The method of multiple scales is used to derive two partial differential equations which describe the evolution of two-dimensional wave-packets on the interface of two semi-infinite, incompressible, inviscid fluids of arbitrary densities, taking into account the effect of the surface tension. These differential equations can be combined to yield two alternate nonlinear Schro¨dinger equations; one of them contains only first derivatives in time while the second contains first and second derivatives in time. The first equation is used to show that the stability of uniform wavetrains depends on the wave length, the surface tension, and the density ratio. The results show that gravity waves are unstable for all density ratios except unity, while capillary waves are stable unless the density ratio is below approximately 0.1716. Moreover, the presence of surface tension results in the stabilization of some waves which are otherwise unstable. Although the first equation is valid for a wide range of wave numbers, it is invalid near the cutoff wave number separating stable from unstable motions. It is shown that the second Schro¨dinger equation is valid near the cutoff wave number and thus it can be used to determine the dependence of the cutoff wave number on the amplitude, thereby avoiding the usual process of determining a new expansion that is only valid near the cutoff conditions.

Electrified Jets

The instability characteristics of a liquid jet discharging from a nozzle into a stagnant gas are investigated using the linear stability theory. Starting with the equations of motion for incompressible, inviscid, axisymmetric flows in cylindrical coordinates, a dispersion relation is obtained, where the amplification factor of the disturbance is related to its wave number. The parameters of the problem are the laminar velocity profile shape parameter, surface tension, fluid densities, and electrical charge of the liquid jet. The dispersion relation is numerically solved as a function of the wave number. The growth of instabilities occurs in two modes, the Rayleigh and atomization modes. For rWe<1 (where We represents the Weber number and r represents the gas-to-liquid density ratio) corresponds to a Rayleigh or long wave instability, where atomization does not occur. On the contrary, for rWe>>1 the waves at the liquid-gas interface are shorter and when they reach a threshold amplitude the jet breaks down or atomizes. The surface tension stabilizes the flow in the atomization regime, while the density stratification and electric charges destabilize it. Additionally, a fully developed flow is more stable compared to an underdeveloped one. For the Rayleigh regime, both the surface tension and electric charges destabilize the flow.

We present a reduced-order analytical model to describe the response of a tunable MEMS RF filter to an input signal whose frequency is in the neighborhood of the passband. It extends our earlier model by allowing for the application of independent DC voltages in addition to an AC input signal. The model is obtained by discretizing the distributed-parameter system using a Galerkin procedure. It consists of two second-order nonlinearly coupled ordinary-differential equations. Using the method of multiple scales, we determine four first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations describing the amplitudes and phases of the modes. We found that mismatch between the natural frequencies of the resonators modifies the global modes significantly, leading to localization of the response in either the input or the output beam. We found that the filter can be tuned to operate linearly for a wide range of VAC by choosing a DC voltage that makes the effective nonlinearities vanish. Amplifying the input signal VAC to improve the filter performance creates multi-valued responses beyond a threshold in the case of non-zero effective nonlinearities.

Group Velocities

The paper deals with studying trajectories of motion of individual liquid particles in a two-layer hydrodynamic system with a finite layer thickness as well as analyzing phase and group velocities of internal waves in the system. The problem is modeled for an inviscid incompressible fluid under action of the gravity and surface tension forces in a dimensionless form. Solutions of the problem are sought in the form of progressive waves using the multi-scale method. The solutions are expanded in terms of the nonlinearity coefficient. Dependence of the dispersion ratio of the wavenumber is investigated for different values of the surface tension coefficient and the ratio of the layer densities. Formulas are obtained for the group and phase velocities for internal gravity-capillary waves as well as in the limiting case for capillary waves. A comparison of the values of the phase and group velocities of internal waves for different values of the wave number is carried out. It is proved that with an increase in the wave number, the group velocity begins to outstrip the phase velocity, and their equality occurs at the minimum phase velocity. It is shown that the trajectories are ellipses in which the horizontal semi axes are larger than the vertical ones. Formulas are obtained for the semi axes of elliptic trajectories for each of the layers. The character of the change in the semi axes of elliptical trajectories is analyzed depending on the distance from the interface between two liquid layers as well as on the values of the wave number. It is proved that the semi axes of ellipses decrease unevenly with increasing distance from the boundary. The asymmetry of the particle trajectories of each of the layers is shown for the case when the thickness of the lower layer differs from the thickness of the lower layer. The study of the kinematic characteristics of the particle motion makes it possible to simulate real physical wave processes in the World Ocean. The results are also relevant for creating a theoretical basis for experiments.

