Holomorphic Maps from Sasakian Manifolds into K¨ahler Manifolds

The authors consider ±(Φ, J)-holomorphic maps from Sasakian manifolds into Ka¨hler manifolds, which can be seen as counterparts of holomorphic maps in Ka¨hler geometry. It is proved that those maps must be harmonic and basic. Then a Schwarz lemma for those maps is obtained. On the other hand, an invariant in its basic homotopic class is obtained. Moreover, the invariant is just held in the class of basic maps.

The main purpose of this paper is to establish the existence of multiple solutions for singular elliptic system involving the critical Sobolev-Hardy exponents and concave-convex nonlinearities.It is shown,by means of variational methods,that under certain conditions,the system has at least two positive solutions.     

A quantitative method for a priori evaluation of combustion reaction models

In recent years, direct numerical simulations have been used increasingly to evaluate the validity and performance of combustion reaction models. This study presents a new, quantitative method to determine the ideal model performance attainable by a given parameterization of the state variables. Data from direct numerical simulation (DNS) of unsteady CO/H₂–air jet flames is analysed to determine how well various parameterizations represent the data, and how well specific models based on those parameterizations perform. Results show that the equilibrium model performs poorly relative to an ideal model parameterized by the mixture fraction. The steady laminar flamelet model performs quite well relative to an ideal model parameterized by mixture fraction and dissipation rate in some cases. However, at low dissipation rates or at dissipation rates exceeding the steady extinction limit, the steady flamelet model performs poorly. Interestingly, even in many cases where the steady flamelet model fails (particularly at low dissipation rate), the DNS data suggests that the state may be parameterized well by the mixture fraction and dissipation rate. A progress variable based on the CO₂ mass fraction is proposed, together with a new model based on the CO₂ progress variable. This model performs nearly ideally, and demonstrates the ability to capture extinction with remarkable accuracy for the CO/H₂ flames considered.     

Stratified turbulent Bunsen flames: flame surface analysis and flame surface density modelling

In this paper it is investigated whether the Flame Surface Density (FSD) model, developed for turbulent premixed combustion, is also applicable to stratified flames. Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of turbulent stratified Bunsen flames have been carried out, using the Flamelet Generated Manifold (FGM) reduction method for reaction kinetics. Before examining the suitability of the FSD model, flame surfaces are characterized in terms of thickness, curvature and stratification.

All flames are in the Thin Reaction Zones regime, and the maximum equivalence ratio range covers 0.1?φ?1.3. For all flames, local flame thicknesses correspond very well to those observed in stretchless, steady premixed flamelets. Extracted curvature radii and mixing length scales are significantly larger than the flame thickness, implying that the stratified flames all burn in a premixed mode. The remaining challenge is accounting for the large variation in (subfilter) mass burning rate.

In this contribution, the FSD model is proven to be applicable for Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of stratified flames for the equivalence ratio range 0.1?φ?1.3. Subfilter mass burning rate variations are taken into account by a subfilter Probability Density Function (PDF) for the mixture fraction, on which the mass burning rate directly depends. A priori analysis point out that for small stratifications (0.4?φ?1.0), the replacement of the subfilter PDF (obtained from DNS data) by the corresponding Dirac function is appropriate. Integration of the Dirac function with the mass burning rate m=m(φ), can then adequately model the filtered mass burning rate obtained from filtered DNS data. For a larger stratification (0.1?φ?1.3), and filter widths up to ten flame thicknesses, a β-function for the subfilter PDF yields substantially better predictions than a Dirac function. Finally, inclusion of a simple algebraic model for the FSD resulted only in small additional deviations from DNS data, thereby rendering this approach promising for application in LES.     

Average Growth of the Spectral Function on a Riemannian Manifold

We study average growth of the spectral function of the Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold. Two types of averaging are considered: with respect to the spectral parameter and with respect to a point on a manifold. We obtain as well related estimates of the growth of the pointwise ζ-function along vertical lines in the complex plane. Some examples and open problems regarding almost periodic properties of the spectral function are also discussed.

Minimal contact CR submanifolds in S2n+1 satisfying the δ(2)-Chen equality

In his book on Pseudo-Riemannian geometry, $\delta$-invariants and applications, B.Y. Chen introduced a sequence of curvature invariants. Each of these invariants is used to obtain a lower bound for the length of the mean curvature vector for an immersion in a real space form. A submanifold is called an ideal submanifold, for that curvature invariant, if and only if it realizes equality at every point. The first such introduced invariant is called $\delta \left(2\right)$.On the other hand, a well known notion for submanifolds of Sasakian space forms, is the notion of a contact CR-submanifold. In this paper we combine both notions and start the study of minimal contact CR-submanifolds which are $\delta \left(2\right)$ ideal. We relate this to a special class of surfaces and obtain a complete classification in arbitrary dimensions.
