Parallel multilevel fast multipole method for solving large-scale problems

The Multilevel Fast Multipole Method (FMM) is a well-established method and can be applied to solve electromagnetic (EM) scattering problems. Compared with other traditional methods, it requires less computational time and memory. However, constrained by a single processor's speed and memory limitations, the problem size that can be solved by serial implementation is still relatively small. For a million-unknown target, the computational time on a single processor is intolerable, and memory could be easily exhausted. Parallel-computing technology, which can utilize multiprocessors, provides an efficient way to solve electrically large-scale EM problems. This paper will focus on discussing the parallel methodologies applied to a multilevel FMM code, as well as demonstrating the computational efficiency of the parallel approach.

A further result on global stabilization of oscillators with bounded delayed input

This note revisits the problem of globally stabilizing an oscillator with a bounded delayed input. It establishes that an oscillator with input saturation can be globally asymptotically stabilized by a linear state feedback even in the presence of an arbitrarily large delay in the input. This result strengthens a recent result in the literature, which shows that such an oscillator can be globally asymptotically stabilized with a sufficiently small control input and the magnitude of the control input goes to zero as the delay increases to infinity. The controller constructed in this note thus improves the efficiency of the closed-loop system by fully utilizing the actuator capacity.     

Ozonation of CI Reactive Black 5 using rotating packed bed and stirred tank reactor

This study investigates the ozonation of CI Reactive Black 5 (RB5) by using the rotating packed bed (RPB) and completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR) as ozone contactors. The RPB, which provides high gravitational force by adjusting the rotational speed, was employed as a novel ozone contactor. The same ozone dosage was separately introduced into either the RPB or the CSTR for the investigation, while the experimental solution was continuously circulated within the apparatus consisting of the RPB and CSTR. The decolorization and mineralization efficiencies of RB5 in the course of ozonation are compared for these two methods. Moreover, the dissolved and off‐gas ozone concentrations were simultaneously monitored for the further analysis. As a result, the ozone mass transfer rate per unit volume of the RPB was significantly higher because of its higher mass transfer coefficient and gas–liquid concentration driving force. Furthermore, ozonation kinetics was found to be independent of the gravitational magnitude of an ozone gas–liquid contactor. Therefore, the results suggest employing RPBs as ozone‐contacting devices with the advantage of volume reduction. The experimental results, which can be used for further modeling of the ozonation process in the RPB, also show the requirement of correct design for the RPB. Consequently, the present study is useful for the understanding of practical application of RPBs. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry
