A simple closed-form solution has been obtained for an axisymmetrical turbulent swirling jet issuing from a circular source into a semi-infinite motionless ambient fluid by introducing the assumptions of similar axial and swirling velocity profiles and lateral entrainment of ambient fluid into the integrated governing equations. Results for the decays of the axial and swirling velocities and the spray of the jet agree closely with the existing experimental findings on the velocity fields of a swirling round turbulent jet of air generated by flow issuing from a rotating pipe into a reservoir of motionless air.

To date, much of the work done on ferroelectric fracture assumes the material is elastically isotropic, yet there can be considerable polarization induced anisotropy. More sophisticated solutions of the fracture problem incorporate anisotropy through the Stroh formalism generalized to the piezoelectric material. This gives equations for the stress singularity, but the characteristic equation involves solving a sixth order polynomial. In general this must be accomplished numerically for each composition. In this work it is shown that a closed form solution can be obtained using orthotropy rescaling. This technique involves rescaling the coordinate system based on certain ratios of the elastic, dielectric, and piezoelectric coefficients. The result is that the governing equations can be reduced to the biharmonic equation and solutions for the isotropic material utilized to obtain solutions for the anisotropic material. This leads to closed form solutions for the stress singularity in terms of ratios of the elastic, dielectric, and piezoelectric coefficients. The results of the two approaches are compared and the contribution of anisotropy to the stress intensity factor discussed.

This paper presents the modeling steps towards development of frequency equations for a cantilever beam with a tip mass under general base excitations. More specifically, the beam is considered to vibrate in all the three directions, while subjected to a base rotational motion around its longitudinal direction. This is a common configuration utilized in many vibrating beam gyroscopes and well drilling systems. The governing equations are derived using Extended Hamilton’s Principle with general 6-DOF base motion. The natural frequency equations are then extracted in closed-form for the case where the base undergoes longitudinal rotation. For validation purposes, the resulting natural frequencies are compared with two example case studies; one with a beam on a stationary base and the other one with a rotor having flexible shaft.

Since pairwise registration is a necessary step for the seamless fusion of point clouds from neighboring stations, a closed-form solution to planar feature-based registration of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) point clouds is proposed in this paper. Based on the Plücker coordinate-based representation of linear features in three-dimensional space, a quad tuple-based representation of planar features is introduced, which makes it possible to directly determine the difference between any two planar features. Dual quaternions are employed to represent spatial transformation and operations between dual quaternions and the quad tuple-based representation of planar features are given, with which an error norm is constructed. Based on L2-norm-minimization, detailed derivations of the proposed solution are explained step by step. Two experiments were designed in which simulated data and real data were both used to verify the correctness and the feasibility of the proposed solution. With the simulated data, the calculated registration results were consistent with the pre-established parameters, which verifies the correctness of the presented solution. With the real data, the calculated registration results were consistent with the results calculated by iterative methods. Conclusions can be drawn from the two experiments: (1) The proposed solution does not require any initial estimates of the unknown parameters in advance, which assures the stability and robustness of the solution; (2) Using dual quaternions to represent spatial transformation greatly reduces the additional constraints in the estimation process.

This article derives a closed-form pricing formula for the European exchange option in a stochastic volatility framework. Firstly, with the Feynman–Kac theorem's application, we obtain a relation between the price of the European exchange option and a European vanilla call option with unit strike price under a doubly stochastic volatility model. Then, we obtain the closed-form solution for the vanilla option using the characteristic function. A key distinguishing feature of the proposed simplified approach is that it does not require a change of numeraire in contrast with the usual methods to price exchange options. Finally, through numerical experiments, the accuracy of the newly derived formula is verified by comparing with the results obtained using Monte Carlo simulations.
