Lp-estimates for the nonlinear spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation

This paper studies L^p-estimates for solutions of the nonlinear, spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation. The molecular forces considered include inverse k^th-power forces with k > 5 and angular cut-off.The main conclusions are the following. Let f be the unique solution of the Boltzmann equation with f(v,t)(1 + ¦v²¦)^(s ₁ ^{+ /p)/2} L¹, when the initial value f ₀ satisfies f ₀(v) 0, f ₀(v) (1 + ¦v¦²)^(s ₁ ^{+ /p)/2} L¹, for some s₁ 2 + /p, and f ₀(v) (1 + ¦v¦²)^s/2 L^p. If s 2/p and 1 < p < , then f(v, t)(1 + ¦v¦²)^{(s s} ₁)^/2 L^p, t > 0. If s >2 and 3/(1+ ) < p < , thenf(v,t) (1 + ¦v¦²)^(s(s ₁ ^{+ 3/p))/2} L^p, t > 0. If s >2 + 2C₀/C₁ and 3/(l + ) < p < , then f(v,t)(1 + ¦v¦²)^s/2 L^p, t > 0. Here 1/p + 1/p = 1, x y = min (x, y), and C₀, C₁, 0 < 1, are positive constants related to the molecular forces under consideration; = (k – 5)/ (k – 1) for k^th-power forces.Some weaker conclusions follow when 1 < p 3/ (1 + ).In the proofs some previously known L-estimates are extended. The results for L^p, 1 < p < , are based on these L-estimates coupled with nonlinear interpolation.     

Approximate solutions for drag coefficient of bubbles moving in shear-thinning elastic fluids

The drag coefficient for bubbles with mobile or immobile interface rising in shear-thinning elastic fluids described by an Ellis or a Carreau model is discussed. Approximate solutions based on linearization of the equations of motion are presented for the highly elastic region of flow. These solutions are in reasonably good agreement with the theoretical predictions based on variational principles and with published experimental data.

Uniqueness and the maximum principle for quasilinear elliptic equations with quadratic growth conditions

In this paper, we show that the maximum principle holds for quasilinear elliptic equations with quadratic growth under general structure conditions.Two typical particular cases of our results are the following. On one hand, we prove that the equation (1) {ie77-01} where {ie77-02} and {ie77-03} satisfies the maximum principle for solutions in H ¹()L(), i.e., that two solutions u ₁, u ₂H¹() L() of (1) such that u ₁u₂ on , satisfy u ₁u₂ in . This implies in particular the uniqueness of the solution of (1) in H ₀ ¹ ()L().On the other hand, we prove that the equation (2) {ie77-04} where fH^–1() and g(u)>0, g(0)=0, satisfies the maximum principle for solutions uH¹() such that g(u)¦Du|{²L¹(). Again this implies the uniqueness of the solution of (2) in the class uH ₀ ¹ () with g(u)¦Du|{²L¹().In both cases, the method of proof consists in making a certain change of function u=(v) in equation (1) or (2), and in proving that the transformed equation, which is of the form (3) {ie77-05}satisfies a certain structure condition, which using ((v₁ -v ₂)⁺)ⁿ for some n>0 as a test function, allows us to prove the maximum principle.     

Rotating bunsen flames as solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

Steadily rotating solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equationu _t + ² u++¦u¦ ² =c ² are studied. These solutions bifurcate from the steady radial solution of the above equation. For large values ofc and angular velocities such thatN¦¦<2c<(N+1)¦¦, we show that there exists a 2N-1 family of bifurcating solutions. The proof is based on a certain generic transversality assumption. A computer-assisted proof of this assumption is given for 1N10.     

Existence of L 1-Connections Between Equilibria of a Semilinear Parabolic Equation

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of L ¹-connections between equilibria of a semilinear parabolic equation. By an L ¹-connection from an equilibrium ^– to an equilibrium ⁺ we mean a function u(, t) which is a classical solution on the interval (–, T) for some T and blows up at t = T but continues to exist in the space L ¹ for t [T, ) and satisfies u(, t) ^± (in a suitable sense) as t ±. The main tool in our analysis is the zero number.     

