Coupled flow and heat transfer in viscoelastic fluid with Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model

This letter presents a research for coupled flow and heat transfer of an upper-convected Maxwell fluid above a stretching plate with velocity slip boundary. Unlike most classical works, the new heat flux model, which is recently proposed by Christov, is employed. Analytical solutions are obtained by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of elasticity number, slip coefficient, the relaxation time of the heat flux and the Prandtl number on velocity and temperature fields are analyzed. A comparison of Fourier’s Law and the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model is also presented.     

Quantization of Donaldson’s heat flow over projective manifolds

Consider E a holomorphic vector bundle over a projective manifold X polarized by an ample line bundle L. Fix k large enough, the holomorphic sections \(H^0(E\otimes L^k)\) provide embeddings of X in a Grassmanian space. We define the balancing flow for bundles as a flow on the space of projectively equivalent embeddings of X. This flow can be seen as a flow of algebraic type hermitian metrics on E. At the quantum limit \(k\rightarrow \infty \), we prove the convergence of the balancing flow towards the Donaldson heat flow, up to a conformal change. As a by-product, we obtain a numerical scheme to approximate the Yang–Mills flow in that context.     

A probabilistic approach to the Yang–Mills heat equation

We construct a parallel transport U in a vector bundle E, along the paths of a Brownian motion in the underlying manifold, with respect to a time dependent covariant derivative ∇ on E, and consider the covariant derivative ∇₀U of the parallel transport with respect to perturbations of the Brownian motion. We show that the vertical part U⁻¹∇₀U of this covariant derivative has quadratic variation twice the Yang–Mills energy density (i.e., the square norm of the curvature 2-form) integrated along the Brownian motion, and that the drift of such processes vanishes if and only if ∇ solves the Yang–Mills heat equation. A monotonicity property for the quadratic variation of U⁻¹∇₀U is given, both in terms of change of time and in terms of scaling of U⁻¹∇₀U. This allows us to find a priori energy bounds for solutions to the Yang–Mills heat equation, as well as criteria for non-explosion given in terms of this quadratic variation.     

Homotopy perturbation based linearization of nonlinear heat transfer dynamic

In this paper a new linearization procedure based on Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) will be presented. The procedure begins with solving nonlinear differential equation by HPM. This will be done by evaluation of the time response of a nonlinear dynamic. An equivalent Laplace transform of the time response will be obtained. In the preceding, the effect of an external excitation i.e. input, will be removed from the model to find an approximate linear model for the nonlinear dynamic. The effectiveness of the procedure is verified using a heat transfer nonlinear equation. Ultimately, both HPM based linear model and that of nonlinear have been controlled via a closed loop PID controller. The simulation result shows the significance of the proposed technique.     

Weak–strong uniqueness for heat conducting non-Newtonian incompressible fluids

In this work, we introduce a notion of dissipative weak solution for a system describing the evolution of a heat-conducting incompressible non-Newtonian fluid. This concept of solution is based on the balance of entropy instead of the balance of energy and has the advantage that it admits a weak–strong uniqueness principle, justifying the proposed formulation. We provide a proof of existence of solutions based on finite element approximations, thus obtaining the first convergence result of a numerical scheme for the full evolutionary system including temperature dependent coefficients and viscous dissipation terms. Then we proceed to prove the weak–strong uniqueness property of the system by means of a relative energy inequality.     

Quenching rates for heat equations with coupled singular nonlinear boundary flux

We study finite time quenching for heat equations coupled via singular nonlinear bound-ary flux. A criterion is proposed to identify the simultaneous and non-simultaneous quenchings. In particular, three kinds of simultaneous quenching rates are obtained for different nonlinear exponent re-gions and appropriate initial data. This extends an original work by Pablo, Quir′os and Rossi for a heat system with coupled inner absorption terms subject to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions.     

Analysis of Maxwell–Stefan systems for heat conducting fluid mixtures

The global-in-time existence of bounded weak solutions to the Maxwell–Stefan–Fourier equations in Fick–Onsager form is proved. The model consists of the mass balance equations for the partial mass densities and the energy balance equation for the total energy. The diffusion and heat fluxes depend linearly on the gradients of the thermo-chemical potentials and the gradient of the temperature and include the Soret and Dufour effects. The cross-diffusion system exhibits an entropy structure, which originates from the thermodynamic modeling. The lack of positive definiteness of the diffusion matrix is compensated by the fact that the total mass density is constant in time. The entropy estimate yields the a.e. positivity of the partial mass densities and temperature. Also diffusion matrices are considered that degenerate for vanishing partial mass densities.     

Addenda to “The entropy formula for linear heat equation”

We add two sections to [8] and answer some questions asked there. In the first section we give another derivation of Theorem 1.1 of [8], which reveals the relation between the entropy formula, (1.4) of [8], and the well-known Li-Yau ’s gradient estimate. As a by-product we obtain the sharp estimates on ‘Nash’s entropy’ for manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. We also show that the equality holds in Li-Yau’s gradient estimate, for some positive solution to the heat equation, at some positive time, implies that the complete Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature is isometric to ℝ ⁿ .In the second section we derive a dual entropy formula which, to some degree, connects Hamilton’s entropy with Perelman ’s entropy in the case of Riemann surfaces.     

Optimal energy decay in a one-dimensional coupled wave–heat system

We study a simple one-dimensional coupled wave–heat system and obtain a sharp estimate for the rate of energy decay of classical solutions. Our approach is based on the asymptotic theory of C ₀-semigroups and in particular on a result due to Borichev and Tomilov (Math Ann 347:455–478, 2010), which reduces the problem of estimating the rate of energy decay to finding a growth bound for the resolvent of the semigroup generator. This technique not only leads to an optimal result, it is also simpler than the methods used by other authors in similar situations.     

