The crumbling of a viscous prism with an inclined free surface

Summary We study the two-dimensional instantaneous Stokes flow driven by gravity in a viscous triangular prism supported by a horizontal rigid substrate and a vertical wall. The oblique side of the prism, inclined at an angle α with respect to the substrate, is a fluid-air interface, where the stresses are zero and surface tension is neglected. We develop the stream function ψ in polar coordinates (r,θ) centered at the vertex of α and split it into an inhomogeneous part, which accounts for gravity effects, and a homogeneous part, which is expressed as a series expansion. The inhomogeneous part and the first term of the expansion may be envisioned, respectively, as self-similar solutions of the first kind and of the second kind for r→0, each one holding in complementary α domains with a crossover at α _c =21.47^∘, which we study in some detail. The coefficients of the series are calculated by truncating the expansion and using the method of direct collocation with a suitable set of points at the wall. The solution strictly holds for t=0, because later the free surface ceases to be a plane; nevertheless, it provides a good approximation for the early time evolution of the fluid profile, as shown by the comparison with numerical simulations. For 0<α<45^∘, the vertex angle remains constant and the edge remains strictly at rest; the transition at α _c manifests itself through a change in the rate of growth of the curvature. The time at which the edge starts to move (waiting time) cannot be calculated since the instantaneous solution ceases to be valid. For α>45^∘, the instantaneous local solution indicates that the surface near the vertex is launched against the substrate so that the edge starts to move immediately with a power law dependence on time t. However, due to the high value of the exponent, the vertex may seem to be at rest for some finite time even in this case. Received 29 August 1997; accepted for publication 21 January 1998     

定态火焰在可燃预混气中产生的压力波

火焰在可燃预混气中传播时，在火焰面前方产生一道压力波。忽略点火及火焰的初期加速，仅考虑火焰达到稳定传播速度的情况。用Ｏｐｅｎｈｅｉｍ自相似解分析流场，得到相应的控制方程及定解条体；用自适应步长的四阶Ｒｕｎｇｅ－Ｋｕｔｔａ法对方程积分，讨论了流场压力波结构及弱激波近似声波解；认为火焰为间断面，能量释放在火焰面后瞬时完成。利用火焰面两侧的能量关系，得到了火焰位置、燃速及对应Ｃ－Ｊ条件的火焰位置、Ｃ－Ｊ燃速。     

On the existence of self-similar solutions of the equations governing unsteady flow through a porous medium

In this paper the conditions for the existence of self-similar solutions of the equations governing unsteady flows through a porous medium are presented and discussed. The first two sections deal with the case of non-Newtonian fluids of power-law behavior; the third section analyzes the case of non-Darcy gas flows. The boundary and initial conditions occuring currently in a large class of fluid mechanics problems, of practical interest in engineering, are considered.     

Cantor集并的自相似性(英文)

本文研究了Cantor集和其并的自相似性.利用Cantor展式的方法,得到了关于Cantor集和迭代函数系的一个基本关系:T∪(T+α)为自相似的当且仅当存在一个非负整数n使得α=±(k2-k1)dn.进一步,若T∪(T+α)是自相似的,则它满足开集条件.     

基于自相似特性的局域网流量异常评估方法

针对现有的局域网评估模型不能提供局域网系统中数据传输安全的有效信息的缺陷,文中提出了一种通过分析局域网网关流量的自相似性变化,来对局域网系统的数据传输安全进行合理评估的方法.该方法通过选择合适的时间尺度,利用whittle估计器法计算多种测度的自相似系数,判断测度值是否偏离正常值范围来综合分析局域网流量的异常状况.在此基础上,提出了改进的局域网系统安全评估模型.实验证明,此方法能够反映网络攻击等多种原因导致的流量异常变化,提供给管理员直观的数据传输安全态势图.     

基于非线性渐增原理获得抛物线型自相似脉冲的研究

采用理论推导和数值模拟相结合的方法研究了脉冲在指数渐增的非线性渐增光纤(NIF)中的自相似演化。结果表明,与双曲渐减的正色散渐减光纤(ND-DDF)类似,利用指数渐增的NIF也可获得具有严格线性啁啾的抛物线型自相似脉冲。同时深入研究了ND-DDF和NIF两种增益等效方式对自相似演化特性的影响,结果表明:1)等效增益决定了脉冲自相似演化的结果,等效方式决定了脉冲自相似演化进程快慢;2)在具有相等的等效增益条件下,脉冲在指数渐增NIF和双曲渐减ND-DDF中演化为相同的自相似脉冲,但是前者对脉冲的自相似演化更高效,即前者实现自相似演化所需光纤长度更短;3)两种增益等效方式所需光纤长度的关系是使得各自具有相同的光纤有效放大因子。     

A construction of singular overlapping asymmetric self-similar measures

Summary In [8] we found a class of overlapping asymmetric self-similar measures on the real line, which are generically absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Here we construct exceptional measures in this class being singular.     

关于自相似集的Hausdorff测度的一个判据及其应用

讨论了满足开集条件的自相似集。对于此类分形，用自然覆盖类估计它的Hausdorff测度只能得到一个上限，因而如何判断某一个上限就是它的Hausdorff测度的准确值是一个重要的问题。本文给出了一个判据。作为应用，统一处理了一类自相似集，得到了平面上的一个Cantor集－Cantor尘的Hausdorff测度的准确值，并重新计算了直线上的Cantor集以及一个Sierpinski地毯的Hausdorff测度。
