Conservation laws for laminar axisymmetric jet flows with weak swirl

The conservation laws for laminar axisymmetric jet flows with weak swirl are studied here. The multiplier approach is used to derive the conservation laws for the system of three boundary layer equations for the velocity components governing flow in laminar axisymmetric jet flows with weak swirl. Conservation laws for the system of two partial differential equations for the stream function are also derived.     

Conservation laws and conserved quantities for laminar two-dimensional and radial jets

A systematic way to derive the conserved quantities for the liquid jet, free jet and wall jet using conservation laws is presented. Both two-dimensional and radial jets are considered. The jet flows are described by Prandtl’s momentum boundary layer equation and the continuity equation. The multiplier approach (also know as variational derivative approach) is first applied to construct a basis of conserved vectors for the system. The basis consists of two conserved vectors. By integrating the corresponding conservation laws across the jet and imposing the boundary conditions, conserved quantities are derived for the liquid jet and the free jet. The multiplier approach is then applied to construct a basis of conserved vectors for the third-order partial differential equation for the stream function. The basis consists of two local conserved vectors one of which is a non-local conserved vector for the system. The conserved quantities for the free jet and the wall jet are derived from the corresponding conservation laws and boundary conditions. The approach gives a unified treatment to the derivation of conserved quantities for jet flows and may lead to a new classification of jets through conserved vectors and their multipliers.     

Group invariant solution for a free jet on a hemi-spherical shell

When two circular jets impinge upon each other along the axis of a hemi-spherical shell then a free jet on a hemi-spherical shell is formed. The governing equations are Prandtl’s momentum boundary layer equation and the continuity equation. The conserved quantity is required for the free jet on a hemi-spherical shell. The conserved quantity for the free jet on a hemi-spherical shell is established with the help of a conserved vector. The group invariant solution for the third-order partial differential equation for the stream function is constructed.     

Conservation laws and symmetries of semilinear radial wave equations

Classifications of symmetries and conservation laws are presented for a variety of physically and analytically interesting wave equations with power nonlinearities in n spatial dimensions: a radial hyperbolic equation, a radial Schrödinger equation and its derivative variant, and two proposed radial generalizations of modified Korteweg-de Vries equations, as well as Hamiltonian variants. The mains results classify all admitted local point symmetries and all admitted local conserved densities depending on up to first order spatial derivatives, including any that exist only for special powers or dimensions. All such cases for which these wave equations admit, in particular, dilational energies or conformal energies and inversion symmetries are determined. In addition, potential systems arising from the classified conservation laws are used to determine nonlocal symmetries and nonlocal conserved quantities admitted by these equations. As illustrative applications, a discussion is given of energy norms, conserved Hs norms, critical powers for blow-up solutions, and one-dimensional optimal symmetry groups for invariant solutions.     

Invariant solution for an axisymmetric turbulent free jet using a conserved vector

An axisymmetric turbulent free jet described by an effective viscosity, which is the sum of the kinematic viscosity and the kinematic eddy viscosity, is investigated. The conservation laws of the jet are derived using the multiplier method. A second conserved vector, in addition to the elementary conserved vector, exists provided the effective viscosity has a special form. The Lie point symmetry associated with the elementary conserved vector is obtained and used to generate the invariant solution. The analytical solution is derived when the effective viscosity depends only on the distance along the jet. The numerical solution is obtained when the effective viscosity depends also on the distance across the jet. The eddy viscosity causes an apparent increase in the viscosity of the mean flow which produces an increase in the width of the jet due to an increase in diffusion and also a decrease in the maximum mean velocity along the axis of the jet.

On the Number of Conserved Quantities for the Two-Layer Shallow-Water Equations

The shallow-water equations for two-layer inviscid flow with a free surface overlying a rigid horizontal bottom subject to gravitational forcing only are examined to determine the possible forms of conservation laws that the equations permit. In the case of a single layer with flow in only one horizontal direction, it is known that there are an infinite number of associated equations in conservation form, where the conserved quantity is a multinomial in the layer variables. The method used to determine this result is generalized to show that in the two-layer case, the result does not generalize, and it is discovered that only a finite number of conservation equations exist when the density difference between the layers is nonzero. The subsequent conservation equations are given explicitly, and a systematic method for deriving conservation laws from an arbitrary first-order system is described. For the case when the flow is in both horizontal dimensions, the method of analysis is straightforward in the one-layer case, and the finite number of conservation equations are derived. The two-layer case is similar, and the finite number of generalized conserved quantities are stated, although the question of whether or not there are only a finite number is posed as an open question.     

