In this study, an implicit UGKS is proposed for the steady state solution of diatomic gas flows based on a multiple-temperature Boltzmann model equation with non-equilibrium among translational, rotational and vibrational modes (Zhang et al., 2023), utilizing a novel hybrid Cartesian-unstructured discrete velocity space (DVS) mesh approach. The multiple-temperature macroscopic equations corresponding to the Boltzmann model equation are simultaneously solved implicitly to address the stiffness and nonlinearity of the collision operator encountered when solving the Boltzmann model equation in isolation. Both macroscopic equations and Boltzmann model equation are solved by using the point relaxation symmetric Gauss–Seidel method to achieve a fast convergence rate. The efficiency of the implicit UGKS can be improved by about two orders of magnitude compared to the explicit one. Moreover, the hybrid Cartesian-unstructured DVS achieves a noteworthy reduction in both CPU-hours and memory consumption, requiring only 15%<span><math><mo>∼</mo></math></span>23% of the advanced unstructured DVS.

A series of test cases, including normal shock structures, two-dimensional hypersonic flows around cylinder, blunt wedge and flat plate, and three-dimensional hypersonic flows around a sphere and an X38-like configuration vehicle, are conducted to validate the implicit UGKS with hybrid Cartesian-unstructured DVS.

However, before attempting it, much theoretical work needs to be done to figure out how it could work. Human phonation is a complex and highly non-linear fluid–structure interaction process for the onset of regular self-oscillations of the vocal folds to produce voice. Such oscillations can become chaotic for even moderate changes in the physical parameters of the folds or the subglottal pressure. Traditionally, low-dimensional biomechanical mass models have been used to understand the intricacies of both normal and abnormal phonation. In this framework, the possibility of devising a mass–spring–damper pacemaker capable of regulating chaotic oscillations of the vocal folds, which uses an altering energy feedback control strategy acting on the pacemaker damping, was recently analyzed. However, phonation can undergo several perturbations and it is necessary to test the robustness of the pacemaker against them. This is the objective of this work. Two types of disturbances are considered: random and periodic. The former are associated with glottal flow turbulence and also with muscle twitches, which are partially responsible for voice jitter. The second are related to vocal tremor and are often found in patients with paresis, Parkinson’s disease or adductor spasmodic dysphonia, among others. Using tools for the analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems, it will be demonstrated that the pacemaker can respond quite well to random and periodic perturbations, supporting its potential for partial remedy of voice pathologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50658,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142322157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome these difficulties, a sort of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional related to switching delays is introduced. Simultaneously, the technique of convex combination is applied to tackle a variety of time-varying terms including transition probabilities (TPs), probability distribution function and probability density function (PDF). Then, a time-invariant stability criterion superior to many relevant works in conservativeness is obtained to ensure mean-square exponential stability (MES). Based on this result, time-invariant conditions for mean square exponential stability of the controlled system are also attained by the continuous feedback control. Subsequently, to stand on the point of cost reduction, an aperiodically intermittent control (AIC) is adopted in such a system and a stability criterion is attained as well under more relaxed restrictions on relative parameters.
