Abstract: Heat transfer in porous materials is of great importance for various natural, biological, and industrial processes. For the large difference between the microscopic and macroscopic dimensions, the volume averaging method ...

Abstract: This paper considers the problem on formation tracking control of second-order multi-agent systems (MASs) with communication time-varying delay. Sufficient conditions on the directed interaction topology and existence of ...

Abstract: Bed-load transport in natural rivers exhibits nonlinear dynamics with strong temporal memory (i.e., retention due to burial) and/or spatial memory (i.e., fast displacement driven by turbulence). Nonlinear bed-load transport ...