Conservation Laws For the (1+2)-Dimensional Wave Equation in Biological Environment

The derivation of conservation laws for the wave equation on sphere, cone and flat space is considered. The partial Noether approach is applied for wave equation on curved surfaces in terms of the coefficients of the first fundamental form (FFF) and the partial Noether operator's determining equations are derived. These determining equations are then used to construct the partial Noether operators and conserved vectors for the wave equation on different surfaces. The conserved vectors for the wave equation on the sphere, cone and flat space are simplified using the Lie point symmetry generators of the equation and conserved vectors with the help of the symmetry conservation laws relation.     

Conservation laws for a complexly coupled KdV system,coupled Burgers’ system and Drinfeld–Sokolov–Wilson system via multiplier approach

The multiplier approach (variational derivative method) is used to derive the conservation laws for some nonlinear systems of partial differential equations. Firstly, the multipliers (characteristics) are computed and then conserved vectors are obtained for the each multiplier. Examples of the third-order complexly coupled KdV system, second-order coupled Burgers’ system and third-order Drinfeld–Sokolov–Wilson system are considered. For all three systems the local conservation laws are established by utilizing the multiplier approach.     

Approximate Noether-type symmetries and conservation laws via partial Lagrangians for PDEs with a small parameter

We show how one can construct approximate conservation laws of approximate Euler-type equations via approximate Noether-type symmetry operators associated with partial Lagrangians. The ideas of the procedure for a system of unperturbed partial differential equations are extended to a system of perturbed or approximate partial differential equations. These approximate Noether-type symmetry operators do not form a Lie algebra in general. The theory is applied to the perturbed linear and nonlinear (1+1) wave equations and the Maxwellian tails equation. We have also obtained new approximate conservation laws for these equations.

Astrophysical Dynamics and Cosmology

First, the essence of a physical theory for a multilevel system is through coupling different physical laws in different levels by a symmetry-breaking principle, rather than through a unification using larger symmetry. In astrophysical dynamics, the symmetry-breaking mechanism and the coupling are achieved by prescribing the coordinate system so that the laws of fluid dynamics and heat conductivity are coupled with gravitational field equations. Another important ingredient in modeling fluid motion in astrophysics is to use the momentum density field to replace the velocity field as the state function of cosmic objects. Second, by applying the new symmetry-breaking mechanism and the new coupled astrophysical dynamics model, we rigorously prove a basic theorem on black holes: Assume the validity of the Einstein theory of general relativity, then black holes are closed, innate and incompressible. Third, we prove a theorem on structure of universes. Assume the Einstein theory of general relativity, and the principle of cosmological principle that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic. Then we show that 1) all universes are bounded, are not originated from a Big-Bang, and are static; and 2) The topological structure of our Universe can only be the 3D sphere. Also, thanks to the basic properties of black holes, we show that our results on our Universe resolve such fundamental problems as dark matter and dark energy, redshifts and CMB. Fourth, we discovered that both supernovae explosion and AGN jets, as well as many astronomical phenomena, are due to combined relativistic, magnetic and thermal effects. The radial temperature gradient causes vertical Bénard convection cells, and the relativistic viscous force (via electromagnetic, the weak and the strong interactions) gives rise to an huge explosive radial force near the Schwarzschild radius, leading e.g. to supernovae explosion and AGN jets.     

Conservation laws for Camassa–Holm equation, Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation and generalized Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation

In this paper we construct the conservation laws for the Camassa–Holm equation, the Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation (DGH) and the generalized Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation (generalized DGH). The variational derivative approach is used to derive the conservation laws. Only first order multipliers are considered. Two multipliers are obtained for the Camassa–Holm equation. For the DGH and generalized DGH equations the variational derivative approach yields two multipliers; thus two conserved vectors are obtained.     

