Heat And Moisture

The study of heat and moisture flows in multiple layers of different materials that make up the unsaturated zone is of great importance when characterizing the behaviour of these materials. In the present paper, analytical solutions of the one-dimensional heat and moisture coupled diffusion problem for layered materials under two different sets of boundary conditions are proposed. The coupled flow of heat and moisture are assumed to follow the theory of Philip and De Vries, and the solutions are derived analytically using integral transform methods. A comparison between the analytical and numerical solutions for one example problem shows satisfactory results. Furthermore, a procedure is presented for estimating heat and moisture distribution profiles in any layered materials using the derived analytical solutions. It is expected that the proposed analytical solutions will be used effectively for preliminary analyses of coupled heat and moisture movements in unsaturated porous media.

Special Cases

We present both analytical and numerical solutions describing seepage flows in an unsaturated permeable seabed induced by transient long waves. The effects of compressibility of pore water in the seabed due to a small degree of unsaturation are considered in the investigation. To make the problem tractable analytically, we first focus our attention on situations where the horizontal scale of the seepage flow is much larger than the vertical scale. With this simplification the pore-water pressure in the soil column is governed by a one-dimensional diffusion equation with a specified pressure at the water–seabed interface and the no-flux condition at the bottom of the seabed. Analytical solutions for pore-water pressure and velocity are obtained for arbitrary transient waves. Special cases are studied for periodic waves, cnoidal waves, solitary waves and bores. Numerical solutions are also obtained by simultaneously solving the Navier–Stokes equations for water wave motions and the exact two-dimensional diffusion equation for seepage flows in the seabed. The analytical solutions are used to check the accuracy of the numerical methods. On the other hand, numerical solutions extend the applicability of the analytical solutions. The liquefaction potential in a permeable bed as well as the energy dissipation under various wave conditions are then discussed.

This paper provides a solution for two-dimensional heating over a rectangular region on a homogeneous plate. It has application to verification of numerical conduction codes as well as direct application for heating and cooling of electronic equipment. Additionally, it can be applied as a direct solution for the inverse heat conduction problem, most notably used in thermal protection systems for re-entry vehicles. The solutions used in this work are generated using Green’s functions. Two approaches are used which provide solutions for either semi-infinite plates or finite plates with isothermal conditions which are located a long distance from the heating. The methods are both efficient numerically and have extreme accuracy, which can be used to provide additional solution verification. The solutions have components that are shown to have physical significance. The extremely precise nature of analytical solutions allows them to be used as prime standards for their respective transient conduction cases. This extreme precision also allows an accurate calculation of heat flux by finite differences between two points of very close proximity which would not be possible with numerical solutions. This is particularly useful near heated surfaces and near corners. Similarly, sensitivity coefficients for parameter estimation problems can be calculated with extreme precision using this same technique. Another contribution of these solutions is the insight that they can bring. Important dimensionless groups are identified and their influence can be more readily seen than with numerical results. For linear problems, basic heating elements on plates, for example, can be solved to aid in understanding more complex cases. Furthermore these basic solutions can be superimposed both in time and space to obtain solutions for numerous other problems. This paper provides an analytical two-dimensional, transient solution for heating over a rectangular region on a homogeneous square plate. Several methods are available for the solution of such problems. One of the most common is the separation of variables (SOV) method. In the standard implementation of the SOV method, convergence can be slow and accuracy lacking. Another method of generating a solution to this problem makes use of time-partitioning which can produce accurate results. However, numerical integration may be required in these cases, which, in some ways, negates the advantages offered by the analytical solutions. The method given herein requires no numerical integration; it also exhibits exponential series convergence and can provide excellent accuracy. The procedure involves the derivation of previously-unknown simpler forms for the summations, in some cases by virtue of the use of algebraic components. Also, a mathematical identity given in this paper can be used for a variety of related problems.

In this paper, galloping vibrations of a lightly iced transmission line are investigated through a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) nonlinear oscillator. The 2-DOF nonlinear oscillator is used to describe the transverse and torsional motions of the galloping cables. The analytical solutions of periodic motions of galloping cables are presented through generalized harmonic balanced method. The analytical solutions of periodic motions for the galloping cable are compared with the numerical solutions, and the corresponding stability and bifurcation of periodic motions are analyzed by the eigenvalues analysis. To demonstrate the accuracy of the analytical solutions of periodic motions, the harmonic amplitudes are presented. This investigation will help one better understand galloping mechanism of iced transmission lines.

This study acquires the exact and numerical approximations of a reaction-convection-diffusion equation arising in mathematical bi- ology namely; Murry equation through its analytical solutions obtained by using a mathematical approach; the modified exp(-Ψ(η))-expansion function method. We successfully obtained the kink-type and singular soliton solutions with the hyperbolic function structure to this equa- tion. We performed the numerical simulations (3D and 2D) of the obtained analytical solutions under suitable values of parameters. We obtained the approximate numerical and exact solutions to this equa- tion by utilizing the finite forward difference scheme by taking one of the obtained analytical solutions into consideration. We investigate the stability of the finite forward difference method with the equation through the Fourier-Von Neumann analysis. We present the L2 and L∞ error norms of the approximations. The numerical and exact approx- imations are compared and the comparison is supported by a graphic plot. All the computations and the graphics plots in this study are car- ried out with help of the Matlab and Wolfram Mathematica softwares. Finally, we submit a comprehensive conclusion to this study.

Abstract. This study discussed water storage in aquifers of hillslopes under temporally varied rainfall recharge by employing a hillslope-storage equation to simulate groundwater flow. The hillslope width was assumed to vary exponentially to denote the following complex hillslope types: uniform, convergent, and divergent. Both analytical and numerical solutions were acquired for the storage equation with a recharge source. The analytical solution was obtained using an integral transform technique. The numerical solution was obtained using a finite difference method in which the upwind scheme was used for space derivatives and the third-order Runge–Kutta scheme was used for time discretization. The results revealed that hillslope type significantly influences the drains of hillslope storage. Drainage was the fastest for divergent hillslopes and the slowest for convergent hillslopes. The results obtained from analytical solutions require the tuning of a fitting parameter to better describe the groundwater flow. However, a gap existed between the analytical and numerical solutions under the same scenario owing to the different versions of the hillslope-storage equation. The study findings implied that numerical solutions are superior to analytical solutions for the nonlinear hillslope-storage equation, whereas the analytical solutions are better for the linearized hillslope-storage equation. The findings thus can benefit research on and have application in soil and water conservation.

Abstract The steady-state magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of a third-grade fluid with a variable viscosity parameter between concentric cylinders (annular pipe) with heat transfer is examined. The temperature of annular pipes is assumed to be higher than the temperature of the fluid. Three types of viscosity models were used, i.e., the constant viscosity model, space dependent viscosity model and the Reynolds viscosity model which is dependent on temperature in an exponential manner. Approximate analytical solutions are presented by using the perturbation technique. The variation of velocity and temperature profile in the fluid is analytically calculated. In addition, equations of motion are solved numerically. The numerical solutions obtained are compared with analytical solutions. Thus, the validity intervals of the analytical solutions are determined.
