A Finite Difference Scheme for Blow-Up Solutions of Nonlinear Wave Equations

<正>We consider a finite difference scheme for a nonlinear wave equation,whose solutions may lose their smoothness in finite time,i.e.,blow up in finite time.In order to numerically reproduce blow-up solutions,we propose a rule for a time-stepping, which is a variant of what was successfully used in the case of nonlinear parabolic equations.A numerical blow-up time is defined and is proved to converge,under a certain hypothesis,to the real blow-up time as the grid size tends to zero.

Sign-based Test for Mean Vector in High-dimensional and Sparse Settings

In this article, we introduce a robust sparse test statistic which is based on the maximum type statistic. Both the limiting null distribution of the test statistic and the power of the test are analysed. It is shown that the test is particularly powerful against sparse alternatives. Numerical studies are carried out to examine the numerical performance of the test and to compare it with other tests available in the literature. The numerical results show that the test proposed significantly outperforms those tests in a range of settings, especially for sparse alternatives.     

Nonconforming Finite Element Methods for the Constrained Optimal Control Problems Governed by Nonsmooth Elliptic Equations

In this paper,nonconforming finite element methods(FEMs)are proposed for the constrained optimal control problems(OCPs)governed by the nonsmooth elliptic equations,in which the popular EQr1 ot element is employed to approximate the state and adjoint state,and the piecewise constant element is used to approximate the control.Firstly,the convergence and superconvergence properties for the nonsmooth elliptic equation are obtained by introducing an auxiliary problem.Secondly,the goal-oriented error estimates are obtained for the objective function through establishing the negative norm error estimate.Lastly,the methods are extended to some other well-known nonconforming elements.

Unteady heat flow and temperature variation in human SST regions

The temperature distribution in human skin and subdermal tissue layer is presented using bioheat transfer equation. The body temperature is determined by the balance between heat produced and heat lost by our body. The time-dependent solutions have been found to be affected by the metabolic heat genaration rate, blood mass flow, the rate of evaporation of perspiration and also by the atmospheric temperature. The analytic solutions for different layers have been calculated numerically and are also shown graphically.     

Unsteady state heat flow in epidermis and dermis of a human body

We investigate the unsteady state temperature distribution in human skin where subcutaneous tissues are not present. The mathematical model is employed for a onedimensional unsteady state case, taking the blood mass flow rate and metabolic heat generation variable with respect to the position in the dermis. The metabolic heat generation depends on the tissue temperature. The thermal conductivity is taken constant but different in two layers. The problem has been solved using Laplace transform and Bessel functions. Numerical results for a simple case are discussed.     

Mathematical study of diffusive fluid transport and distribution in human dermal regions

This paper deals with mathematical study of diffusive fluid transport and distribution in human dermal parts. It accounts the intracellular fluid which continuously flows through the skin shells in order to maintain fluid balance within the body. A mathematical model is envisaged for this process and the finite element method (FEM) is employed to calculate the concentration of the fluid at different skin layers. This estimation is analyzed in relation with other parameters of the tissue medium and the atmosphere.     

Three dimensional finite element model to study heat flow in dermal regions of elliptical and tapered shape human limbs

In this paper a three-dimensional steady state model has been developed to study heat flow in dermal regions of tapered shape human limbs, which are elliptical in shape. The model incorporates the important biophysical parameters like blood mass flow rate, thermal conductivity and rate of metabolic heat generation. Appropriate boundary conditions have been framed using biophysical conditions. The finite element method has been employed using coaxial elliptical hexahedral elements to solve the problem. MATLAB 7.0 has been used to simulate the model and obtain numerical results.     