Numerical scheme for augmented Landau–Lifshitz equation in heat assisted recording

The motivation of heat assisted recording is to improve the thermal stability of recorded data bits by increasing the strength of the uniaxial anisotropy. During the recording process the medium is heated by a laser, reducing the coercivity and allowing the head to write data bits. We present a micromagnetic model based on the augmented Landau–Lifshitz equation taking into account a phenomenological power-law describing the dependence of the saturation magnetization on the temperature. A full-discrete numerical scheme is presented and the convergence of approximate solutions to a weak one is shown.     

High-order compact solution of the one-dimensional heat and advection–diffusion equations

In this work, we propose a high-order accurate method for solving the one-dimensional heat and advection–diffusion equations. We apply a compact finite difference approximation of fourth-order for discretizing spatial derivatives of these equations and the cubic C¹$C^1$-spline collocation method for the resulting linear system of ordinary differential equations. The cubic C¹$C^1$-spline collocation method is an A-stable method for time integration of parabolic equations. The proposed method has fourth-order accuracy in both space and time variables, i.e. this method is of order O(h⁴,k⁴)$O(h^4\text{,}{k}^4)$. Additional to high-order of accuracy, the proposed method is unconditionally stable which will be proved in this paper. Numerical results show that the compact finite difference approximation of fourth-order and the cubic C¹$C^1$-spline collocation method give an efficient method for solving the one-dimensional heat and advection–diffusion equations.     

Energy identity of the heat flow of H-systems at finite singular time

It is well known that there exists a global solution to the heat flow of H-systems.If the solution satisfies a certain energy inequality,it is global regular with at most finitely many singularities. Under the same energy inequality,we can show the energy identity of the heat flow of H-systems at finite singular time.The most interesting thing in our proof is that we find the singular points can only occur in the interior of the set in some sense.     

A heat equation on some adic completions of ℚ and ultrametric analysis

For each finite set S of prime numbers there exists a unique completion ? _S of ?, which is a second countable, locally compact and totally disconnected topological ring. This topological ring has a natural ultrametric that allows to define a pseudodifferential operator D ^α and to study an abstract heat equation on the Hilbert space L ²(? _S ). The fundamental solution of this equation is a normal transition function of a Markov process on ? _S . The techniques developed provides a general framework for these kind of problems on different ultrametric groups.

Weighted Poincaré inequality and heat kernel estimates for finite range jump processes

It is well-known that there is a deep interplay between analysis and probability theory. For example, for a Markovian infinitesimal generator \({\mathcal{L}}\) , the transition density function p(t, x, y) of the Markov process associated with \({\mathcal{L}}\) (if it exists) is the fundamental solution (or heat kernel) of \({\mathcal{L}}\) . A fundamental problem in analysis and in probability theory is to obtain sharp estimates of p(t, x, y). In this paper, we consider a class of non-local (integro-differential) operators \({\mathcal{L}}\) on \({\mathbb{R}^d}\) of the form

$\mathcal{L}u(x) = \lim\limits_{{\varepsilon \downarrow 0}} \int\limits_{\{y\in \mathbb {R}^d: \, |y-x| > \varepsilon\}} (u(y)-u(x)) J(x, y) dy,$

where \({\displaystyle J(x, y)= \frac{c (x, y)}{|x-y|^{d+\alpha}} {\bf 1}_{\{|x-y| \leq \kappa\}}}\) for some constant \({\kappa > 0}\) and a measurable symmetric function c(x, y) that is bounded between two positive constants. Associated with such a non-local operator \({\mathcal{L}}\) is an \({\mathbb{R}^d}\) -valued symmetric jump process of finite range with jumping kernel J(x, y). We establish sharp two-sided heat kernel estimate and derive parabolic Harnack principle for them. Along the way, some new heat kernel estimates are obtained for more general finite range jump processes that were studied in (Barlow et al. in Trans Am Math Soc, 2008). One of our key tools is a new form of weighted Poincaré inequality of fractional order, which corresponds to the one established by Jerison in (Duke Math J 53(2):503–523, 1986) for differential operators. Using Meyer’s construction of adding new jumps, we also obtain various a priori estimates such as Hölder continuity estimates for parabolic functions of jump processes (not necessarily of finite range) where only a very mild integrability condition is assumed for large jumps. To establish these results, we employ methods from both probability theory and analysis extensively.

     

On Segal�CBargmann analysis for finite Coxeter groups and its heat kernel

We prove identities involving the integral kernels of three versions (two being introduced here) of the Segal?CBargmann transform associated to a finite Coxeter group acting on a finite dimensional, real Euclidean space (the first version essentially having been introduced around the same time by Ben Sa?d and ?rsted and independently by Soltani) and the Dunkl heat kernel, due to R?sler, of the Dunkl Laplacian associated with the same Coxeter group. All but one of our relations are originally due to Hall in the context of standard Segal?CBargmann analysis on Euclidean space. Hall??s results (trivial Dunkl structure and arbitrary finite dimension) as well as our own results in???-deformed quantum mechanics (non-trivial Dunkl structure, dimension one) are particular cases of the results proved here. So we can understand all of these versions of the Segal?CBargmann transform associated to a Coxeter group as Hall type transforms. In particular, we define an analogue of Hall??s Version C generalized Segal?CBargmann transform which is then shown to be Dunkl convolution with the Dunkl heat kernel followed by analytic continuation. In the context of Version C we also introduce a new Segal?CBargmann space and a new transform associated to the Dunkl theory. Also we have what appears to be a new relation in this context between the Segal?CBargmann kernels for Versions A and C.
