We illustrate the analytical control of the Akhmediev breather frequency in Bose–Einstein condensate in a time varying parabolic trap. This is achieved by varying Feshbach managed scattering length R(t) within the integrability framework. Recognizing the mathematical relation between R(t) and parabolic trap with the linear Schrödinger equation, we use isospectral Hamiltonian approach, which leads to a one parameter family of nonlinearity control functions, directly affecting the characteristic scales of the solution space, for the same trapping potential. The chirp equation and the trap equation being same, the phase of the wave for the obtained class of nonlinearity function remains identical. For explicating the general applications of the present approach, we exhibit breather frequency control in a number of cases, with asymptotically vanishing nonlinearity, for expulsive parabolic trap. Interestingly, the same procedure is found to provide a free parameter, which controls the Rogue wave amplitude.

Abstract This paper describes a multiblock grid generation method for turbine cooling geometries. The method is based on the observation that cooling films are essentially branches inserted on a large trunk, represented by the passage or by the cooling duct. The small size of the films compared to the overall size of turbine blades allows simplifications to be introduced with respect to general-purpose trunk and branch algorithms. The grid generation starts from an existing layout for the passage or cooling duct grid and operates on a Cartesian patch of the trunk surface. The patch is hollowed and a templated branch layout is inserted. Padding blocks are created to connect the two layouts into a single, boundary conforming layout. The resulting multiblock grid is then smoothed using a modification of Thompson’s Poisson system. The boundary mesh distribution is not prescribed. Instead, boundary orthogonality is enforced and elliptic smoothing is performed on the boundaries as well as inside the volume. The grid size control relies on a novel Newton-like update for the control functions of the Poisson system. The smoothing step is essential in achieving good grid quality throughout and determines, in part, the template for a given configuration. The algorithm is particularly suitable for large arrays of films or other cooling decoration and results show that the proposed method can produce grids of better quality than existing methods.

A method for nearly orthogonal grid generation is presented in this study. The generating system is based on solution of a system of partial differential equations with finite difference discretization. The grid quality control functions and grid properties are investigated. Specification of both boundary point distribution on all sides is used. The proposed method is applied to various test problems,which shows this method provides a good balance between controlling grid orthogonality and cell aspect ratio.