Maximum density effects on thermal instability of horizontal laminar boundary layers

Linear stability theory is used to investigate the onset of longitudinal vortices in laminar boundary layers along horizontal semi-infinite flat plates heated or cooled isothermally from below by considering the density inversion effect for water using a cubic temperature-density relationship. The analysis employs non-parallel flow model incorporating the variation of the basic flow and temperature fields with the streamwise coordinate as well as the transverse velocity component in the disturbance equations. Numerical results for the critical Grashof number Gr _L ^* =Gr _X ^* /Re _X< ^{Emphasis>/3/2} are presented for thermal conditions corresponding to –0.5 ₁–2.0 and –0.8 ₂1.2.Nomenclature a wavenumber, 2/ - D operator, d/d - F (f–f)/2 - f dimensionless stream function - g gravitational acceleration - G eigenvalue, Gr _L/Re_L - Gr _L Grashof number based on L - Gr _X Grashof number based on X - L characteristic length, (X/U)^1/2 - M number of divisions in y direction - P pressure - Pr Prandtl number, / - p dimensionless pressure, P/( ² /Re _L) - Re _L, Re_X Reynolds numbers, (U L/)=Re _X< ^1/2 and (U), respectively - T temperature - U, V, W velocity components in X, Y, Z directions - u, v, w dimensionless perturbation velocities, (U, V, W)/U - X, Y, Z rectangular coordinates - x, y, z dimensionless coordinates, (X, Y, Z)/L - thermal diffusivity - coefficient of thermal expansion - ₁, ₂ temperature coefficients for density-temperature relationship - similarity variable, Y/L=y - dimensionless temperature disturbance, /T - dimensionless wavelength of vortex rolls, 2/a - ₁, ₂ thermal parameters defined by equation (12) - kinematic viscosity - density - dimensionless basic temperature, (T _b T )/T - –1 - T temperature difference, (T _w–T ) - * critical value or dimensionless disturbance amplitude - prime, disturbance quantity or differentiation with respect to - b basic flow quantity - max value at a density maximum - w value at wall - free stream condition     

Linearized dynamics for step jumps of velocity and displacement of shearing flows of a simple fluid

We consider linearized dynamics associated with step jumps in the velocity or displacement of the boundary of a fluid in a shearing motion. The discontinuity will propagate into the interior with a speed ( is the density) if the initial valuesG(0) andG(0) of the fading memory kernels are bounded, 0 <G(0) < , – <G (0) < 0. IfG(0) butG(0) = – , then the boundary of the support of the solution still propagates with the speedC. However, the solutions on both sides of the boundary match together in aC -fashion. IfG(0) butG(0) = 0, the amplitude of the discontinuity will not damp as in a purely elastic fluid. IfG(0) = , the step change is felt immediately throughout the fluid, without shocks, as in Navier-Stokes fluids. This same type of parabolic behavior can be achieved by a small Newtonian contribution added to the integral form of the stress but if this contribution is small, a smooth transition layer around the shock will propagate with the speedC. In the case of step displacement, from rest to rest, singular surfaces of infinite velocity can propagate into the interior with speed of propagationC. The singular surfaces undergo multiple reflections off bounding walls, but the final steady state reached asymptotically is in universal form independent of material.     

Asymptotic analysis of equilibrium states for rotating turbulent flows

The equilibrium states of homogeneous turbulence simultaneously subjected to a mean velocity gradient and a rotation are examined by using asymptotic analysis. The present work is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of quantities such as the turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate associated with the fixed point (/kS)=0, whereS is the shear rate. The classical form of the model transport equation for (Hanjalic and Launder, 1972) is used. The present analysis shows that, asymptotically, the turbulent kinetic energy (a) undergoes a power-law decay with time for (P/)<1, (b) is independent of time for (P/)=1, (c) undergoes a power-law growth with time for 1<(P/)<(C ₂–1), and (d) is represented by an exponential law versus time for (P/)=(C ₂–1)/(C ₁–1) and (/kS)>0 whereP is the production rate. For the commonly used second-order models the equilibrium solutions forP/,II, andIII (whereII andIII are respectively the second and third invariants of the anisotropy tensor) depend on the rotation number when (P/kS)=(/kS)=0. The variation of (P/kS) andII versusR given by the second-order model of Yakhot and Orzag are compared with results of Rapid Distortion Theory corrected for decay (Townsend, 1970).     

The value of the critical exponent for reaction-diffusion equations in cones

Let D R ^N be a cone with vertex at the origin i.e., D = (0, )x where S ^N–1 and x D if and only if x = (r, ) with r=¦x¦, . We consider the initial boundary value problem: u _t = u+u ^p in D×(0, T), u=0 on Dx(0, T) with u(x, 0)=u ₀(x) 0. Let ₁ denote the smallest Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on and let ₊ denote the positive root of (+N–2) = ₁. Let p ^* = 1 + 2/(N + ₊). If 1 < p < p ^*, no positive global solution exists. If p>p ^*, positive global solutions do exist. Extensions are given to the same problem for u _t=+¦x¦ u ^p .This research was supported in part by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under Grant # AFOSR 88-0031 and in part by NSF Grant DMS-8 822 788.

