Some characteristic features of diffusion of a magnetic field into a moving conductor

The study of the diffusion of a magnetic field into a moving conductor is of interest in connection with the production of ultra-high-strength magnetic fields by rapid compression of conducting shells [1,2]. In [3,4] it is shown that when a magnetic field in a plane slit is compressed at constant velocity, the entire flux enters the conductor. In the present paper we formulate a general result concerning the conservation of the sum current in the cavity and conductor for arbitrary motion of the latter. We also consider a special case of conductor motion when the flux in the cavity remains constant despite the finite conductivity of the material bounding the magnetic field.Notation ₁, * flux which has diffused into the conductor - ₂ flux in the cavity - ₀ sum flux - r radius - r* cavity boundary - thickness of the skin layer - (r) delta function of r - t time - q intensity of the fluid sink - v velocity - flux which has diffused to a depth larger than r - x self-similar variable - dimensionless fraction of the flux which has diffused to a depth larger than r - * fraction of the flux which has diffused into the conductor - a conductivity - c electrodynamic constant - R_m magnetic Reynolds number - dimensionless parameter     

Tensiometer reaction related to its filter dimensions

A theoretical model for tensiometers is presented. It is based on a new physical considerations: the tensiometer filter is a quasi-saturated porous medium and the transmission fluid in the cavity is in hydrostatic equilibrium and is incompressible. The evolution equations form a complete system which could be used and coupled in a wide number of situations once filter dimensions and geometry have been correctly defined. The model is applied to tensiometer design and leads to new design recommendations. It predicts the existence of two distinct evolution modes for tensiometers. The time constant of the first varies linearly with the ratio of filter thickness to contact area and that of the second varies according to the square of the filter thickness and is independent on the contract area. The model leads to the formulation of an equation for fine-filter tensiometers. This extends Richards and Neal's equation by taking fine-filter geometry and gravity into account.Nomenclature A area of surfaceS _i - A _n ,B _n coefficients defined in Appendix B - C filter capacity - da boundary integration element - g constant gravity vector field - K permeability - L filter thickness - M _f mass of transmission fluid exchanged for a unit variation of the potential - M _mn components of a matrix defined in Appendix B - n porosity - n outward unit vector to filter rim (boundary) - N number of terms (Appendix B) - p pressure - P _i ,p _e internal, external pressure - q volume flux - r variable defined in Appendix B - r _n coefficients defined in Appendix B - S global sensitivity and gauge sensitivity - S _i ,S _e ,S _r filter rim - S _f saturation of filter - t time - U velocity of the transmission fluid in the cavity - V volume of filter - V _c volume of cavity - V _p volume of parasitic fluid - x positional vector - z spatial coordinate Greek Letters _p compressibility of the parasitic fluid - potential - _e potential outside of tensiometer - _i potential inside of tensiometer - ₀ initial potential - _p potential of parasitic fluid - adimensional parameter defined in (5.8) - conductance - dynamic viscosity - pi - density of transmission fluid - _p density of parasitic fluid - temporal parameter and time constant - adimensional temporal coordinate - adimensional spatial coordinate Symbols gradient operator - a·b scalar product ofa andb - a×b vector product ofa andb - partial derivative of with respect to - partial derivative of with respect to - mean geometrical value of _e(t,x) defined in (4.7) - x V x belongs toV     

Die Analogie zwischen den Verschiebungen und den Spannungsfunktionen in der Biegetheorie der Kreiszylinderschale

