This paper presents a new method for handling the phase change process in numerical simultations of freezing and thawing soils. Moisture and heat transfer in soils subjected to both freezing and thawing are discussed. Simulated freezing results of temperature and total water content (water + ice) are compared with experimental data reported by Jame (1977). Simulated and experimental results were similar. The effects of different time-dependent temperature boundary conditions were evaluated and discussed. The method was used both with abrupt and smooth temperature boundary conditions and both resulted in stable numerical solutions. Finally, results from a simulation of a freezing and thawing cycle are presented and discussed qualitatively.

Transient heat conduction in semi-infinite medium with a power-law time-dependent boundary conditions has been solved by an integral-balance integral method applying to a semi-derivative approach. Two versions of the integral-balance method have been applied: Goodman?s method with a generalized parabolic profile and Zien?s method with exponential (original and modified) profile.

Abstract In this paper, the blow-up analyses in nonlocal reaction diffusion equations with time-dependent coefficients are investigated under Neumann boundary conditions. By constructing some suitable auxiliary functions and using differential inequality techniques, we show some sufficient conditions to ensure that the solution u ( x , t ) u(x,t) blows up at a finite time under appropriate measure sense. Furthermore, an upper and a lower bound on blow-up time are derived under some appropriate assumptions. At last, two examples are presented to illustrate the application of our main results.

Abstract We study Randall-Sundrum two brane setups with mismatched brane tensions. For the vacuum solutions, boundary conditions demand that the induced metric on each of the branes is either de Sitter, Anti-de Sitter, or Minkowski. For incompatible boundary conditions, the bulk metric is necessarily time-dependent. This introduces a new class of time-dependent solutions with the potential to address cosmological issues and provide alternatives to conventional inflationary (or contracting) scenarios. We take a first step in this paper toward such solutions. One important finding is that the resulting solutions can be very succinctly described in terms of an effective action involving only the induced metric on either one of the branes and the radion field. But the full geometry cannot necessarily be simply described with a single coordinate patch. We concentrate here on the time- dependent solutions but argue that supplemented with a brane stabilization mechanism one can potentially construct interesting cosmological models this way. This is true both with and without a brane stabilization mechanism.

The effects of a sidewall with finite thermal conductivity on confined turbulent thermal convection has been investigated using direct numerical simulation. The study is motivated by the observation that the heat flowing through the lateral wall is not always negligible in the low-aspect-ratio cells of several recent experiments. The extra heat flux modifies the temperature boundary conditions of the flow and therefore the convective heat transfer. It has been found that, for usual sidewall thicknesses, the heat travelling from the hot to the cold plates directly through the sidewall is negligible owing to the additional heat exchanged at the lateral fluid/wall interface. In contrast, the modified temperature boundary conditions alter the mean flow yielding significant Nusselt number corrections which, in the low Rayleigh number range, can change the exponent of the Nu vs. Ra power law by 10%.
