Seepage-Diffusion Model of Brine Migration in Inhomogeneous Aquifers

A new phenomenological mathematical model of the propagation of high- and low-salinity solutions through inhomogeneous aquifers is proposed. The model consists of interrelated equations of two-phase flow and diffusive mass transfer through a porous medium in a region with a traveling boundary. Features of different contamination scenarios of are analyzed with reference to particular examples.

A numerical simulation on diffuser‐nozzle based piezoelectric micropumps with two different numerical models

This study has been conducted to compare two different numerical models for the evaluation of the performance characteristics of a diffuser‐nozzle based piezoelectric micropump. Here, the transient displacements of the membrane and the flow characteristics in the piezoelectric micropump have been closely investigated with the FSI model and the prescribed deformation model for two different frequencies. It has been found that the behaviour of the membrane computed with the FSI model is not in accordance with that with the prescribed deformation model, and that the net flow rate with the FSI model is larger than that with the prescribed deformation model. Therefore, the choice of numerical model is very important in conducting numerical analysis for piezoelectric micropumps. The results of this study can be utilized as basic data for the design and analysis of piezoelectric micropumps. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On the stochastic porous medium equation

In this paper, we discuss an initial-boundary value problem and a Cauchy problem for the stochastic porous medium equation. Our basic estimates are based on the known results due to (Math. Sbornik 67 (1965) 609-642, Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 25 (1967) 64-80). By the procedure developed in (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 354 (2001) 1117-1135), we obtain solutions over the given probability space rather than martingale solutions. We will also establish the existence of invariant measures when the space domain is bounded.     

Mass optimization of a compressed cylindrical shell with limited life

A new optimization model is proposed to design corrosion-affected structures with limited life. The optimization problem is stated as a nonlinear-programming problem. The mass of the structure is minimized. The design is considered optimal when physical wear and obsolescence arrive simultaneously. A smooth cylindrical shell compressed in the longitudinal direction is used to illustrate the model __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 3, pp. 97–101, March 2006.     

Mathematical analysis of radionuclides displacement in porous media with nonlinear adsorption

This paper is devoted to the mathematical analysis of the miscible displacement of a set of radionuclides in a flow occurring in a heterogeneous porous medium. The flow is governed by Darcy's law, and the motion of the chemical species is given by a nonclassical advection-diffusion-reaction equations system. The novelty of the model lies in the adsorption phenomenon that leads to a time derivative of a nonlinear term in these equations. A semi-discretization method is used to establish the existence of weak solutions to this system. Uniform L^∞-estimates on the solutions are specified.     

TEMPERATURE PROFILES OF LOCAL THERMAL NONEQUILIBRIUM FOR THERMAL DEVELOPING FORCED CONVECTION IN POROUS MEDIUM PARALLEL PLATE CHANNEL

Based on the two-energy equation model, taking into account viscous dissipation due to the interaction between solid skeleton and pore fluid flow, temperature expressions of the solid skeleton and pore fluid flow are obtained analytically for the thermally developing forced convection in a saturated porous medium parallel plate channel, with walls being at constant temperature. It is proved that the temperatures of the two phases for the local thermal nonequilibrium approach to the temperature derived from the one-energy equation model for the local thermal equilibrium when the heat exchange coefficient goes to infinite. The temperature profiles are shown in figures for different dimensionless parameters and the effects of the parameters on the local thermal nonequilibrium are revealed by parameter study.