Zusammenfassung Für die Kreiszylinderschale wurde eine Biegetheorie aufgestellt, in der die Gleichgewichtsbedingungen (unter Voraussetzung der Symmetrie des Momententensors M _ik ) durch drei Spannungsfunktionen ₁, ₂, ₃ exakt erfüllt sind. Bei der Definition der Deformationsgrößen und der Einführung der Elastizitätsgesetze war die Reißner-Meißnersche Theorie der symmetrisch belasteten Rotationsschale das Vorbild. Die drei Differentialgleichungen für die Verschiebungen _{1 2}, ₃ unterscheiden sich von den drei Differentialgleichungen für die Spannungsfunktionen ₁, ₂, ₃ formal nur im Vorzeichen der Poissonschen Querkontraktionsziffer v. Die beiden Differentialgleichungen achter Ordnung, die man nach Eliminationsprozessen sowohl für ₃ als auch für ₃ erhält, unterscheiden sich nicht mehr voneinander. So trifft man bei der Zylinderschale die Timpe-Wieghardtsche Analogie zwischen Durchbiegung ₃ der Platte und Airyscher Spannungsfunktion ₃ der Scheibe wieder.Es konnte ferner gezeigt werden, daß unsere neue Biegetheorie der bekannten Flüggeschen Theorie an Genauigkeit nicht nachsteht.Es ist wohl nicht zu bezweifeln, daß auch bei Schalen beliebiger Gestalt unsere Analogie vorhanden ist. Sie scheint uns wertvoll als Ordnungsprinzip inmitten der Fülle von Gleichungen, die nun einmal zu einer Schalentheorie gehören.Die Formulierung des Schalenproblems mit Hilfe der drei Spannungsfunktionen ₁, ₂, ₃ wird sich immer dann empfehlen, wenn die Randbelastung vorgegeben ist. Denn dann lassen sich die Randbedingungen in den Spannungsfunktionen übersichtlicher formulieren als in den Verschiebungen. Auch die Gewißheit, daß selbst durch radikales Streichen lästiger Glieder in den Differentialgleichungen der Spannungsfunktionen die Gleichgewichtsbedingungen nicht verletzt werden, mag manchem Rechner angenehm sein.     

Dissipation effects on MHD free convection flow past a semi-infinite vertical plate

Viscous and Joule dissipation effects are considered on MHD free convection flow past a semi-infinite isothermal vertical plate under a uniform transverse magnetic field. Series solutions in powers of a dissipation number (=gx/c _p) have been employed and the resulting ordinary differential equations have been solved numerically. The velocity and temperature profiles are shown on graphs and the numerical values of ₁(0)/₀(0) (, temperature function) have been tabulated. It is observed that the dissipation effects in the MHD case become more dominant with increasing values of the magnetic field parameter (=M ²/(Gr _x /4)^1/2) and the Prandtl number.     

Ergodic Properties of Weak Asymptotic Pseudotrajectories for Semiflows

It is known that various deterministic and stochastic processes such as asymptotically autonomous differential equations or stochastic approximation processes can be analyzed by relating them to an appropriately chosen semiflow. Here, we introduce the notion of a stochastic process X being a weak asymptotic pseudotrajectory for a semiflow and are interested in the limiting behavior of the empirical measures of X. The main results are as follows: (1) the weak* limit points of the empirical measures for X axe almost surely -invariant measures; (2) given any semiflow , there exists a weak asymptotic pseudotrajectory X of such that the set of weak* limit points of its empirical measures almost surely equal the set of all ergodic measures for ; and (3) if X is an asymptotic pseudotrajectory for a semiflow , then conditions on that ensure convergence of the empirical measures are derived.     

An analytical solution for the velocity and shear rate distribution of non-ideal Bingham fluids in concentric cylinder viscometers

An analytical solution is presented for the calculation of the flow field in a concentric cylinder viscometer of non-ideal Bingham-fluids, described by the Worrall-Tuliani rheological model. The obtained shear rate distribution is a function of the a priori unknown rheological parameters. It is shown that by applying an iterative procedure experimental data can be processed in order to obtain the proper shear rate correction and the four rheological parameters of the Worrall-Tuliani model as well as the yield surface radius. A comparison with Krieger's correction method is made. Rheometrical data for dense cohesive sediment suspensions have been reviewed in the light of this new method. For these suspensions velocity profiles over the gap are computed and the shear layer thicknesses were found to be comparable to visual observations. It can be concluded that at low rotation speeds the actually sheared layer is too narrow to fullfill the gap width requirement for granular suspensions and slip appears to be unavoidable, even when the material is sheared within itself. The only way to obtain meaningfull measurements in a concentric cylinder viscometer at low shear rates seems to be by increasing the radii of the viscometer. Some dimensioning criteria are presented.Notation A, B Integration constants - C Dimensionless rotation speed = µ/_y - c = 2µ - d = ₀ ²–2c_y - f() = (–₀)²+2c(–_y) - r Radius - r _b Bob radius - r _c Cup radius - r _y Yield radius - r ₀ Stationary surface radius - r Rotating Stationary radius - Y ₀ Shear rate parameter = /µ Greek letters Shear rate - = (r _y /r _b )²– 1 - µ Bingham viscosity - µ₀ Initial differential viscosity - µ µ₀-µ - Rotation speed - Angular velocity - Shear stress - _b Bob shear stress - _B Bingham stress - _y (True) yield stress - ₀ Stress parameter = _B +µ Y ₀ - _B - _y      

