Stability for basic system of equations of atmospheric rhotion

The topological characteristics for the basic system of equations of atmo- spheric motion were analyzed with the help of method provided by stratification theory.It was proved that in the local rectangular coordinate system the basic system of equations of atmospheric motion is stable in infinitely differentiable function class.In the sense of local solution,the necessary and sufficient conditions by which the typical problem for determining solution is well posed were also given.Such problems as something about“speculating future from past”in atmospheric dynamics and how to amend the condi- tions for determining solution as well as the choice of underlying surface when involving the practical application were further discussed.It is also pointed out that under the usual conditions,three motion equations and continuity equation in the basic system of equations determine entirely the property of this system of equations.     

Dynamic problems for and stress–strain state of inhomogeneous shell structures under stationary and nonstationary loads

This paper reviews studies and analyzes results on the effect of discrete ribs on the dynamic characteristics of rectangular plates and cylindrical shells. Use is made of the vibration equations derived from the classical theories of beams, plates, and shells. The effect of Pasternak’s elastic foundation on the critical velocities of a structurally orthotropic model of a ribbed cylindrical shell is determined. Nonstationary problems are solved for perforated and ribbed shells of revolution filled with a fluid or resting on an elastic foundation and subjected to moving or impulsive loads. Results from studies of the behavior of sandwich shell structures under impulsive loads of various types are presented

Then the exact solutions generated from the symmetries and Painlevé analysis are presented.     

A combination of parabolized Navier–Stokes equations and level-set method for stratified two-phase internal flow

A novel methodology is proposed for the numerical computation of pressure-driven gravity-stratified flows along channels comprising two immiscible phases. The parabolized Navier–Stokes equations are combined with the level set approach, resulting into a downstream-marching problem in which the solution is computed at each cross-section based on upstream information only. A main difficulty in the implementation of the approach for internal flows is the conservation of the mass flow rates, which is addressed by extending to two-phase flows the method proposed by Patankar and Spalding (1972) and Raythby and Schneider (1979), and by adding an explicit forcing term in the equation for the advection of the level function. The combination of high-order finite differences and sparse storage and algebra used here allows a fully-coupled integration of the parabolized equations, as opposed to the more classical segregated approaches. This enables a very efficient calculation of the complete downstream-developing flow field.     

Simulation and stability analysis of impacting systems with complete chattering

This paper considers dynamical systems that are derived from mechanical systems with impacts. In particular we will focus on chattering—accumulation of impacts—for which local discontinuity mappings will be derived. We will first show how to use these mappings in simulation schemes, and secondly how the mappings are used to calculate the stability of limit cycles with chattering by solving the first variational equations.     

Long-time behavior and convergence for semilinear wave equations on ℝ N

We prove that any bounded solution (u, u ₁) ofu _u +du _t –u+f(u)=0,u=u(x, t), x^N,N3, converges to a fixed stationary state provided its initial energy is appropriately small. The theory of concentrated compactness is used in combination with some recent results concerning the uniqueness of the so-called ground-state solution of the corresponding stationary problem.     

“Simple” solutions of the equations of dynamics for a polytropic gas

The notion of a “simple” solution of a system of differential equations that admit a local Lie group G of transformations of the basic space is considered as an invariant H-solution of type (0, 0) with respect to the subgroup HυG. Such solutions are attractive since they are described by explicit formulas that provide a clear physical interpretation for them. For gas-dynamic equations with a polytropic gas law, all simple solutions that are not related to special forms of gas flow are listed. Examples of simple solutions are given and the collapse phenomenon, which has been previously studied for barochronic flows, is described.

Path integral solutions for n-dimensional stochastic differential equations under α-stable Lévy excitation

In this paper, the path integral solutions for a general n-dimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with -stable Lévy noise are derived and verified. Firstly, the governing equations for the solutions of n-dimensional SDEs under the excitation of -stable Lévy noise are obtained through the characteristic function of stochastic processes. Then, the short-time transition probability density function of the path integral solution is derived based on the Chapman-Kolmogorov-Smoluchowski (CKS) equation and the characteristic function, and its correctness is demonstrated by proving that it satisfies the governing equation of the solution of the SDE, which is also called the Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation. Besides, illustrative examples are numerically considered for highlighting the feasibility of the proposed path integral method, and the pertinent Monte Carlo solution is also calculated to show its correctness and effectiveness.     

Conformal invariance and conserved quantity of Mei symmetry for Appell equations in a nonholonomic system of Chetaev’s type

For a nonholonomic system of Chetaev’s type, the conformal invariance and the conserved quantity of Mei symmetry for Appell equations are investigated. First, under the infinitesimal one-parameter transformations of group and the infinitesimal generator vectors, Mei symmetry and conformal invariance of differential equations of motion for the system are defined, and the determining equation of Mei symmetry and conformal invariance for the system are given. Then, by means of the structure equation to which the gauge function is satisfied, the Mei-conserved quantity corresponding to the system is derived. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the application of the result.     

TDGL and mKdV equations for car-following model considering driver’s anticipation

Car-following models are proposed to describe the jamming transition in traffic flow on a highway. In this paper, a new car-following model considering the driver’s forecast effect is investigated to describe the traffic jam. The nature of the model is studied using linear and nonlinear analysis method. A thermodynamic theory is formulated to describe the phase transition and critical phenomenon in traffic flow and the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau (TDGL) equation is derived to describe the traffic flow near the critical point. It is also shown that the modified Korteweg-de Veris (mKdV) equation is derived to describe the traffic jam. The connection between the TDGL and the mKdV equations is given.     

Analysis of the localization of deformation and the complete stress–strain relation for mesoscopic heterogeneous brittle rock under dynamic uniaxial tensile loading

Stress redistribution induced by excavation results in the tensile zone in parts of the surrounding rock mass. It is significant to analyze the localization of deformation and damage, and to study the complete stress–strain relation for mesoscopic heterogeneous rock under dynamic uniaxial tensile loading. On the basis of micromechanics, the complete stress–strain relation including linear elasticity, nonlinear hardening, rapid stress drop and strain softening is obtained. The behaviors of rapid stress drop and strain softening are due to localization of deformation and damage. The constitutive model, which analyze localization of deformation and damage, is distinct from the conventional model. Theoretical predictions have shown to consistent with the experimental results.     

An equation of state and detonation properties of hydrazine–nitromethane liquid mixtures

Binary mixtures of hydrazine and nitromethane were found to be non-ideal associated solutions. An equation of state (EOS) of the hydrazine–nitromethane solutions has been developed. This EOS takes into account the possibility of the formation of associated molecules due to interactions between hydrazine and nitromethane molecules. EOS parameters, including a possible chemical formula for the associate and its standard heat of formation and entropy, have been determined. Thermodynamic calculations of detonation parameters of the hydrazine–nitromethane system have been done by means of the TDS code for a wide range of hydrazine content in the explosive mixture (0–80 wt.%). The reliability of the results is guaranteed by using both an accurate, theoretically justified EOS for detonation products, which is derived from first principles of statistical mechanics, and realistic potentials for intermolecular interactions. It was shown that the use of the proposed EOS of the hydrazine–nitromethane solutions considerably improves the accuracy of the predicted detonation properties of the solutions and, furthermore, allows one to evaluate their shock sensitivity.
