Numerical modeling of troposphere-induced gravity wave propagation
Sources of internal gravity waves (IGW) in the upper atmosphere are assumed to be meteorological processes in the troposphere. These sources are vertically and horizontally inhomogeneous and time dependent. In order to describe the IGW propagation from such sources, a numerical solution of a system of hydrodynamical equations is required. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the influence of the altitude latitude inhomogeneity of the temperature and wind fields on the IGW propagation as well as the processes of dissipation. An algorithm is proposed for numerical modelling of the IGW propagation over a limited area from tropospheric local sources to the upper atmosphere. The algorithm takes into account all the above features. A spectral grid method is used with the expansion of wave fields into the Fourier series over longitude. The upper limit conditions were obtained from the requirement of a limited energy dissipation rate in an atmospheric column. The no slip (zero velocity) condition was used at the Earth's surface
Integration of D-dimensional 2-factor spaces cosmological models by reducing to the generalized Emden-Fowler equation
The D-dimensional cosmological model on the manifold describing the evolution of 2 Einsteinian factor spaces,
and , in the presence of multicomponent perfect fluid source is
considered. The barotropic equation of state for mass-energy densities and the
pressures of the components is assumed in each space. When the number of the
non Ricci-flat factor spaces and the number of the perfect fluid components are
both equal to 2, the Einstein equations for the model are reduced to the
generalized Emden-Fowler (second-order ordinary differential) equation, which
has been recently investigated by Zaitsev and Polyanin within discrete-group
analysis. Using the integrable classes of this equation one generates the
integrable cosmological models. The corresponding metrics are presented. The
method is demonstrated for the special model with Ricci-flat spaces
and the 2-component perfect fluid source.Comment: LaTeX file, no figure
Phase Behavior of Melts of Diblock-Copolymers with One Charged Block
In this work we investigated the phase behavior of melts of block-copolymers
with one charged block by means of dissipative particle dynamics with explicit
electrostatic interactions. We assumed that all the Flory-Huggins \c{hi}
parameters were equal to 0 and showed that the charge correlation attraction
solely can cause microphase separation with long-range order; a phase diagram
was constructed by varying the volume fraction of the uncharged block and the
electrostatic interaction parameter {\lambda}. The obtained phase diagram was
compared to the phase diagram of corresponding neutral diblock-copolymers.
Surprisingly, the differences between these phase diagrams are rather subtle;
the same phases are observed, and the positions of the ODT points are similar
if the {\lambda}-parameter is considered as an "effective" \c{hi}-parameter.
Next, we studied the position of the ODT for lamellar structure depending on
the chain length N. It turned out that while for the uncharged
diblock-copolymer the product \c{hi}crN was almost independent of N, for the
diblock-copolymers with one charged block we observed a significant increase in
{\lambda}crN upon increasing N. It can be attributed to the fact that the
counterion entropy prevents the formation of ordered structures. This was
supported by studying the ODT in diblock-copolymers with charged blocks and
counterions cross-linked to the charged monomer units. The ODT for such systems
was observed at significantly lower values of {\lambda} with the difference
being more pronounced at longer chain lengths N. The diffusion of counterions
in the obtained ordered structures was studied and compared to the case of a
system with the same number of charged groups but homogeneous structure; the
diffusion coefficient in a direction in the lamellar plane was found to be
higher than in any direction in homogeneous structure
One-loop energy-momentum tensor in QED with electric-like background
We have obtained nonperturbative one-loop expressions for the mean
energy-momentum tensor and current density of Dirac's field on a constant
electric-like background. One of the goals of this calculation is to give a
consistent description of back-reaction in such a theory. Two cases of initial
states are considered: the vacuum state and the thermal equilibrium state.
First, we perform calculations for the vacuum initial state. In the obtained
expressions, we separate the contributions due to particle creation and vacuum
polarization. The latter contributions are related to the Heisenberg-Euler
Lagrangian. Then, we study the case of the thermal initial state. Here, we
separate the contributions due to particle creation, vacuum polarization, and
the contributions due to the work of the external field on the particles at the
initial state. All these contributions are studied in detail, in different
regimes of weak and strong fields and low and high temperatures. The obtained
results allow us to establish restrictions on the electric field and its
duration under which QED with a strong constant electric field is consistent.
Under such restrictions, one can neglect the back-reaction of particles created
by the electric field. Some of the obtained results generalize the calculations
of Heisenberg-Euler for energy density to the case of arbitrary strong electric
fields.Comment: 35 pages; misprints in the sign in definitions (40)-(43), and (68)
