Propagation of a long wave in a curved duct (I) basic analysis of long wave propagation in a curved duct with variable cross section

The propagation of a long wave in a three-dimensional curved duct with variable cross section is studied in this paper. It is shown that a three-dimensional Helmholtz equation can be decomposed into a two-dimensional Laplace (or Poisson) equation and a one-dimensional Webster equation by the curvilinear orthogonal coordinate system, non-dimensionization of reduced wave equation and regular perturbation with small parameterka, wherek is the wave number anda is the characteristic radius of the duct. The influences of the duct's geometric parameters (the area variation of the cross section, the curvature and torsion of the central line) on the asymptotic expansion of the solution are analysed. It is concluded that the effects of the variation of the cross sectional area first appear in the first term of the asymptotic expansion, and when the cross section shape has certain symmetric properties, the effects of the curvature and torsion of the central line first appear in the third and the fourth terms, respectively. An example of long wave propagation in a curved circular duct is also given at the end of this paper.     

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.     

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.

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.

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.     

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.

Asymptotic integration of elasto-plastic constitutive relation for isotropic hardening material and its computational precision

In this paper, an asymptotic expansion solution of the constitutive equation of hardening materials is presented. Its 1st asymptotic integration can give an approximate one with good enough accuracy and the second asymptotic one improves the precision of solutions further. The steps of its algorithms are fairly simple and clear, and its computational workload is considerably reduced. It can be easily incorporated into a general purpose finite element program.The Chinese original of this article was published in the Chinese edition ofActa Mechanica Solida Sinica, No. 1, 1986.     

Determination of the length of a short crack at a v-notch from a full field measurement

Determination of the length of a short crack at the root of a v-notch, from a full kinematic field measurement, is performed using a direct method. It is based on a matched asymptotic expansions procedure together with the theory of singularities. The first corrective term of the outer expansion can be straightforwardly expressed as a function of the crack length. Its extraction is achieved through the calculation of the associated generalized stress intensity factors for elastic homogeneous materials as well as bimaterials. Numerical simulations are carried out on a finite element solution disturbed by a random noise. In addition, the method used to compute the generalized stress intensity factors proved accurate and robust.

The effect of the roots of the characteristic equation is taken into account. The asymptotic behavior of the remainder is established depending on the asymptotics of the free term of the equation.

Solution of Smoluchowski coagulation equation for Brownian motion with TEMOM

The particle number density in the Smoluchowski coagulation equation usually cannot be solved as a whole, and it can be decomposed into the following two functions by similarity transformation: one is a function of time (the particle k-th moments), and the other is a function of dimensionless volume (self-preserving size distribution). In this paper, a simple iterative direct numerical simulation (iDNS) is proposed to obtain the similarity solution of the Smoluchowski coagulation equation for Brownian motion from the asymptotic solution of the k-th order moment, which has been solved with the Taylor-series expansion method of moment (TEMOM) in our previous work. The convergence and accuracy of the numerical method are first verified by comparison with previous results about Brownian coagulation in the literature, and then the method is extended to the field of Brownian agglomeration over the entire size range. The results show that the difference between the lognormal function and the self-preserving size distribution is significant. Moreover, the thermodynamic constraint of the algebraic mean volume is also investigated. In short, the asymptotic solution of the TEMOM and the self-preserving size distribution form a one-to-one mapping relationship; thus, a complete method to solve the Smoluchowski coagulation equation asymptotically is established.

Application of vector-valued rational approximations to a class of non-linear oscillations

By combining a perturbation technique with a rational approximation of vector-valued function, we propose a new approach to non-linear oscillations of conservative single-degree-of-freedom systems with odd non-linearity. The equation of motion does not require to contain a small parameter. First, the Lindstedt-Poincare perturbation method is used to obtain an asymptotic analytical solution. Then the range of validity of the analytical representation is extended by using the vector-valued rational approximation of functions. For constructing the rational approximations, all that is needed is the coefficients of the perturbation expansion being considered. General approximate formulas for period and the corresponding periodic solution of a non-linear system are established. Two examples are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Solution of the plane stress problems of strain-hardening materials described by power-law using the complex pseudo-stress function

In the present paper,the compatibility equation for the plane stress problems of power-law materials is transformed into a biharmonic equation by introducing the so-calledcomplex pseudo-stress function,which makes it possible to solve the elastic-plastic planestress problems of strain hardening materials described by power-law using the complexvariable function method like that in the linear elasticity theory.By using this generalmethod,the close-formed analytical solutions for the stress,strain and displacementcomponents of the plane stress problems’of power-law materials is deduced in the paper,which can also be used to solve the elasto-plastic plane stress problems of strain-hardeningmaterials other than that described by power-law.As an example,the problem of a power-law material infinite plate containing a circular hole under uniaxial tension is solved byusing this method,the results of which are compared with those of a known asymptoticanalytical solution obtained by the perturbation method.
