In this study, a phase-field lattice-Boltzmann model, accelerated by state-of-the-art parallel-adaptive mesh refinement algorithm, is solved to investigate the morphological evolution of the Mg-Gd dendrite under convection. The lengths of the dendrite primary arms are quantified to analyze the asymmetric dendrite patterns under convection. The effects of the multiple factors including the orientation angle, the flow intensity, and the undercooling are elucidated, and the relation between the length ratios and the three independent factors is established through multiple regression analysis. The upstream-downstream arm length difference and the included angle between the primary arms are characterized to illustrate the effect of convection on the evolution of the Mg-Gd dendrite. The 3D morphological selection, together with algorithm performance tests, is further discussed to elucidate the change of morphological symmetry under different growth conditions and to demonstrate the robustness of the numerical scheme. Deep understanding of the synergy between convection-induced solute transport and undercooling-driven growth, which largely determines the morphological selection, can assist guidance for the prediction and control of the magnesium alloy microstructures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55218,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Mathematics with Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142592656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are cylindrical devices modeled using the transverse magnetic reduction of Maxwell’s equations, so the mathematics is two-dimensional. The cross-section consists of a dielectric inclusion surrounded by an “epsilon-near-zero” (ENZ) shell. When the shell has just the right area, its interaction with the inclusion produces a resonance. Mathematically, the resonance is a nontrivial solution of a 2D divergence-form Helmoltz equation <span>(nabla cdot left( varepsilon ^{-1}(x,omega ) nabla u right) + omega ^2 mu u = 0)</span>, where <span>(varepsilon (x,omega ))</span> is the (complex-valued) dielectric permittivity, <span>(omega )</span> is the frequency, <span>(mu )</span> is the magnetic permeability, and a homogeneous Neumann condition is imposed at the outer boundary of the shell. This is a nonlinear eigenvalue problem, since <span>(varepsilon )</span> depends on <span>(omega )</span>. Use of an ENZ material in the shell means that <span>(varepsilon (x,omega ))</span> is nearly zero there, so the PDE is rather singular. Working with a Lorentz model for the dispersion of the ENZ material, we put the discussion of Liberal et. al. on a sound foundation by proving the existence of the anticipated resonance when the loss parameter of the Lorentz model is sufficiently small. Our analysis is perturbative in character, using the implicit function theorem despite the apparently singular form of the PDE. While the existence of the resonance depends only on the area of the ENZ shell, its quality (that is, the rate at which the resonance decays) depends on the shape of the shell. It is therefore natural to consider an associated optimal design problem: what shape shell gives the slowest-decaying resonance? We prove that if the dielectric inclusion is a ball then the optimal shell is a concentric annulus. For an inclusion of any shape, we study a convex relaxation of the design problem using tools from convex duality. Finally, we discuss the conjecture that our relaxed problem amounts to considering homogenization-like limits of nearly optimal designs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55484,"journal":{"name":"Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
