On the boundary layer methods

In this paper, the defect of the traditionary boundary layer methods (including the method of matched asymptotic expansions and the method of Visik-Lyusternik) is noted, from those methods we can not construct the asymptotic expansion of boundary layer term substantially. So the method of multiple scales is proposed for constructing the asymptotic expansion of boundary layer term, the reasonable result is obtained. Furthermore, we compare this method with the method used by Levinson, and find that both methods give the same asymptotic expansion of boundary layer term, but our method is simpler.Again, we apply this method to study some known works on singular perturbations. The limitations of those works have been noted, and the asymptotic expansion of solution is constructed in general condition.     

Perturbation solutions for asymmetric laminar flow in porous channel with expanding and contracting walls

The cases of large Reynolds number and small expansion ratio for the asym- metric laminar flow through a two-dimensional porous expanding channel are considered. The Navier-Stokes equations are reduced to a nonlinear fourth-order ordinary differential equation by introducing a time and space similar transformation. A singular perturbation method is used for the large suction Reynolds case to obtain an asymptotic solution by matching outer and inner solutions. For the case of small expansion ratios, we are able to obtain asymptotic solutions by double parameter expansion in either a small Reynolds number or a small asymmetric parameter. The asymptotic solutions indicate that the Reynolds number and expansion ratio play an important role in the flow behavior. Nu- merical methods are also designed to confirm the correctness of the present asymptotic solutions.     

Effect of Heat Generation on Forced Convection Through a Porous Saturated Duct

The effect of heat generation on the flow characteristics of the fully developed forced convection through a porous duct is investigated analytically on the basis of Brinkman?CForchheimer model. The duct is bounded by two isoflux plates. For solving momentum equation a regular asymptotic expansion method is used for hyper-porous materials and a matched asymptotic expansion method is used for low-porous materials. This solution permits a uniform solution for the energy equation to find the temperature distribution as well as Nusselt number. A numerical solution is found here to check the accuracy of the asymptotic one.     

Singular perturbation solution of boundary-value problem for a secord-order differential-difference equation

In this paper, the method of two-variables expansion is used to construct boundary layer terms of asymptotic solution of the boundary-value problem for a second-order DDE. The n-order formal asymptotic solution is obtained and the error is estimated. Thus the existence of uniformly valid asymptotic solution is proved.     

A theoretical analysis of forced convection in a porous-saturated circular tube: Brinkman–Forchheimer model

Fully developed forced convection inside a circular tube filled with saturated porous medium and with uniform heat flux at the wall is investigated on the basis of a Brinkman–Forchheimer model. The matched asymptotic expansion method is applied at small Darcy numbers. For large Darcy numbers, the solution for the Brinkman–Forchheimer momentum equation is found in terms of an asymptotic expansion. Once the velocity distribution is determined, the energy equation is solved using the same asymptotic technique. The results for the two limiting cases of clear fluid and Darcy flow conditions show good agreement with those available in the literature.     

Development of a swirling jet in infinite space

We examine the problem of swirling-jet development in an infinite space filled with the same fluid. The fourth term of the asymptotic expansion of the tangential-velocity component is obtained. The constant appearing in the solution is obtained semlempirically. Results are presented of calculations of the velocities and pressure in swirling jets and of experimental studies.Swirling jet flows play an important role in the process of combustion intensification and stabilization and are widely used in engineering.The formulation and first solution of the problem of swirling-jet development in an infinite space filled with the same fluid at rest were accomplished by Loitsyanskii [1], who found the first two terms of the asymptotic expansion of the solution of the boundary-layer equations. The third and fourth terms of the asymptotic expansion of the axial-velocity component were found in [2], which made it possible to study the effect of jet swirl on the axial-velocity-component profile.In the present study we obtain the fourth term of the asymptotic expansion of the tangential-velocity component and present results of experimental studies on swirling jets.The authors wish to thank L. G. Loitsyanskii for valuable comments.     

A uniform asymptotic analysis of dispersive wave motion across a space-time shadow boundary

The one dimensional Klein-Gordon equation with spatially varying coefficients and with amplitude modulated high frequency signaling data is analyzed. A formal uniformly valid asymptotic expansion of the solution across a space-time shadow boundary is obtained with the help of two families of rays. These rays may also give rise to shadow regions. The asymptotic expansion involves three functions, a Fresnel function and two successive Bessel functions of integer order.

Higher order topological derivatives in elasticity

The topological derivative provides the variation of a response functional when an infinitesimal hole of a particular shape is introduced into the domain. In this work, we compute higher order topological derivatives for elasticity problems, so that we are able to obtain better estimates of the response when holes of finite sizes are introduced in the domain. A critical element of our algorithm involves the asymptotic approximation for the stress on the hole boundary when the hole size approaches zero; it consists of a composite expansion that is based on the responses of elasticity problems on the domain without the hole and on a domain consisting of a hole in an infinite space. We present a simple example in which the higher order topological derivatives of the total potential energy are obtained analytically and by using the proposed asymptotic expansion. We also use the finite element method to verify the topological asymptotic expansion when the analytical solution is unknown.     

