On the local semiconcavity of the solutions of the eikonal equation

We show that if the Hamiltonian is locally semiconvex with respect to the state variables and strictly convex with respect to the gradient then every viscosity solution of the eikonal equation is locally semiconcave. Furthermore, in the 1D case, we show that every viscosity solution of the eikonal equation is semiconcave if and only if the Hamiltonian is Lipschitz continuous with respect to the state variable.     

Melting heat and mass transfer in stagnation point micropolar fluid flow of temperature dependent fluid viscosity and thermal conductivity at constant vortex viscosity

Steady mixed convection micropolar fluid flow towards stagnation point formed on horizontal linearly stretchable melting surface is studied. The vortex viscosity of micropolar fluid along a melting surface is proposed as a constant function of temperature while dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity are temperature dependent due to the influence of internal heat source on the fluid. Similarity transformations were used to convert the governing equation into non-linear ODE and solved numerically. A parametric study is conducted. An analysis of the results obtained shows that the flow-field is influenced appreciably by heat source, melting, velocity ratio, variable viscosity and thermal conductivity.     

Nonlinear stability and chaos in electrohydrodynamics

Using the method of multiple scales, the nonlinear instability problem of two superposed dielectric fluids is studied. The applied electric filed is taken into account under the influence of external modulations near a point of bifurcation. A time varying electric field is superimposed on the system. In addition, the viscosity and variable gravity force are considered. A generalized equation governing the evolution of the amplitude is derived in marginally unstable regions of parameter space. A bifurcation analysis of the amplitude equation is carried out when the dissipation due to viscosity and the control parameter are both assumed to be small. The solution of a nonlinear equation in which parametric and external excitations are obtained analytically and numerically. The method of generalized synchronization is applied to determine the equations that describe the modulation of the amplitude and phase. These equations are used to determine the steady state equations. Frequency response curves are presented graphically. The stability of the proposed solution is determined applying Liapunov's first method. Numerical solutions are presented graphically for the effects of the different equation parameters on the system stability, response and chaos.     

Generalized Burgers Equations Transformable to the Burgers Equation

Using the mappings which involve first‐order derivatives, the Burgers equation with linear damping and variable viscosity is linearized to several parabolic equations including the heat equation, by applying a method which is a combination of Lie’s classical method and Kawamota’s method. The independent variables of the linearized equations are not t, x but z(x, t), τ(t) , where z is the similarity variable. The linearization is possible only when the viscosity Δ(t) depends on the damping parameter α and decays exponentially for large t . And the linearization makes it possible to pose initial and/or boundary value problems for the Burgers equation with linear damping and exponentially decaying viscosity. Bäcklund transformations for the nonplanar Burgers equation with algebraically decaying viscosity are also reported.

In this paper, we consider the 2D Boussinesq system with variable kinematic viscosity in the velocity equation and with weak damping effect to instead of the regularity effect for the thermal conductivity. Even if without thermal diffusion in the temperature equation, we establish the global well‐posedness for the 2D Boussinesq system with general initial data.     

Convergence Rate to Stationary Solutions for Boltzmann Equation with External Force

For the Boltzmann equation with an external force in the form of the gradient of a potential function in space variable, the stability of its stationary solutions as local Maxwellians was studied by S. Ukai et al. (2005) through the energy method. Based on this stability analysis and some techniques on analyzing the convergence rates to stationary solutions for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, in this paper, we study the convergence rate to the above stationary solutions for the Boltzmann equation which is a fundamental equation in statistical physics for non-equilibrium rarefied gas. By combining the dissipation from the viscosity and heat conductivity on the fluid components and the dissipation on the non-fluid component through the celebrated H-theorem, a convergence rate of the same order as the one for the compressible Navier-Stokes is obtained by constructing some energy functionals.

Based on the BT, the exact solution of the (3+1)-dimensional K-P equation is given. By the same method, we derive a BT and the solution to (2+1)-dimensional K-P equation. The variable coefficients can change the amplitude of solitary wave, but cannot change the form of solitary wave.

