On a system of singularly perturbed second-order quasilinear ordinary differential equations in the critical cases

A singularly perturbed system of second-order quasilinear ordinary differential equations with a small parameter multiplying the second derivatives is examined in the case where the coefficient matrix of the first derivatives is singular and does not depend on the unknown functions.     

Oblique wave scattering by an impermeable ocean-bed of variable depth in a two-layer fluid with ice-cover

Within the framework of linearized theory, obliquely incident water wave scattering by an uneven ocean-bed in the form of a small bottom undulation in a two-layer fluid, where the upper layer has a thin ice-cover while the lower one has the undulation, is investigated here. In such a two-layer fluid, there exist two modes of time-harmonic waves—the one with lower wave number propagating just below the ice-cover and the one with higher wave number along the interface. An incident wave of a particular mode gets reflected and transmitted by the bottom undulations into waves of both the modes. Assuming irrotational motion, a perturbation technique is employed to solve the first-order corrections to the velocity potentials in the two-layer fluid by using Fourier transform appropriately and also to calculate the reflection and transmission coefficients in terms of integrals involving the shape function representing the bottom undulation. For a sinusoidal bottom topography, these coefficients are depicted graphically against the wave number. It is observed that when the oblique wave is incident on the ice-cover surface, we always find energy transfer to the interface, but for interfacial oblique incident waves, there are parameter ranges for which no energy transfer to the ice-cover surface is possible.

Control of space-time chaos in a system of equations of the FitzHugh–Nagumo type

We perform an analytic and numerical study of a system of partial differential equations that describes the propagation of nerve impulses in the heart muscle. We show that, for fixed parameter values, the system has infinitely many distinct stable wave solutions running along the spatial axis at arbitrary velocities and infinitely many distinct modes of space-time chaos, where the bifurcation parameter is the velocity of running wave propagation along the spatial axis, which does not explicitly occur in the original system of equations. We suggest an algorithm for controlling the space-time chaos in the system, which permits one to stabilize any of its unstable periodic running waves.     

Nonquasilinear evolution of particle velocity in incoherent waves with random amplitudes

The one-dimensional motion of N particles in the field of many incoherent waves is revisited numerically. When the wave complex amplitudes are independent, with a Gaussian distribution, the quasilinear approximation is found to always overestimate transport and to become accurate in the limit of infinite resonance overlap.

A REACTION–DIFFUSION EQUATION MODELING THE INVASION OF THE ARGENTINE ANT POPULATION,LINEPITHEMA HUMILE,AT JASPER RIDGE BIOLOGICAL PRESERVE

Abstract A continuous reaction–diffusion model is developed for the invasive Argentine ant population within a preserve in northern California. The model is a second‐order partial differential equation incorporating a logistic growth term. The dispersal distance traveled during the reproductive process of budding is used to estimate the diffusion coefficient. The model has two homogeneous steady states, one occurring at the propagation front where the Argentine ant population does not yet exist and one occurring where the population has reached carrying capacity. The traveling wave solutions of the model depict the population density for a given time and location. Using current research, parameter values for the model are estimated and a traveling wave solution for the average parameter values is numerically demonstrated.

Initial Development of Diffusion in Poiseuille Flow

The combined effect of diffusion, and of convection by Poiseuilleflow, on the distribution of a small quantity of miscible additiveinjected into a tube of radius a, is to spread it longitudinallywith a Taylor "effective diffusion coefficient", to an approximationthat is good at times greater than about 0.5a²/D (Bailey &Gogarty, 1962), where D is the molecular diffusion coefficient.The present theory, complementary to the Taylor theory, determinesthe initial action of diffusion on the front of the concentrationdistribution, to an approximation that is good at times t lessthan about 0.1a²/D. The theory is exact wherever the added substancedoes not yet interact with the tube wall, and predicts thatthe spread in the front due to diffusion extends (Fig. 2) overa distance of order DUt²/a², where U is the velocity on theaxis of the tube. The transition between distributions characteristicof the two theories is illustrated (Fig. 4); and the introductionindicates the relevance of the new theory to work (Caro, 1966)on tracers used in study of the blood circulation.     

Unsteady convective diffusion of a solute in a Hagen-Poiseuille flow through a tube with permeable wall

Influence of Interphase Mass Transfer (IMT) on the unsteady convective diffusion in a fluid flow through a tube surrounded by a porous medium is examined against the background of no IMT. The three coefficients namely exchange coefficient, convection coefficient, and dispersion coefficient are evaluated asymptotically at large-time. The exchange coefficient exists due to IMT. All-time analysis is made analytically when there is no IMT. The mean concentration distribution is measured at a point inside and outside the slug. The peak of mean concentration is higher than that of pure convection and it is further enhanced with increase of porous parameter. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Anomalous waves as an object of statistical topography: Problem statement

Based on ideas of statistical topography, we analyze the boundary-value problem of the appearance of anomalous large waves (rogue waves) on the sea surface. The boundary condition for the sea surface is regarded as a closed stochastic quasilinear equation in the kinematic approximation. We obtain the stochastic Liouville equation, which underlies the derivation of an equation describing the joint probability density of fields of sea surface displacement and its gradient. We formulate the statistical problem with the stochastic topographic inhomogeneities of the sea bottom taken into account. It describes diffusion in the phase space, and its solution must answer the question whether information about the existence of anomalous large waves is contained in the quasilinear equation under consideration.     

