Comparison of ODE methods for laminar reacting gas flow simulations

Two‐dimensional transient simulations are presented of the transport phenomena and multispecies, multireaction chemistry in chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The transient simulations are run until steady state, such that the steady state can be validated against the steady state solutions from literature. We compare various time integration methods in terms of efficiency and robustness. Besides stability, which is important due to the stiffness of the problem, preservation of non‐negativity is crucial. It appears that this latter condition on a time integration method is much more restrictive toward the time step size than stability. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Coupled Amplitude-Streaming Flow Equations for Nearly Inviscid Faraday Waves in Small Aspect Ratio Containers

Summary. We derive a set of asymptotically exact coupled amplitude-streaming flow ({CASF}) equations governing the evolution of weakly nonlinear nearly inviscid multimode Faraday waves and the associated streaming flow in finite geometries. The streaming flow is found to play a particularly important role near mode interactions. Such interactions come about either through a suitable choice of parameters or through breaking of degeneracy among modes related by symmetry. An example of the first case is provided by the interaction of two nonaxisymmetric modes in a circular container with different azimuthal wavenumbers. The second case arises when the shape of the container is changed from square to slightly rectangular, or from circular to slightly noncircular but with a plane of symmetry. The generation of streaming flow in each of these cases is discussed in detail and the properties of the resulting CASF equations are described. A preliminary analysis suggests that these equations can resolve discrepancies between existing theory and experimental results in the first two of the above cases.

Positive solutions of Neumann problems with singularities

In this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions to second order singular equations with Neumann boundary conditions. The proof of the main result relies on a nonlinear alternative principle of Leray-Schauder, together with a truncation technique.     

Numerical simulations of the steady Navier–Stokes equations using adaptive meshing schemes

In this paper, we consider an adaptive meshing scheme for solution of the steady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations by finite element discretization. The mesh refinement and optimization are performed based on an algorithm that combines the so‐called conforming centroidal Voronoi Delaunay triangulations (CfCVDTs) and residual‐type local a posteriori error estimators. Numerical experiments in the two‐dimensional space for various examples are presented with quadratic finite elements used for the velocity field and linear finite elements for the pressure. The results show that our meshing scheme can equally distribute the errors over all elements in some optimal way and keep the triangles very well shaped as well at all levels of refinement. In addition, the convergence rates achieved are close to the best obtainable. Extension of this approach to three‐dimensional cases is also discussed and the main challenge is the efficient implementation of three‐dimensional CfCVDT generation that is still under development.

On the vanishing viscosity method for first order differential-functional IBVP

We consider the initial-boundary value problem for first order differential-functional equations. We present the ‘vanishing viscosity’ method in order to obtain viscosity solutions. Our formulation includes problems with a retarded and deviated argument and differential-integral equations. Supported by KBN grant 2 PO3A, 01811.     

Constructing all magic squares of order three

We find by applying MacMahon's partition analysis that all magic squares of order three, up to rotations and reflections, are of two types, each generated by three basis elements. A combinatorial proof of this fact is given.     

Abstract Volterra operators

We propose a new general definition of Volterra operators. Several types of evolutionary operators, including Volterra ones in the sense of A.N. Tikhonov, satisfy this definition. For equations with generalized Volterra operators we introduce the notions of local, global, and maximally extended solutions. For solutions to nonlinear equations we formulate the existence, uniqueness, and extendability conditions. The theorems proved in this paper imply both known and new results on the solvability of concrete equations. We adduce an example of the application of obtained results to the study of the Cauchy problem for functional differential equations.
