The system of pressureless gas dynamics is a hydrodynamically justified generalization of the system consisting of the Burgers vector equation in the limit of vanishing viscosity and the mass conservation law. The latter system of equations was intensively used, in particular, in astrophysics to describe the large scale structure of the Universe. The solutions of the vector Burgers equation involve interesting dynamics of singularities, which can describe concentration processes. However, this dynamics does not satisfy the law of momentum conservation, which prevents us from treating it as dynamics of material objects. In this paper, momentum-conserving dynamics of singularities is investigated on the basis of the pressureless gas dynamics system. Such dynamics turns out to be more diverse and complex, but it is also possible to formulate a variational approach, for which the basic principles and relations are obtained in the work.

In this study, the homotopy perturbation transform method (HPTM) is performed to give approximate and analytical solutions of nonlinear homogenous and non-homogenous time-fractional gas dynamics equations. Gas dynamics equations are based on the physical laws of conservation, namely, the laws of conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, conservation of energy etc. The HPTM is a combined form of the Laplace transform, the homotopy perturbation method, and He’s polynomials. The nonlinear terms can be easily handled by the use of He’s polynomials. The numerical solutions obtained by the proposed method indicate that the approach is easy to implement and accurate. Some numerical illustrations are given. These results reveal that the proposed method is very effective and simple to perform

In this work, the cycle-mean-value approach to marine engine process simulation is considered. At first, a basic principles model is employed where the engine crankshaft and turbocharger shaft speeds are obtained by integration of the angular momentum conservation differential equations. Any other engine variable can then be obtained by solving a set of nonlinearly-coupled, algebraic equations, corresponding to energy and mass conservation through the engine. Nonlinear data analysis is then performed on this process model. By approximating the torque maps, generated by the thermodynamic basic principles model, with neural nets, explicit functional relationships are obtained. Identification of the power-plant operating regimes through linearization and decomposition is finally performed. In effect, a supervisory power-plant controller structure, applicable to real-time control and diagnostics, is proposed, incorporating the nonlinear state-space description of the plant.


The success of the Program of housing stock renovation in Moscow depends on the efficiency of resource management. One of the main urban planning documents that determine the nature of the reorganization of residential areas included in the Program of renovation is the territory planning project. The implementation of the planning project is a complex process that has a time point of its beginning and end, and also includes a set of interdependent parallel-sequential activities. From an organizational point of view, it is convenient to use network planning and management methods for project implementation. These methods are based on the construction of network models, including its varieties – a Gantt chart. A special application has been developed to simulate the implementation of planning projects. The article describes the basic principles and elements of modeling. The list of the main implementation parameters of the Program of renovation obtained with the help of the developed software for modeling is presented. The variants of using the results obtained for a comprehensive analysis of the implementation of large-scale urban projects are proposed.

This chapter provides a few examples of representations of the universe on a large scale—a first step in constructing a cosmological model. It first discusses the Copernican principle, which is an approximation/hypothesis about the matter distribution in the observable universe. The chapter then turns to the cosmological principle—a hypothesis about the geometry of the Riemannian spacetime representing the universe, which is assumed to be foliated by 3-spaces labeled by a cosmic time t which are homogeneous and isotropic, that is, ‘maximally symmetric’. After a discussion on maximally symmetric space, this chapter considers spacetimes with homogenous and isotropic sections. Finally, this chapter discusses Milne and de Sitter spacetimes.

This chapter provides a fuller treatment of the pure manifold theory with an expanded discussion of competing doctrines. It is argued that competing doctrines fail to account for the extensive and/or transitory aspect(s) of time, or they do so at great theoretical cost. The pure manifold theory accounts for the extensive aspect of time because it admits a four-dimensional manifold and it accounts for the transitory aspect of time because it hypothesizes that the increase of entropy is the thing that is ‘felt’ in veridical cases of felt passage. A four-dimensionalist theory of time travel is outlined, along with a sketch of large-scale cosmological traits of the universe.

Peculiar velocity measurements of 2500 southern spiral galaxies show large-scale flows in the direction of the Hydra-Centaurus clusters which fully participate in the flow themselves. The flow is not uniform over this region and seems to be associated with the denser regions which participate in the flow of amplitude about 400km/s. In the less dense regions the flow is small or non-existent. This makes the flow quite asymmetric and inconsistent with that expected from large-scale, parallel streaming flow that includes all galaxies out to 6000km/s as previously thought. The flow cannot be modelled by a Great Attractor at 4300km/s or the Centaurus clusters at 3500km/s. Indeed, from the density maps derived from the redshift surveys of “optical” and IRAS galaxies, it is difficult to see how the mass concentrations can be responsible particularly as they themselves participate in the flow. These results bring into question the generally accepted reason for the peculiar velocities of galaxies that they arise solely as a consequence of infall into the dense regions of the universe. To the N. of the Great Attractor region, the flow increases and shows no sign of diminishing out to the redshift limit of 8000km/s in this direction. We may have detected flow in the nearest section of the Great Wall.

AbstractGalaxy groups offer an important perspective on how the large-scale structure of the Universe has formed and evolved, being great laboratories to study the impact of the environment on the evolution of galaxies. We aim to investigate the properties of a galaxy group that is gravitationally lensing HELMS18, a submillimeter galaxy at z = 2.39. We obtained multi-object spectroscopy data using Gemini-GMOS to investigate the stellar kinematics of the central galaxies, determine its members and obtain the mass, radius and the numerical density profile of this group. Our final goal is to build a complete description of this galaxy group. In this work we present an analysis of its two central galaxies: one is an active galaxy with z = 0.59852 ± 0.00007, while the other is a passive galaxy with z = 0.6027 ± 0.0002. Furthermore, the difference between the redshifts obtained using emission and absorption lines indicates an outflow of gas with velocity v = 278.0 ± 34.3 km/s relative to the galaxy.

The intrinsic spectra of some distant blazars known as “extreme TeV blazars” have shown a hint at an anomalous hardening in the TeV energy region. Several extragalactic propagation models have been proposed to explain this possible excess transparency of the Universe to gamma-rays starting from a model which assumes the existence of so-called axion-like particles (ALPs) and the new process of gamma-ALP oscillations. Alternative models suppose that some of the observable gamma-rays are produced in the intergalactic cascades. This work focuses on investigating the spectral and angular features of one of the cascade models, the Intergalactic Hadronic Cascade Model (IHCM) in the contemporary astrophysical models of Extragalactic Magnetic Field (EGMF). For IHCM, EGMF largely determines the deflection of primary cosmic rays and electrons of intergalactic cascades and, thus, is of vital importance. Contemporary Hackstein models are considered in this paper and compared to the model of Dolag. The models assumed are based on simulations of the local part of large-scale structure of the Universe and differ in the assumptions for the seed field. This work provides spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and angular extensions of two extreme TeV blazars, 1ES 0229+200 and 1ES 0414+009. It is demonstrated that observable SEDs inside a typical point spread function of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) for IHCM would exhibit a characteristic high-energy attenuation compared to the ones obtained in hadronic models that do not consider EGMF, which makes it possible to distinguish among these models. At the same time, the spectra for IHCM models would have longer high energy tails than some available spectra for the ALP models and the universal spectra for the Electromagnetic Cascade Model (ECM). The analysis of the IHCM observable angular extensions shows that the sources would likely be identified by most IACTs not as point sources but rather as extended ones. These spectra could later be compared with future observation data of such instruments as Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) and LHAASO.