Uniform asymptotics for the linearized Boltzmann equation describing sound wave propagation

The multiple-scale expansionmethod is used for constructing a uniformly applicable asymptotic approximation of the solution of the linearized Boltzmann equation for small Knudsen numbers. The asymptotic expansion is constructed for the particular example of a sound wave generated by a plane oscillation source and dissipating in a half-space. The simplicity of the problem makes it possible clearly to demonstrate the appearance of secular terms in the expansion and the introduction of multiple scales opens the way to eliminating them.     

Dynamic system for reference signal transmission and reconstruction in distributed MIMO radars

The renormalization method based on the Taylor expansion for asymptotic analysis of differential equations is generalized to difference equations. The proposed renormalization method is based on the Newton–Maclaurin expansion. Several basic theorems on the renormalization method are proven. Some interesting applications are given, including asymptotic solutions of quantum anharmonic oscillator and discrete boundary layer, the reductions and invariant manifolds of some discrete dynamics systems. Furthermore, the homotopy renormalization method based on the Newton–Maclaurin expansion is proposed and applied to those difference equations including no a small parameter. In addition, some subtle problems on the renormalization method are discussed.

Summary A further term is found in the asymptotic expansion suggested by Stewartson for the eigenvalues arising in perturbations about the Blasius solution. The method employed is that of matched asymptotic expansions, and good agreement is obtained with the numerical results of Libby.     

Moment Lyapunov exponent for three-dimensional system under real noise excitation

The pth moment Lyapunov exponent of a two-codimension bifurcation system excited parametrically by a real noise is investigated. By a linear stochastic transformation, the differential operator of the system is obtained. In order to evaluate the asymptotic expansion of the moment Lyapunov exponent, via a perturbation method, a ralevant eigenvalue problem is obtained. The eigenvalue problem is then solved by a Fourier cosine series expansion, and an infinite matrix is thus obtained, whose leading eigenvalue is the second-order of the asymptotic expansion of the moment Lyapunov exponent. Finally, the convergence of procedure is numerically illustrated, and the effects of the system and the noise parameters on the moment Lyapunov exponent are discussed.     

On the problems of buckling of an annular thin plate

In this paper, problems of buckling of an annular thin plate under the action of in-plane pressure and transverse load are studied by using the method of multiple scales. We obtain N-order uniformly valid asymptotic expansion of the solution. In the latter part of this paper we discuss a particular example, and calculate the critical value of in-plane pressure. We see that the asymptotic expansion obtained by the multiple scales is completely consistent with that of the exact solution.     

A justification of nonlinear properly invariant plate theories

A single asymptotic derivation of three classical nonlinear plate theories is presented in a setting which preserves the frame-invariance properties of three-dimensional finite elasticity. By a successive scaling of the external loading on the three-dimensional body, the nonlinear membrane theory, the nonlinear inextensional theory and the von Kármán equations are derived as the leading-order terms in the asymptotic expansion of finite elasticity. The governing equations of the nonlinear inextensional theory are of particular interest where 1) plane-strain kinematics and plane-stress constitutive equations are derived simultaneously from the asymptotic analysis, 2) the theory can be phrased as a minimization problem over the space of isometric deformations of a surface, and 3) the local equilibrium equations are identical to those arising in the one-director Cosserat shell model. Furthermore, it can be concluded that with a regular, single-scale asymptotic expansion it is not possible to obtain a system of plate equations in which finite membrane strain and finite bending strain occur simultaneously in the leading-order term of an asymptotic analysis.     

WAVELET-BASED ESTIMATORS OF MEAN REGRESSION FUNCTION WITH LONG MEMORY DATA

This paper provides an asymptotic expansion for the mean integrated squared error (MISE) of nonlinear wavelet-based mean regression function estimators with long memory data. This MISE expansion, when the underlying mean regression function is only piecewise smooth, is the same as analogous expansion for the kernel estimators. However, for the kernel estimators, this MISE expansion generally fails if the additional smoothness assumption is absent.     

Interfacial viscoelastic SH waves

Shear horizontal waves, in the form of transient perturbations, are considered at the interface between two different viscoelastic solids. The admissibility of these interfacial waves is studied via the asymptotic expansion of the Laplace transform of the viscoelastic kernel. The compatibility condition is reduced to a set of algebraic systems which can be solved iteratively to the desired order in the asymptotic expansion. Two classes of solutions are found which correspond to transient waves decaying away from the interface and attenuated along the propagation direction. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the results.
