This paper presents a series of novel representations for the solutions of the Helmholtz equation in a broad class of wedge-like domains including those with curvilinear, non-flat faces. These representations are obtained by an original method which combines ray theory with the probabilistic approach to partial differential equations and uses a specific technique to deal with a need for analytical continuation of the specified boundary function. The main results are reminiscent of the standard Feynman–Kac formula but differ in that the averaging over solutions of stochastic differential equations is replaced by averaging over the trajectories of a new two-scale random motion introduced here. The paper focuses on the development of the solutions and for this reason it includes only a brief outline of numerous applications, consequences, extensions and variations of the method, which include, but are not limited to, problems of diffraction and scattering, problems in three-dimensional domains and problems of wave propagation in non-homogeneous media.

General Method

In this work, we introduce a general method to deduce spectral functional equations and, thus, the generalized Wiener–Hopf equations (GWHEs) for wave motion in angular regions filled by arbitrary linear homogeneous media and illuminated by sources localized at infinity with application to electromagnetics. The functional equations are obtained by solving vector differential equations of first order that model the problem. The application of the boundary conditions to the functional equations yields GWHEs for practical problems. This paper shows the general theory and the validity of GWHEs in the context of electromagnetic applications with respect to the current literature. Extension to scattering problems by wedges in arbitrarily linear media in different physics will be presented in future works.

Abstract The present investigation concentrates on three dimensional unsteady forced bio-convection flow of a viscous fluid. An incompressible flow of a micropolar nanofluid encloses micro-organisms past an exponentially stretching sheet with magnetic field is analyzed. By employing convenient transformation the partial differential equations are converted into the ordinary differential equations which are non-linear. By using shooting method to solved these equations numerically. The influence of the determining parameters on the velocity, temperature, micro-rotation, nanoparticle volume fraction, microorganism are incorporated. The skin friction, heat transfer rate, and the microorganism rate are analyzed. The results depicts that the value of the wall shear stress and Nusselt number are declined while an enhancement take place in the microorganism number. The slip parameters increases the velocity, thermal energy, and microorganism number consequentially. The present investigation are important in improving achievement of microbial fuel cells.

Practical Implications

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to establish an adaptive assembly, to realize the adaptive changing of the models and to improve the flexibility and reliability of assembly change. For a three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) assembly in a changing process, there are two practical problems. One is delivering parameters’ information not smoothly. The other one is to easily destroy an assembly structure. Design/methodology/approach – The paper establishes associated parameters design structure matrix of related parts, and predicts possible propagation paths of the parameters. Based on the predicted path, structured storage is made for the affected parameters, tolerance range and the calculation relations. The study combines structured path information and all constrained assemblies to build the adaptive assembly, proposes an adaptive change algorithm for assembly changing and discusses the extendibility of the adaptive assembly. Findings – The approach would improve the flexibility and reliability of assembly change and be applied to different CAD platform. Practical implications – The examples illustrate the construction and adaptive behavior of the assembly and verify the feasibility and reasonability of the adaptive assembly in practical application. Originality/value – The adaptive assembly model proposed in the paper is an original method to assembly change. And compared with other methods, good results have been obtained.

In this paper, we establish a dynamic model of the hyper-chaotic finance system which is composed of four sub-blocks: production, money, stock and labor force. We use four first-order differential equations to describe the time variations of four state variables which are the interest rate, the investment demand, the price exponent and the average profit margin. The hyper-chaotic finance system has simplified the system of four dimensional autonomous differential equations. According to four dimensional differential equations, numerical simulations are carried out to find the nonlinear dynamics characteristic of the system. From numerical simulation, we obtain the three dimensional phase portraits that show the nonlinear response of the hyper-chaotic finance system. From the results of numerical simulation, it is found that there exist periodic motions and chaotic motions under specific conditions. In addition, it is observed that the parameter of the saving has significant influence on the nonlinear dynamical behavior of the four dimensional autonomous hyper-chaotic system.

