A quasilinear noncoupled thermoelastic system is studied both on a threedimensional bounded domain with a smooth boundary and for a generalized model involving the influence of supports. Sufficient conditions are derived under which the stresses are bounded and continuous on the closure of the domain.
We consider the multidimensional two-phase Stefan problem with a small parameter κ in the Stefan condition, due to which the problem becomes singularly perturbed. We prove unique solvability and a coercive uniform (with respect to κ) estimate of the solution of the Stefan problem for t ≤ T₀, T₀ independent of κ, and the existence and estimate of the solution of the Florin problem (Stefan problem with κ = 0) in Hölder spaces.
The aim of this paper is to prove some properties of the solution to the Cauchy problem for the system of partial differential equations describing thermoelasticity of nonsimple materials proposed by D. Iesan. Explicit formulas for the Fourier transform and some estimates in Sobolev spaces for the solution of the Cauchy problem are proved.
A short survey of available existence results for dynamic contact problems including heat generation and heat transfer is presented.
A numerical study of a two-dimensional model for premixed gas combustion in a narrow, semi-infinite channel with no-slip boundary condition is performed. The work is motivated by recent theoretical advances revealing the major role of hydraulic resistance in deflagration-to-detonation transition, one of the central yet still inadequately understood phenomena of gaseous combustion. The work is a continuation and extension of recently reported results over non-isothermal boundary conditions, wider...
The one-dimensional steady-state convection-diffusion problem for the unknown temperature of a medium entering the interval with the temperature and flowing with a positive velocity is studied. The medium is being heated with an intensity corresponding to for a constant . We are looking for a velocity with a given average such that the outflow temperature is maximal and discuss the influence of the boundary condition at the point on the “maximizing” function .
Advanced building design is a rather new interdisciplinary research branch, combining knowledge from physics, engineering, art and social science; its support from both theoretical and computational mathematics is needed. This paper shows an example of such collaboration, introducing a model problem of optimal heating in a low-energy house. Since all particular function values, needed for optimization are obtained as numerical solutions of an initial and boundary value problem for a sparse system...
In the contribution we present a problem of shape optimization of the cooling cavity of a plunger that is used in the forming process in the glass in dustry. A rotationally symmetric system of the mould, the glass piece, the plunger and the plunger cavity is considered. The state problem is given as a stationary heat conduction process. The system includes a heat source representing the glass piece that is cooled from inside by water flowing through the plunger cavity and from outside by the environment surrounding...
Experimental evidence points to a rich variety of physical scenarios that arise when a laminar flame propagates through a pre-mixture of evaporating liquid fuel and a gaseous oxidant. In this paper new results of time-dependent numerical simulations of rich off-stoichiometric spray flame propagation in a two-dimensional channel are presented. A constant density model is adopted, thereby eliminating the Darrieus-Landau instability. It is demonstrated...
