Efficiency of the different integration strategies is evaluated in terms of accuracy and computational effort: main goal of this paper is the identification of an integration strategy able to provide the integral value with a prescribed accuracy using a limited number of function samples. Identification of the different qualities of the various integration schemes is obtained utilizing both algebraic and practical test cases. Differences in the computational effort needed by the different schemes is evidenced, and the implications on their application to practical RDO problems is highlighted.","PeriodicalId":37903,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Applied and Industrial Mathematics","volume":"7 1","pages":"23 - 47"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67376027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The liquid is at rest at the initial time, so that the subsequent flow is irrotational. For this reason, the velocity field due to the bubble motion is described by means of a potential, which is represented through an expansion based on Legendre polynomials. A system of two coupled, ordinary and nonlinear differential equations is derived for the vertical position of the bubble center of mass and for its radius. This latter equation is a modified form of the Rayleigh-Plesset equation, including a term proportional to the kinetic energy associated to the translational motion of the bubble.","PeriodicalId":37903,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Applied and Industrial Mathematics","volume":"7 1","pages":"48 - 67"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/caim-2016-0018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67375800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel approach using the Schwarz function of the boundary of the uniform vortex is adopted. It is based on a new integral relation between the (complex) velocity induced by the uniform vortex and its Schwarz function and on the time evolution equation of this function. They lead to a singular integrodifferential problem. Even if this problem is strongly nonlinear, its nonlinearities are confined inside two terms, only. As a consequence, its solution can be analytically approached by means of successive approximations. The ones at 0th (nonlinear terms neglected) and 1st (nonlinear terms evaluated on the 0-order solution) orders are calculated and compared with contour dynamics simulations of the vortex motion. A satisfactory agreement is keept for times which are small with respect to the turn-over time of the vortex pair.","PeriodicalId":37903,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Applied and Industrial Mathematics","volume":"7 1","pages":"22 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/caim-2016-0016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67375758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Started in 2014, CAIM dedicated special issues have proven to be a very popular vehicle for publishing together papers that have a common theme. Seeking to publish focused, coherent thematic volumes that will be of lasting use to the community, well cited, and of the highest quality, we hope to attract the attention of a broader community of readers and help to continue the growth of CAIM. Indeed, the number of special issue published pages has progressively increased from 2014 onwards. We believe that this growth is a very positive sign of the quality and popularity of these special issues. For this reason, we plan to continue to publish a themed issues once or more per year. The first themed issue, entitled Fractional Calculus, Probability and Non-local Operators: Applications and Recent Developments and edited by Gianni Pagnini and Enrico Scalas contained a selection of paper presented at a workshop organised on the occasion of the retirement of Prof. Francesco Mainardi in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain, on November 2013. CAIM Vol. 6 (2015) consist of two separate issues containing contributions of many outstanding researchers on fractional calculus that span either theoretical or applied topics on the interaction of fractional calculus, probability and non-local operators. We hereby launch the second CAIM themed issue. Under the title Constitutive Equations for Heat Conduction in Nanosystems and Nonequilibrium Processes, Guest Editors Vito Antonio Cimmelli and David Jou have assembled contributions from world-class experts in their fields that cover diverse topics related to the modelling of heat transport at nanoscale and in far-from-equilibrium processes.

When the front propagation occurs in systems characterized by an underlying random motion, the front gets a random character and a tracking method for fronts with a random motion is desired. The Level Set Method, which is a successful front tracking technique widely used for interfaces with deterministic motion, is here randomized assuming that the motion of the interface is characterized by a random diffusive process. In particular, here we consider the case of a motion governed by the time-fractional diffusion equation, leading to a probability density function for the interface particle displacement given by the M-Wright/Mainardi function. Some numerical results are shown and discussed.","PeriodicalId":37903,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Applied and Industrial Mathematics","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2015-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67589975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