Elliptic equations with diffusion parameterized by the range of nonlocal interactions

We consider quasilinear elliptic equations where the diffusion at each point depends on all the values of the solution in a neighborhood of this point. The size of this neighborhood is parameterized by some non-negative number which represents the range of nonlocal interactions. For fixed values of the parameter, the issue of the existence and local uniqueness of the solution is addressed. In a radial symmetric setting, we give pointwise estimates of the solutions and prove the existence of multiple solutions. Regarding bifurcation theory, we show that many local branches of solutions may exist while, among them, only one is global and has no bifurcation point.     

Similarity solution for a cylindrical shock wave in a rotational axisymmetric dusty gas with heat conduction and radiation heat flux

The propagation of shock waves in a rotational axisymmetric dusty gas with heat conduction and radiation heat flux, which has a variable azimuthally fluid velocity together with a variable axial fluid velocity, is investigated. The dusty gas is assumed to be a mixture of non-ideal (or perfect) gas and small solid particles, in which solid particles are continuously distributed. It is assumed that the equilibrium flow-condition is maintained and variable energy input is continuously supplied by the piston (or inner expanding surface). The fluid velocities in the ambient medium are assume to be vary and obey power laws. The density of the ambient medium is assumed to be constant, the heat conduction is express in terms of Fourier’s law and the radiation is considered to be of the diffusion type for an optically thick grey gas model. The thermal conductivity K and the absorption coefficient α_R are assumed to vary with temperature and density. In order to obtain the similarity solutions the angular velocity of the ambient medium is assume to be decreasing as the distance from the axis increases. The effects of the variation of the heat transfer parameter and non-idealness of the gas in the mixture are investigated. The effects of an increase in (i) the mass concentration of solid particles in the mixture and (ii) the ratio of the density of solid particles to the initial density of the gas on the flow variables are also investigated.     

Hydrodynamic and thermal slip flow boundary layers over a flat plate with constant heat flux boundary condition

In this paper the boundary layer flow over a flat plat with slip flow and constant heat flux surface condition is studied. Because the plate surface temperature varies along the x direction, the momentum and energy equations are coupled due to the presence of the temperature gradient along the plate surface. This coupling, which is due to the presence of the thermal jump term in Maxwell slip condition, renders the momentum and energy equations non-similar. As a preliminary study, this paper ignores this coupling due to thermal jump condition so that the self-similar nature of the equations is preserved. Even this fundamental problem for the case of a constant heat flux boundary condition has remained unexplored in the literature. It was therefore chosen for study in this paper. For the hydrodynamic boundary layer, velocity and shear stress distributions are presented for a range of values of the parameter characterizing the slip flow. This slip parameter is a function of the local Reynolds number, the local Knudsen number, and the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient representing the fraction of the molecules reflected diffusively at the surface. As the slip parameter increases, the slip velocity increases and the wall shear stress decreases. These results confirm the conclusions reached in other recent studies. The energy equation is solved to determine the temperature distribution in the thermal boundary layer for a range of values for both the slip parameter as well as the fluid Prandtl number. The increase in Prandtl number and/or the slip parameter reduces the dimensionless surface temperature. The actual surface temperature at any location of x is a function of the local Knudsen number, the local Reynolds number, the momentum accommodation coefficient, Prandtl number, other flow properties, and the applied heat flux.     

Stick-slip-separation waves in a rotating shaft-bush system

We consider an elastic annular bush fitted to a rigid rotating shaft with a diameter mismatch. The formation of stick-slip, slip-separation and stick-slip-separation waves due to dynamic friction acting between the bush and the shaft is studied. Numerically, we calculate the loci of non-smooth bifurcations in the parameter space for rotating mode-1 waves on the shaft-bush interface, varying the angular velocity and the static coefficient of friction.

Computational modeling of the propagation of acoustic pulses in hemodynamics

The present paper deals with the numerical simulation of the propagation of pulses of blood pressure and velocity in a blood vessel. The numerical solution of the system of linear hemodynamic equations is formed as a superposition of progressing waves (Riemann invariants) satisfying the transport equations. Considerable attention is paid to the construction of a difference scheme for the linear and quasilinear transport equations. Examples of computations are presented. The suggested algorithm can be generalized to the case of a quasilinear system of equations.

Stress and heat flux stabilization for viscous compressible medium equations with a nonmonotone state function

We study a system of quasilinear equations describing one-dimensional flow of a viscous compressible heat-conducting medium with a nonmonotone state function and mass force. The large-time behavior of solutions is considered for arbitrarily large initial data. In spite of possible nonuniqueness and discontinuity of the stationary solution, we prove L²-stabilization for the stress and heat flux as t → ∞ along with corresponding global energy estimates for them. The new method of proof utilizes a combination of energy type equalities for the stress and heat flux. Consequently, H¹-stabilization of the velocity and temperature along with global estimates for their derivatives are valid as well.     

Generalized thermoelasticity of beams under partial thermal shock

In this paper, the generalized thermoelastic response of a beam subjected to a partial lateral thermal shock is analysed. The beam is made of homogeneous and isotropic material and is assumed to follow the Hooke law for its constitutive material. The displacement gradient is small and the linear form of strain-displacement relations is used for the beam. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions of the beam are derived based on Hamilton’s principle. According to the first and second laws of thermodynamics, a non-Fourier constitutive equation is employed to derive the energy equation of the beam. The non-Fourier effects lead to the constitutive equation of the hyperbolic type and thus the thermal and mechanical waves can be observed. The propagation of waves in the beam are simulated by finite element model and the wave reflections for different types of boundary conditions are studied. The relaxation time is considered as a significant parameter and results show that energy absorption of the structure and the wave propagation speed depend upon this parameter.