Some remarks on differential equations of quadratic type

In this paper we study differential equations of the formx(t) + x(t)=f(x(t)), x(0)=x ₀ C HereC is a closed, bounded convex subset of a Banach spaceX,f(C) C, and it is often assumed thatf(x) is a quadratic map. We study the differential equation by using the general theory of nonexpansive maps and nonexpansive, non-linear semigroups, and we obtain sharp results in a number of cases of interest. We give a formula for the Lipschitz constant off: C C, and we derive a precise explicit formula for the Lipschitz constant whenf is quadratic,C is the unit simplex inR ⁿ, and thel ₁ norm is used. We give a new proof of a theorem about nonexpansive semigroups; and we show that if the Lipschitz constant off: CC is less than or equal to one, then lim_tf(x(t))–x(t)=0 and, if {x(t):t 0} is precompact, then lim_tx(t) exists. Iff¦C=L¦C, whereL is a bounded linear operator, we apply the nonlinear theory to prove that (under mild further conditions on C) lim_t f(x(t))–x(t)=0 and that lim_t x(t) exists if {x(t):t 0} is precompact. However, forn 3 we give examples of quadratic mapsf of the unit simplex ofR ⁿ into itself such that lim_t x(t) fails to exist for mostx ₀ C andx(t) may be periodic. Our theorems answer several questions recently raised by J. Herod in connection with so-called model Boltzmann equations.

Mean and turbulent velocity measurements of supersonic mixing layers

The behavior of supersonic mixing layers under three conditions has been examined by schlieren photography and laser Doppler velocimetry. In the schlieren photographs, some large-scale, repetitive patterns were observed within the mixing layer; however, these structures do not appear to dominate the mixing layer character under the present flow conditions. It was found that higher levels of secondary freestream turbulence did not increase the peak turbulence intensity observed within the mixing layer, but slightly increased the growth rate. Higher levels of freestream turbulence also reduced the axial distance required for development of the mean velocity. At higher convective Mach numbers, the mixing layer growth rate was found to be smaller than that of an incompressible mixing layer at the same velocity and freestream density ratio. The increase in convective Mach number also caused a decrease in the turbulence intensity ( _u/U).List of symbols a speed of sound - b total mixing layer thickness between U ₁ – 0.1 U and U ₂ + 0.1 U - f normalized third moment of u-velocity, f u³/(U)³ - g normalized triple product of u² , g u²/(U)³ - h normalized triple product of u ², h u ²/(U)³ - l _u axial distance for similarity in the mean velocity - l _u axial distance for similarity in the turbulence intensity - M Mach number - M _c convective Mach number (for ₁ = ₂), M _c (U ₁ – U ₂)/(a ₁ + a ₂) - P static pressure - r freestream velocity ratio, r U ₂/U ₁ - Re unit Reynolds number, Re U/ - s freestream density ratio, s ₂/₁ - T _t total temperature - u instantaneous streamwise velocity - u deviation of u-velocity, uu – U - U local mean streamwise velocity - U ₁ primary freestream velocity - U ₂ secondary freestream velocity - average of freestream velocities, (U ₁ + U ₂)/2 - U freestream velocity difference, U U ₁ – U ₂ - instantaneous transverse velocity - v deviation of -velocity, – V - V local mean transverse velocity - x streamwise coordinate - y transverse coordinate - y ₀ transverse location of the mixing layer centerline - ensemble average - ratio of specific heats - boundary layer thickness (y-location at 99.5% of free-stream velocity) - similarity coordinate, (y – y ₀)/b - compressible boundary layer momentum thickness - viscosity - density - standard deviation - dimensionless velocity, (U – U ₂)/U - 1 primary stream - 2 secondary stream A version of this paper was presented at the 11th Symposium on Turbulence, October 17–19, 1988, University of Missouri-Rolla     

Free convection heat transfer from an isothermal plate with arbitrary inclination

This paper presents a new formulation for the laminar free convection from an arbitrarily inclined isothermal plate to fluids of any Prandtl number between 0.001 and infinity. A novel inclination parameter is proposed such that all cases of the horizontal, inclined and vertical plates can be described by a single set of transformed equations. Moreover, the self-similar equations for the limiting cases of the horizontal and vertical plates are recovered from the transformed equations by setting=0 and=1, respectively. Heated upward-facing plates with positive and negative inclination angles are investigated. A very accurate correlation equation of the local Nusselt number is developed for arbitrary inclination angle and for 0.001 Pr .

