The numerical solution of the thin film flow surrounding a horizontal cylinder resulting from a vertical cylindrical jet

The numerical solution of the thin film flow surrounding a horizontal cylinder resulting from a single vertical cylindrical jet is obtained. This is effected by transforming the domain of the flow, which contains a free surface, onto a rectangular parallelepiped and using a marching strategy to solve the ensuing parabolic equations. The flow terminates at a finite distance along the cylinder, its position depending on the velocity and mass flux of the jet. A comparison with the usual two-dimensional model in which the jet is replaced by a vertical sheet shows that such a representation is valid provided the overall width of the flow is not too large. In particular, the differences in heat transfer characteristics amount to a few per cent, thus validating the use of the two-dimensional model when applied to heat exchanger tubes. A comparison with the more usual multicolumn case is also considered.     

On Strongly Petrovskii's Parabolic SPDEs in Arbitrary Dimension and Application to the Stochastic Cahn–Hilliard Equation

In this paper we show that the Cahn–Hilliard stochastic PDE has a function valued solution in dimension 4 and 5 when the perturbation is driven by a space-correlated Gaussian noise. We study the regularity of the trajectories of the solution and the absolute continuity of its law at some given time and position. This is done by showing a priori estimates which heavily depend on the specific equation, and by proving general results on stochastic and deterministic integrals involving general operators on smooth domains of ^d which are parabolic in the sense of Petrovskii, and do not necessarily define a semi-group of operators. These last estimates might be used in a more general framework.     

Positive Reachability for Diffusion Equations

Counterexamples are constructed for some plausible conjectures. Typical of these: as the Maximum Principle ensures that positive boundary data give a positive state at time T from 0 initial data, one might (plausibly, but falsely) conjecture that all positive terminal states should be approximately reachable in this way, i.e., subject to the requirement that the boundary data stays nonnegative.     

Nontrivial Solutions for a Semilinear Dirichlet Problem with Nonlinearity Crossing Multiple Eigenvalues

In this paper we prove that a semilinear elliptic boundary value problem has at least three nontrivial solutions when the range of the derivative of the nonlinearity includes at least the first two eigenvalues of the Laplacian and all solutions are nondegenerate. A pair are of one sign (positive and negative, respectively). The one sign solutions are of Morse index less than or equal to 1 and the third solution has Morse index greater than or equal to 2. Extensive use is made of the mountain pass theorem, and Morse index arguments of the type Lazer–Solimini (see Lazer and Solimini, Nonlinear Anal. 12(8), 761–775, 1988). Our result extends and complements a theorem of Cossio and Veléz, Rev. Colombiana Mat. 37(1), 25–36, 2003.AMS Subject classification: 35J20; 35J25; 35J60.Dedicated to Professor Shui-Nee Chow on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Non-linear Semigroup of a Class of Abstract Semilinear Functional Differential Equations with a Non-Dense Domain

In this work, we are concerned with a general class of abstract semilinear autonomous functional differential equations with a non-dense domain on a Banach space. Our objective is to study, using the Crandall-Liggett approach, the solutions as a semigroup of non-linear operators.
