In the quest to understand the dynamics of distributed systems on time-dependent spatial domains, we study experimentally the response to domain deformations by Faraday wave patterns – standing waves formed on the free surface of a liquid layer due to its vertical vibration – chosen as a paradigm owing to their historical use in testing new theories and ideas. In our experimental set-up of a vibrating water container with controlled positions of lateral walls and liquid layer depth, the characteristics of the patterns are measured using the Fourier transform profilometry technique, which allows us to reconstruct an accurate time history of the pattern three-dimensional landscape and reveal how it reacts to the domain dynamics on various length and time scales. Analysis of Faraday waves on growing, shrinking and oscillating domains leads to a number of intriguing results. First, the observation of a transverse instability – namely, when a two-dimensional pattern experiences an instability in the direction orthogonal to the direction of the domain deformation – provides a new facet to the stability picture compared to the one-dimensional systems in which the longitudinal (Eckhaus) instability accounts for pattern transformation on time-varying domains. Second, the domain evolution rate is found to be a key factor dictating the patterns observed on the path between the initial and final domain aspect ratios. Its effects range from allowing the formation of complex sequences of patterns to impeding the appearance of any new pattern on the path. Third, the shrinkage–growth process turns out to be generally irreversible on a horizontally evolving domain, but becomes reversible in the case of a time-dependent liquid layer depth, i.e. when the dilution and convective effects of the domain flow are absent. These experimentally observed enigmatic effects of the domain size variations in time are complemented here with appropriate theoretical insights elucidating the dynamics of two-dimensional pattern evolution, which proves to be more intricate compared to one-dimensional systems.

The Navy’s mine impact burial prediction model creates a time history of a cylindrical or a noncylindrical mine as it falls through air, water, and sediment. The output of the model is the predicted mine trajectory in air and water columns, burial depth/orientation in sediment, as well as height, area, and volume protruding. Model inputs consist of parameters of environment, mine characteristics, and initial release. This paper reviews near three decades’ effort on model development from one to three dimensions: (1) one-dimensional models predict the vertical position of the mine’s center of mass (COM) with the assumption of constant falling angle, (2) two-dimensional models predict the COM position in the (x,z) plane and the rotation around the y-axis, and (3) three-dimensional models predict the COM position in the (x,y,z) space and the rotation around the x-, y-, and z-axes. These models are verified using the data collected from mine impact burial experiments. The one-dimensional model only solves one momentum equation (in the z-direction). It cannot predict the mine trajectory and burial depth well. The two-dimensional model restricts the mine motion in the (x,z) plane (which requires motionless for the environmental fluids) and uses incorrect drag coefficients and inaccurate sediment dynamics. The prediction errors are large in the mine trajectory and burial depth prediction (six to ten times larger than the observed depth in sand bottom of the Monterey Bay). The three-dimensional model predicts the trajectory and burial depth relatively well for cylindrical, near-cylindrical mines, and operational mines such as Manta and Rockan mines.

The formal mathematical analogy between time-dependent quantum equation for the nonrelativistic particles and time-dependent equation for the propagation of electromagnetic waves had been studied in [A. I. Akhiezer and V. B. Berestezki, Quantum Electrodynamics (FM, Moscow, 1959) [in Russian] and S. Schweber, An Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Field Theory, Chap. 5.3 (Row, Peterson & Co, Ill, 1961)]. Here, we deal with the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for nonrelativistic particles and with time-dependent Helmholtz equation for electromagnetic waves. Then, using this similarity, the tunneling and multiple internal reflections in one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) particle and photon tunneling are studied. Finally, some conclusions and future perspectives for further investigations are presented.

The theory of ultrasonic attenuation in metals is extended so that it applies to quasi one and two dimensional electronic systems. It is shown that the attenuation in such systems differs significantly from the well-known results for three dimensional systems. The difference is particularly marked for one dimensional systems, for which the attenuation is shown to be strongly temperature dependent.

In this paper experimental measurements of the time-dependent velocity and density perturbations upstream of obstacles towed through linearly stratified fluid are presented. Attention is concentrated on two-dimensional obstacles which generate turbulent separated wakes at Froude numbers, based on velocity and body height, of less than 0.5. The form of the upstream columnar modes is shown to be largely that of first-order unattenuating disturbances, which have little resemblance to the perturbations described by small-obstacle-height theories. For two-dimensional obstacles the disturbances are similar to those found by Wei, Kao & Pao (1975) and it is shown that provided a suitable obstacle drag coefficient is specified, the lowest-order modes (at least) are quantitatively consistent with the results of the Oseen inviscid model.Discussion of some results of similar measurements upstream of three-dimensional obstacles, the importance of towing tank endwalls and the relevance of the Foster & Saffman (1970) theory for the limit of zero Froude number is also included.

We consider the non-equilibrium dynamics of a weakly interacting Bose gas tightly confined to a highly elongated double well potential. We use a self-consistent time-dependent Hartree--Fock approximation in combination with a projection of the full three-dimensional theory to several coupled one-dimensional channels. This allows us to model the time-dependent splitting and phase imprinting of a gas initially confined to a single quasi one-dimensional potential well and obtain a microscopic description of the ensuing damped Josephson oscillations.

New quasi-two-dimensional (2.5D) approach to description of three-dimensional (3D) flows in ducts is proposed. It generalizes quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D, 1.5D) theories. Calculations are performed in the (x; y) plane, but variable width of duct in the z direction is taken into account. Derivation of 2.5D approximation equations is given. Tests for verification of 2.5D calculations are proposed. Parametrical 2.5D calculations of flow with hydrogen combustion in an elliptical combustor of a high-speed aircraft, investigated within HEXAFLY-INT international project, are described. Optimal scheme of fuel injection is found and explained. For one regime, 2.5D and 3D calculations are compared. The new approach is recommended for use during preliminary design of combustion chambers.