Estimate of the transient conduction of heat in materials with linear thermal properties based on the solution for constant properties

A method of analysis is described which yields quasianalytical solutions for one and multidimensional unsteady heat conduction problems with linearly dependent thermal properties, such as thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat. The method accomodates rather general thermal boundary conditions including arbitrary variations in surface temperature or in surface heat flux or a convective exchange with a fluid having even varying temperature. Once the solution for the identical problem but with constant properties has been developed, its practical realization is rather direct, being facilitated by a reduced number of iterations. The four applied examples given in this work show that a wide variety of nonlinear heat conduction problems can be tackled by this procedure without much difficulty. These simple solutions compare favorably with more laborious results reported in the archival heat transfer literature.

Berechnung nichtstationärer Wärmeleitvorgänge mit linear temperaturabhängigen Stoffwerten aus der Lösung für konstante Stoffwerte

Zusammenfassung Es werden quasi-analytische Lösungen für ein- und mehrdimensionale nichtstationäre Wärmeleitprobleme mit linear temperaturabhängigen Stoffwerten, wie Wärmeleitfähigkeit und volumetrische Wärmekapazität, mitgeteilt. Die Methode gilt für recht allgemeine Randbedingungen wie beliebige Veränderungen der Oberflächentemperatur, der Wärmestromdichte oder auch konvektiven Wärmeaustausch mit veränderlicher Fluidtemperatur. Ist die Lösung für das identische Problem mit konstanten Stoffwerten bekannt, kann die Methode direkt mit einer begrenzten Zahl von Iterationen angewandt werden. Die vier hier mitgeteilten Beispiele zeigen, daß eine große Zahl nichtlinearer Wärmeleitprobleme auf diese Weise ohne Schwierigkeit angepackt werden können. Die einfachen Lösungen stimmen befriedigend mit komplizierteren Ergebnissen aus der Literatur überein.

Transport in ordered and disordered porous media I: The cellular average and the use of weighting functions

In this work we consider transport in ordered and disordered porous media using singlephase flow in rigid porous mediaas an example. We defineorder anddisorder in terms of geometrical integrals that arise naturally in the method of volume averaging, and we show that dependent variables for ordered media must generally be defined in terms of thecellular average. The cellular average can be constructed by means of a weighting function, thus transport processes in both ordered and disordered media can be treated with a single theory based on weighted averages. Part I provides some basic ideas associated with ordered and disordered media, weighted averages, and the theory of distributions. In Part II a generalized averaging procedure is presented and in Part III the closure problem is developed and the theory is compared with experiment. Parts IV and V provide some geometrical results for computer generated porous media.Roman Letters A interfacial area of the- interface contained within the macroscopic region, m² - A_e area of entrances and exits for the-phase contained within the macroscopic system, m² - g gravity vector, m/s² - I unit tensor - K traditional Darcy's law permeability tensor, m² - L general characteristic length for volume averaged quantities, m - characteristic length (pore scale) for the-phase - (y) weighting function - m(–y) (y), convolution product weighting function - _v special weighting function associated with the traditional averaging volume - N unit normal vector pointing from the-phase toward the-phase - p pressure in the-phase, N/m² - p0 reference pressure in the-phase, N/m² - p traditional intrinsic volume averaged pressure, N/m² - r0 radius of a spherical averaging volume, m - r position vector, m - r position vector locating points in the-phase, m - averaging volume, m³ - V volume of the-phase contained in the averaging volume, m³ - V _cell volume of a unit cell, m³ - v velocity vector in the-phase, m/s - v traditional superficial volume averaged velocity, m/s - x position vector locating the centroid of the averaging volume or the convolution product weighting function, m - y position vector relative to the centroid, m - y position vector locating points in the-phase relative to the centroid, m Greek Letters indicator function for the-phase - Dirac distribution associated with the- interface - V/V, volume average porosity - mass density of the-phase, kg/m³ - viscosity of the-phase, Ns/m²     

