Domain decomposition for an asymptotic geological fault modeling

We present in this paper a domain decomposition method to treat faults in geological basin modeling. The particularity of this model is that the faults whose widths are very small in comparison with the basin size, are not characterized as subdomains any more but as interfaces between sedimentary blocks. The originality of this work lies in the formulation of this new fault model and in the definition and the computation of the interface conditions between the subdomains.

Necessary optimality conditions and regularity results for state and adjoint state of nonlinear control problems

For optimal control problems of nonlinear evolution equations of first order we derive regularity properties for the corresponding adjoint states where the proof is based on the necessary optimal conditions and smoothness properites of the optimal states. These results are used for the characterization of the optimal solution and the corresponding adjoint state of the periodic three-dimensionel NAVIER-STOKES system.     

Application of the transmission line matrix method for outdoor sound propagation modelling – Part 1: Model presentation and evaluation

The present paper deals with an original time-domain approach applied to outdoor sound propagation under meteorological effects. The transmission line matrix method, based on the Huygens’ principle, had already been validated over impedant grounds and complex topography. The presented formulation proposes to take into account meteorological effects (wind speed and temperature) through the relative sound speed. The necessary wavefront direction is determined through the calculation of the averaged intensity vector direction. A good agreement is found between simulations of both the transmission line matrix and parabolic equation methods. A relevant use of the method is shown in the framework of environmental acoustics and initial applications are proposed in Part 2.     

The Different,but Interesting Behaviors of Benzyl Systems in the Willgerodt-Kindler Reaction under Solvent-Free Conditions

On the benzyl system, bearing various functional groups, have been carried out the Willgerodt-Kindler reaction to obtain thiobenzmorpholide ( 1 ). The reactions, under solvent-free conditions, were performed in both classical (reflux, room temperature) and nonclassical (microwave) conditions to attempt our elucidation of the reactions pathways. Unlike benzylamine and benzyl mercaptan, benzyl halides give poor result due to the type of amine. The experimental results suggest that the proposed reaction pathway involves the oxidation coupling of benzylic substrates, followed by a thiolation step and an attack of the amine on the thiolated product to give ( 1 ).

Sufficient optimality conditions in nondifferentiable optimization ∗

The concept of local cone approximations, introduced in recent years by Ester and Thierfelder, is a powerful tool for establishing optimality conditions. In this paper we show how to use it for obtaining sufficient optimality conditions in nondifferentiable optimization     

THE ADSORPTION OF AN ANIONIC SURFACTANT AT THE OIL WATER INTERFACE DURING EMULSION HOMOGENIZATION

Adsorption of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (NaDBS) on the surfaces of dispersed oil globules during homogenization of paraffin oil in water emulsions has been studied. NaDBS concentration was changed over a wide interval comprising critical micelle concentration. For the emulsions homogenized for different time intervals the total quantity and the percentage of NaDBS adsorbed, the amount and number of NaDBS molecules adsorbed per unit inter-facial area, as well as the specific surface area of dispersed phase and the area per emulsifier molecule have been determined.

The amount adsorbed and density of the emulsifier layer, I.e., the area per NaDBS molecule adsorbed on the oil globule surfaces, depend not only on Initial NaDBS concentration but also, on the homogenization time and the homogenization action. This makes a difference between the adsorption behaviour under the conditions of emulsion formation and its subsequent homogenization, and the adsorption behaviour of the emulsifier at a plane quiescent Interface.
