This paper develops a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (O.D.E.) of motion for a disk parallel to a flat plate and levitated by incompressible laminar flow of fluid supplied from a central orifice. The fluid’s inertia, reflected in high mass flow rates, is accounted for. The transient flow velocity and pressure field are found by iterative integration of the Navier-Stokes equation to determine the O.D.E. for the time-dependent height of the disk (or fluid film thickness). The film thickness is found by not only numerically integrating the O.D.E., but also by linearizing the equation to obtain a closed-form solution. The results of this combined squeeze-film, source-flow case compare favorably with experimental data presented which span cases from negligible inertia (viscous dominance) to cases of inertia dominance. Fortunately, the closed-form solution differs only slightly from the numerical solution; this provides relatively accurate expressions for the frequencies and damping coefficients in terms of the geometry, load (or weight of disk), mass flow rate, and the fluid properties.

In this paper, the numerical solutions in pure squeeze motion are explored by using hydrodynamic lubrication (HL) and elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) models at constant squeeze velocity with power law lubricants. This paper also proposes a closed form solution to calculate the relationship between central pressure and central film thickness under HL condition. In order to save time calculation, the present closed form solution can be used as the initial condition for analysis of EHL at the high-pressure stage. In addition, this paper also discussed the HL and EHL squeeze film characteristics.

Most closed form solutions of Reynolds’ equation assume either a short bearing approximation or a long bearing approximation. These closed form approximations are used in rotordynamic simulation applications, otherwise a Finite Difference solution of Reynolds’ equation would be prohibitively time consuming. Recently, there have been proposed series solutions for Reynolds’ equation for special cases. In this paper, a perturbation solution to the governing equations is proposed to obtain a closed form solution of Reynolds’ equation for a finite squeeze film damper executing a circular centered orbit. The pressure field and velocity profiles are obtained. It is shown that in the limit the finite damper solution approaches either the appropriate short or long damper. This perturbation solution can be used with appropriate boundary conditions, for various damper sealing configurations, and provides insight into the damper performance.

Since pairwise registration is a necessary step for the seamless fusion of point clouds from neighboring stations, a closed-form solution to planar feature-based registration of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) point clouds is proposed in this paper. Based on the Plücker coordinate-based representation of linear features in three-dimensional space, a quad tuple-based representation of planar features is introduced, which makes it possible to directly determine the difference between any two planar features. Dual quaternions are employed to represent spatial transformation and operations between dual quaternions and the quad tuple-based representation of planar features are given, with which an error norm is constructed. Based on L2-norm-minimization, detailed derivations of the proposed solution are explained step by step. Two experiments were designed in which simulated data and real data were both used to verify the correctness and the feasibility of the proposed solution. With the simulated data, the calculated registration results were consistent with the pre-established parameters, which verifies the correctness of the presented solution. With the real data, the calculated registration results were consistent with the results calculated by iterative methods. Conclusions can be drawn from the two experiments: (1) The proposed solution does not require any initial estimates of the unknown parameters in advance, which assures the stability and robustness of the solution; (2) Using dual quaternions to represent spatial transformation greatly reduces the additional constraints in the estimation process.

This article derives a closed-form pricing formula for the European exchange option in a stochastic volatility framework. Firstly, with the Feynman–Kac theorem's application, we obtain a relation between the price of the European exchange option and a European vanilla call option with unit strike price under a doubly stochastic volatility model. Then, we obtain the closed-form solution for the vanilla option using the characteristic function. A key distinguishing feature of the proposed simplified approach is that it does not require a change of numeraire in contrast with the usual methods to price exchange options. Finally, through numerical experiments, the accuracy of the newly derived formula is verified by comparing with the results obtained using Monte Carlo simulations.
