The curvatures of a wavefront along a ray in laterally inhomogenous three‐dimensional velocity media separated by curved first‐order interfaces can be computed by a system of equations that includes a Riccati‐type differential matrix equation. This has a simple analytic solution along circular raypaths in media of constant velocity gradients.

AbstractAn approximation to the first-order momentum balance with consistent boundary conditions is derived using variational methods. Longitudinal and lateral stresses are treated as depth-independent, but vertical velocity gradients are accounted for both in the nonlinear viscosity and in the treatment of basal stress, allowing for flow over a frozen bed. A numerical scheme is presented that is significantly less computationally expensive than that of a fully three-dimensional (3-D) solver. The numerical solver is subjected to the ISMIP-HOM experiments and experiments involving nonlinear sliding laws, and results are compared with those of 3-D models. The agreement with first-order surface velocities is favorable down to length scales of 10 km for flow over a flat bed with periodic basal traction, and ∼40 km for flow over periodic basal topography.

Abstract Boundaries in three-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 superconformal theories may preserve one half of the original bulk supersymmetry. There are two possibilities which are characterized by the chirality of the leftover supercharges. Depending on the choice, the remaining 2d boundary algebra exhibits $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (0, 2) or $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (1) supersymmetry. In this work we focus on correlation functions of chiral fields for both types of supersymmetric boundaries. We study a host of correlators using superspace techniques and calculate superconformal blocks for two- and three-point functions. For $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (1) supersymmetry, some of our results can be analytically continued in the spacetime dimension while keeping the codimension fixed. This opens the door for a bootstrap analysis of the ϵ-expansion in supersymmetric BCFTs. Armed with our analytically-continued superblocks, we prove that in the free theory limit two-point functions of chiral (and antichiral) fields are unique. The first order correction, which already describes interactions, is universal up to two free parameters. As a check of our analysis, we study the Wess-Zumino model with a super-symmetric boundary using Feynman diagrams, and find perfect agreement between the perturbative and bootstrap results.

AbstractThe study of microstructure evolution in additive manufacturing of metals would be aided by knowing the thermal history. Since temperature measurements beneath the surface are difficult, estimates are obtained from computational thermo-mechanical models calibrated against traces left in the sample revealed after etching, such as the trace of the melt pool boundary. Here we examine the question of how reliable thermal histories computed from a model that reproduces the melt pool trace are. To this end, we perform experiments in which one of two different laser beams moves with constant velocity and power over a substrate of 17-4PH SS or Ti-6Al-4V, with low enough power to avoid generating a keyhole. We find that thermal histories appear to be reliably computed provided that (a) the power density distribution of the laser beam over the substrate is well characterized, and (b) convective heat transport effects are accounted for. Poor control of the laser beam leads to potentially multiple three-dimensional melt pool shapes compatible with the melt pool trace, and therefore to multiple potential thermal histories. Ignoring convective effects leads to results that are inconsistent with experiments, even for the mild melt pools here.

Abstract Some structural properties as well as a general three-dimensional boundary value problem for normally hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations of first order are studied. A condition is given which enables one to reduce the system under consideration to a first-order system with the spliced principal part. It is shown that the initial problem is correct in a certain class of functions if some conditions are fulfilled.

Obstacle Height

In this paper experimental measurements of the time-dependent velocity and density perturbations upstream of obstacles towed through linearly stratified fluid are presented. Attention is concentrated on two-dimensional obstacles which generate turbulent separated wakes at Froude numbers, based on velocity and body height, of less than 0.5. The form of the upstream columnar modes is shown to be largely that of first-order unattenuating disturbances, which have little resemblance to the perturbations described by small-obstacle-height theories. For two-dimensional obstacles the disturbances are similar to those found by Wei, Kao & Pao (1975) and it is shown that provided a suitable obstacle drag coefficient is specified, the lowest-order modes (at least) are quantitatively consistent with the results of the Oseen inviscid model.Discussion of some results of similar measurements upstream of three-dimensional obstacles, the importance of towing tank endwalls and the relevance of the Foster & Saffman (1970) theory for the limit of zero Froude number is also included.

Coarse To Fine

This paper makes some improvements on Roberts representation for straight line in space and proposes a coarse-to-fine three-dimensional (3D) Randomized Hough Transform (RHT) for the detection of dim targets. Using range, bearing and elevation information of the received echoes, 3D RHT can detect constant velocity target in space. In addition, this paper applies a coarse-to-fine strategy to the 3D RHT, which aims to solve both the computational and memory complexity problems. The validity of the coarse-to-fine 3D RHT is verified by simulations. In comparison with the 2D case, which only uses the range-bearing information, the coarse-to-fine 3D RHT has a better practical value in dim target detection.
