Self-similar asymptotics describing nonlinear waves in elastic media with dispersion and dissipation

Solutions of problems for the system of equations describing weakly nonlinear quasi-transverse waves in an elastic weakly anisotropic medium are studied analytically and numerically. It is assumed that dissipation and dispersion are important for small-scale processes. Dispersion is taken into account by terms involving the third derivatives of the shear strains with respect to the coordinate, in contrast to the previously considered case when dispersion was determined by terms with second derivatives. In large-scale processes, dispersion and dissipation can be neglected and the system of equations is hyperbolic. The indicated small-scale processes determine the structure of discontinuities and a set of admissible discontinuities (with a steady-state structure). This set is such that the solution of a self-similar Riemann problem constructed using solutions of hyperbolic equations and admissible discontinuities is not unique. Asymptotics of non-self-similar problems for equations with dissipation and dispersion were numerically found, and it appeared that they correspond to self-similar solutions of the Riemann problem. In the case of nonunique self-similar solutions, it is shown that the initial conditions specified as a smoothed step lead to a certain self-similar solution implemented as the asymptotics of the unsteady problem depending on the smoothing method.     

Example of a Gaussian Self-Similar Field With Stationary Rectangular Increments That Is Not a Fractional Brownian Sheet

We consider anisotropic self-similar random fields, in particular, the fractional Brownian sheet (fBs). This Gaussian field is an extension of fractional Brownian motion. It is well known that the fractional Brownian motion is a unique Gaussian self-similar process with stationary increments. The main result of this article is an example of a Gaussian self-similar field with stationary rectangular increments that is not an fBs. So we proved that the structure of self-similar Gaussian fields can be substantially more involved then the structure of self-similar Gaussian processes. In order to establish the main result, we prove some properties of covariance function for self-similar fields with rectangular increments. Also, using Lamperti transformation, we obtain properties of covariance function for the corresponding stationary fields.     

Converging strong shock waves in magnetogasdynamics under isothermal condition

The similarity solutions to the problem of cylindrically symmetric strong shock waves in an ideal gas with a constant azimuthal magnetic field are presented. The flow behind the shock wave is assumed to spatially isothermal rather than adiabatic. We use the method of Lie group invariance to determine the possible class of self-similar solutions. Infinitesimal generators of Lie group transformations are determined by using the invariance surface conditions to the system and on the basis of arbitrary constants occurring in the expressions for the generators, four different possible cases of the solutions are reckoned and we observed that only two out of all possibilities hold self-similar solutions, one of which follows the power law and another follows the exponential law. To obtain the similarity exponents numerical calculations have been performed and comparison is made with the existing results in the literature. The flow patterns behind the shock are analyzed graphically.

     

Special discontinuities in nonlinearly elastic media

Solutions of a nonlinear hyperbolic system of equations describing weakly nonlinear quasitransverse waves in a weakly anisotropic elastic medium are studied. The influence of small-scale processes of dissipation and dispersion is investigated. The small-scale processes determine the structure of discontinuities (shocks) and a set of discontinuities with a stationary structure. Among the discontinuities with a stationary structure, there are special ones that, in addition to relations following from conservation laws, satisfy additional relations required for the existence of their structure. In the phase plane, the structure of such discontinuities is represented by an integral curve joining two saddles. Special discontinuities lead to nonunique self-similar solutions of the Riemann problem. Asymptotics of non-self-similar problems for equations with dissipation and dispersion are found numerically. These asymptotics correspond to self-similar solutions of the problems.     

Self-Similar Solutions to a Kinetic Model for Grain Growth

We prove the existence of self-similar solutions to the Fradkov model for two-dimensional grain growth, which consists of an infinite number of nonlocally coupled transport equations for the number densities of grains with given area and number of neighbors (topological class). For the proof we introduce a finite maximal topological class and study an appropriate upwind discretization of the time-dependent problem in self-similar variables. We first show that the resulting finite-dimensional dynamical system admits nontrivial steady states. We then let the discretization parameter tend to zero and prove that the steady states converge to a compactly supported self-similar solution for a Fradkov model with finitely many equations. In a third step we let the maximal topology class tend to infinity and obtain self-similar solutions to the original system that decay exponentially. Finally, we use the upwind discretization to compute self-similar solutions numerically.     

