Exact solutions for the one-dimensional problem of a compressible fluid having a time-dependent pressure at the source (fracture face) and displacing a compressible reservoir fluid are generated. Special solutions for various cases represented by step, step with constant slope front, and sinusoidal pressure variations at the fracture face are derived. Numerical results and trends for fluid interface motion are revealed for selected cases. The applicability of the presented solutions to hydraulic fracturing is discussed. In addition, response solutions for problems in reservoir mechanics, underground coal gasification, and nuclear waste management can be similarly investigated.

A mathematical model of the temperature regime of a coal bed during underground coal gasification in a filtration channel for new geotechnologies of Tula State University is developed. It is proposed to describe the unsteady temperature field of the coal seam with the one-dimensional heat conduction equation with the heat sink that depends on the temperature of the coal bed. The equation is solved for semi-infinite space. The results of computational experiments have shown that the temperature front from the fire face moves deep into the coal bed. Consequently, in the process of underground gasification, pre-heating of coal in the gasified block and thermal preparation take place. Quite quickly, after the formation of stable combustion of coal in the fire face, a stationary temperature profile is established.

SummaryNumerical solutions are obtained for the one-dimensional radial flow of a compressible fluid between parallel discs. A general discussion of the variations of pressure, density, velocity and temperature along the radius of the disc is then given. The present investigation covers both subsonic and supersonic flows, a range not previously covered in the literature.

Evaporating fronts propagate through porous media during drying processes, underground coal gasification, geothermal energy production from hot dry rock, and around nuclear waste repositories. Present work will focus on the one-dimensional heat transfer at the interface between vapor saturated porous matrix and water saturated porous region and evaluate the conditions for which various approximations yield an accurate representation of front velocity. An implicit finite difference scheme is utilized to simulate the propagation of an evaporating front in a porous medium saturated with water and undergoing the phase change process. The assumption of local thermal equilibrium (LTE) which results in a one-equation model and a simple two-equation model that does not assume LTE are examined by comparison with a quasi-analytic numerical model. We consider the case for low Reynolds number, hence Nusselt number is assumed constant. Results illustrate that the one-equation model does not yield accurate results even if the length scale for diffusion in the solid phase is relatively small. The one-equation model predicts faster front propagation than the two-equation model. It is illustrated that the one-equation model yields satisfactory results only when thermophysical properties characterized by the volume weighted ratio of thermal diffusivities is reduced to an order of magnitude less than those for the applications of interest. In addition, consistent with the established “rule of thumb”, for Biot < 0.1, the traditional two-equation model which makes the lumped capacitance assumption for the solid phase compares well with a two-equation model that more accurately predicts the time dependent diffusion in the solid phase using Duhamel’s theorem.

The relation between authoritarianism and social dominance orientation was analyzed, with authoritarianism measured using a three-dimensional scale. The implicit multidimensional structure (authoritarian submission, conventionalism, authoritarian aggression) of Altemeyer’s (1981, 1988) conceptualization of authoritarianism is inconsistent with its one-dimensional methodological operationalization. The dimensionality of authoritarianism was investigated using confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 713 university students. As hypothesized, the three-factor model fit the data significantly better than the one-factor model. Regression analyses revealed that only authoritarian aggression was related to social dominance orientation. That is, only intolerance of deviance was related to high social dominance, whereas submissiveness was not.