Stochastic delay differential equations with jumps have a wide range of applications, particularly, in mathematical finance. Solution of the underlying initial value problems is important for the understanding and control of many phenomena and systems in the real world. In this paper, we construct a robust Taylor approximation scheme and then examine the convergence of the method in a weak sense. A convergence theorem for the scheme is established and proved. Our analysis and numerical examples show that the proposed scheme of high order is effective and efficient for Monte Carlo simulations for jump-diffusion stochastic delay differential equations.

Abstract. By analyzing the results of the numerical simulations of nonlinear propagation of three Gaussian gravity-wave packets in isothermal atmosphere individually, the nonlinear effects on the characteristics of gravity waves are studied quantitatively. The analyses show that during the nonlinear propagation of gravity wave packets the mean flows are accelerated and the vertical wavelengths show clear reduction due to nonlinearity. On the other hand, though nonlinear effects exist, the time variations of the frequencies of gravity wave packets are close to those derived from the dispersion relation and the amplitude and phase relations of wave-associated disturbance components are consistent with the predictions of the polarization relation of gravity waves. This indicates that the dispersion and polarization relations based on the linear gravity wave theory can be applied extensively in the nonlinear region.Key words: Meteorology and atmospheric dynamics (middle atmosphere dynamics; waves and tides)

Equations of State (EOS) is crucial in simulating multiphase flows by the pseudo-potential lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). In the present study, the Peng and Robinson (P–R) and Carnahan and Starling (C–S) EOS in the pseudo-potential LBM with Exact Difference Method (EDM) scheme for two-phase flows have been compared. Both of P–R and C–S EOS have been used to study the two-phase separation, surface tension, the maximum two-phase density ratio and spurious currents. The study shows that both of P–R and C–S EOS agree with the analytical solutions although P–R EOS may perform better. The prediction of liquid phase by P–R EOS is more accurate than that of air phase and the contrary is true for C–S EOS. Predictions by both of EOS conform with the Laplace’s law. Besides, adjustment of surface tension is achieved by adjusting [Formula: see text]. The P–R EOS can achieve larger maximum density ratio than C–S EOS under the same [Formula: see text]. Besides, no matter the C–S EOS or the P–R EOS, if [Formula: see text] tends to 0.5, the computation is prone to numerical instability. The maximum spurious current for P–R is larger than that of C–S. The multiple-relaxation-time LBM still can improve obviously the numerical stability and can achieve larger maximum density ratio.

Ordinary differential equations usefully describe the behavior of a wide range of dynamic physical systems. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) method has been considered an effective tool for solving the engineering optimization problems for ordinary differential equations. This paper proposes a modified hybrid Nelder-Mead simplex search and particle swarm optimization (M-NM-PSO) method for solving parameter estimation problems. The M-NM-PSO method improves the efficiency of the PSO method and the conventional NM-PSO method by rapid convergence and better objective function value. Studies are made for three well-known cases, and the solutions of the M-NM-PSO method are compared with those by other methods published in the literature. The results demonstrate that the proposed M-NM-PSO method yields better estimation results than those obtained by the genetic algorithm, the modified genetic algorithm (real-coded GA (RCGA)), the conventional particle swarm optimization (PSO) method, and the conventional NM-PSO method.

The objective of this paper is to analytically study the nonlinear behavior of variable cross-section beam flexures interconnecting an eccentric rigid body. Hamilton’s principle is utilized to obtain the partial differential equations governing the nonlinear vibration of the system as well as the corresponding boundary conditions. Using a single mode approximation, the governing equations are reduced to a set of two nonlinear ordinary differential equations in terms of end displacement components of the beam which are coupled due to the presence of the transverse eccentricity. The method of multiple scales are employed to obtain parametric closed-form solutions. The obtained analytical results are compared with the numerical ones and excellent agreement is observed. These analytical expressions provide design insights for modeling and optimization of more complex flexure mechanisms for improved dynamic performances.
