Schwarzschild Problem

We consider a Schwarzschild type solution in the discrete Regge calculus formulation of general relativity quantized within the path integral approach. Earlier, we found a mechanism of a loose fixation of the background scale of Regge lengths. This elementary length scale is defined by the Planck scale and some free parameter of such a quantum extension of the theory. Besides, Regge action was reduced to an expansion over metric variations between the tetrahedra and, in the main approximation, is a finite-difference form of the Hilbert–Einstein action. Using for the Schwarzschild problem a priori general non-spherically symmetrical ansatz, we get finite-difference equations for its discrete version. This defines a solution which at large distances is close to the continuum Schwarzschild geometry, and the metric and effective curvature at the center are cut off at the elementary length scale. Slow rotation can also be taken into account (Lense–Thirring-like metric). Thus, we get a general approach to the classical background in the quantum framework in zero order: it is an optimal starting point for the perturbative expansion of the theory, finite-difference equations are classical, and the elementary length scale has quantum origin. Singularities, if any, are resolved.

Exactly Solvable

A certain representation for the Heisenberg algebra in finite difference operators is established. The Lie algebraic procedure of discretization of differential equations with isospectral property is proposed. Using sl 2-algebra based approach, (quasi)-exactly-solvable finite difference equations are described. It is shown that the operators having the Hahn, Charlier and Meissner polynomials as the eigenfunctions are reproduced in the present approach as some particular cases. A discrete version of the classical orthogonal polynomials (like Hermite, Laguerre, Legendre and Jacobi ones) is introduced.

Concrete Shells

AbstractThe study solves a system of finite difference equations for flexible shallow concrete shells while taking into account the nonlinear deformations. All stiffness properties of the shell are taken as variables, i.e., stiffness surface and through-thickness stiffness. Differential equations under consideration were evaluated in the form of algebraic equations with the finite element method. For a reinforced shell, a system of 98 equations on a 8×8 grid was established, which was next solved with the approximation method from the nonlinear plasticity theory. A test case involved computing a 1×1 shallow shell taking into account the nonlinear properties of concrete. With nonlinear equations for the concrete creep taken as constitutive, equations for the quasi-static shell motion under constant load were derived. The resultant equations were written in a differential form and the problem of solving these differential equations was then reduced to the solving of the Cauchy problem. The numerical solution to this problem allows describing the stress-strain state of the shell at each point of the shell grid within a specified time interval.

Excellent Stability

Abstract A reservoir simulation technique that employs semi-implicit approximations to relative permeabilities exhibits excellent stability and permeabilities exhibits excellent stability and convergence characteristics when applied to water- or gas-coning problems. Recent workers in this area have made a simplifying assumption in order to linearize the flow terms of the semi-implicit finite-difference equations. This paper describes a method of solving efficiently paper describes a method of solving efficiently the nonlinear form of the equations and demonstrates that time-step sensitivity is reduced by iterating on the nonlinear terms. In addition, it addresses the problem of allocating a well's production among multiple grid blocks. Example problems include both water-coning and gas-percolation applications. Introduction Multiphase reservoir simulators traditionally have employed finite-difference approximations in which relative permeabilities are evaluated explicitly at the beginning of each time step. Simulators of this type are capable of handling many reservoir studies in a perfectly satisfactory fashion, but they are incapable of solving economically problems characterized by high flow velocities. Included in this category are the studies of such phenomena as well coning and gas percolation. The difficulty in such problems is a stability limitation imposed by the use of explicit relative permeabilities. In an attempt to overcome this permeabilities. In an attempt to overcome this limitation, Blair and Weinaug developed a simulator that employed implicitly evaluated relative permeabilities. The increased stability of their permeabilities. The increased stability of their equations allowed the use of time steps much larger than previously possible, but this was counteracted by an increase in the computational work per time step and an increased difficulty in the iterative solution of the difference equations. While the net result was a significant advance in the solution of coning problems, improvements still were needed to increase the dependability and decrease the cost of obtaining solutions for such problems. More recently, two papers were published describing a method that employs semi-implicit relative permeabilities. This method is greatly superior to the fully implicit method, both in computational effort and maximum time-step size. In developing this method, the previous workers made a simplifying assumption to obtain linear finite-difference equations. We have developed a reservoir simulator based on the nonlinear form of the semi-implicit finite-difference equations. This paper describes the techniques used in the simulator and presents the results of some tests conducted with it. These include time-step sensitivity studies and tests of alternate production allocation methods. Some of these tests compare the nonlinear form of the semi-implicit method with the linear form.
