The aim of this paper is to compare the heave and pitch motions for the S175 containership, travelling in head regular waves, obtained from frequency domain linear and time domain partly nonlinear potential flow analyses. The frequency domain methods comprise the pulsating and the translating, pulsating Green’s function methods, with the relevant source distribution over the mean wetted surface of the hull. The time domain method uses the radiation and diffraction potentials related to the mean wetted surface, implemented using Impulse Response Functions (IRF), whilst the incident wave and restoring actions are evaluated on the instantaneous wetted surface. The calculations are carried out for a range of Froude numbers, and in the case of the partly nonlinear method for different wave steepness values. Comparisons are made with available experimental measurements. The discussion focuses on the necessity for a nonlinear approach for predicting the radiation potential and the possible numerical methods for its formulation.

AbstractIn commodity transport networks such as natural gas, hydrogen and water networks, flows arise from nonlinear potential differences between the nodes, which can be represented by so-called potential-driven network models. When operators of these networks face increasing demand or the need to handle more diverse transport situations, they regularly seek to expand the capacity of their network by building new pipelines parallel to existing ones (“looping”). The paper introduces a new mixed-integer nonlinear programming model and a new nonlinear programming model and compares these with existing models for the looping problem and related problems in the literature, both theoretically and experimentally. On this basis, we give recommendations to practitioners about the circumstances under which a certain model should be used. In particular, it turns out that one of our novel models outperforms the existing models with respect to computational time, the number of solutions found, the number of instances solved and cost savings. Moreover, the paper extends the models for optimizing over multiple demand scenarios and is the first to include the practically relevant option that a particular pipeline may be looped several times.

In this study, the propagation and evolution characteristics of internal solitary waves on slope topography in stratified fluids were investigated. A numerical model of internal solitary wave propagation based on the nonlinear potential flow theory using the multi-domain boundary element method was developed and validated. The numerical model was used to calculate the propagation process of internal solitary waves on the topography with different slope parameters, including height and angle, and the influence of slope parameters, initial amplitude, and densities jump of two-layer fluid on the evolution of internal solitary waves is discussed. It was found that the wave amplitude first increased while climbing the slope and then decreased after passing over the slope shoulder based on the calculation results, and the wave amplitude reached a maximum at the shoulder of the slope. A larger height and angle of the slope can induce larger maximum wave amplitude and more obvious tail wave characteristics. The wave amplitude gradually decreased, and a periodic tail wave was generated when propagating on the plateau after passing the slope. Both frequency and height of the tail wave were affected by the geometric parameters of the slope bottom; however, the initial amplitude of the internal solitary wave only affects the tail wave height, but not the frequency of the tail wave.

AbstractIn this paper we study asymptotic behaviors of n-superharmonic functions at singularity using the Wolff potential and capacity estimates in nonlinear potential theory. Our results are inspired by and extend [6] of Arsove–Huber and [63] of Taliaferro in 2 dimensions. To study n-superharmonic functions we use a new notion of thinness in terms of n-capacity motivated by a type of Wiener criterion in [6]. To extend [63], we employ the Adams–Moser–Trudinger’s type inequality for the Wolff potential, which is inspired by the inequality used in [15] of Brezis–Merle. For geometric applications, we study the asymptotic end behaviors of complete conformally flat manifolds as well as complete properly embedded hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space. These geometric applications seem to elevate the importance of n-Laplace equations and make a closer tie to the classic analysis developed in conformal geometry in general dimensions.
