Extended abstractHere we outline how asymptotic models may contribute to the investigation of mean field dynamos applied to the solar convective zone. We calculate here a spatial 2-D structure of the mean magnetic field, adopting real profiles of the solar internal rotation (the Ω-effect) and an extended prescription of the turbulent α-effect. In our model assumptions we do not prescribe any meridional flow that might seriously affect the resulting generated magnetic fields. We do not assume apriori any region or layer as a preferred site for the dynamo action (such as the overshoot zone), but the location of the α- and Ω-effects results in the propagation of dynamo waves deep in the convection zone. We consider an axially symmetric magnetic field dynamo model in a differentially rotating spherical shell. The main assumption, when using asymptotic WKB methods, is that the absolute value of the dynamo number (regeneration rate) |D| is large, i.e., the spatial scale of the solution is small. Following the general idea of an asymptotic solution for dynamo waves (e.g., Kuzanyan & Sokoloff 1995), we search for a solution in the form of a power series with respect to the small parameter |D|–1/3(short wavelength scale). This solution is of the order of magnitude of exp(i|D|1/3S), where S is a scalar function of position.


The study of the transport and capture of particles moving in a fluid flow in a porous medium is an important problem of underground hydromechanics, which occurs when strengthening loose soil and creating watertight partitions for building tunnels and underground structures. A one-dimensional mathematical model of long-term deep filtration of a monodisperse suspension in a homogeneous porous medium with a dimensional particle retention mechanism is considered. It is assumed that the particles freely pass through large pores and get stuck at the inlet of small pores whose diameter is smaller than the particle size. The model takes into account the change in the permeability of the porous medium and the permissible flow through the pores with increasing concentration of retained particles. A new spatial variable obtained by a special coordinate transformation in model equations is small at any time at each point of the porous medium. A global asymptotic solution of the model equations is constructed by the method of series expansion in a small parameter. The asymptotics found is everywhere close to a numerical solution. Global asymptotic solution can be used to solve the inverse filtering problem and when planning laboratory experiments.

ABSTRACTA method, very suitable for use with an automatic computer, of solving the Hartree-Womersley approximation to the incompressible boundary-layer equation is developed. It is based on an iterative process and the Choleski method of solving a simultaneous set of linear algebraic equations. The programming of this method for an automatic computer is discussed. Tables of a solution of the boundary-layer equation in a region upstream of the separation point are given. In the upstream neighbourhood of separation this solution is compared with Goldstein's asymptotic solution and the agreement is good.

We consider a two-step Sal’nikov reaction scheme occurring within a compressible viscous gas. The first step of the reaction may be either endothermic or exothermic, while the second step is strictly exothermic. Energy may also be lost from the system due to Newtonian cooling. An asymptotic solution for temperature perturbations of small amplitude is presented using the methods of strained coordinates and multiple scales, and a travelling wave solution with a sech-squared profile is derived. The method of lines is then used to approximate the full system with a set of ordinary differential equations, which are integrated numerically to track accurately the evolution of the reaction front. This numerical method is used to verify the asymptotic solution and investigate behaviours under different conditions. Using this method, temperature waves progressing as pulsatile fronts are detected at appropriate parameter values.
