Exact boundary observability for a kind of second-order quasilinear hyperbolic system

In this paper, by means of a constructive method based on the existence and uniqueness of the semi-global classical solution, we establish the local exact boundary observability for a kind of second-order quasilinear hyperbolic system in which the number of positive eigenvalues and the number of negative ones are not equal. As an application, we obtain the one-sided local exact boundary observability and two-sided local exact boundary observability with fewer observed values for first-order quasilinear hyperbolic systems of diagonal form with boundary conditions in which the diagonal variables corresponding to the positive eigenvalues and those corresponding to the negative ones are decoupled.     

On some unsteady flows of a non-Newtonian fluid

Some properties of unsteady unidirectional flows of a fluid of second grade are considered for flows impulsively started from rest by the motion of a boundary or two boundaries or by sudden application of a pressure gradient. Flows considered are: unsteady flow over a plane wall, unsteady Couette flow, flow between two parallel plates suddenly set in motion with the same speed, flow due to one rigid boundary moved suddenly and one being free, unsteady Poiseuille flow and unsteady generalized Couette flow. The results obtained are compared with those of the exact solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. It is found that the stress at time zero on the stationary boundary for the flows generated by impulsive motion of a boundary or two boundaries is finite for a fluid of second grade and infinite for a Newtonian fluid. Furthermore, it is shown that for unsteady Poiseuille flow the stress at time zero on the boundary is zero for a Newtonian fluid, but it is not zero for a fluid of second grade.     

Interactive computing methods for aeroelastic analysis of turbomachinery

An interaction viscous‐inviscid method for efficiently computing steady and unsteady viscous flows is presented. The inviscid domain is modeled using a finite element discretization of the full potential equation. The viscous region is modeled using a finite difference boundary layer technique. The two regions are simultaneously coupled using the transpiration approach. A time linearization technique is applied to this interactive method. For unsteady flows, the fluid is assumed to be composed of a mean or steady flow plus a harmonically varying small unsteady disturbance. Numerically exact nonreflecting boundary conditions are used for the far field conditions. Results for some steady and unsteady, laminar and turbulent flow problems are compared to linearized Navier‐Stokes or time‐marching boundary layer methods. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

In this paper, by means of a constructive method based on the existence and uniqueness of the semi-global C² solution, we establish the local exact boundary observability for a kind of second order quasilinear hyperbolic systems. As an application, we obtain the one-sided local exact boundary observability for a kind of first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems of diagonal form with boundary conditions in which the diagonal variables corresponding to the positive eigenvalues and those corresponding to the negative eigenvalues are decoupled.     

Global exact boundary observability for first‐order quasilinear hyperbolic systems of diagonal form

In this paper, by means of a constructive method based on the theory of the existence and the uniqueness of the C¹ solution to the Cauchy problem and the Goursat problem, the global exact boundary observability for the first‐order quasilinear hyperbolic systems of diagonal form with linearly degenerate characteristics is obtained. In the case that the system has no zero characteristics, we realize the two‐sided and one‐sided global exact boundary observability by the boundary observed values and obtain the observability inequality.

Modeling unsteady flow characteristics using smoothed particle hydrodynamics

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method has been extensively used to simulate unsteady free surface flows. The works dedicated to simulation of unsteady internal flows have been generally performed to study the transient start up of steady flows under constant driving forces and for low Reynolds number regimes. However, most of the fluid flow phenomena are unsteady by nature and at moderate to high Reynolds numbers. In this study, first a benchmark case (transient Poiseuille flow) is simulated to evaluate the ability of SPH to simulate internal transient flows at low and moderate Reynolds numbers (Re = 0.05, 500 and 1500). For this benchmark case, the performance of the two most commonly used formulations for viscous term modeling is investigated, as well as the effect of using the XSPH variant. Some points regarding using the symmetric form for pressure gradient modeling are also briefly discussed. Then, the application of SPH is extended to oscillating flows imposed by oscillating body force (Womersley type flow) and oscillating moving boundary (Stokes’ second problem) at different frequencies and amplitudes. There is a very good agreement between SPH results and exact solution even if there is a large phase lag between the oscillating pressure difference and moving boundary and the movement of the SPH particles generated. Finally, a modified formulation for wall shear stress calculations is suggested and verified against exact solutions. In all presented cases, the spatial convergence analysis is performed.     

Exact Boundary Controllability of Weak Solutions for a Kind of First Order Hyperbolic System — The Constructive Method*

In this paper the authors first present the definition and some properties of weak solutions to 1-D first order linear hyperbolic systems. Then they show that the constructive method with modular structure originally given in the framework of classical solutions is still very powerful and effective in the framework of weak solutions to prove the exact boundary (null) controllability and the exact boundary observability for first order hyperbolic systems.     

Contrôlabilité et observabilité unilatérales de systèmes hyperboliques quasi-linéaires

The known theory on the one-side exact boundary controllability and the one-side exact boundary observability for first-order quasilinear hyperbolic systems requires that the unknown variables should be suitably coupled in the boundary conditions at the non-control or non-observation side. In this Note we illustrate, with an inspiring example, that the one-side exact boundary controllability and the one-side exact boundary observability can still be realized by means of a suitable coupling among the unknown variables in the quasilinear hyperbolic system itself.

Exact observability and controllability for a nonsimple elastic rod

In this paper, we prove exact observability, boundary and internal exact controllability results for a nonsimple elastic rod. By the spectral analysis method, it is shown that the considered problem has a sequence of eigenfunctions, which forms a Riesz basis for the state space. The exact observability is proved by application of a modified version of Ingham’s Theorem. Then, via the Hilbert Uniqueness method, we prove a boundary controllability result with only one controller and an internal controllability result.

Exact Boundary Controllability of Electromagnetic Fields in a General Region

We prove exact controllability for Maxwell's system with variable coefficients in a bounded domain by a current flux in the boundary. The proof relies on a duality argument which reduces the proof of exact controllability to the proof of continuous observability for the homogeneous adjoint system. There is no geometric restriction imposed on the domain. Accepted 25 June 2001. Online publication 19 October 2001.