Nonlinear static behavior of a cantilever subjected to an inclined follower force

The nonlinear static behavior of a linearly elastic cantilever subjected to a nonconservative force of the follower type is formulated and examined. The formulation allows for finite rotations with small strains (the elastica). Exact solutions are found. The investigation is greatly facilitated by means of a phase plane analysis in which the phase plane variables are related to slope angle and bending moment. Some of the interesting and unusual effects occurring in this system are discussed and illustrated with a set of deflection curves for a typical case.Nomenclature x, y coordinates of a point on the deformed elastic axis - slope angle - s arc length - L length of beam (assumed constant) - x _L , y _L , _L values of x, y, at s=L - P applied force - constant angle between P and end tangent - angle between P and the horizontal - EI beam stiffness (assumed constant) - u, dimensionless variables defined by (7) and (8) - c ² load parameter defined by (10) - k, transformation parameters defined by (21) - F(, k), E(, k) elliptic integrals of the first and second kind - argument of elliptic integrals - ₀, ₁ values of at u=0 and u=1 - m, n positive integers - N mode number

Shearing stresses in shafts with deep longitudinal grooves

Summary The stress functions(, y) of shafts with deep longitudinal grooves may be represented by(, y) =F(x, y) –(, y) whereF(x, y) is the stress function of a cylindrical shaft without grooves and(, y) denotes the potential function of the source-sink system. It is shown that the shearing stresses in rotors of screw-compressors may be obtained in this way.

     

The Conjugacy of Stochastic and Random Differential Equations and the Existence of Global Attractors

We consider stochastic differential equations in d-dimensional Euclidean space driven by an m-dimensional Wiener process, determined by the drift vector field f₀ and the diffusion vector fields f₁,...,f_m, and investigate the existence of global random attractors for the associated flows . For this purpose is decomposed into a stationary diffeomorphism given by the stochastic differential equation on the space of smooth flows on R^d driven by m independent stationary Ornstein Uhlenbeck processes z¹,...,z^m and the vector fields f₁,...,f_m, and a flow generated by the nonautonomous ordinary differential equation given by the vector field (_t/x)^–1[f₀(_t)+ _i=1 ¹ f_i(_t)z _t ⁱ ]. In this setting, attractors of are canonically related with attractors of . For , the problem of existence of attractors is then considered as a perturbation problem. Conditions on the vector fields are derived under which a Lyapunov function for the deterministic differential equation determined by the vector field f₀ is still a Lyapunov function for , yielding an attractor this way. The criterion is finally tested in various prominent examples.

It is proved in this paper that for someh ₀ > 0 and allh ]0, h₀[, the setN isolates an invariant setK(h) of(h) and the discrete Conley index ofK(h) coincides with the continuous Conley index ofK.     

Asymptotic Nusselt numbers for Newtonian flow through a parallel-plate channel with recycle

General expressions for evaluating the asymptotic Nusselt number for a Newtonian flow through a parallel-plate channel with recycle at the ends have been derived. Numerical results with the ratio of thicknesses as a parameter for various recycle ratios are obtained. A regression analysis shows that the results can be expressed by log Nur^0.83=0.3589 (log)² -0.2925 (log) + 0.3348 forR 3, 0.1 0.9; logNu=0.5982(log)² +0.3755 × 10^–2 (log) +0.8342 forR 10^–2, 0.1 0.9.