AbstractThis investigation analyses a three dimensional flow and mass transfer of a second grade fluid over a porous stretching wall in the presence of suction or injection. The equations governing the flow are attained in terms of partial differential equations. A similarity transformation has been utilized for the transformation of partial differential equations into the ordinary differential equations. The solutions of the nonlinear systems are given by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). A comparative study with the previous results of a viscous fluid has been made. The convergence of the series solution has also been considered explicitly. The influence of admissible parameters on the flows is delineated through graphs and appropriate results are presented. In addition, it is found that instantaneous suction and injection reduce viscous drag on the stretching sheet. It is also shown that suction or injection of a fluid through the surface is an example of mass transfer and it can change the flow field.

A method based on the Radon transform is presented to determine the displacement field in a general anisotropic solid due to the application of a time-harmonic point force. The Radon transform reduces the system of coupled partial differential equations for the displacement components to a system of coupled ordinary differential equations. This system is reduced to an uncoupled form by the use of properties of eigenvectors and eigenvalues. The resulting simplified system can be solved easily. A back transformation to the original coordinate system and a subsequent application of the inverse Radon transform yields the displacements as a summation of a regular elastodynamic term and a singular static term. Both terms are integrals over a unit sphere. For the regular dynamic term, the surface integration can be evaluated numerically without difficulty. For the singular static term, the surface integral has been reduced to a line integral over half a unit circle. Reductions to the cases of isotropy and transverse isotropy have been worked out in detail. Examples illustrate applications of the method.

Purpose. Substantiation of expediency and admissibility of use of the simplified calculation models of a coal seam roof for an estimation of its stability under the action of external loadings. Methods. To achieve this purpose, the studies have been performed using the basic principles of the theory of elasticity and bending of plates, in which the coal seam roof is represented as a model of a rectangular plate or a beam with a symmetrical cross-section with different support conditions. Results. To substantiate and select methods for studying the bending deformations of the roof in the coal massif containing the maingates, the three-dimensional base plate model and the beam model are compared, taking into account the kinematic boundary conditions and the influence of external distributed load. Using the theory of plate bending, the equations for determining the deflections of the coal seam roof in three-dimensional basic models under certain assumptions have a large dimension. After the conditional division of the plate into beams of unit width and symmetrical section, when describing the normal deflections of the middle surface of the studied models, the transition from the partial derivative equation to the usual differential equations is carried out. In this case, the studies of bending deformations of roof rocks are reduced to solving a flat problem in the cross-section of the beam. A comparison of solutions obtained by the methods of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity and strength of materials was performed. For a beam with a symmetrical section, the deflection lies in a plane whose angle of inclination coincides with the direction of the applied load. The calculations did not take into account the difference between the intensity of the surface load applied to the beam. Differences in determining the magnitude of the deflections of the roof in the model of the plate concerning the model of the beam reach 5%, which is acceptable for mining problems. Scientific novelty. To study the bending deformations and determine the magnitude of the roof deflection in models under external uniform distributed load, placed within the simulated plate, a strip of unit width was selected, which has a symmetrical cross-section and is a characteristic component of the plate structure and it is considered as a separate load-bearing element with supports, the cross-sections of this element is remained flat when bending. The deflection of such a linear element is described by the differential equations of the bent axis of the beam without taking into account the integral stiffness of the model, and the vector of its complete displacement coincides with the vector of the force line. Practical significance. In the laboratory, to study the bending deformations and their impact on the stability of the coal seam roof under external loads, it is advisable to use a model of a single width beam with a symmetrical section with supports, the type of which is determined by rock pressure control and secondary support of the maingate at the extraction layout of the coal mine.

Acoustic Scattering Problems

Abstract The boundary element method is an established numerical tool for the analysis of acoustic pressure fields in an infinite domain. There is currently no well established method of estimating the surface pressure error distribution for an arbitrary three dimensional body. Hierarchical shape functions have been used as a highly effective form of p refinement in many finite and boundary element applications. Their ability to be used as an error estimator in acoustic analysis has never been fully exploited. This paper studies the influence of mesh density and interpolation order on several acoustic scattering problems. A hierarchical error estimator is implemented and its effectiveness verified against the spherical problem. A coarse cylindrical mesh is then refined using the new error estimator until the solution has converged. The effectiveness of this analysis is shown by comparing the error indicators derived during the analysis to the solution generated from a very fine cylindrical mesh.