Zusammenfasssung Diese Untersuchung stellt eine neue Formulierung der laminaren freien Konvektion von Flüssigkeiten mit einer Prandtl-Zahl zwischen 0,001 und unendlich an einer beliebig schräggestellten isothermen Platte dar. Ein neuer Neigungsparameter wird eingeführt, so daß alle Fälle der horizontalen, geneigten oder vertikalen Platte von einem einzigen Satz transformierter Gleichungen beschrieben werden können. Die unabhängigen Gleichungen für die beiden Fälle der horizontalen and vertikalen Platte wurden für=0 und=1 aus den transformierten Gleichungen wieder abgeleitet. Es wurden erwärmte aufwärtsgerichtete Platten mit positiven und negativen Neigungswinkeln untersucht. Eine sehr genaue Gleichung wurde für die lokale Nusselt-Zahl bei beliebigen Neigungswinkeln und für 0,001 Pr entwickelt.

Jet methods of gas injection into fluid boundary layer for drag reduction

Two jet methods for saturating the fluid boundary layer with microbubbles for drag reduction in contrust with gas injection through porous materials are considered. The first method is the gas injection through the slot under a special fluid wall jet. The second method is the saturation of boundary layer by microbubbles via the gas-water mixture injection through the slot. Experimental data, reflecting the skin friction drag reduction on the flat plate and total drag reduction of axisymmetric bodies, are presented.

On the Jacobian conjecture for global asymptotic stability

An old conjecture says that, for the two-dimensional system of ordinary differential equationsx=f(x), wheref: ^{2 2},f C ¹, andf(0)=0 the originx=0 should beglobally asymptotically stable (i.e., a stable equilibrium and all trajectoriesx(t) converge to it ast +) whenever the following conditions on the Jacobian matrixJ(x) off hold: trJ(x) < 0, detJ(x) > 0, x ² It is known that if such anf is globallyone-to-one as a mapping of the plane into itself, then the origin is a globally asymptotically stable equilibrium point for the systemx =f(x). In this paper we outline a new strategy to tackle the injectivity off, based on anauxiliary boundary value problem. The strategy is shown to be successful if the norm of the matrixJ(x) ^T J(x)t/det J(x) is bounded or, at least, grows slowly (for instance, linearly) as ¦x¦ t.

Methods of Small and Large δ in the Nonlinear Dynamics – A Comparative Analysis

New asymptotic approaches for dynamical systems containing a power nonlinear term x ⁿ are proposed and analyzed. Two natural limiting cases are studied: n 1 + , 1 and n . In the firstcase, the 'small method' (SM)is used and its applicability for dynamical problems with the nonlinearterm sin as well as the usefulness of the SMfor the problem with small denominators are outlined. For n , a new asymptotic approach is proposed(conditionally we call it the 'large method' –LM). Error estimations lead to the followingconclusion: the LM may be used, even for smalln, whereas the SM has a narrow application area. Both of the discussed approaches overlap all values ofthe parameter n.     

Theoretical and experimental investigations of low Mach number turbulent cavity flows

Theoretical and experimental investigations are conducted for rectangular cavities of varying sizes in low Mach number turbulent flows. Emphasis is put on the characterization of the generation of self-sustained oscillations in order to develop methods of active control applied to the aeroacoustics of cavity flows. A linearized stability analysis for low Mach number flows is proposed in which the interface of the cavity is modeled by a vorticity layer. Subsequently, the cavity flow is investigated experimentally in a subsonic wind tunnel, using pressure measurements and a phase-locked particle image velocimetry system. Experimental results indicate that the oscillation process is governed by convective waves, with no definite influence of convected vortical structures. The good agreement between the experimental data and the predictions given by the model allows the identification of the oscillations of the cavity interface via the parameters issued from the theoretical analysis.List of symbols c speed of sound, m/s - f frequency, Hz - G Greens function - h displacement of the vorticity layer, m - K_R Rayleigh conductivity of the aperture, m - k₀ acoustic wavenumber, rad/m - k,n, Rossiter formula parameters - M Mach number of the freestream - pressure, Pa - Q volume flux, m³/s - Re_L Reynolds number Re_L=UL/ - Re_x1 Reynolds number Re_x1=Ux₁/ - Re Reynolds number Re=U/ - S frequency based Strouhal number - T period, s - t time, s - U,U,U^± freestream velocity, m/s - v velocity, m/s - W,L,D model cavity dimensions, m - w,l,d analytical cavity dimensions, m - x,y Cartesian coordinates, m - boundary-layer thickness, m - vorticity thickness, m - * boundary-layer displacement thickness, m - ,^± velocity potential, m²/s - acoustic wavelength, m - kinematic viscosity, m²/s - boundary-layer momentum thickness, m - ₀ density, kg/m³ - pulsation based Strouhal number - angular frequency, rad/s - vorticity, s ^–1 - , non-dimensional coordinates x₁,y₁ - non-dimensional displacement h
