On Three-Dimensional Dynamic Problems of Generalized Thermoelasticity

Lord–;Shulman's system of partial differential equations of generalized thermoelasticity [1] is considered, in which the finite velocity of heat propagation is taken into account by introducing a relaxation time constant. General aspects of the theory of boundary value and initial-boundary value problems and representation of solutions by series and quadratures are considered using the method of a potential.     

On acceleration waves in anisotropic thermoelastic media taking account of finiteness of the heat propagation velocity : PMM vol. 38, n 6, 1974, pp. 1098–1104

The propagation of acceleration waves in an anisotropic thermoelastic medium is studied. It is shown that taking account of the finiteness of the heat distribution velocity results in the appearance of four kinds of accelaration waves, whose velocities and damping coefficients depend in an essential way on the direction of wave surface propagation. A comparison between the velocities and damping coefficients of plane acceleration waves in a zinc crystal, obtained with and without the finiteness of the heat propagation velocity taken into account, is presented.The papers [1, 2] are devoted to the influence of the coupling of the strain and temperature fields on the nature of wave propagation in a homogeneous isotropic body in the case of an infinite heat distribution velocity. A number of features due to coupling of the fields is obtained therein, and it is shown in particular that weak and strong discontinuities damp out, and the order of damping is determined by an exponential factor.Taking account of finiteness of the heat distribution velocity results in the appearance of two kinds of longitudinal waves whose propagation velocities depend in an essential manner on the velocity of the heat perturbation [3, 4].     

The effect of thermal relaxation on rayleight surface waves in a thermoelastic medium

We study the problem of propagation of Rayleigh surface waves in thermoelastic media on the basis of the generalized coupled theory of thermoelasticity, which takes account of the phenomenon of thermal relaxation for sharply nonsteady thermal loads, thereby eliminating the paradox of infinite velocity of propagation of heat. It thus makes it possible to take account of the finite velocity of propagation of heat in the study of the process of propagation of Rayleigh surface waves.

On dynamic effects in an elastic half-space under “thermal impact” : PMM vol. 38, n 6, 1974, pp. 1105–1113

The general uncoupled dynamical problem of thermoelasticity for a half-space under the condition of a thermal impact with a finite rate of change in temperature on its boundary is solved by the method of principal (fundamental) functions within the framework of a generalized theory of heat conduction.An elastic steel half-space is analyzed as an illustration. The problem on thermal stresses originating in an elastic half-space due to thermal impact produced by a jump change in temperature on the boundary was first analyzed in [1]. Since the temperature change on the boundary occurs at a finite rate, it is generally impossible to realize the thermal impact considered in [1] physically. The dynamic effects in an elastic half-space under a thermal impact with finite rate of change in the temperature on the boundary have been studied in [2]. For high rates of change of the heat flux we obtain a generalized wave equation of heat conduction [3] taking into account the finite velocity of heat propagation. Hence, the solution of the ordinary parabolic heat conduction equation used in [1, 2] does not correspond to the true temperature field. The problems of [1, 2] have been examined in [4, 5], respectively, within the framework of a generalized theory of heat conduction.     

On the Analytic Solutions of a Special Boundary Value Problem for a Nonlinear Heat Equation in Polar Coordinates

The paper addresses a nonlinear heat equation (the porous medium equation) in the case of a power-law dependence of the heat conductivity coefficient on temperature. The equation is used for describing high-temperature processes, filtration of gases and fluids, groundwater infiltration, migration of biological populations, etc. The heat waves (waves of filtration) with a finite velocity of propagation over a cold background form an important class of solutions to the equation under consideration. A special boundary value problem having solutions of such type is studied. The boundary condition of the problem is given on a sufficiently smooth closed curve with variable geometry. The new theorem of existence and uniqueness of the analytic solution is proved.     

A projection-based stabilized finite element method for steady-state natural convection problem

We formulate a projection-based stabilization finite element technique for solving steady-state natural convection problems. In particular, we consider heat transport through combined solid and fluid media. This stabilization does not act on the large flow structures. Based on the projection stabilization idea, finite element error analysis of the problem is investigated and optimal errors for the velocity, temperature and pressure are established. We also present some numerical tests which both verify the theoretical predictions and demonstrate the method?s promise.

Dynamic adaptation for parabolic equations

A dynamic adaptation method is presented that is based on the idea of using an arbitrary time-dependent system of coordinates that moves at a velocity determined by the unknown solution. Using some model problems as examples, the generation of grids that adapt to the solution is considered for parabolic equations. Among these problems are the nonlinear heat transfer problem concerning the formation of stationary and moving temperature fronts and the convection-diffusion problems described by the nonlinear Burgers and Buckley-Leverette equations. A detailed analysis of differential approximations and numerical results shows that the idea of using an arbitrary time-dependent system of coordinates for adapted grid generation in combination with the principle of quasi-stationarity makes the dynamic adaptation method universal, effective, and algorithmically simple. The universality is achieved due to the use of an arbitrary time-dependent system of coordinates that moves at a velocity determined by the unknown solution. This universal approach makes it possible to generate adapted grids for time-dependent problems of mathematical physics with various mathematical features. Among these features are large gradients, propagation of weak and strong discontinuities in nonlinear transport and heat transfer problems, and moving contact and free boundaries in fluid dynamics. The efficiency is determined by automatically fitting the velocity of the moving nodes to the dynamics of the solution. The close relationship between the adaptation mechanism and the structure of the parabolic equations allows one to automatically control the nodes’ motion so that their trajectories do not intersect. This mechanism can be applied to all parabolic equations in contrast to the hyperbolic equations, which do not include repulsive components. The simplicity of the algorithm is achieved due to the general approach to the adaptive grid generation, which is independent of the form and type of the differential equations.     