Flow through a helically coiled annulus

In this paper the flow is studied of an incompressible viscous fluid through a helically coiled annulus, the torsion of its centre line taken into account. It has been shown that the torsion affects the secondary flow and contributes to the azimuthal component of velocity around the centre line. The symmetry of the secondary flow streamlines in the absence of torsion, is destroyed in its presence. Some stream lines penetrate from the upper half to the lower half, and if is further increased, a complete circulation around the centre line is obtained at low values of for all Reynolds numbers for which the analysis of this paper is valid, being the ratio of the torsion of the centre line to its curvature.Nomenclature A =constant - a outer radius of the annulus - b unit binormal vector to C - C helical centre line of the pipe - D rL - g 1000 - K Dean number=Re² - L 1+r sin - M (L ²+ ² r ²)^1/2 - n unit normal vector to C - P, P pressure and nondimensional pressure - p ₀, p pressures of O(1) and O() - Re Reynolds number=aW ₀/ - (r, , s), (r, , s) coordinates and nondimensional coordinates - nonorthogonal unit vectors along the coordinate directions - r ₀ radius of the projection of C - t unit tangent vector to C - V _r, V , V _s velocity components along the nonorthogonal directions - V_r, V, V _s nondimensional velocity components along - W ₀ average velocity in a straight annulus Greek symbols , curvature and nondimensional curvature of C - U, V, W lowest order terms for small in the velocity components along the orthogonal directions t - _r, , _s first approximations to V _r , V, V _s for small - =/=/ - kinematic viscosity - density of the fluid - , torsion and nondimensional torsion of C - , stream function and nondimensional stream function - nondimensional streamfunction for U, V - a inner radius of the annulus After this paper was accepted for publication, a paper entitled On the low-Reynolds number flow in a helical pipe, by C.Y.

Dielectric properties of the composite system polyurethane — sodium chloride

Summary The dielectric properties of the composite system polyurethane-sodium chloride have been measured at frequencies between 10^–4 Hz and 3 · 10⁵ Hz in the temperature range from –150 °C up to +90 dgC. Three dielectric loss mechanisms have been found; they are indicated by ₁, ₂ and. The activation energy of the ₁-transition is 35 kcal/mole, that of the-transition 6.7 kcal/mole. The ₂-loss peak was only observed at frequencies of 10³ Hz and higher, forming one broad peak with the ₁-loss peak at lower frequencies. In the composite materials, the- and ₂-loss peaks measured at fixed frequencies were found at the same temperature. The ₂-loss peak, however, was shifted to a lower temperature, due to the sodium chloride filler. Comparison of experimental data of and tan with theoretical predictions concerning the dielectric properties of composite systems showed only partial agreement. The difference mainly consisted in. the temperature shift in the tan-peak of the ₁-transition.

On the thermodynamics of elastic-plastic materials with temperature-dependent moduli and yield stresses

Summary The subject of this article is the thermodynamics of perfect elastic-plastic materials undergoing unidimensional, but not necessarily isothermal, deformations. The first and second laws of thermodynamics are employed in a form in which only the following quantities appear: the temperature , the elastic strain _e, the plastic strain _p, the elastic modulus (gq), the yield strain (gq), the heat capacity (_e, _p,), the latent elastic heat _e(_e, _p, ), and the latent plastic heat _p(_e, _p, ). Relations among the response functions , , , _e, and _p are derived, and it is shown that a set of these relations gives a necessary and sufficient condition for compliance with the laws of thermodynamics. Some observations are made about the existence and uniqueness of energy and entropy as functions of state.Dedicated to Clifford Truesdell on the occasion of his 60th birthdayThis research was supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation.     

Uniqueness and the maximum principle for quasilinear elliptic equations with quadratic growth conditions

In this paper, we show that the maximum principle holds for quasilinear elliptic equations with quadratic growth under general structure conditions.Two typical particular cases of our results are the following. On one hand, we prove that the equation (1) {ie77-01} where {ie77-02} and {ie77-03} satisfies the maximum principle for solutions in H ¹()L(), i.e., that two solutions u ₁, u ₂H¹() L() of (1) such that u ₁u₂ on , satisfy u ₁u₂ in . This implies in particular the uniqueness of the solution of (1) in H ₀ ¹ ()L().On the other hand, we prove that the equation (2) {ie77-04} where fH^–1() and g(u)>0, g(0)=0, satisfies the maximum principle for solutions uH¹() such that g(u)¦Du|{²L¹(). Again this implies the uniqueness of the solution of (2) in the class uH ₀ ¹ () with g(u)¦Du|{²L¹().In both cases, the method of proof consists in making a certain change of function u=(v) in equation (1) or (2), and in proving that the transformed equation, which is of the form (3) {ie77-05}satisfies a certain structure condition, which using ((v₁ -v ₂)⁺)ⁿ for some n>0 as a test function, allows us to prove the maximum principle.

