Hydrodynamic stability of boundary layers with mass transfer

The stability of boundary layers involving mass transfer described by a two-parameter family of Fockner-Scane (F-S) solutions is analyzed. An effective method of solving the boundary problem is proposed for the F-S equation. A determinant method is proposed for solving the stability equation. The critical values of the stability characteristics are found over a wide range of gradient and mass-transfer parameters.     

COMPARISON OF STABILITY BETWEEN NAVIER-STOKES AND EULER EQUATIONS

The stability about Navier-Stokes equation and Euler equation was brought into comparison. And by taking their typical initial value problem for example, the reason of leading to the difference in stability between Navier-Stokes equation and Euler equation was also analyzed.     

Linear Stability of Traveling Waves in First-Order Hyperbolic PDEs

In the analysis of traveling waves it is common that coupled parabolic-hyperbolic problems occur, where the hyperbolic part is not strictly hyperbolic. For example, this happens whenever a reaction diffusion equation with more than one non-diffusing component is considered in a co-moving frame. In this paper we analyze the stability of traveling waves in nonstrictly hyperbolic PDEs by reformulating the problem as a partial differential algebraic equation (PDAE). We prove uniform resolvent estimates for the original PDE problem and for the PDAE by using exponential dichotomies. It is shown that the zero eigenvalue of the linearization is removed from the spectrum in the PDAE formulation and, therefore, the PDAE problem is better suited for the stability analysis. This is rigorously done via the vector valued Laplace transform which also leads to optimal rates. The linear stability result presented here is a major step in the proof of nonlinear stability.     

Stability of solitary waves in dispersive media described by a fifth-order evolution equation

The problem of the existence and dynamical stability of solitary wave solutions to a fifth-order evolution equation, generalizing the well-known Korteweg-de Vries equation, is treated. The theoretical framework of the paper is largely based on a recently developed version of positive operator theory in Fréchet spaces (which is used for the existence proof) and the theory of orbital stability for Hamiltonian systems with translationally invariant Hamiltonians. The validity of sufficient conditions for stability are established. The shape of solitary waves under analysis are determined by a numerical solution of the boundary-value problem followed by a correction using the Picard method of 4–12 orders of accuracy.     

Investigation of the stability for inviscid compressible swirling flow between concentric cylinders

The temporal stability on inviscid compressible swirling flow between two concentric cylinders is investigated. First, a linearized differential equation is derived. Two stability criteria are derived for compressible swirling flow by an analytic method analogous to Ludwieg ’s method. A finite-difference numerical method is then used to solve the eigenvalue problem of this differential equation, to get temporal growth rate and to check these stabilitv criteria derived. Finally.The effect of compressibility for stability is disscused.

Asymptotic theory of neutral stability of the Couette flow of a vibrationally excited gas

An asymptotic theory of the neutral stability curve for a supersonic plane Couette flow of a vibrationally excited gas is developed. The initial mathematical model consists of equations of two-temperature viscous gas dynamics, which are used to derive a spectral problem for a linear system of eighth-order ordinary differential equations within the framework of the classical linear stability theory. Unified transformations of the system for all shear flows are performed in accordance with the classical Lin scheme. The problem is reduced to an algebraic secular equation with separation into the “inviscid” and “viscous” parts, which is solved numerically. It is shown that the thus-calculated neutral stability curves agree well with the previously obtained results of the direct numerical solution of the original spectral problem. In particular, the critical Reynolds number increases with excitation enhancement, and the neutral stability curve is shifted toward the domain of higher wave numbers. This is also confirmed by means of solving an asymptotic equation for the critical Reynolds number at the Mach number M ≤ 4.

Instability of a Tangential Discontinuity in an Axisymmetric Flow with a Stagnation Point

The linear problem of the stability of a plane tangential discontinuity occurring at the interface of two counter-streaming inviscid incompressible axisymmetric flows and including a stagnation point is considered. Using the integral Hankel transform, the problem was reduced to the solution of a single elliptic differential equation governing the discontinuity shape. An analysis of this equation by the normal-mode technique leads to a dispersion relation from which there follows the instability of the discontinuity. A similar problem for the plane-symmetric case has previously been studied by the author.     

