On averaged and normal form equations

The method of ayeraging has long been an important method for the analysis of nonlinear systems. One method using normal forms has more recently become a tool in applied mathematics. Both methods convert systems of ordinary differential equations to simpler equations by using a sequence of change of variables. This study can be interpreted as a local analysis in that it treats equations that are nonlinear perturbations of linear equations. We show that the two methods are essentially equivalent.This work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, Grant No. NSF/MEA 8310966. Deceased.

Coupled Groundwater Flow and Transport in Porous Media. A Conservative or Non-conservative Form?

A new formulation for the modeling of density coupled flow and transport in porous media is presented. This formulation is based on the development of the mass balance equation by using the conservative form. The system of equations obtained by coupling the flow and transport equations using a state equation is solved by a combination of the mixed hybrid finite element method (MHFEM) and the discontinuous finite element method (DFEM). The former is applied in order to solve the flow equation and the dispersive part of the transport equation, whilst the latter is used to solve the advective part of the transport equation. Although the advantages of the MHFEM are known (efficiency calculation of velocity field and continuity of fluxes from one element to an adjacent one), its application in a classical development form (volumetric fluxes as unknowns) leads to the non-conservative version of the mass balance equation. The associated matrix of the system of equations obtained by hybridization is positive definite but non-symmetrical. By using a new approach (mass fluxes as unknowns) the conservative form of the continuity equation is preserved and the associated matrix of the system of equations obtained by hybridization becomes symmetrical. When applied to Elder's problem involving a strong density contrast, this new approach, with a lower calculation cost, leads to similar or identical results to those found in the specialized literature. The comparison between the conservative and non-conservative formulations solved with the same MHFEM and DFEM combination emphasizes the rigor and the pertinence of this new approach. Furthermore, we show the existence of a limit refinement defining the stability of the numerical solution for Elder's problem.     

A New Method for Establishing Pseudo Orthogonal Properties of Eigenfunction Expansion Form in Fracture Mechanics

A new and simple method is developed to establish the pseudo orthogonal properties (POP) of the eigenfunction expansion form (EEF) of crack-tip stress complex potential functions for cracked anisotropic and piezoelectric materials, respectively. Di?erent from previous research, the complex argument separation technique is not required so that cumbersome manipulations are avoided. Moreover, it is shown, di?erent from the previous research too, that the orthogonal …

Disappearing Wakes and Dispersion in Numerically Simulated Flows Through Tube Bundles

Flow through a staggered array or bundle of parallel rigid cylinders of diameter D is computed with the help of a three-dimensional direct numerical simulation (DNS) at various values of Reynolds number between 50 and 6000. Two different spacings L of the tubes, i.e. L/D= 2 and L/D= 3, have been considered. When Re 500 the flow is laminar. In that case the converging flow between a pair of adjacent cylinders brings the oppositely signed vorticity at the two edges of the wake closer together behind the upstream cylinder so that the vorticity decreases quickly due to cancellation by diffusion. At Re 6000, when the flow is highly turbulent, the wake vorticity disappears rather by turbulent diffusion. This disappearance of the wakes in the closely packed flows (i.e. L/D 2) causes the mean flow in a cell, which consists of the region around a single cylinder, to be effectively independent of that in other cells. Another consequence is that the mean velocity field can be very well approximated by potential flow except in a thin boundary layer along the cylinder and a short wake behind it. The results have been applied to the transport of scalars in closely packed arrays. As in other complex flows, the dispersion of the scalars is dominated by the divergence and convergence of the streamlines around the cylinder rather than by the wake turbulence. Approximate expressions are derived for this topologically influenced dispersion in terms of the geometry of the array. The fact when most of the flow in the array can be approximated by a potential flow, allows us to introduce a fast approximate calculation method to compute the dispersion.

The Lindblad and Redfield forms derived from the Born–Markov master equation without secular approximation and their applications

In this paper, we derive the Lindblad and Redfield forms of the master equation based on the Born–Markov master equation with and without the secular approximation for open multi-level quantum systems. The coefficients of the equations are re-evaluated according to the scheme in[(2019), Phys. Rev. A 99, 022118]. They are complex numbers rather than the real numbers obtained from traditional simplified methods. The dynamics of two models(one is an open threelevel quantum system model, and the other is the model of phycoerythrin 545(PE545) in a photosynthesis system) are studied. It is shown that the secular approximation and the simplified real coefficients may cause a small distortion of the dynamics in some environments, but a large distortion of the dynamics in others. These effects are discussed and characterized by studying the dynamics of nontrivial instances of multi-level systems in the presence of dissipation.     

Challenge to ultra-trace analytical techniques of nuclear materials in environmental samples for safeguards at JAERI: methodologies for physical and chemical form estimation

From a viewpoint of physical and chemical form estimation, ultra-trace analytical techniques of nuclear materials in environmental samples for safeguards have been investigated at Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. This article deals with (1) an outline of the developed techniques for bulk and particle analyses of uranium and plutonium in the safeguards environmental samples; (2) current R&D on techniques relating to estimation of the physical and chemical form, such as SEM images and EDX spectra for fine particles of nuclear materials and fission track observation applicable to fissile materials; and (3) possible analytical methodologies, as future works, applicable to ultra-trace amounts of nuclear materials in environmental samples.
