Analysis and Comparison of Large Time Front Speeds in Turbulent Combustion Models
Predicting turbulent flame speed (the large time front speed) is a
fundamental problem in turbulent combustion theory. Several models have been
proposed to study the turbulent flame speed, such as the G-equations, the
F-equations (Majda-Souganidis model) and reaction-diffusion-advection (RDA)
equations. In the first part of this paper, we show that flow induced strain
reduces front speeds of G-equations in periodic compressible and shear flows.
The F-equations arise in asymptotic analysis of reaction-diffusion-advection
equations and are quadratically nonlinear analogues of the G-equations. In the
second part of the paper, we compare asymptotic growth rates of the turbulent
flame speeds from the G-equations, the F-equations and the RDA equations in the
large amplitude () regime of spatially periodic flows. The F and G equations
share the same asymptotic front speed growth rate; in particular, the same
sublinear growth law holds in cellular flows. Moreover, in two
space dimensions, if one of these three models (G-equation, F-equation and the
RDA equation) predicts the bending effect (sublinear growth in the large flow),
so will the other two. The nonoccurrence of speed bending is characterized by
the existence of periodic orbits on the torus and the property of their
rotation vectors in the advective flow fields. The cat's eye flow is discussed
as a typical example of directional dependence of the front speed bending. The
large time front speeds of the viscous F-equation have the same growth rate as
those of the inviscid F and G-equations in two dimensional periodic
incompressible flows.Comment: 42 page
Periodic orbits of the ABC flow with
In this paper, we prove that the ODE system
whose right-hand side is the Arnold-Beltrami-Childress (ABC) flow with
parameters , has periodic orbits on with rotation
vectors parallel to , , and . An application of this
result is that the well-known G-equation model for turbulent combustion with
this ABC flow on has a linear (i.e., maximal possible) flame
speed enhancement rate as the amplitude of the flow grows.Comment: 9 page
Uniqueness of Values of Aronsson Operators and Running Costs in “tug-of-War” Games
Let be the Aronsson operator associated with a Hamiltonian
Aronsson operators arise from variational problems, two person game
theory, control problems, etc. In this paper, we prove, under suitable
conditions, that if is simultaneously a
viscosity solution of both of the equations and in
, where then The assumption can be relaxed to in many
interesting situations. Also, we prove that if and is
simultaneously a viscosity solution of the equations and in then
This answers a question posed in Peres, Schramm, Scheffield and Wilson
[PSSW] concerning whether or not the value function uniquely determines the
running cost in the "tug-of-war" game.Comment: To appear in "Ann. Inst. H. Poincare Anal. Non Lineaire
Smart Chinese Reader: A Chinese Language Learning Aid with Web Browser
Smart Chinese Reader is a program based on NLP (natural language processing) technology to help you learn Chinese language through deep reading. It provides Chinese word segmentation, Chinese part of speech tagging, Chinese to English translation, example sentence search, and text to speech conversion. Compared with dictionary apps, it lets you gain more Chinese language knowledge (meanings and usages of Chinese words, patterns and even rhythms of Chinese sentences) from a text, rather than just to get through the text. It makes your Chinese learning more effective
