A method for simultaneous estimation of inhomogeneous zeta potential and slip coefficient in microchannels

In the microchannels made of hydrophobic materials, the fluid velocity is determined by the zeta potential and velocity slip, both of which may be inhomogeneous due to the adsorption of protein to the channel wall. The inhomogeneity of zeta potential and slip coefficient sometimes causes recirculating flows which in turn affect the transport and mixing of solutes through the microchannels. In the present investigation we devise a method for the simultaneous estimation of inhomogeneous zeta potential and inhomogeneous slip coefficient using velocity measurements. A conjugate gradient method supplemented by the adjoint variable method is adopted in the solution of the relevant inverse problem to reduce the computational burden. The present method is found to estimate the inhomogeneous zeta potential and the slip coefficient simultaneously even with noisy velocity measurements. This method is expected to contribute to the optimal design and robust operation of various microfluidic devices, where the flow patterns and the volumetric flow rates are critically influenced by the profiles of inhomogeneous zeta potential and inhomogeneous slip coefficient.

Multiobjective Stochastic Control in Fluid Dynamics via Game Theory Approach: Application to the Periodic Burgers Equation

The purpose of the present work is to implement well-known statistical decision and game theory strategies into multiobjective stochastic control problems of fluid dynamics. Such goal is first justified by the fact that deterministic (either singleobjective or multiobjective) control problems that are obtained without taking into account the uncertainty of the model are usually unreliable. Second, in most real-world problems, several goals must be satisfied simultaneously to obtain an optimal solution and, as a consequence, a multiobjective control approach is more appropriate. Therefore, we develop a multiobjective stochastic control algorithm for general fluid dynamics applications, based on the Bayes decision, adjoint formulation and the Nash equilibrium strategies. The algorithm is exemplified by the multiobjective stochastic control of a periodic Burgers equation.     

Two-dimensional symmetry reduction of (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation

In this paper, one-dimensional optimal system of group invariant solutions of (2 + 1)-dimensional Klein–Gordon system is constructed. Then the classification of group invariant solutions is given out and the corresponding two-dimensional symmetry reduced equations are obtained. At last some symmetry transformations are gained in detail. Especially, we obtain the most general solution from a given solution by use of six variable one-parameter subgroups transformations.     

Adjoint Method for an Inverse Problem of CCPF Model

The problem for determining the exchange rate function of 2D CCPF model by measurements on the partial boundary is considered and solved as one PDE-constraint optimization problem. The optimal variant is the minimum of a cost functional that quantifies the difference between the measurements and the exact solutions. Gradientbased algorithm is used to solve this optimization problem. At each step, the derivative of the cost functional with respect to the exchange rate function is calculated and only one forward solution and one adjoint solution are needed. One method based on the adjoint equation is developed and implemented. Numerical examples show the efficiency of the adjoint method.

An error estimate for matrix equations

This paper proposes a new method for estimating the error in the solution of matrix equations. The estimate is based on the adjoint method in combination with small sample statistical theory. It can be implemented simply and is inexpensive to compute. Numerical examples are presented which illustrate the power and effectiveness of the new method.
