RELAXATION TIME LIMITS PROBLEM FOR HYDRODYNAMIC MODELS IN SEMICONDUCTOR SCIENCE

In this article, two relaxation time limits, namely, the momentum relaxation time limit and the energy relaxation time limit are considered. By the compactness argument, it is obtained that the smooth solutions of the multidimensional nonisentropic Euler-Poisson problem converge to the solutions of an energy transport model or a drift diffusion model, respectively, with respect to different time scales.     

Logarithmic asymptotics of solutions of the large deviation problem for the boltzmann equation with small transfer of momentum

For the Boltzmann equation with small transfer of momentum, we derive a system of nonlinear integral-differential equations describing the logarithmic asymptotics of the solution to the Cauchy problem in the domain at the distanceO(1) from the support of the initial condition.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 64, No. 1, pp. 73–94, July, 1998.This research was partially supported by INTAS-RFBR under grant No. 95-91 in the case of the first author, and by INTAS under grant No. 96-0698 in the case of the second author.

Momentum transfer in an agitated vessel with off-centred impellers

Momentum transfer was investigated in an unbaffled agitated vessel of inner diameter 0.3 m equipped with different off-centred impellers. The distribution of the shear rate on the tank wall as a function of the impeller type and Reynolds number was studied in the turbulent regime of the Newtonian liquid flow. The dependences of the averaged dimensionless shear rate, friction coefficient, and dissipated energy on the Reynolds number and eccentricity ratio were approximated using four-parameter equations.

A new method for the derivation of exact vibration-rotational kinetic energy operator in internal coordinates

An efficient angular momentum method is presented and used to derive analytic expressions for the vibration-rotational kinetic energy operator of polyatomic molecules.The vibration-rotational kinetic energy operator is expressed in terms of the total angular momentum operator J,the angular momentum operator J and the momentum operator p conjugate to Z in the molecule-fixed frame Not only the method of derivation is simpler than that in the previous work,but also the expressions ot the kinetic energy operators arc more compact.Particularly,the operator is easily applied to different vibrational or rovibrational problems of the polyatomic molecules by variations of matrix elements Gn of a mass-dependent constant symmetric matrix     

Degradation in gain for a free electron laser amplifier due to electron momentum spread

A finite spread in axial momentum for the electron beam in a free electron laser amplifier is shown to decrease the small-signal gain. For millimeter and sub-millimeter wave amplifiers, where exponential growth dominates the gain, it is shown that the gain is approximately 3 db below that for a cold beam if the relative momentum spread (u/u)_1/2 = (G_o/248)^1/2 (_o/L), where G_o1 is the gain in db for the cold-beam case, _o is the magnetic wiggler period, and L is the amplifier length. Exact numerical examples are given for representative FEL amplifiers at 35 and 550 GHz.This research was sponsored by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, and by the U.S.-Israel Binational Science Foundation.     

Statistical inference and modelling of momentum in stock prices

The following results are obtained, (i) It is possible to obtain a time series of market data {y(t)} in which the fluctuations in fundamental value have been compensated for. An objective test of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH), which would predict random correlations about a constant value, is thereby possible, (ii) A time series procedure can be used to determine the extent to which the differences in the data and the moving averages are significant. This provides a model of the form y(t)-y(t-l)=0.5{y(t- l)-y(t-2)}+ε(t)+0.8ε(r-1) where ε(t) is the error at time t, and the coefficients 0.5 and 0.8 are determined from the data. One concludes that today's price is not a random perturbation from yesterday's; rather, yesterday's rate of change is a significant predictor of today's rate of change. This confirms the concept of momentum that is crucial to market participants. (iii) The model provides out-of-sample predictions that can be tested statistically. (iv) The model and coefficients obtained in this way can be used to make predictions on laboratory experiments to establish an objective and quantitative link between the experiments and the market data. These methods circumvent the central difficulty in testing market data, namely, that changes in fundamentals obscure intrinsic trends and autocorrelations. This procedure is implemented by considering the ratio of two similar funds (Germany and Future Germany) with the same manager and performing a set of statistical tests that have excluded fluctuations in fundamental factors. For the entire data of the first 1149 days beginning with the introduction of the latter fund, a standard runs test indicates that the data is 29 standard deviations away from that which would be expected under a hypothesis of random fluctuations about the fundamental value. This and other tests provide strong evidence against the efficient market hypothesis and in favour of autocorrelations in the data. An ARIMA time series finds strong evidence (9.6 and 21.6 standard deviations in the two coefficients) that the data is described by a model that involves the first difference, indicating that momentum is the significant factor. The first quarter's data is used to make out-of-sample predictions for the second quarter with results that are significant to 3 standard deviations. Finally, the ARIMA model and coefficients are used to make predictions on laboratory experiments of Porter and Smith in which the intrinsic value is clear. The model's forecasts are decidedly more accurate than that of the null hypothesis of random fluctuations about the fundamental value.     

Accuracy of high‐order density‐based compressible methods in low Mach vortical flows

At low Mach numbers, Godunov‐type approaches, based on the method of lines, suffer from an accuracy problem. This paper shows the importance of using the low Mach number correction in Godunov‐type methods for simulations involving low Mach numbers by utilising a new, well‐posed, two‐dimensional, two‐mode Kelvin–Helmholtz test case. Four independent codes have been used, enabling the examination of several numerical schemes. The second‐order and fifth‐order accurate Godunov‐type methods show that the vortex‐pairing process can be captured on a low resolution with the low Mach number correction applied down to 0.002. The results are compared without the low Mach number correction and also three other methods, a Lagrange‐remap method, a fifth‐order accurate in space and time finite difference type method based on the wave propagation algorithm, and fifth‐order spatial and third‐order temporal accurate finite volume Monotone Upwind Scheme for Conservation Laws (MUSCL) approach based on the Godunov method and Simple Low Dissipation Advection Upstream Splitting Method (SLAU) numerical flux with low Mach capture property. The ability of the compressible flow solver of the commercial software, ANSYS FLUENT , in solving low Mach flows is also demonstrated for the two time‐stepping methods provided in the compressible flow solver, implicit and explicit. Results demonstrate clearly that a low Mach correction is required for all algorithms except the Lagrange‐remap approach, where dissipation is independent of Mach number. © 2013 Crown copyright.
