Linear stability theory is developed for an activator–inhibitor model where fractional derivative operators of generally different exponents act both on diffusion and reaction terms. It is shown that in the short wave limit the growth rate is a power law of the wave number with decoupled time scales for distinct anomaly exponents of the different species. With equal anomaly exponents an exact formula for the anomalous critical value of reactants diffusion coefficients' ratio is obtained.

AbstractThe ribbing instability of forward roll coating is analyzed numerically by linear stability theory. The velocity ratio of two rolls is fixed to be 1/4 for practical surface coating processes. The base flows through the gap between two rolls are solved by use of powerful CFD-RC software package. A numerical program is developed to solve the ribbing instability for the package is not capable of solving the eigenvalue problem of ribbing instability. The effects of the gap between two rolls, flow viscosity, surface tension and average roll velocity on ribbing are investigated. The criterion of ribbing instability is measured in terms of critical capillary number and critical wave number. The results show that the surface coating becomes stable as the gap increases or as the flow viscosity decreases and that the surface coating is more stable to the ribbing of a higher wave number than to the ribbing of a lower wave number. The effect of average roll velocity is not determinant to the ribbing instability. There are optimum and dangerous velocities for each setup of rolling process.

The method of multiple scales is used to examine the slow modulation of a harmonic wave moving over the surface of a two dimensional channel. The flow is assumed inviscid and incompressible, but the basic flow takes the form of an arbitrary shear. The appropriate nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived with coefficients that depend, in a complicated way, on the shear. It is shown that this equation agrees with previous work for the case of no shear; it also agrees in the long wave limit with the appropriate short wave limit of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, the shear being arbitrary. Finally, it is remarked that the stability of Stokes waves over any shear can be examined by using the results derived here.

Wave Exciting Forces

When the wavelength of the incident wave is short, the total surface potential on a floating body is found to be 2∅ i & O (m-l∅ i) on the lit surface and O (m-l∅ j) on the shadow surface where ~b i is the potential of the incident wave and m the wave number in water of finite depth. The present approximation for wave exciting forces and moments is reasonably good up to X/L ∅ 1 where h is the wavelength and L the characteristic length of the body.

Abstract. One-fluid ideal MHD model is applied for description of current sheet flapping disturbances appearing due to a gradient of the normal magnetic field component. The wave modes are studied which are associated to the flapping waves observed in the Earth's magnetotail current sheet. In a linear approximation, solutions are obtained for model profiles of the electric current and plasma densities across the current sheet, which are described by hyperbolic functions. The flapping eigenfrequency is found as a function of wave number. For the Earth's magnetotail conditions, the estimated wave group speed is of the order of a few tens kilometers per second. The current sheet can be stable or unstable in dependence on the direction of the gradient of the normal magnetic field component. The obtained dispersion function is used for calculation of the flapping wave disturbances, which are produced by the given initial Gaussian perturbation at the center of the current sheet and propagating towards the flanks. The propagating flapping pulse has a smooth leading front, and a small scale oscillating trailing front, because the short wave oscillations propagate much slower than the long wave ones.

Theoretical Results

In this paper, we investigate pattern dynamics of a nonlocal delay SI epidemic model with the growth of susceptible population following logistic mode. Applying the linear stability theory, the condition that the model generates Turing instability at the endemic steady state is analyzed; then, the exact Turing domain is found in the parameter space. Additionally, numerical results show that the time delay has key effect on the spatial distribution of the infected, that is, time delay induces the system to generate stripe patterns with different spatial structures and affects the average density of the infected. The numerical simulation is consistent with the theoretical results, which provides a reference for disease prevention and control.