On the influence of transvers-curvature and density in inhomogeneous turbulent free jets

The prediction of turbulent flows based on the k- model is extended to include the influence of transverse-curvature and density on the turbulent transport mechanisms. The empirical constants involved are adjusted such that the best agreement between predictions and experimental results is obtained. Using a transformation the boundary layer equations are solved numerically by means of a finite difference method of Hermitian type. The extended model is applied to predict the axisymmetric jet with variable density. The results of the calculations are in agreement with measurements.

Reservoir transport equations by compositional approach

The objective of this paper is to present an overview of the fundamental equations governing transport phenomena in compressible reservoirs. A general mathematical model is presented for important thermo-mechanical processes operative in a reservoir. Such a formulation includes equations governing multiphase fluid (gas-water-hydrocarbon) flow, energy transport, and reservoir skeleton deformation. The model allows phase changes due to gas solubility. Furthermore, Terzaghi's concept of effective stress and stress-strain relations are incorporated into the general model. The functional relations among various model parameters which cause the nonlinearity of the system of equations are explained within the context of reservoir engineering principles. Simplified equations and appropriate boundary conditions have also been presented for various cases. It has been demonstrated that various well-known equations such as Jacob, Terzaghi, Buckley-Leverett, Richards, solute transport, black-oil, and Biot equations are simplifications of the compositional model.Notation List B reservoir thickness - B formation volume factor of phase - Cⁱ mass of component i dissolved per total volume of solution - C ⁱ mass fraction of component i in phase - C heat capacity of phase at constant volume - C_p heat capacity of phase at constant pressure - D ⁱ hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient of component i in phase - D_MTf thermal liquid diffusivity for fluid f - F = F(x, y, z, t) defines the boundary surface - f_p fractional flow of phase - g gravitational acceleration - H_p enthalpy per unit mass of phase - J_p volumetric flux of phase - k_rf relative permeability to fluid f - k₀ absolute permeability of the medium - M_p ⁱ mass of component i in phase - n porosity - N rate of accretion - P_f pressure in fluid f - p_ca capillary pressure between phases and =p-p - Rⁱ rate of mass transfer of component i from phase to phase - Rⁱ _source source rate of component i within phase - S saturation of phase - s gas solubility - T temperature - t time - U displacement vector - u velocity in the x-direction - v velocity in the y-direction - V volume of phase - V_s velocity of soil solids - W_i body force in coordinate direction i - x horizontal coordinate - z vertical coordinate Greek Letters _p volumetric coefficient of compressibility - _T volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion - _ij Kronecker delta - volumetric strain - _m thermal conductivity of the whole matrix - internal energy per unit mass of phase - gf suction head - density of phase - _ij tensor of total stresses - _ij tensor of effective stresses - volumetric content of phase - f viscosity of fluid f     

Optimal estimates for the uncoupling of differential equations

Our aim in this note is to give optimal conditions on the spectral gap for the existence of an uncoupling of a differential equation of the form = Cz + H(=) into a system ofuncoupled equations of the form (x, y) = (Ax, By) + (F(x, (x)), G((y),y)), whereC=A×B is a bounded linear operator on a Banach spaceZ=X×Y satisfying a spectral gap condition, andH=(F,G) is a Lipschitz function withH(0) = 0. We also give optimal conditions for the regularity of the manifoldsgraph andgraph , and optimal conditions for the regularity of the leaves of two foliations of the phase space associated to the uncoupling. Sharp estimates for the Lipschitz constant of and and for the Hölder exponent of the uncoupling homeomorphism and its inverse are also given.
