AbstractIn this paper we develop the Laplace-transform method to solve initial-value problems for the velocity potential describing the generation of infinitesimal capillary-gravity waves in a motionless liquid with an inertial surface composed of uniformly distributed floating particles. The two principal problems considered are the forced motions due to a submerged wave source and an immersed vertical plane wave-maker, which begin to operate in a time-dependent manner at a given instant. The transformed potentials are calculated using techniques similar to those which are effective in traditional time-harmonic problems with a free surface. The steady-state development in the time-harmonic example taken demonstrates the existence of outgoing progressive waves under any inertial surface, in contrast to the case of no surface tension when such waves cannot propagate under an inertial surface that is too heavy. The solution is also noted of the Cauchy-Poisson problem for the free motion flowing an intial elevation of the inertial surface, which is obtained by the same method.

AbstractIn this note we examine the influence of surface tension on surface waves incident against a fixed vertical plane wall. The motion is time harmonic and is determined by making the initial assumption that the free-surface slope at the wall is prescribed. From the unique solution obtained for the velocity potential, the parameter involved in this specification can be determined, for small laboratory-scale waves at least, using some longstanding experimental results on meniscus behaviour at a moving contact line. The effect of surface tension is to produce a motion wherein reflexion from the wall is not complete and there is a local disturbance, in contrast to the classical standing-wave motion in the absence of surface tension.

AbstractThis note is concerned with the derivation of velocity potentials describing the generation of infinitesimal gravity waves in a motionless liquid with an inertial surface composed of uniformly distributed floating particles, due to fundamental line and point sources with time-dependent strengths submerged in a liquid of finite constant depth.

In this paper the forms are obtained for the harmonic potential functions describing the fundamental wave-source and multipole singularities which pertain to the study of infinitesimal time-harmonic waves on the free surface of water when the effect of surface tension is included. Line and point singularities are considered for both the cases of infinite and finite constant depth of water. The method used is an extension of that which has been used to obtain these potentials in the absence of surface tension.

The problem of a viscoelastic Timoshenko beam subjected to a transversely applied step-loading is solved using the Laplace transform method. It is established that the support shear force is amplified more than the support bending moment for a fixed-end beam when strain rate influences are accounted for implicitly in the viscoelastic constitutive formulation.

In this paper, a new approximate analytical method is proposed for solving the fractional biological population model, the fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. This method is based upon the Aboodh transform method and the new iterative method, the Aboodh transform is a modification of the Laplace transform. Illustrative cases are considered and the comparison between exact solutions and numerical solutions are considered for different values of alpha. Furthermore, the surface plots are provided in order to understand the effect of the fractional order. The advantage of this method is that it is efficient, precise, and easy to implement with less computational effort.

<p>At present, when constructing a mathematical description of the pyrolysis reactor, partial differential equations for the components of the gas phase and the catalyst phase are used. In the well-known works on modeling pyrolysis, the obtained models are applicable only for a narrow range of changes in the process parameters, the geometric dimensions are considered constant. The article poses the task of creating a complex mathematical model with additional terms, taking into account nonlinear effects, where the geometric dimensions of the apparatus and operating characteristics vary over a wide range. An analytical method has been developed for the implementation of a mathematical model of catalytic pyrolysis of methane for the production of nanomaterials in a continuous mode. The differential equation for gaseous components with initial and boundary conditions of the third type is reduced to a dimensionless form with a small value of the peclet criterion with a form factor. It is shown that the laplace transform method is mainly suitable for this case, which is applicable both for differential equations for solid-phase components and calculation in a periodic mode. The adequacy of the model results with the known experimental data is checked.</p>

Rotating effects and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow of second grade fluids in a porous medium is considered in this paper. It is assumed that the bounding infinite inclined plate has ramped wall temperature with the presence of heat and mass diffusion. Based on Boussinesq approximation, the analytical expressions for dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained by using the Laplace transform method. All the derived solutions satisfying the involved differential equations with imposed boundary and initial conditions. The influence of various parameters on the velocity has been analyzed in graphs and discussed.

In this paper, the polarized neutron structure function [Formula: see text] in the [Formula: see text] nucleus is investigated and an analytical solution based on the Laplace transform method for [Formula: see text] is presented. It is shown that the neutron spin structure function can be extracted directly from the polarized nuclear structure function of [Formula: see text]. The nuclear corrections due to the Fermi motion of the nucleons as well as the binding energy considerations are taken into account within the framework of the convolution approach and the polarized structure function of [Formula: see text] nucleus is expressed in terms of the spin structure functions of nucleons and the light-cone momentum distribution of the constituent nucleons. Then, the numerical results for [Formula: see text] are compared with experimental data of the SMC and HERMES collaborations. We found that there is an overall good agreement between the theory and experiments.
