A mathematical model based on Pennes bio-heat equation was formulated to estimate temperature profiles at peripheral regions of human body. The heat processes due to diffusion, perfusion and metabolic pathways were considered to establish the second-order partial differential equation together with initial and boundary conditions. The model was solved using eigenvalue method and the numerical values of the physiological parameters were used to understand the thermal disturbance on the biological tissues. The results were illustrated at atmospheric temperatures [Formula: see text]C and [Formula: see text]C.

In this paper, we have tried to approach the concepts of two-dimensional wave equation and one dimensional heat equation through the means of the Navier Stoke’s equation for unsteady and incompressible flow. Our pursuit to do so has been supported with ample justifications and analytic discussions. The strong relation shared by the fluid dynamics, wave mechanics and heat flow has been brought to light through our attempts.

We study the initial-boundary value problem for an Euler–Bernoulli beam model with discontinuous bending stiffness laying on a viscoelastic foundation and subjected to an axial force and an external load both of Dirac-type. The corresponding model equation is a fourth-order partial differential equation and involves discontinuous and distributional coefficients as well as a distributional right-hand side. Moreover the viscoelastic foundation is of Zener-type and described by a fractional differential equation with respect to time. We show how functional analytic methods for abstract variational problems can be applied in combination with regularization techniques to prove existence and uniqueness of generalized solutions.

Numerical schemes that are implemented by interpolation of exact solutions to a differential equation naturally preserve geometric properties of the differential equation. The solution interpolation method can be used for development of a new class of geometric integrators, which generally show better performances than standard method both quantitatively and qualitatively. Several examples including a linear convection equation and a nonlinear heat equation are included.

In this paper, free vibration analysis of thin symmetrically laminated skew plates with fully clamped edges is investigated. The governing differential equation for skew plate which is a fourth order partial differential equation (PDE) is obtained by transforming the differential equation in Cartesian coordinates into skew coordinates. Based on the multi-term extended Kantorovich method (MTEKM) an efficient and accurate approximate closed-form solution is presented for the governing PDE. Application of the MTEKM reduces the governing PDE to a dual set of ordinary differential equations. These sets of equations are then solved with infinite power series solution, in an iterative manner until convergence was achieved. Results of this study show the fast rate of convergence of the MTEKM. Usually two or three iterations are enough to obtain reasonably accurate results. The frequency parameters of laminated composite plates are obtained for different skew angles and lay-up configuration for different composites laminates skew plates. Comparisons have been made with the available results in the literature which show the accuracy and efficiency of the method.

The computational efficiency of Kirchhoff-type migration can be enhanced by using accurate traveltime interpolation algorithms. We addressed the problem of interpolating between a sparse source sampling by using the derivative of traveltime with respect to the source location. We adopted a first-order partial differential equation that originates from differentiating the eikonal equation to compute the traveltime source derivatives efficiently and conveniently. Unlike methods that rely on finite-difference estimations, the accuracy of the eikonal-based derivative did not depend on input source sampling. For smooth velocity models, the first-order traveltime source derivatives enabled a cubic Hermite traveltime interpolation that took into consideration the curvatures of local wavefronts and can be straightforwardly incorporated into Kirchhoff antialiasing schemes. We provided an implementation of the proposed method to first-arrival traveltimes by modifying the fast-marching eikonal solver. Several simple synthetic models and a semirecursive Kirchhoff migration of the Marmousi model demonstrated the applicability of the proposed method.
