On the Local Well-posedness of a 3D Model for Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations with Partial Viscosity
In this short note, we study the local well-posedness of a 3D model for
incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with partial viscosity. This model was
originally proposed by Hou-Lei in \cite{HouLei09a}. In a recent paper, we prove
that this 3D model with partial viscosity will develop a finite time
singularity for a class of initial condition using a mixed Dirichlet Robin
boundary condition. The local well-posedness analysis of this initial boundary
value problem is more subtle than the corresponding well-posedness analysis
using a standard boundary condition because the Robin boundary condition we
consider is non-dissipative. We establish the local well-posedness of this
initial boundary value problem by designing a Picard iteration in a Banach
space and proving the convergence of the Picard iteration by studying the
well-posedness property of the heat equation with the same Dirichlet Robin
boundary condition

By choosing to view this document, you agree to all provisions of the copyright laws protecting it.The mixed H2/H∞ filtering problem for uncertain linear continuous-time systems with regional pole assignment is considered. The purpose of the problem is to design an uncertainty-independent filter such that, for all admissible parameter uncertainties, the following filtering requirements are simultaneously satisfied: 1) the filtering process is asymptotically stable; 2) the poles of the filtering matrix are located inside a prescribed region that compasses the vertical strips, horizontal strips, disks, or conic sectors; 3) both the H2 norm and the H∞ norm on the respective transfer functions are not more than the specified upper bound constraints. We establish a general framework to solve the addressed multiobjective filtering problem completely. In particular, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the problem in terms of a set of feasible linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). An illustrative example is given to illustrate the design procedures and performances of the proposed method
Computer program documentation for a subcritical wing design code using higher order far-field drag minimization
A subsonic, linearized aerodynamic theory, wing design program for one or two planforms was developed which uses a vortex lattice near field model and a higher order panel method in the far field. The theoretical development of the wake model and its implementation in the vortex lattice design code are summarized and sample results are given. Detailed program usage instructions, sample input and output data, and a program listing are presented in the Appendixes. The far field wake model assumes a wake vortex sheet whose strength varies piecewise linearly in the spanwise direction. From this model analytical expressions for lift coefficient, induced drag coefficient, pitching moment coefficient, and bending moment coefficient were developed. From these relationships a direct optimization scheme is used to determine the optimum wake vorticity distribution for minimum induced drag, subject to constraints on lift, and pitching or bending moment. Integration spanwise yields the bound circulation, which is interpolated in the near field vortex lattice to obtain the design camber surface(s)
On Finite Time Singularity and Global Regularity of an Axisymmetric Model for the 3D Euler Equations
We investigate the large time behavior of an axisymmetric model for the 3D
Euler equations. In \cite{HL09}, Hou and Lei proposed a 3D model for the
axisymmetric incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations with swirl. This
model shares many properties of the 3D incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes
equations. The main difference between the 3D model of Hou and Lei and the
reformulated 3D Euler and Navier-Stokes equations is that the convection term
is neglected in the 3D model. In \cite{HSW09}, the authors proved that the 3D
inviscid model can develop a finite time singularity starting from smooth
initial data on a rectangular domain. A global well-posedness result was also
proved for a class of smooth initial data under some smallness condition. The
analysis in \cite{HSW09} does not apply to the case when the domain is
axisymmetric and unbounded in the radial direction. In this paper, we prove
that the 3D inviscid model with an appropriate Neumann-Robin boundary condition
will develop a finite time singularity starting from smooth initial data in an
axisymmetric domain. Moreover, we prove that the 3D inviscid model has globally
smooth solutions for a class of large smooth initial data with some appropriate
boundary condition.Comment: Please read the published versio
Density Dependence of Transport Coefficients from Holographic Hydrodynamics
We study the transport coefficients of Quark-Gluon-Plasma in finite
temperature and finite baryon density. We use AdS/QCD of charged AdS black hole
background with bulk-filling branes identifying the U(1) charge as the baryon
number. We calculate the diffusion constant, the shear viscosity and the
thermal conductivity to plot their density and temperature dependences.
Hydrodynamic relations between those are shown to hold exactly. The diffusion
constant and the shear viscosity are decreasing as a function of density for
fixed total energy. For fixed temperature, the fluid becomes less diffusible
and more viscous for larger baryon density.Comment: LaTeX, 1+33 pages, 6 figures, references adde
Dirac nodal line metal for topological antiferromagnetic spintronics
Topological antiferromagnetic (AFM) spintronics is an emerging field of
research, which exploits the N\'eel vector to control the topological
electronic states and the associated spin-dependent transport properties. A
recently discovered N\'eel spin-orbit torque has been proposed to electrically
manipulate Dirac band crossings in antiferromagnets; however, a reliable AFM
material to realize these properties in practice is missing. Here, we predict
that room temperature AFM metal MnPd allows the electrical control of the
Dirac nodal line by the N\'eel spin-orbit torque. Based on first-principles
density functional theory calculations, we show that reorientation of the
N\'eel vector leads to switching between the symmetry-protected degenerate
state and the gapped state associated with the dispersive Dirac nodal line at
the Fermi energy. The calculated spin Hall conductivity strongly depends on the
N\'eel vector orientation and can be used to experimentally detect the
predicted effect using a proposed spin-orbit torque device. Our results
indicate that AFM Dirac nodal line metal MnPd represents a promising
material for topological AFM spintronics
