SynopsisThe semilinear damped wave equationssubject to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, admit spatially homogeneous solutions (i.e. u(x, t) = u(t)). In order that every solution tends to a spatially homogeneous one, we look for conditions on the coefficients a and d, and on the Lipschitz constant of f with respect to u.

We present a numerical method to compute the acoustic field scattered by finite perforated elastic plates. A boundary element method is developed to solve the Helmholtz equation subjected to boundary conditions related to the plate vibration. These boundary conditions are recast in terms of the vibration modes of the plate and its porosity, which enables a direct solution procedure. A parametric study is performed for a two-dimensional problem whereby a cantilevered perforated elastic plate scatters sound from a point quadrupole near the free edge. Both elasticity and porosity tend to diminish the scattered sound, in agreement with previous work considering semi-infinite plates. Finite elastic plates are shown to reduce acoustic scattering when excited at high Helmholtz numbers k 0 based on the plate length. However, at low k 0 , finite elastic plates produce only modest reductions or, in cases related to structural resonance, an increase to the scattered sound level relative to the rigid case. Porosity, on the other hand, is shown to be more effective in reducing the radiated sound for low k 0 . The combined beneficial effects of elasticity and porosity are shown to be effective in reducing the scattered sound for a broader range of k 0 for perforated elastic plates.

Let Ω be a compact complex n + 1-dimensional Hermitian manifold with smooth boundary M. In [2] we proved the following.THEOREM 1. Suppose satisfies condition Z(q) with 0 ≦ q ≦ n. Let □p,q denote the -Laplacian on (p, q) forms onwhich satisfy the -Neumann boundary conditions. Then as t → 0;,(0.1)(If q = n + 1, the -Neumann boundary condition is the Dirichlet boundary condition and the corresponding result is classical.)Theorem 1 is a version for the -Neumann problem of results initiated by Minakshisundaram and Pleijel [8] for the Laplacian on compact manifolds and extended by McKean and Singer [7] to the Laplacian with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions and by Greiner [5] and Seeley [9] to elliptic boundary value problems on compact manifolds with boundary. McKean and Singer go on to show that the coefficients in the trace expansion are integrals of local geometric invariants.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of complex boundary conditions on natural convection of a yield stress fluid in a square enclosure heated from below (uniformly and non-uniformly) and symmetrically cooled from the sides. Design/methodology/approach The governing equations are solved numerically subject to continuous and discontinuous Dirichlet boundary conditions by Galerkin’s weighted residuals scheme of finite element method and using a non-uniform unstructured triangular grid. Findings Results show that the overall heat transfer from the heated wall decreases in the case of non-uniform heating for both Newtonian and yield stress fluids. It is found that the effect of yield stress on heat transfer is almost similar in both uniform and non-uniform heating cases. The yield stress has a stabilizing effect, reducing the convection intensity in both cases. Above a certain value of yield number Y, heat transfer is only due to conduction. It is found that a transition of different modes of stability may occur as Rayleigh number changes; this fact gives rise to a discontinuity in the variation of critical yield number. Originality/value Besides the new numerical method based on the finite element and using a non-uniform unstructured grid for analyzing natural convection of viscoplastic materials with complex boundary conditions, the originality of the present work concerns the treatment of the yield stress fluids under the influence of complex boundary conditions.

This paper deals with the logistic Keller–Segel model \[ \begin{cases} u_t = \Delta u - \chi \nabla\cdot(u\nabla v) + \kappa u - \mu u^2, \\ v_t = \Delta v - v + u \end{cases} \] in bounded two-dimensional domains (with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and for parameters χ, κ ∈ ℝ and μ > 0), and shows that any nonnegative initial data (u0, v0) ∈ L1 × W1,2 lead to global solutions that are smooth in $\bar {\Omega }\times (0,\infty )$ .

A review of methods of handling unsteady flow problems in metal pipes by numerical methods is undertaken. The characteristic method, typifying explicit methods, and the centered implicit method are developed, including the manner various boundary conditions are introduced into the solutions. High velocity flow is briefly reviewed, i.e., flow cases with the velocity of flow of the same order of magnitude as the pulse wave speed. Three complex boundary conditions are examined: turbomachinery, column separation, and the compressed gas accumulator.