Mathematical modeling of seismic and acousto-gravitational waves in a heterogeneous earth-atmosphere model

A numerical-analytical solution to problems of seismic and acoustic-gravitational wave propagation is applied to a heterogeneous Earth-Atmosphere model. The seismic wave propagation in an elastic half-space is described by a system of first order dynamic equations of the elasticity theory. The propagation of acoustic-gravitational waves in the atmosphere is described by the linearized Navier-Stokes equations. The algorithm proposed is based on the integral Laguerre transform with respect to time, the finite integral Bessel transform along the radial coordinate with a finite difference solution of the reduced problem along the vertical coordinate. The algorithm is numerically tested for the heterogeneous Earth-Atmosphere model for different source locations.     

Temperature waves in a rigid heat conductor

The propagation of acceleration-temperature waves in a rigid heat conductor is investigated. The theory employed allows temperature to travel with a finite wavespeed, and the full nonlinear theory is analysed. It is shown that various types of behaviour are possible for the amplitude of the wave, including one for which the amplitude becomes infinite in a finite time. Higher order temperature waves are also briefly discussed.     

On Wave Interactions II. Explosive Resonant Triads in Fluid Mechanics

This paper considers the occurrence of explosive resonant triads in fluid mechanics. These are weakly nonlinear waves whose amplitudes become unbounded in finite time. Previous work is expanded to include interfacial flow systems with continuously varying basic velocities and densities. The first paper in this series [10] discussed the surprisingly strong singular nature of explosive triads. Many of the problems to be studied here will be found to have additional singularities, and the techniques for analyzing these difficulties will be developed. This will involve the concept of a critical layer in a fluid, a level at which a wave phase speed equals the unperturbed fluid velocity in the direction of propagation. Examples of such waves in this context are presented.

Propagation of singularities in Cauchy problems for quasilinear thermoelastic systems in three space variables

By using microlocal analysis, the propagation of weak singularities in Cauchy problems for quasilinear thermoelastic systems in three space variables are investigated. First, paradifferential operators are employed to decouple the quasilinear thermoelastic systems. Second, by investigating the decoupled hyperbolic-parabolic systems and using the classical bootstrap argument, the property of finite propagation speeds of singularities in Cauchy problems for the quasilinear thermoelastic systems is obtained. Finally, it is shown that the microlocal weak singularities for Cauchy problems of the thermoelastic systems are propagated along the null bicharacteristics of the hyperbolic operators.     

Construction and Study of Exact Solutions to A Nonlinear Heat Equation

We construct and study exact solutions to a nonlinear second order parabolic equation which is usually called the “nonlinear heat equation” or “nonlinear filtration equation” in the Russian literature and the “porous medium equation” in other countries. Under examination is the special class of solutions having the form of a heat wave that propagates through cold (zero) background with finite velocity. The equation degenerates on the boundary of a heat wave (called the heat front) and its order decreases. The construction of these solutions by passing to an overdetermined system and analyzing its solvability reduces to integration of nonlinear ordinary differential equations of the second order with an initial condition such that the equations are not solvable with respect to the higher derivative. Some admissible families of heat fronts and the corresponding exact solutions to the problems in question are obtained. A detailed study of the global properties of solutions is carried out by the methods of the qualitative theory of differential equations and power geometry which are adapted for degenerate equations. The results are interpreted from the point of view of the behavior and properties of heat waves with a logarithmic front.     

Wave features for consistent-order-extended thermodynamics

Furthermore, our results are compared with the ones obtained in the context of Extended Thermodynamics at thirteen moments and with the experimental data. Finally, the propagation of acceleration waves is studied. The amplitude equation of the fastest mode is derived and the critical time is evaluated.

Heat equation with memory in anisotropic and non-homogeneous media

A modified Fourier’s law in an anisotropic and non-homogeneous media results in a heat equation with memory, for which the memory kernel is matrix-valued and spatially dependent. Different conditions on the memory kernel lead to the equation being either a parabolic type or a hyperbolic type. Well-posedness of such a heat equation is established under some general and reasonable conditions. It is shown that the propagation speed for heat pulses could be either infinite or finite, depending on the different types of the memory kernels. Our analysis indicates that, in the framework of linear theory, heat equation with hyperbolic kernel is a more realistic model for the heat conduction, which might be of some interest in physics.
