This work focuses on the development of a semi-analytical model that is appropriate for the rotational, steady, inviscid, and compressible motion of an ideal gas, which is accelerated uniformly along the length of a right-cylindrical rocket chamber. By overcoming some of the difficulties encountered in previous work on the subject, the present analysis leads to an improved mathematical formulation, which enables us to retrieve an exact solution for the pressure field. Considering a slender porous chamber of circular cross-section, the method that we follow reduces the problem’s mass, momentum, energy, ideal gas, and isentropic relations to a single integral equation that is amenable to a direct numerical evaluation. Then, using an Abel transformation, exact closed-form representations of the pressure distribution are obtained for particular values of the specific heat ratio. Throughout this effort, Saint-Robert’s power law is used to link the pressure to the mass injection rate at the wall. This allows us to compare the results associated with the axisymmetric chamber configuration to two closed-form analytical solutions developed under either one- or two-dimensional, isentropic flow conditions. The comparison is carried out assuming, first, a uniformly distributed mass flux and, second, a constant radial injection speed along the simulated propellant grain. Our amended formulation is consequently shown to agree with a one-dimensional solution obtained for the case of uniform wall mass flux, as well as numerical simulations and asymptotic approximations for a constant wall injection speed. The numerical simulations include three particular models: a strictly inviscid solver, which closely agrees with the present formulation, and both $k$–$\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}$ and Spalart–Allmaras computations.

This work is concerned with the spectrum and spectral norms of r-circulant matrices with generalized k-Horadam numbers entries. By using Abel transformation and some identities we obtain an explicit formula for the eigenvalues of them. In addition, a sufficient condition for an r-circulant matrix to be normal is presented. Based on the results we obtain the precise value for spectral norms of normal r-circulant matrix with generalized k-Horadam numbers, which generalize and improve the known results.

In the present paper, axisymmetric frictionless adhesive contact between a rigid punch and a power-law graded elastic half-space is analytically investigated with use of Betti's reciprocity theorem and the generalized Abel transformation, a set of general closed-form solutions are derived to the Hertzian contact and Johnson–Kendall–Roberts (JKR)-type adhesive contact problems for an arbitrary punch profile within a circular contact region. These solutions provide analytical expressions of the surface stress, deformation fields, and equilibrium relations among the applied load, indentation depth, and contact radius. Based on these results, we then examine the combined effects of material inhomogeneities and punch surface morphologies on the adhesion behaviors of the considered contact system. The analytical results obtained in this paper include the corresponding solutions for homogeneous isotropic materials and the Gibson soil as special cases and, therefore, can also serve as the benchmarks for checking the validity of the numerical solution methods.
