Invariant region on a non-isentropic gas dynamics system

In this paper, we found a special non-isentropic gas dynamics system, whose invariant region is the opposite of the corresponding isentropic case. This shows that the powerful invariant region theory introduced by Chueh, Conley and Smoller for general hyperbolic system of two conservation laws cannot be obviously applied to obtain the a priori $L^{\infty }$ estimates for systems of more than two equations.     

Stable invariant manifolds for parabolic dynamics

We consider nonautonomous equations v^′=A(t)v in a Banach space that exhibit stable and unstable behaviors with respect to arbitrary growth rates ecρ(t) for some function ρ(t). This corresponds to the existence of a “generalized” exponential dichotomy, which is known to be robust. When ρ(t)≠t this behavior can be described as a type of parabolic dynamics. We consider the general case of nonuniform exponential dichotomies, for which the Lyapunov stability is not uniform. We show that for any sufficiently small perturbation f of a “generalized” exponential dichotomy there is a stable invariant manifold for the perturbed equation v^′=A(t)v+f(t,v). We also consider the case of exponential contractions, which allow a simpler treatment, and we show that they persist under sufficiently small nonlinear perturbations.     

Strong entropy for system of isentropic gas dynamics

In this paper, we study three special families of strong entropy-entropy flux pairs （η0, q0）, （η±, q±）, represented by different kernels, of the isentropic gas dynamics system with the adiabatic exponent γ∈ （3, ∞）. Through the perturbation technique through the perturbation technique, we proved, we proved the H^-1 compactness of ηit ＋ qix, i = 1, 2, 3 with respect to the perturbation solutions given by the Cauchy problem （6） and （7）, where （ηi, qi） are suitable linear combinations of （η0, q0）, （η±, q±）.     

A Riemann hypothesis analogue for invariant rings

A Riemann hypothesis analogue for coding theory was introduced by I.M. Duursma [A Riemann hypothesis analogue for self-dual codes, in: A. Barg, S. Litsyn (Eds.), Codes and Association Schemes (Piscataway, NJ, 1999), American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2001, pp. 115-124]. In this paper, we extend zeta polynomials for linear codes to ones for invariant rings, and we investigate whether a Riemann hypothesis analogue holds for some concrete invariant rings. Also we shall show that there is some subring of an invariant ring such that the subring is not an invariant ring but extremal polynomials all satisfy the Riemann hypothesis analogue.     

The general Riemann problem for the linearized system of two-dimensional isentropic flow in gas dynamics

In this paper, we give the explicit solution to the general Riemann problem for the linearized system of two-dimensional isentropic flow in gas dynamics.     

Equivalent embeddings of the dynamics on an invariant manifold

A dynamical system admitting an invariant manifold can be interpreted as a single element of an infinite class of dynamical systems that all exhibit the same behaviour on the invariant manifold. This observation is used in the context of autonomous ordinary differential equations to generalize a global stability result of Li and Muldowney. The new result is demonstrated on an epidemiological model.     

Modelling and simulation of gas dynamics in an exhaust pipe

The gas dynamics in an exhaust pipe is studied. In particular we focus on the warm up of the catalytic converter in very short times after the engine start. This is done by combustion a small unburnt part of the exhaust gas. This process is classically modelled by gas dynamic equations. Compared to the existing literature we improve the (one-dimensional) modelling approach using a small Mach number technique and a network ansatz for the full exhaust pipe. The final simplified model on one hand still describes the main features and on the other hand it is computationally a few orders of magnitude faster than the original model. Performing numerical simulations we compare the new model to the (classical) full model and to experimental results in the literature.     

Two-dimensional Riemann problems for zero-pressure gas dynamics with three constant states

The Riemann problems for two-dimensional zero-pressure gas dynamics are solved completely when the initial data take three constant states having discontinuities on x,y-positive and x-negative axes. With the help of characteristic analysis, by studying interactions among delta-shocks, vacuums and contact discontinuities, the Riemann solutions constructed exhibit nine different explicit configurations. The Mach-reflection-like configurations appear in some solutions.     

Integration of the equations of gas dynamics for 2.5-dimensional solutions

We integrate the equations of gas dynamics in finite form for the solutions in which the thermodynamic parameters depend only on one spatial variable. The corresponding motion of gas represents the nonlinear superposition of the one-dimensional gas motion corresponding to the invariant system and the two-dimensional motion determined by noninvariant functions. These motions are called 2.5-dimensional. We reduce the invariant system to a first-order implicit ordinary differential equation. We study various solutions of the latter. We construct some continuous and discontinuous solutions to the equations of gas dynamics and give their physical interpretation.     

Periodic solutions of the Lyness max equation

We investigate the periodic nature of solutions of a “max-type” difference equation sometimes referred to as the “Lyness max” equation. The equation we consider is x_n+1=max{x_n,A}/x_n−1, n=0,1,…, where A is a positive real parameter and the initial conditions are arbitrary positive numbers. We also present related results for a similar equation sometimes referred to as the “period 7 max” equation.

On closed invariant sets in local dynamics

We investigate the dynamical behaviour of a holomorphic map on an f-invariant subset C of U, where . We study two cases: when U is an open, connected and polynomially convex subset of Ck and C?U, closed in U, and when ∂U has a p.s.h. barrier at each of its points and C is not relatively compact in U. In the second part of the paper, we prove a Birkhoff's type theorem for holomorphic maps in several complex variables, i.e. given an injective holomorphic map f, defined in a neighborhood of , with U star-shaped and f(U) a Runge domain, we prove the existence of a unique, forward invariant, maximal, compact and connected subset of which touches ∂U.     

From gas dynamics to pressureless gas dynamics

This paper is devoted to the convergence of solutions of the compressible Euler equations towards solutions of the pressureless gas dynamics system, when the pressure tends to 0. The goal is to prove accurate uniform bounds for particular solutions of the Euler equations.

     

High‐resolution relaxation scheme for the two‐dimensional Riemann problems in gas dynamics

We present a new relaxation method for the numerical approximation of the two‐dimensional Riemann problems in gas dynamics. The novel feature of the technique proposed here is that it does not require either a Riemann solver or a characteristics decomposition. The high resolution of the method is achieved by using a third‐order reconstruction for the space discretization and a third‐order TVD Runge‐Kutta scheme for the time integration. Numerical experiments, using several configurations of Riemann problems in gas dynamics, are included to confirm the high resolution of the new relaxation scheme. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The strong relaxation limit of the multidimensional isothermal Euler equations

We construct global smooth solutions to the multidimensional isothermal Euler equations with a strong relaxation. When the relaxation time tends to zero, we show that the density converges towards the solution to the heat equation.

     

Riemann problems for generalized gas dynamics

In this paper, a few classes of exact solutions are obtained using the differential constraints method for generalized gas dynamics equations. The solutions to Riemann problems for two different kinds of initial data are determined with a complete characterization of the solutions through shock waves and/or rarefaction waves.     

Numerical calculation of invariant manifolds for maps

Many processes in the sciences and in engineering are modelled by dynamical systems and—in discretized version—by nonlinear maps. To understand the often complicated dynamical behaviour it is a well established tool to use the concept of invariant manifolds of the system. In this way it is often possible to reduce the dimension of the system considerably. In this paper we propose a new method to calculate numerically invariant manifolds near fixed points of maps. We prove convergence of our procedure and provide an error estimation. Finally, the application of the method is illustrated by examples.
