Searching the (really) real general solution of 2D Laplace differential equation

This is not a new result. Purpose of this work is to describe a method to search the analytical expression of the general real solution of the two-dimensional Laplace differential equation. This thing is not easy to find in scientific literature and, if present, often it is justified with the assertion that an arbitrary analytic complex function is a solution of Laplace equation, so introducing the condition of complex-differentiability which is not really necessary for the existence of a real solution. The question of the knowledge of real exact solutions to Laplace equation is of great importance in science and engineering.Comment: None new, but re-vie

Adaptive grids as parametrized scale-free networks

In this paper we present a possible model of adaptive grids for numerical resolution of differential problems, using physical or geometrical properties, as viscosity or velocity gradient of a moving fluid. The relation between the values of grid step and these entities is based on the mathematical scheme offered by the model of scale-free networks, due to Barabasi, so that the step can be connected to the other variables by a constitutive relation. Some examples and an application are discussed, showing that this approach can be further developed for treatment of more complex situations.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure

Fast computing of velocity field for flows in industrial burners and pumps

In this work we present a technique of fast numerical computation for solutions of Navier-Stokes equations in the case of flows of industrial interest. At first the partial differential equations are translated into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using the geometrical shape of the domain where the flow is developing, then these ODEs are numerically resolved using a set of computations distributed among the available processors. We present some results from simulations on a parallel hardware architecture using native multithreads software and simulating a shared-memory or a distributed-memory environment.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures; paper accepted for Special Issue "Application of distributed and grid computing", Future Generation Computer Systems journal, 200

Costruction of classic exact solutions for Tricomi equation

A formula to construct classic exact solutions to Tricomi partial differential equation. The steps to obtain this formula require only elementary resolution of a simple system of first order PDEs

On local symbolic approximation and resolution of ODEs using Implicit Function Theorem

In this work the implicit function theorem is used for searching local symbolic resolution of differential equations. General results of existence for first order equations are proven and some examples, one relative to cavitation in a fluid, are developed. These examples seem to show that local approximation of non linear differential equations can give useful informations about symbolic form of possible solutions, and in the case a global solution is known, locally the accuracy of approximation can be good.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures; keywords: ordinary differential equations, implicit function theorem, local solutions, symbolic solutions, cavitatio