The extrapolation of Padé approximants in the closed-loop simulation of human thermoregulation

This paper presents a mathematical model of the human thermoregulatory system which has been developed to simulate the reaction of the human body to instantaneous changes in the temperature of the environment. The model combines two widely accepted approaches: the expression of heat flow within and from the human body in the form of partial differential equations, and the use of control theory. The closed-loop simulation is generated by introducing physical phenomena such as sweating, shivering, vasodilation and vasoconstriction, thus transforming the model equations into a system of nonlinear partial differential equations. The central difference operator is used to approximate spatial partial derivatives at a large number of mesh points, thus achieving high accuracy in the space dimension, and the problem is reduced to that of solving a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. A novel extrapolation algorithm, which copes well with the discontinuities between initial and boundary conditions caused by instantaneous environmental changes, is used to produce a high accuracy approximation in the time domain, and generate a solution to the problem. The model is used to simulate several important physical problems.     

The effect of conjugated and radiant heat exchange on the process of non-stationary combustion of the products of intense gasification of a solid in a stream of gas

This paper develops further the results obtained in /1–4/ and uses the approximate mathematical model /2/ of the combustion of the products of intense gasification of the neighbourhood of the leading stagnation point of the body to analyse the effect of the conjugation parameters on the heat exchange, radiation and other factors on the conditions of uniqueness and stability of the stationary combustion modes. When the gasification is carried out at a constant mass flow rate, an analogy is established, depending on the relations between the parameters of the problem, between the model in question and the models of a homogeneous chemical continuous action reactor with a fluidized catalyst layer, and a reactor with a temperature regulator /5/. Simple necessary conditions for the instability of the stationary modes and the appearance of selfexcited oscillations are obtained. A strong stabilizing influence of the conjugated heat exchange and intense injection on the combustion process is established, and a destablishing influence of radiant heat exchange is found.     

Free magnetohydrodynamic flow and convection from a vertical spinning cone with cross-diffusion effects

A study of cross-diffusion effects on convection from a vertically spinning cone under the influence of an external magnetic field is considered. The non-linear two-point boundary value problem governing the flow is solved numerically. Two different types of surface heating, namely linear surface temperature (LST) and linear surface heat flux (LSHF) are considered. A parametric study addressing the effects of various flow parameters on the fluid properties, the skin friction, heat and mass transfer coefficients is given.     

Mathematical modelling of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)

The heart is one of the most important and vital body organs, which is responsible for pumping blood to different body tissues. Abnormalities in each part of heart can lead to lack of proper blood circulation. The arterial duct is one of the most important parts of embryonic cycles which may provide the possibility of a relationship between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. The failure of this duct to close after birth causes the abnormality called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). In this article, we propose a novel model for accurate simulation of PDA abnormality in the human heart. The model is obtained by exploiting the mathematical relation between hemodynamic parameters of heart, including pressure, blood, volume and flow. The proposed model is verified using clinical data.     

Thermal control of Huygens mock up probe in Earth atmosphere: Thermo‐fluid dynamic simulation and mission data

A mock up of Huygens probe with 76 channels acquisition has been developed at University of Padova and successfully flown with a stratospheric space balloon from Italian Space Agency Base in Trapani on May 30th 2002. Temperature sensors have monitored temperature profiles in critical points of electronics, batteries and structure during raise at 40 km altitude, floating and parachuted descent. A thermal model of the probe has been implemented taking into consideration incoming external fluxes (solar direct, albedo and radiative heat fluxes), internal heat fluxes generation and convective heat transfer with atmosphere as a function of probe altitude. For the evaluation of convective fluxes and probe spinning rates an algebraic turbulent model, developed by the present authors, has been employed. This model is suitable to predict effects such as flow curvature and separation and solid boundary rotations. Simulation results have been utilized during project phase to optimize thermal paths in order to keep critical components in the allowable temperature range and for post flight analysis of mission data. These data show that passive thermal control of the probe has performed as expected contributing to a extremely successful scientific flight.     

Monitoring the temperature of a direct contact membrane distillation

This paper deals with the heat transfer monitoring occurring within an inaccessible membrane distillation system. The membrane separates heated sea water and filtered cooled drinkable water. By adjusting the temperature of the incoming heated sea water and knowing its temperature distribution, engineers can keep its temperature within its best operating parameters and avoid hot spots to form. This would help prolong its life cycle and minimize the cost of the distillation process. In particular, we show that an external observation is enough to reconstruct the temperature of the membrane, which is considered as an unknown source term in a parabolic system.
