Seismic efficiency of a contact explosion and a high-velocity impact

The seismic energy transferred to an elastic half-space as a result of a contact explosion and a meteorite impact on a planet’s surface is estimated. The seismic efficiency of the explosion and impact are evaluated as the ratio of the energy of the generated seismic waves to the energy of explosion or the kinetic energy of the meteorite. In the case of contact explosions, this ratio is in the range of 10⁻⁴–10⁻³. In the case of wide-scale impact effects, where the crater in the planet’s crust is produced in the gravitational regime, a formula is derived that relates the seismic efficiency of an impact to its determining parameters. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 48, No. 2, pp. 3–12, March–April, 2007.

Topological Invariants in a Model of a Time-Delayed Chua's Circuit

In the last 30 years, some authors have been studying several classes of boundary value problems (BVP) for partial differential equations (PDE) using the method of reduction to obtain a difference equation with continuous argument which behavior is determined by the iteration of a one-dimensional (1D) map (see, for example, Romanenko, E. Yu. and Sharkovsky, A. N., International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos 9(7), 1999, 1285–1306; Sharkovsky, A. N., International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos 5(5), 1995, 1419–1425; Sharkovsky, A. N., Analysis Mathematica Sil 13, 1999, 243–255; Sharkovsky, A. N., in “New Progress in Difference Equations”, Proceedings of the ICDEA'2001, Taylor and Francis, 2003, pp. 3–22; Sharkovsky, A. N., Deregel, Ph., and Chua, L. O., International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos 5(5), 1995, 1283–1302; Sharkovsky, A. N., Maistrenko, Yu. L., and Romanenko, E. Yu., Difference Equations and Their Applications, Kluwer, Dordrecht, 1993.). In this paper we consider the time-delayed Chua's circuit introduced in (Sharkovsky, A. N., International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos 4(5), 1994, 303–309; Sharkovsky, A. N., Maistrenko, Yu. L., Deregel, Ph., and Chua, L. O., Journal of Circuits, Systems and Computers 3(2), 1993, 645–668.) which behavior is determined by properties of one-dimensional map, see Sharkovsky, A. N., Deregel, Ph., and Chua, L. O., International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos 5(5), 1995, 1283–1302; Maistrenko, Yu. L., Maistrenko, V. L., Vikul, S. I., and Chua, L. O., International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos 5(3), 1995, 653–671; Sharkovsky, A. N., International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos 4(5), 1994, 303–309; Sharkovsky, A. N., Maistrenko, Yu. L., Deregel, Ph., and Chua, L. O., Journal of Circuits, Systems and Computers 3(2), 1993, 645–668. To characterize the time-evolution of these circuits we can compute the topological entropy and to distinguish systems with equal topological entropy we introduce a second topological invariant.

Enhancing the controllability of a composite dielectric

The possibility of increasing the control coefficient of a nonlinear dielectric is studied. Composite structures are designed for which the control coefficient of the composite is considerably (5–20 times) higher than the control coefficients of its components are developed. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 49, No. 5, pp. 143–152, September–October, 2008.     

Effects of Viscous Dissipation on Unsteady Free Convection in a Fluid Past a Vertical Plate Immersed in a Porous Medium

The effects of viscous dissipation on unsteady free convection from an isothermal vertical flat plate in a fluid saturated porous medium are examined numerically. The Darcy–Brinkman–Forchheimer model is employed to describe the flow field. A new model of viscous dissipation is used for the Darcy–Brinkman–Forchheimer model of porous media. The simultaneous development of the momentum and thermal boundary layers are obtained by using a finite difference method. Boundary layer and Boussinesq approximation have been incorporated. Numerical calculations are carried out for various parameters entering into the problem. Velocity and temperature profiles as well as local friction factor and local Nusselt number are shown graphically. It is found that as time approaches infinity, the values of friction factor and heat transfer coefficient approach steady state.     

Quasi-Neutral Limit for a Model of Viscous Plasma

We perform a rigorous analysis of the quasi-neutral limit for a model of viscous plasma represented by the Navier–Stokes–Poisson system of equations. It is shown that the limit problem is the Navier–Stokes system describing a barotropic fluid flow, with the pressure augmented by a component related to the nonlinearity in the original Poisson equation.

Some characteristics of heat and mass transfer in a turbulent air flow over a surface

It is shown that, for a certain proportion between the rib height (2–15 mm) installed at the test-section entrance and the turbulence level of the main flow (1–26%), there are extrema of parameters that describe mass transfer on the surface of an evaporating liquid fuel. In tests with and without combustion, discrete changes in the rates of heat and mass transfer are observed. Conditions for their manifestation are analyzed.