Buckling load and critical length of nanowires on an elastic substrate

This paper considers the stability of nanowires on an elastic substrate. The problem is converted to a generalized Euler problem containing rotational spring restraint. When distributed loading and tip forces are simultaneously applied, the buckling problem of a heavy nanocolumn with rotational spring junction is reduced to an integral equation. An approximate buckling load equation is derived explicitly. The critical length of nanocantilevers is given in closed form. Results indicate that spring stiffness increases the critical length of nanowires. The effect of self-weight on the critical length is pronounced for small tip forces, and becomes weaker for larger tip forces.

A new framework for studying the stability of genus-1 and genus-2 KP patterns

The Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation - or KP equation - is a model equation for waves that are weakly two-dimensional in a horizontal plane, and models water waves in shallow water with weak three-dimensionality. It has a vast array of interesting genus—k pattern solutions which can be obtained explicitly in terms of Riemann theta functions. However the linear or nonlinear stability of these patterns has not been studied. In this paper, we present a new formulation of the KP model as a Hamiltonian system on a multi-symplectic structure. While it is well-known that the KP model is Hamiltonian - as an evolution equation in time - multi-symplecticity assigns a distinct symplectic operator for each spatial direction as well, and is independent of the integrability of the equation. The multi-symplectic framework is then used to formulate the linear stability problem for genus-1 and genus-2 patterns of the KP equation; generalizations to genus—k with k > 2 are also discussed.     

Stability of an equilibrium position of a pendulum with step parameters

A mathematical pendulum affected by parametric disturbance with potential energy being periodic step function is considered. Non-linear equation of the pendulum depends on two parameters characterizing the mean value in time of the parametric disturbance and range of its “ripple”. Values of the parameters can be set arbitrarily. The non-linear problem of stability for two particular solutions of the equation corresponding to a hanging and inverse pendulum is solved.     

Determination of unknown elastoplastic properties in signorini problem

The problem of recovering the plasticity function of non-linear Lame equation from the knowledge of penetration diagram is considered. Mathematical modelling of the identification problem leads to an inverse Signorini problem for a non-linear operator with a non-local additional condition (measured data). Using a variational method coefficient stability in H¹ is proved. Then based on this result, the existence of a quasisolution is obtained in a physically admissible class of coefficients. The numerical method and examples are also presented.     

The Linear Stability of Shock Waves for the Nonlinear Schrödinger–Inviscid Burgers System

We investigate the coupling between the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the inviscid Burgers equation, a system which models interactions between short and long waves, for instance in fluids. Well-posedness for the associated Cauchy problem remains a difficult open problem, and we tackle it here via a linearization technique. Namely, we establish a linearized stability theorem for the Schrödinger–Burgers system, when the reference solution is an entropy-satisfying shock wave to Burgers equation. Our proof is based on suitable energy estimates and on properties of hyperbolic equations with discontinuous coefficients. Numerical experiments support and expand our theoretical results.     

Stability of solutions of one class of nonlinear dynamic equations

We study the stability of the zero solution of a nonlinear dynamic equation on a time scale under certain assumptions on the right-hand side of this equation. In addition to conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a solution of the Cauchy problem, we also assume that the exponential function of the linear approximation is bounded, and the norms of the nonlinear part and its derivatives with respect to the components of the space variable are majorized by power functions of the norm of the space variable. Using the generalized method of Lyapunov functions, we obtain sufficient conditions for the stability of the zero solution of the nonlinear equation under consideration.     

The small disturbance problems associated with the algebraic riccati equation of continuous linear time-invariant systems

The stability problem of the disturbed algebraic Riccati equation of continuous linear time-invariant systems is discussed in this paper. Through matrix norm analysis the estimation (expressed in terms of the disturbance range of the system parameters) of the disturbance range in the solution of the disturbed algebraic Riccati equation is established. Apparently this method is quite convenient for the practical computational purposes.
