A finite element method is given to obtain the solution in terms of velocity and induced magnetic field for the steady MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) flow through a rectangular pipe having arbitrarily conducting walls. Linear and then quadratic approximations have been taken for both velocity and magnetic field for comparison and it is found that with the quadratic approximation it is possible to increase the conductivity and Hartmann number M (M ≤ 100). A special solution procedure has been used for the resulting block tridiagonal system of equations. Computations have been carried out for several values of Hartmann number (5 ≤ M ≤ 100) and wall conductivity. It is also found that, if the wall conductivity increases, the flux decreases. The same is the effect of increasing the Hartmann number. Selected graphs are given showing the behaviour of the velocity field and induced magnetic field.

Bound state solution of the Schrodinger equation for Mie potential Sever, Ramazan; Bucurgat, Mahmut; TEZCAN, CEVDET; Yesiltas, Oezlem (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-02-01) Exact solution of Schrodinger equation for the Mie potential is obtained for an arbitrary angular momentum. The energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wavefunctions are calculated by the use of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. Wavefunctions are expressed in terms of Jacobi polynomials. The bound states are calculated numerically for some values of l and n with n <= 5. They are applied to several diatomic molecules.
Error estimates for space-time discontinuous Galerkin formulation based on proper orthogonal decomposition Akman, Tuğba (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) In this study, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method is applied to diffusion-convection-reaction equation, which is discretized using spacetime discontinuous Galerkin (dG) method. We provide estimates for POD truncation error in dG-energy norm, dG-elliptic projection, and spacetime projection. Using these new estimates, we analyze the error between the dG and the POD solution, and the error between the exact and the POD solution. Numerical results, which are consistent with theoretical convergence ra...
A coupled numerical scheme of dual reciprocity BEM with DQM for the transient elastodynamic problems Bozkaya, Canan (Wiley, 2008-11-12) The two-dimensional transient elastodynamic problems are solved numerically by using the coupling of the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) in spatial domain with the differential quadrature method (DQM) in time domain. The DRBEM with the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation transforms the domain integrals into the boundary integrals that contain the first- and the second-order time derivative terms. Thus, the application of DRBEM to elastodynamic problems results in a system of second...
Supersymmetric solutions of PT-/non-PT-symmetric and non-Hermitian screened Coulomb potential via Hamiltonian hierarchy inspired variational method Faridfathi, Gholamreza; Sever, Ramazan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-10-01) The supersymmetric solutions of PT -symmetric and Hermitian/non-Hermitian forms of quantum systems are obtained by solving the Schrodinger equation for the Exponential-Cosine Screened Coulomb potential. The Hamiltonian hierarchy inspired variational method is used to obtain the approximate energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions.
Bound states of a more general exponential screened Coulomb potential Ikhdair, Sameer M.; Sever, Ramazan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-05-01) An alternative approximation scheme has been used in solving the Schrodinger equation to the more general case of exponential screened Coulomb potential, V(r) = -(a/r)[1 + (1 + br)e(-2br)]. The bound state energies of the 1s, 2s and 3s-states, together with the ground state wave function are obtained analytically upto the second perturbation term.
