This paper is concerned with an inverse problem for the conduction of heat in a two-dimensional domain. It seeks to recover the subsurface conductivity profile based on the measurements obtained at the boundary. The method considers a temporal interval for which time-dependent measurements are provided. It formulates an optimal estimation problem which seeks to minimize the error difference between the given data and the response from the system. It uses a combination of the zeroth-order and the first-order Tikhonov regularization to stabilize the inversion. The method leads to an iterative algorithm which, at every iteration, requires the solution to a two-point boundary value problem. A number of numerical results are presented which indicate that a close estimate of the thermal conductivity function can be obtained based on the boundary measurements only. [S0022-1481(00)00902-6]

An analysis has been made of the two-dimensional flow of an incompressible constant-conductivity fluid through an elliptically shaped solenoid containing a constant magnetic field directed normal to the flow plane. The effect of both Hall current and ion slip has been included in the generalized Ohm's law used for the fluid. The analysis is based on a perturbation procedure in two parameters, one being the magnetic Reynolds number Rm and the other the ratio S of magnetic force per unit area to dynamic pressure. Calculations have been carried to the first order in each parameter, and closed-form analytic expressions have been obtained for the force and moment on the solenoid, the current density, stream function, magnetic field and other pertinent physical quantities.It was found that, to the zeroth order, there is a force but no moment on the solenoid. To the first order in S, where the flow field is modified but the magnetic field is not, there is a moment and a force, the latter being anti-parallel to the zeroth order force. To the first order in Rm, where the magnetic field is modified but the flow field is not, there is a moment but no force. Thus, to the first order the lift to drag ratio is the same as in the zeroth order. Graphs which illustrate some of the effects of angle of attack, fineness ratio of the ellipse, Hall current and ion slip, on the forces and moments are presented.

Abstract A new type of two-dimensional composite right/left handed transmission line (2D CRLH TL) is proposed in this letter. Utilizing this structure, an antenna operating on GLONASS and WLAN based on dual zeroth-order resonance (ZOR) mode and first-order resonance (FOR) mode is designed and fabricated. By taking advantage of coaxially center feed and symmetric structure, nearly all omnidirectional radiations in XOY plane at three operating frequencies is obtained. Furthermore, the antenna gain has a high value of −1.27 dB in f1=1.60 GHz, −3.89 dB in f2=2.39 GHz and 0.67 dB in f3=5.12 GHz respectively.

Abstract Recent work has shown that certain deformations of the scalar potential in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity can be written as double-scaled matrix models. However, some of the deformations exhibit an apparent breakdown of unitarity in the form of a negative spectral density at disc order. We show here that the source of the problem is the presence of a multi-valued solution of the leading order matrix model string equation. While for a class of deformations we fix the problem by identifying a first order phase transition, for others we show that the theory is both perturbatively and non-perturbatively inconsistent. Aspects of the phase structure of the deformations are mapped out, using methods known to supply a non-perturbative definition of undeformed JT gravity. Some features are in qualitative agreement with a semi-classical analysis of the phase structure of two-dimensional black holes in these deformed theories.

Abstract Most analyses of fluid flow in porous media are conducted under the assumption that the permeability is constant. In some “stress-sensitive” rock formations, however, the variation of permeability with pore fluid pressure is sufficiently large that it needs to be accounted for in the analysis. Accounting for the variation of permeability with pore pressure renders the pressure diffusion equation nonlinear and not amenable to exact analytical solutions. In this paper, the regular perturbation approach is used to develop an approximate solution to the problem of flow to a linear constant-pressure boundary, in a formation whose permeability varies exponentially with pore pressure. The perturbation parameter αD is defined to be the natural logarithm of the ratio of the initial permeability to the permeability at the outflow boundary. The zeroth-order and first-order perturbation solutions are computed, from which the flux at the outflow boundary is found. An effective permeability is then determined such that, when inserted into the analytical solution for the mathematically linear problem, it yields a flux that is exact to at least first order in αD. When compared to numerical solutions of the problem, the result has 5% accuracy out to values of αD of about 2—a much larger range of accuracy than is usually achieved in similar problems. Finally, an explanation is given of why the change of variables proposed by Kikani and Pedrosa, which leads to highly accurate zeroth-order perturbation solutions in radial flow problems, does not yield an accurate result for one-dimensional flow. Article Highlights Approximate solution for flow to a constant-pressure boundary in a porous medium whose permeability varies exponentially with pressure. The predicted flowrate is accurate to within 5% for a wide range of permeability variations. If permeability at boundary is 30% less than initial permeability, flowrate will be 10% less than predicted by constant-permeability model.

AbstractA generalization of the usual method of similarity analysis of differential equations, the method of partially invariant solutions, was introduced by Ovsiannikov. The degree of non-invariance of these solutions is characterized by the defect of invariance d. We develop an algorithm leading to partially invariant solutions of quasilinear systems of first-order partial differential equations. We apply the algorithm to the non-linear equations of the two-dimensional non-stationary ideal MHD with a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of motion.
