Nonresonant bilinear forms for partially dissipative hyperbolic systems violating the Shizuta-Kawashima condition

In the context of hyperbolic systems of balance laws, the Shizuta-Kawashima coupling condition guarantees that all the variables of the system are dissipative even though the system is not totally dissipative. Hence it plays a crucial role in terms of sufficient conditions for the global in time…

Analysis of the flow field around a rudder in the wake of a simplified marine propeller

The vortex-body interaction problem, that characterizes the flow field of a rudder placed downstream of a single-blade marine rotor, is investigated by numerical simulations. The particular topology of the propeller wake, consisting of a helicoidal vortex detached from the blade tips (tip vortex)…

Existence and uniqueness for a p-laplacian nonlinear eigenvalue problem

We consider the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem, (the eigenfunction) and ? > 0 (the eigen value), ? is an arbitrary domain in RN with finite measure, 1 < p < ?, 1 < q < p*, p* = Np/(N - p) if 1 < p < N and p* = ? if p >= N. We study several existence and uniqueness results as…

Complex Adaptive services

The duality between service providers and services consumers is a basic pattern of service oriented computing. A service oriented approach to business processes and to adaptive interacting processes requires an additional pattern based on the, possibly online, interaction between specification,…

Hybrid lattice Boltzmann method on overlapping grids

In this work, a hybrid lattice Boltzmann method (HLBM) is proposed, where the standard lattice Boltzmann implementation based on the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (LBGK) approximation is combined together with an unstructured finite-volume lattice Boltzmann model. The method is constructed on an…

Wavelet Regression Estimation in Nonparametric Mixed Effect Models

We show that a nonparametric estimator of a regression function, obtained as solution of a specific regularization problem is the bestlinear unbiased predictor in some nonparametric mixed effect model. Since this estimator is intractable from a numerical point of view, we propose a tight…

Drag and lift coefficients of ellipsoidal particles under rarefied flow conditions

The capability to simulate a two-way coupled interaction between a rarefied gas and an arbitrary-shaped colloidal particle is important for many practical applications, such as aerospace engineering, lung drug delivery, and semiconductor manufacturing. By means of numerical simulations based on the…
