Three-dimensional numerical model of neutron flux in hex-Z geometry
We present a method for solving the equations of neutron transport with discretized energetic dependence and angular dependence approximated by the diffusion theory. We are interested in the stationary solution that characterizes neutron fluxes within the nuclear reactor core in an equilibrium state. We work with the VVER-1000 type core with hexagonal fuel assembly lattice and use a nodal method for numerical solution. The method effectively combines a whole-core coarse mesh calculation with a more...
Existence of weak solutions to doubly degenerate diffusion equations
We prove existence of weak solutions to doubly degenerate diffusion equations by Faedo-Galerkin approximation for general domains and general nonlinearities. More precisely, we discuss the equation in an abstract setting, which allows to choose function spaces corresponding to bounded or unbounded domains with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. The function can be an inhomogeneity or a nonlinearity involving terms of the form or . In the appendix, an introduction to weak differentiability...
Nonlinear models of suspension bridges: discussion of the results
In this paper we present several nonlinear models of suspension bridges; most of them have been introduced by Lazer and McKenna. We discuss some results which were obtained by the authors and other mathematicians for the boundary value problems and initial boundary value problems. Our intention is to point out the character of these results and to show which mathematical methods were used to prove them instead of giving precise proofs and statements.
