When the total quantity of surfactant is fixed, a traveling wave solution exists. For the case of constant flux of surfactant from an upstream reservoir, global traveling waves no longer exist as the surfactant accumulates at the leading edge of the thin film profile. The dynamics can be described using matched asymptotic expansions for t →∞ . The solution is constructed from quasistatically evolving traveling waves. The rate of growth of the surfactant profile is shown to be O( √ t) and is supported by numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":89656,"journal":{"name":"Applied mathematics research express : AMRX","volume":"31 1","pages":"15487"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81326682","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}

We consider the dewetting behavior of a film, when there is strong slip at a liquid-substrate interface. The film can be modeled by two coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) describing the film thickness and velocity. Using asymptotic methods, we describe the structure of the rim as it evolves in time and the rate of dewetting, in the limit of large slip lengths. An inner region emerges, closest to the dewetted region, where surface tension is important; in an outer region, three subregions develop. This asymptotic description is compared with numerical solutions of the full system of PDEs.","PeriodicalId":89656,"journal":{"name":"Applied mathematics research express : AMRX","volume":"237 1","pages":"25262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76941464","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}

As usual,we will first strict ourselves to similar linear systems and then we will be concerned with the original nonlinear problems. For the controllability analysis of the linear systems, the main tool will be a new Carleman estimate that holds for very weak solutions, that is, for solutions that only belong to L(Q) = L(0, T ; L(Ω)), of appropriate linear parabolic systems.

This model shows that in a young river channel, evolution is driven by white noise magnifying into a bore followed by a hydraulic jump. This mechanism produces a convex profile typical of young landscapes. A small knick-point then develops at the bottom of the unstable convex profile. This knick-point is magnified and colored into a diffusive shock which travels upslope, digging into the convex profile until the profile becomes concave, typical of mature landscapes.","PeriodicalId":89656,"journal":{"name":"Applied mathematics research express : AMRX","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73435845","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}

For finite Reynolds numbers, a nonlinear system ofdifferential recurrent relations admits two formal solutions: ageneral solution for flows forced by the dynamic pressure and ageneral solution for freestreams. For generating functions, whichare bounded together with their derivatives, the absoluteconvergence of the series solutions is shown symbolically byconverting the differential recurrent relations into tensorrecurrent relations and using the comparison and ratio tests. Atriangular structure of three-dimensional tensors of derivativesemployed in the tensor recurrent relations is obtained byinduction. A detailed examination of four basic forced flows andfour basic freestreams shows that the formal series solutions awayfrom boundaries are nonlinear superpositions of the Stokes flow, the Bernoulli flow, the Couette flow, and the Poiseuille flow thatare unsteady, two-dimensional continuations of the classicalsolutions at high Reynolds numbers.
