-heuristic algorithms, AOA suffers from shortcomings, such as slow convergence speed and an easy ability to fall into local optimum. To address the shortcomings of AOA, an improved arithmetic optimization algorithm (IAOA) is proposed. First, dynamic inertia weights are used to improve the algorithm’s exploration and exploitation ability and speed up the algorithm’s convergence speed; second, dynamic mutation probability coefficients and the triangular mutation strategy are introduced to improve the algorithm’s ability to avoid local optimum. In order to verify the effectiveness and practicality of the algorithm in this paper, six benchmark test functions are selected for the optimization search test verification to verify the optimization search ability of IAOA; then, IAOA is used for the parameter optimization of support vector machines to verify the practical ability of IAOA. The experimental results show that IAOA has a strong global search capability, and the optimization-seeking capability is significantly improved, and it shows excellent performance in support vector machine parameter optimization.

In this study, a Monte Carlo simulation (MCs)-based isogeometric stochastic Finite Element Method (FEM) is proposed for uncertainty quantification in the vibration analysis of piezoelectric materials. In this method, deterministic solutions (natural frequencies) of the coupled eigenvalue problem are obtained via isogeometric analysis (IGA). Moreover, MCs is employed to solve various uncertainty parameters, including separate elastic and piezoelectric constants and their combined cases. Full article

This paper establishes a mathematic model of a CO2 two-phase ejector to investigate flow distribution in the components of a mixing chamber and diffuser. The suction chamber was modeled using the characteristic line method to describe the development process of the supersonic expansion wave, and the mixing chamber, as well as diffuser models, were built based on the double-flow model. The reliability of the model was verified by experimental data. The distributions of flow parameters along the axis of the mixing chamber and diffuser were analyzed under different expansion ratios of the ejector. Structure optimizations of the mixing chamber and diffuser were conducted. The results showed that the primary flow temperature gradually increased along the axis of the mixing chamber and diffuser, but the Mach number distribution decreased for a certain ejector expansion ratio. The temperature and Mach number of the secondary flow showed the opposite trend. Moreover, at the initial stage of mixing, the fluid pressure increased rapidly, and the Mach number of the primary flow decreased rapidly. The gas-phase fraction of primary flow increased gradually in the mixing chamber and was stable in the diffuser. When the length–diameter ratio of the mixing chamber was about 10.8–12, it was beneficial to mix uniformity, and when the expansion angle of the diffuser was 4–6°, the ejector had a better ejector efficiency.
