<abstract><p>We consider several aspects of conjugating symmetry methods, including the method of invariants, with an asymptotic approach. In particular we consider how to extend to the stochastic setting several ideas which are well established in the deterministic one, such as conditional, partial and asymptotic symmetries. A number of explicit examples are presented.</p></abstract>

Low Earth Orbit is becoming crowded with satellites. Updating estimates of collision probabilities is important as new deployments are authorised but is difficult because only limited information is given. This report investigates developing analytic estimates of collision probabilities. A survey of approaches reported in the literature is carried out. A collision involving a satellite from the Iridium cluster is reviewed. A simple analytic expression for the collision probability between two satellites is derived using the smallness of several dimensionless ratios appearing in the problem. Single collision probabilities are then extended to orbital planes populated by n satellites with the aim of finding the optimal point at which to traverse such an orbit. This report demonstrates that analytic estimates relevant to the problem can be made. Further work should focus on: making these estimates rigorous by using a formal asymptotic approach, considering multiple orbital planes and introducing time dependence

The direct problem of antiplane oscillations of a layer with delamination in the context of the gradient theory of elasticity is considered. The gradient model proposed by Aifantis is taken as a mathematical model. The main attention has been paid to the analysis of mechanical fields at the crack bank and at its tips - stress concentrators. The study is carried out using the method of boundary integral equations (BIE). The BIE for the gradient of displacement field on the crack is constructed. The analysis of the constructed BIE is carried out and the cubic singularity is explicitly revealed. The solution of singular BIE is constructed using approximating Chebyshev polynomials. A study for cracks of small relative length - asymptotic approach is carried out, simple semi-analytical expressions for constructing the crack swap function are obtained, the range of efficiency of the asymptotic approach is obtained. The stress fields in the area of the crack tips are constructed. Numerical results of computational experiments are presented.

The meridional component of the earth's rotation is often neglected in geophysical contexts. This is referred to as the ‘traditional approximation’ and is justified by the typically small vertical velocity and aspect ratio of such problems. Ocean fronts are regions of strong horizontal buoyancy gradient and are associated with strong vertical transport of tracers and nutrients. Given these comparatively large vertical velocities, non-traditional rotation may play a role in governing frontal dynamics. Here the effects of non-traditional rotation on a front in turbulent thermal wind balance are considered using an asymptotic approach. Solutions are presented for a general horizontal buoyancy profile and examined in the simple case of a straight front. Non-traditional effects are found to depend strongly on the direction of the front and may lead to the generation of jets and the modification of the frontal circulation and vertical transport.

Abstract Pantographic mechanisms can be introduced in the cellular periodic microstructure of architected metamaterials to achieve functional effects of local inertia amplification. The paper presents a one-dimensional pantographic metamaterial, characterized by an inertially amplified tetra-atomic cell. An internally constrained two-degrees-of-freedom model is formulated to describe the undamped free propagation of harmonic waves in the weakly nonlinear regime. A general asymptotic approach is employed to analytically determine the linear and nonlinear dispersion properties. Analytical, although asymptotically approximate, functions are obtained for the nonlinear wavefrequencies and waveforms, which show significant nonlinear effects including softening/hardening bending of the backbone curves and synclastic/anticlastic curvatures of the invariant manifolds.

AbstractDimensional reduction strategy is an effective approach to derive reliable conceptual models to describe flow in fractured porous media. The fracture aperture is several orders of magnitude smaller than the characteristic size (e.g., the length of the fracture) of the physical problem. We identify the aperture to length ratio as the small parameter 𝜖 with the fracture permeability scaled as an exponent of 𝜖. We consider a non-Newtonian fluid described by the Carreau model type where the viscosity is dependent on the fluid velocity. Using formal asymptotic approach, we derive a catalogue of reduced models at the vanishing limit of 𝜖. Our derivation provides new models in a hybrid-dimensional setting as well as models which exhibit two-scale behaviour. Several numerical examples confirm the theoretical derivations of the upscaled models. Moreover, we have also studied the sensitivity of the upscaled models when a particular upscaled model is used beyond its range of validity to provide additional insight.
