This research focuses on conducting a dynamic system analysis of a stochastic epidemic model capable of predicting the persistence or extinction of the dengue disease. Numerical methodology on deterministic procedures, i.e. Adams method and stochastic/probabilistic schemes, i.e. stochastic Runge–Kutta method, is employed to simulate and forecast the spread of disease. This study specifically employs two nonlinear mathematical systems, namely the deterministic vector-borne dengue epidemic (DVBDE) and the stochastic vector-borne dengue epidemic (SVBDE) models, for numerical treatment. The objective is to simulate the dynamics of these models and ascertain their dynamic behavior. The VBDE model segmented the population into the following five classes: susceptible population, infected population, recovered population, susceptible mosquitoes, and the infected mosquitoes. The approximate solution for the dynamic evolution for each population is calculated by generating a significant number of scenarios varying the infected population’s recovery rate, human population birth rate, mosquitoes birth rate, contaminated people coming into contact with healthy people, the mortality rate of people, mosquitos population death rate and infected mosquito contact rate with population that is not infected.

The effect of welding parameters on the formation of single-sided U-rib fillet welds is investigated. This work has revealed that U-rib fillet weld penetration is presenting an upward trend as the welding current increases under specific welding conditions, and full penetration was observed at the current of 325 A. With the increasing distance between the filler wire and the root of the weld, the U-rib penetration reduces. As the torch angle increases during ship position welding, the U-rib penetration will first increase and then decrease. The weld formation of flat position welding is more stable and the U-rib weld penetration has been significantly improved.

The prime focus of this research is to encompass the inclusion of nonlinear variations in heat distribution, Newtonian boundary heating (NBH) effects, and the influence of thermo-convection alongside suction effects. Key parameters, including thermal buoyancy, Darcy porous medium effects, heat source/sink effects, Biot number, variable thermal index, and thermal convection factor, are comprehensively analyzed as these combining factors can play a crucial role in optimizing the efficacy of several systems such as heat exchanger, material processing and geothermal system that involve the concept of thermo-transportation mechanism. The physical flow dynamics are modeled, employing suitable similarity transformations, and subsequently translated into a dimensionless form. The ensuing collection of modified nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved by employing the Bvp4c solver bundled into the MATLAB program. Several parameters are scrutinized through graphical presentations to elucidate their impacts on the velocity curve, temperature curve, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt index. It is worth mentioning that the heat distribution profile significantly escalated for the rising values of several factors such as electric field parameter, varying thermal index, Biot number and shape factor, but the reverse is the pattern with suction and thermo-convection effect. Also, the thermal transportation rate at the proximity of the vertical cylindrical wall appears to exhibit an increment of about an average of 47% in SA-based Williamson hybrid nanofluid compared to Williamson fluid for thermo-convective effect, NBH, and thermal buoyancy. Furthermore, the proximate shear stress rate appears to be amplified by approximately 39% in Williamson hybrid nanofluid when contrasted with Williamson fluid for electric field parameter and thermo-convection effect alongside the raised Darcy–Forchheimer factor.</p>","PeriodicalId":18570,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141254264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