A conservative formulation for plasticity

In this paper we propose a fully conservative form for the continuum equations governing rate-dependent and rate-independent plastic flow in metals. The conservation laws are valid for discontinuous as well as smooth solutions. In the rate-dependent case, the evolution equations are in divergence form, with the plastic strain being passively convected and augmented by source terms. In the rate-independent case, the conservation laws involve a Lagrange multiplier that is determined by a set of constraints; we show that Riemann problems for this system admit scale-invariant solutions.     

Enhanced Symmetry Analysis of Two-Dimensional Burgers System

We carry out enhanced symmetry analysis of a two-dimensional Burgers system. The complete point symmetry group of this system is found using an enhanced version of the algebraic method. Lie reductions of the Burgers system are comprehensively studied in the optimal way and new Lie invariant solutions are constructed. We prove that this system admits no local conservation laws and then study hidden conservation laws, including potential ones. Various kinds of hidden symmetries (continuous, discrete and potential ones) are considered for this system as well. We exhaustively describe the solution subsets of the Burgers system that are its common solutions with its inviscid counterpart and with the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations. Using the method of differential constraints, which is particularly efficient for the Burgers system, we construct a number of wide families of solutions of this system that are expressed in terms of solutions of the (\(1+1\))-dimensional linear heat equation although they are not related to the well-known linearizable solution subset of the Burgers system.

     

Classification of Local Conservation Laws of Maxwell's Equations

A complete and explicit classification of all independent local conservation laws of Maxwell's equations in four dimensional Minkowski space is given. Besides the elementary linear conservation laws, and the well-known quadratic conservation laws associated to the conserved stress-energy and zilch tensors, there are also chiral quadratic conservation laws which are associated to a new conserved tensor. The chiral conservation laws possess odd parity under the electric–magnetic duality transformation of Maxwell's equations, in contrast to the even parity of the stress-energy and zilch conservation laws. The main result of the classification establishes that every local conservation law of Maxwell's equations is equivalent to a linear combination of the elementary conservation laws, the stress-energy and zilch conservation laws, the chiral conservation laws, and their higher order extensions obtained by replacing the electromagnetic field tensor by its repeated Lie derivatives with respect to the conformal Killing vectors on Minkowski space. The classification is based on spinorial methods and provides a direct, unified characterization of the conservation laws in terms of Killing spinors.     

Computational fluid dynamics modelling of gas jets impinging onto liquid pools

Gas jets impinging onto a gas–liquid interface of a liquid pool are studied using computational fluid dynamics modelling, which aims to obtain a better understanding of the behaviour of the gas jets used metallurgical engineering industry. The gas and liquid flows are modelled using the volume of fluid technique. The governing equations are formulated using the density and viscosity of the “gas–liquid mixture”, which are described in terms of the phase volume fraction. Reynolds averaging is applied to yield a set of Reynolds-averaged conservation equations for the mass and momentum, and the k–ε turbulence model. The deformation of the gas–liquid interface is modelled by the pressure jump across the interface via the Young–Laplace equation. The governing equations in the axisymmetric cylindrical coordinates are solved using the commercial CFD code, FLUENT. The computed results are compared with experimental and theoretical data reported in the literature. The CFD modelling allows the simultaneous evaluation of the gas flow field, the free liquid surface and the bulk liquid flow, and provides useful insight to the highly complex, and industrially significant flows in the jetting system.     

A Runge-Kutta/WENO method for solving equations for small-amplitude wave propagation in a saturated elastic porous medium

A high-accuracy Runge-Kutta/WENO method of up to fourth order with respect to time and fifth order with respect to space is developed for the numerical modeling of small-amplitude wave propagation in a steady fluid-saturated elastic porous medium. A system of governing equations is derived from a general thermodynamically consistent model of a compressible fluid flow through a saturated elastic porous medium, which is described by a hyperbolic system of conservation laws with allowance for finite deformations of the medium. The results of numerical solution of one- and two-dimensional wave fields demonstrate the efficiency of the method.     

Conservation laws and exact solutions of the Whitham-type equations

Furthermore, the invariance properties of the conserved flows with respect to the Lie point symmetry generators are investigated via the symmetry action on the multipliers. Furthermore, the similarity reductions and some exact solutions are provided.
