Spherically symmetric solutions to a model for interface motion by interface diffusion

Zhu, Peicheng (2013)

Applications of Mathematics 2013

The existence of spherically symmetric solutions is proved for a new phase-field model that describes the motion of an interface in an elastically deformable solid, here the motion is driven by configurational forces. The model is an elliptic-parabolic coupled system which consists of a linear elasticity system and a non-linear evolution equation of the order parameter. The non-linear equation is non-uniformly parabolic and is of fourth order. One typical application is sintering.

Spinor equations in Weyl geometry

Buchholz, Volker (2000)

Proceedings of the 19th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

This paper deals with Dirac, twistor and Killing equations on Weyl manifolds with C -spin structures. A conformal Schrödinger-Lichnerowicz formula is presented and used to derive integrability conditions for these equations. It is shown that the only non-closed Weyl manifolds of dimension greater than 3 that admit solutions of the real Killing equation are 4-dimensional and non-compact. Any Weyl manifold of dimension greater than 3, that admits a real Killing spinor has to be Einstein-Weyl.

Steady and unsteady 2D numerical solution of generalized Newtonian fluids flow

Keslerová, Radka, Kozel, Karel (2012)

Applications of Mathematics 2012

This article presents the numerical solution of laminar incompressible viscous flow in a branching channel for generalized Newtonian fluids. The governing system of equations is based on the system of balance laws for mass and momentum. The generalized Newtonian fluids differ through choice of a viscosity function. A power-law model with different values of power-law index is used. Numerical solution of the described models is based on cell-centered finite volume method using explicit Runge–Kutta...
