Application of quadrature method of moments to the polydispersed droplet spectrum in transonic steam flows with primary and secondary nucleation

This paper investigates the effectiveness of the Quadrature Method of Moments (QMOM) in representing droplet size distributions present in low-pressure steam turbine stages. In particular, distributions that result during transonic flow with sufficient supercooling and high expansion rate for primary and secondary nucleation to occur along the flow path. It is shown that the discretization of the droplet size distribution inherent in QMOM is robust for representing a polydispersed distribution with sizes several orders of magnitude apart, and originating from separate condensation phenomena. Inclusion of the QMOM method would thus provide a significant improvement in condensation models currently in use, which generally rely on a monodispersed representation of the droplet distribution.     

Application of the problem of moments to derive bounds on integrals with integral constraints

Recently a lot of results (for a review see Goovaerts et al. (1983)) have been obtained for bounds on stop-loss premiums in case of incomplete information on the claim distribution.As a consequence some extremal distributions (depending on the retention limit) have been characterized. The extremal distributions for the stop-loss ordering in case of fixed values of the retention limit are obtained by means of deep results from the theory of convex analysis. In the present contribution it is shown, by means of some results from the problem of moments, how bounds on integrals with integral constraints can be obtained. We assume only the knowledge of the moments μ₀, μ₁, …, μ_n.

Solution of the stochastic boundary-value problem of elasticity theory for composites with disordered structures in the correlative approximation of the method of quasi-periodic components

The method of quasi-periodic components, a new method of statistical mechanics of composites, is presented. In correlative approximation, this method makes it possible to reduce the problem of solving the stochastic boundary-value problem of elasticity theory for composites with disordered structures to a simpler problem for an individual cell with one inclusion in a homogeneous elastic medium. The generalized volumetric forces on the cell boundary take into account the random distribution of inclusions in the composite fragment studied. The problem for one inclusion cell can be solved, for example, by the boundary element method. The numerical solution in the correlative approximation of the method of quasi-periodic components for inhomogeneous interphase stress fields in the matrix of an epoxy composite containing randomly distributed unidirectional fibers is given. A comparison with the known analytical solutions obtained by other authors confirms the high accuracy of the correlative approximation.Perm' State Technical University, Russia.

New method to obtain the acute sill of an ecological model with complex polynomial perturbation

This research aims to highlight and examine an example of ecological complexity. By taking into account the interference between predator and prey, we introduce an ecological system with a general functional response. This model is perturbed by a novel class of fluctuations in the polynomial form. Analytically, we present an alternative method to obtain the acute threshold between stationarity and predator disappearance. Our analysis enriches and improves the work of Zhou et al. (2021) by unifying the criteria of said asymptotic characteristics. Numerically, we audit the accuracy of our threshold in three particular situations: linear, quadratic and cubic perturbations. We establish that the increasing order of disturbance has a passive influence on the extinction time of predators. This finding highlights that complex noise sources have a positive role in the transient dynamics of ecological systems.

Application of the improved F-expansion method with Riccati equation to find the exact solution of the nonlinear evolution equations

In this article, we pay attention to the analytical method named, the improved F-expansion method combined with Riccati equation for finding the exact traveling wave solutions of the Benney–Luke equation and the Phi-4 equation. By means of this method we have explored three classes of explicit solutions-hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational solutions with some free parameters. When the parameters are taken as special values, the solitary wave solutions are originated from the traveling wave solutions. Our outcomes disclose that this method is very active and forthright way of formulating the exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations arising in mathematical physics and engineering.
