An estimate of the heat fluxes to the surface of blunt bodies moving at hypersonic velocity in the atmosphere

The problem of the chemically equilibrium three-dimensional boundary layer on a blunt body which is in motion in the atmosphere is considered. A solution of the system of equations of the boundary layer is found by the method of successive approximations, and simple analytic expressions are written in the first approximation for the surface friction and heat flux coefficients. Formulae are obtained in the final form for estimating the convective heat flux in the neighbourhood of the critical point of spherical blunting.     

Algebraic criteria for global existence or blow-up for a boundary coupled system of nonlinear diffusion equations

This article deals with the critical curves for a degenerate parabolic system coupled via nonlinear boundary flux. By constructing the self-similar supersolution and subsolution, we obtain the critical global existence curve. The critical curve of Fujita type is conjectured with the aid of some new results.     

Nonclassical boundary value problem for the transport equation

We consider a nonclassical boundary value problem for the transport equation. The particle transport process is described by a stationary linear integro-differential equation, and the outgoing particle flux density on some part of the boundary is specified as the boundary condition. We find the particle flux density for a given outgoing flux and known coefficients of the equation. We show that, under some restrictions on the medium, there exists a unique solution of the problem, which can be represented by an infinite convergent series.     

On the neutron flux flattening problem

In this paper, we present the critical neutron flux flattening problem governed by the critical transport equation in a nonuniform slab with periodic boundary conditions. Existence and uniqueness theorem of the optimal solution is shown in continuous function space.     

Global subsonic Euler flows in an infinitely long axisymmetric nozzle

In this paper, we consider global subsonic compressible flows through an infinitely long axisymmetric nozzle. The flow is governed by the steady Euler equations and has boundary conditions on the nozzle walls. Existence and uniqueness of global subsonic solution are established for an infinitely long axisymmetric nozzle, when the variation of Bernoulli's function in the upstream is sufficiently small and the mass flux of the incoming flow is less than some critical value. The results give a strictly mathematical proof to the assertion in Bers (1958) [2]: there exists a critical value of the incoming mass flux such that a global subsonic flow exists uniquely in a nozzle, provided that the incoming mass flux is less than the critical value. The existence of subsonic flow is obtained by the precisely a priori estimates for the elliptic equation of two variables. With the assumptions on the nozzle in the far fields, the asymptotic behavior can be derived by a blow-up argument for the infinitely long nozzle. Finally, we obtain the uniqueness of uniformly subsonic flow by energy estimate and derive the existence of the critical value of incoming mass flux.

The critical curve for a non-Newtonian polytropic filtration system coupled via nonlinear boundary flux

This paper deals with the critical curve of the non-Newtonian polytropic filtration equation coupled via nonlinear boundary flux. The critical global existence curve is obtained by constructing various self-similar supersolutions and subsolutions. Furthermore, we get some new results on the critical Fujita curve.     

Boundary fluxes for nonlocal diffusion

We study a nonlocal diffusion operator in a bounded smooth domain prescribing the flux through the boundary. This problem may be seen as a generalization of the usual Neumann problem for the heat equation. First, we prove existence, uniqueness and a comparison principle. Next, we study the behavior of solutions for some prescribed boundary data including blowing up ones. Finally, we look at a nonlinear flux boundary condition.     

Global existence and nonexistence for a doubly degenerate parabolic system coupled via nonlinear boundary flux

This article deals with the degenerate parabolic system with nonlinear boundary flux. By constructing the self-similar supersolution and subsolution, we obtain the critical global existence curve and the critical Fujita curve for the problem. Especially for the blow-up case, it is rather technical. It comes from the construction of the so-called Zel’dovich-Kompaneetz-Barenblatt profile.     

Well-posedness and approximation of a measure-valued mass evolution problem with flux boundary conditions

This Note deals with imposing a flux boundary condition on a non-conservative measure-valued mass evolution problem posed on a bounded interval. To establish the well-posedness of the problem, we exploit particle system approximations of the mass accumulation in a thin layer near the active boundary. We derive the convergence rate for the approximation procedure as well as the structure of the flux boundary condition in the limit problem.

On the Stationary Navier–Stokes Equations in the Half-Plane

We consider the stationary incompressible Navier–Stokes equation in the half-plane with inhomogeneous boundary condition. We prove the existence of strong solutions for boundary data close to any Jeffery–Hamel solution with small flux evaluated on the boundary. The perturbation of the Jeffery–Hamel solution on the boundary has to satisfy a nonlinear compatibility condition which corresponds to the integral of the velocity field on the boundary. The first component of this integral is the flux which is an invariant quantity, but the second, called the asymmetry, is not invariant, which leads to one compatibility condition. Finally, we prove the existence of weak solutions, as well as weak–strong uniqueness for small data and provide numerical simulations.     

Initial-boundary value problems for non-linear equations of generalized thermoelasticity and elasticity

We formulate a local existence theorem for the initial-boundary value problems of generalized thermoelasticity and classical elasticity. We present a unified approach to such boundary conditions as, for example, the boundary condition of traction, pressure or place combined with the boundary condition of heat flux or temperature.     

A conservation law with spatially localized sublinear damping

We consider a general conservation law on the circle, in the presence of a sublinear damping. If the damping acts on the whole circle, then the solution becomes identically zero in finite time, following the same mechanism as the corresponding ordinary differential equation. When the damping acts only locally in space, we show a dichotomy: if the flux function is not zero at the origin, then the transport mechanism causes the extinction of the solution in finite time, as in the first case. On the other hand, if zero is a non-degenerate critical point of the flux function, then the solution becomes extinct in finite time only inside the damping zone, decays algebraically uniformly in space, and we exhibit a boundary layer, shrinking with time, around the damping zone. Numerical illustrations show how similar phenomena may be expected for other equations.     

Solution to the initial boundary-value problem for the regularized Buckley-Leverett system

We solve the initial boundary-value problem for the regularized Buckley-Leverett system, which describes the flow of two immiscible incompressible fluids through a porous medium. This is the case of the flow of water and oil in an oil reservoir. The system is formed by a hyperbolic equation and an elliptic equation coupled by a vector field which represents the total velocity of the mixture. The regularization is done by means of a filter acting on the velocity field. We consider the critical situation in which we inject pure water into the reservoir. At this critical value for the water saturation, the spatial components of the characteristics of the hyperbolic equation vanish and this motivates the use of a new technique to prove the achievement of the boundary condition for the hyperbolic equation. We treat the case of a horizontal plane reservoir. We also prove that the time averages of the saturation component of the solution converge to one, as the time interval increases indefinitely, for almost all points of the reservoir, with a rate of convergence which depends only on the flux function.
