A methodology is proposed here to estimate the stability characteristics of bluff-body wakes using local analysis under the assumption of weakly non-parallel flows. In this connection, a generalisation of the classic spatio-temporal stability analysis for fully three-dimensional flows is first described. Secondly, an additional higher-order correction term with respect to the common saddle-point global frequency estimation is included in the analysis. The proposed method is first validated for the case of the flow past a circular cylinder and then applied to two fully three-dimensional flows: the boundary layer flow over a wall-mounted hemispherical body and the wake flow past a fixed sphere. In all the cases considered, both the estimated unstable eigenvalue and the spatial shape of the associated eigenmode are determined by local stability analysis, and they are compared with the reference counterparts obtained at a definitely higher computational cost by a fully three-dimensional global stability analysis. It is shown that the results of local stability analysis, when the higher-order correction term is included, are in excellent agreement with those obtained by global stability analysis. It is also shown that the retained correction term is of crucial importance in this perspective, leading to a remarkable improvement in accuracy with respect to the classical saddle-point estimation.

Tuberculosis, an airborne infectious disease, remains a major threat to public health in Kenya. In this study, we derived a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations from the SLICR mathematical model of TB to study the effects of hygiene consciousness as a control strategy against TB in Kenya. The effective basic reproduction number (R0) of the model was determined by the next generation matrix approach. We established and analyzed the equilibrium points. Using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion for local stability analysis and comparison theorem for global stability analysis, the disease-free equilibrium (DFE) was found to be locally asymptotically stable given that R0 < 1.  Also by using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion for local stability analysis and Lyapunov function and LaSalle’s invariance principle for global stability analysis, the endemic equilibrium (EE) point was found to be locally asymptotically stable given that R0 > 1. Using MATLAB ode45 solver, we simulated the model numerically and the results suggest that hygiene consciousness can helpin controlling TB disease if incorporated effectively.

ABSTRACT In this moment in which civil engineering is undergoing a phase where structural projects have been developed with structural systems composed of different and complex elements, some methods and criteria are used for the purpose of evaluating important aspects with regard to global and local stability. Among them, it is necessary to mention the parameters of instability a and ?z. In this sense, this work has the objective to present the basic concepts of the instability parameters a and ?z in accordance with what is clearly defined in the Brazilian standard ABNT NBR 6118; to present the results of simulations of models in the Brazilian structural software TQS varying the stress of compression in the columns in order to relate these values with the stability parameters.

Local stability analysis of three-dimensional magnetically confined plasmas is presented using the energy principle. Fluid displacements with long parallel wavelengths by short perpendicular are retained. To lowest order in the mode fluteness the total energy density variation depends on the local magnetic shear, normal and geodesic magnetic curvatures, parallel current density, and magnetic field strength. The perpendicular fluid displacement is written in terms of a slowly-varying amplitude and a phase angle which varies rapidly in (or across) the magnetic surface. Assuming that the fluid displacement is quasi-incompressible, the solution for the phase angle is found in two limiting cases. Local stability analysis of stellarators with low or strong global magnetic shear is discussed.

In this subsection, we first formulated the proposed model in there infectious classes and then we derived the basic key value reproductive number, R0 with the help of next generation approach. Then we obtained all the endemic equilibrium points, as well as, local stability analysis, at disease free equilibria and, at endemic equilibria of the related model and shown stable. Further the global stability analysis either, at disease free equilibria, and at endemic equilibria is discussed by constructing Lyapunov function which show the validity of the concern model exist. In the last part of the article numerical simulation is presented for the model which support the model existence with the help of RK-4 method.