The effects of chemical reaction,Hall and ion-slip currents on MHD flow with temperature dependent viscosity and thermal diffusivity

In this paper, the problem of magneto-micropolar fluid flow, heat and mass transfer with suction and blowing through a porous medium is analyzed numerically. This problem was studied under the effects of chemical reaction, Hall, ion-slip currents, variable viscosity and variable thermal diffusivity. The governing fundamental equations are approximated by a system of non-linear ordinary differential equation. This system is solved numerically by using the Chebyshev pseudospectral method. Details of the velocities, temperature and concentration fields as well as the local skin-friction, the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number for the various values of the parameters of the problem are presented. The numerical results indicate that, the concentration decreases as the permeability parameter, the chemical reaction parameter and Schmidt number increase and it increases as variable viscosity and variable thermal diffusivity increase. The local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number decrease as the magnetic field and ion-slip current parameters increase, whereas they increase as Hall current parameter increases. Also, there is a (non-linear) strong dependency of the concentration gradient at the wall on both Schmidt number and the mass transfer parameter.     

Unsteady Couette flows in a second grade fluid with variable material properties

Fluid solid mixtures are generally considered as second grade fluids and are modeled as fluids with variable physical parameters. Thus, an analysis is performed for a second grade fluid with space dependent viscosity, elasticity and density. Two types of time-dependent flows are investigated. An eigen function expansion method is used to find the velocity distribution. The obtained solutions satisfy the boundary and initial conditions and the governing equation. Remarkably some exact analytic solutions are possible for flows involving second grade fluid with variable material properties in terms of trigonometric and Chebyshev functions.

Regularity of Viscous Solutions for a Degenerate Non-linear Cauchy Problem

We consider the Cauchy problem for a class of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation with forcing. By using the vanishing viscosity method it is possible to construct a generalized solution. Moreover, this solution is a Lipschitz function on the spatial variable and Hölder continuous with exponent 1/2 on the temporal variable.     

On the dynamic programming principle for uniformly nondegenerate stochastic differential games in domains and the Isaacs equations

We prove the dynamic programming principle for uniformly nondegenerate stochastic differential games in the framework of time-homogeneous diffusion processes considered up to the first exit time from a domain. In contrast with previous results established for constant stopping times we allow arbitrary stopping times and randomized ones as well. There is no assumption about solvability of the the Isaacs equation in any sense (classical or viscosity). The zeroth-order “coefficient” and the “free” term are only assumed to be measurable in the space variable. We also prove that value functions are uniquely determined by the functions defining the corresponding Isaacs equations and thus stochastic games with the same Isaacs equation have the same value functions.     

Hamilton-Jacobi theory over time scales and applications to linear-quadratic problems

In this paper we first derive the verification theorem for nonlinear optimal control problems over time scales. That is, we show that the value function is the only solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, in which the minimum is attained at an optimal feedback controller. Applications to the linear-quadratic regulator problem (LQR problem) gives a feedback optimal controller form in terms of the solution of a generalized time scale Riccati equation, and that every optimal solution of the LQR problem must take that form. A connection of the newly obtained Riccati equation with the traditional one is established. Problems with shift in the state variable are also considered. As an important tool for the latter theory we obtain a new formula for the chain rule on time scales. Finally, the corresponding LQR problem with shift in the state variable is analyzed and the results are related to previous ones.     

Well-posedness of thermal boundary layer equation in two-dimensional incompressible heat conducting flow with analytic datum

In this paper, we study the well-posedness of the thermal boundary layer equation in two-dimensional incompressible heat conducting flow. The thermal boundary layer equation describes the behavior of thermal layer and viscous layer for the two-dimensional incompressible viscous flow with heat conduction in the small viscosity and heat conductivity limit. When the initial datum are analytic, with respect to the tangential variable of the boundary, and without the monotonicity condition of the tangential velocity, by using the Littlewood-Paley theory, we obtain the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of solution to this thermal boundary layer problem.