Symmetries and solutions to geometrical flows

In this paper,we investigate group-invariant solutions to the hyperbolic geometric flow on Riemann surfaces,which include solutions of separation variables,traveling wave solutions,self-similar solutions and radial solutions.In the proceeding of reduction,there are elliptic,hyperbolic and mixed types of equations.For the first kind of equation,some exact solutions are found;while for the last two kinds,with implicit solutions found,we furthermore investigate whether there will be a global solution or blowing up.Referring to the work of Kong et al.(2009),the results come out perfectly.

A Relative Entropy and a Unique Continuation Result for Ricci Expanders

We prove an optimal relative integral convergence rate for two expanding gradient Ricci solitons coming out of the same cone. As a consequence, we obtain a unique continuation result at infinity and prove that a relative entropy for two such self-similar solutions to the Ricci flow is well-defined. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.     

Uniqueness of Self-Similar Solutions to the Network Flow in a Given Topological Class

This paper deals with the uniqueness, within a fixed topological class, of “tree-like” solutions to the evolution of networks by curve shortening flow. More precisely, we show that if for a given initial condition, there is a solution to the network flow that is tree-like and regular for positive times, then this solution is unique within its topological class. The result in particular applies to expanding self-similar solutions. The proof is based on the following Allen–Cahn approximation result: every regular tree-like solution to the network flow can be realized as the nodal set of a family of solutions to the Allen–Cahn equation. Then, the main result of this paper follows from the uniqueness of the “ε-level” solutions. The results in this paper deal only with uniqueness of solutions. The existence of solutions for the general class of initial conditions that we consider in this paper is unknown in most cases.     

Crocco variable formulation for uniform shear flow over a stretching surface with transpiration: Multiple solutions and stability

The simultaneous effects of transpiration through and tangential movement of a semi-infinite flat plate on the self-similar boundary layer flow driven by uniform shear in the far field is considered. Difficulties with standard shooting techniques are overcome using Crocco variables which also serve to better elucidate the solution structure. The stabilities of dual, triple and even quadruple steady flow solutions encountered in different ranges of plate stretching and wall stress are determined using a linear temporal stability analysis for the self-similar flow.      

New Exact Solutions of the Navier–Stokes Equations for Axisymmetric Automodel Flows of Fluids

We investigate self-similar solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for the axisymmetric flow of a viscous incompressible fluid. The original equations are transformed by the Slezkin method. On the basis of analysis of physical properties of the flow and the Slezkin general equation, we show that, in parallel with the known solutions of this equation, there exist several other solutions with physical meaning. We consider the simplest case of irrotational flows for which current lines may be circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. Unlike the Landau and Squire solutions, these flows are interpreted as nonjet flows of fluid flowing into and out of a homogeneous porous axially symmetric body.     

Instability of the self-similar flow into a cavity

In this paper we have investigated the instability of the self-similar flow behind the boundary of a collapsing cavity. The similarity solutions for the flow into a cavity in a fluid obeying a gas lawp = K_ρ ^γ, K = constant and 7 ≥ γ > 1 has been solved by Hunter, who finds that for the same value of γ there are two self-similar flows, one with accelerating cavity boundary and other with constant velocity cavity boundary. We find here that the first of these two flows is unstable. We arrive at this result only by studying the propagation of disturbances in the neighbourhood of the singular point.

The Self-similar Solution for Ginzburg-Landau Equation and Its Limit Behavior in Besov Spaces

In this paper, we study the limit behavior of self-similar solutions for the Complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equation in the nonstandard function space E_{s,p}. We prove the uniform existence of the solutions for the CGL equation and its limit equation in E_{s,p}. Moreover we show that the self-similar solutions of CGL equation converge, globally in time, to those of its limit equation as the parameters tend to zero. Key Words Ginzburg-Landau equation; Schrödinger equation; self-similar solution; limit behavior.     

On front solutions of the saturation equation of two-phase flow in porous media

We investigate the existence of “front” solutions of the saturation equation of two-phase flow in porous media. By front solution we mean a monotonic solution connecting two different saturations. The Brooks–Corey and the van Genuchten models are used to describe the relative-permeability – and capillary pressure–saturation relationships. We show that two classes of front solutions exist: self-similar front solutions and travelling-wave front solutions. Self-similar front solutions exist only for horizontal displacements of fluids (without gravity). However, travelling-wave front solutions exist for both horizontal and vertical (including gravity) displacements. The stability of front solutions is confirmed numerically.

The convergence rate is also computed in details.
