These systems are truncated at a certain number and then solved numerically. The effects of open and perforated case, frequency and porosity on the radiation phenomenon are shown graphically. In the present study, perforated screen makes the problem more interesting when it is compared with the unperforated screen. In this context, solution of the problem is compered numerically with similar studies, which are used different method to obtain Wiener–Hopf equation, existing in the literature. As a result, it is observed that in the absence of a perforated screen, there is a perfect agreement between the two results.","PeriodicalId":56297,"journal":{"name":"IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":"86 1","pages":"828-844"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45606456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this optimization problem, such systems are also subjected to damping and periodic external forces. The function to be minimized is the average ratio of the square norm of the on-site internal forces (response) to the square norm of the external on-site forces (input). Under the average of this response/input ratio is meant the average over time and over all configurations of external forces. As main result, it is established that the optimum stiffness matrix converges to the discrete and periodic bi-Laplacian operator as the size \u0000<tex>$n$</tex>\u0000 of the system increases. Such a result is obtained under the following assumptions: (a) the system has the natural mode shape (eigenvector) of alternating \u0000<tex>$1$</tex>\u0000s and \u0000<tex>$-1$</tex>\u0000s; and (b) the (external) forcing frequency is at least \u0000<tex>$1.095$</tex>\u0000 times higher than the highest natural frequency.

In addition, the uncertainties in the dynamical system, including those in the physical models and parameters, initial and boundary conditions and numerical methods, impact the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) prediction of turbulence and chemical reactions. To improve the CFD prediction, this study focuses on the development and application of a maximum likelihood ensemble filter (MLEF), an ensemble-based data assimilation (DA), for flows featuring combustion and/or turbulence. MLEF finds the optimal analysis and its uncertainty by maximizing the posterior probability density function. The novelty of the study lies in the combination of advanced DA and CFD methods for a new comprehensive application to predict engineering fluid dynamics. The study combines important aspects, including an ensemble-based DA with analysis and uncertainty estimation, an augmented control vector that simultaneously adjusts initial conditions and model empirical parameters and an application of DA to CFD modeling of combustion and flows with complex geometry. The DA performance is validated by a turbulent Couette flow. The new CFD–DA system is then applied to solve the time-evolving shear-layer mixing with methane-air combustion and the turbulent flow over a bluff-body geometry. Results demonstrate the improvement of estimates of model parameters and the uncertainty reduction in initial conditions (ICs) for CFD modeling of flames and flows by the MLEF method.","PeriodicalId":56297,"journal":{"name":"IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":"86 1","pages":"631-661"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/imamat/hxab010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44645899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By appropriately concatenating asymptotic solutions for the two phases we are able to reduce the dynamics to a one-dimensional apex to apex return map.

The global relation between the distinct spectral functions is also proposed to derive two distinct but equivalent types of representations of the Dirichlet–Neumann boundary value problems. Particularly, the relevant formulae for the boundary value problems on the finite interval can generate ones on the half-line as the length of the interval closes to infinity. Finally, we also analyse the linearizable boundary conditions for the Gel'fand–Levitan–Marchenko representation.
