Based on Onsager’s regressive hypothesis and a local equilibrium in hydrodynamics, the time symmetry of the mutual correlation functions of fluctuations is analyzed directly from the macroscopic equations of motion for the open steady state of a continuous medium. It is shown that, in OHSS, the flux violates the symmetry of correlation functions and Onsager’s reciprocal relation, which take place near the equilibrium steady state. The reciprocal relations for OHSS are found. Examples of their use are considered.

Plural Subjects

According to traditional wisdom, reciprocal predicates can only occur with plural subjects. This is assumed either because the reciprocal predicates in question are constructed by means of a reciprocal anaphor, which is considered as being inherently plural and hence requiring a plural antecedent, or, if there is no binding requirement, the following principle of argument mapping is implicitly assumed: all participants of a reciprocal situation need an overt realization by the same highest syntactic argument. Since a reciprocal relation minimally involves the existence of two participants, and since (in the languages considered so far) the highest syntactic argument is the subject, this mapping principle leads to the idea that the subjects of reciprocal predicates should be confined to plural or conjoined phrases. In this paper, I will show that this principle turns out to be unrealistically strong, once real discourse data are considered, in particular from a cross-linguistic perspective. Under certain structural and pragmatic conditions, participants of reciprocal relations may be backgrounded and also suppressed, with the result that, in the second case, they will lack an overt realization altogether. It will be argued that there is a typological correlation between the following three phenomena: discontinuous reciprocals (where one participant is backgrounded and hence realized as an oblique phrase), “true” singular subject reciprocals (where only one participant is realized overtly, while the other is suppressed), and plural subject reciprocals, admitting the interpretation that each individual among the subject’s referents participates in a reciprocal relation with some other (unknown or arbitrary) individual that is, however, suppressed, i.e. not referred to by the subject phrase or any other phrase in the sentence. I will present data from four languages: Hungarian, German, (Modern) Greek and Serbian/Croatian. In general, a cross-linguistic approach will be favored which considers differences and similarities at all relevant levels of description, e.g. discourse pragmatics, verbal aspect, lexical-semantic fields, interfering effects of ambiguity, etc. in addition to structural constraints in marking reciprocity.

Liquid Surfaces

Helmholtz was the first to remark on the instability of those “liquid surfaces” which separate portions of fluid moving with different velocities, and Kelvin, in investigating the influence of wind on waves in water, supposed frictionless, has discussed the conditions under which a plane surface of water becomes unstable. Adopting Kelvin’s method, Rayleigh investigated the instability of a surface of discontinuity. A clear and easily accessible rendering of the discussion is given by Lamb. The above investigations are conducted upon the well-known principle of “small oscillations”—there is a basic steady motion, upon which is superposed a flow, the squares of whose components of velocity can be neglected. This method has the advantage of making the equations of motion linear. If by this method the flow is found to be stable, the equations of motion give the subsequent history of the system, for the small oscillations about the steady state always remain “small.” If, however, the method indicates that the system is unstable, that is, if the deviations from the steady state increase exponentially with the time, the assumption of small motions cannot, after an appropriate interval of time, be applied to the case under consideration, and the equations of motion, in their approximate form, no longer give a picture of the flow. For this reason, which is well known, the investigations of Rayleigh only prove the existence of instability during the initial stages of the motion. It is the object of this note to investigate the form assumed by the surface of discontinuity when the displacements and velocities are no longer small.

Abstract This paper is designed to be a practical tool for constructing and investigating two-point correlation functions in defect conformal field theory, directly in physical space, between any two bulk primaries or between a bulk primary and a defect primary, with arbitrary spin. Although geometrically elegant and ultimately a more powerful approach, the embedding space formalism gets rather cumbersome when dealing with mixed symmetry tensors, especially in the projection to physical space. The results in this paper provide an alternative method for studying two-point correlation functions for a generic d-dimensional conformal field theory with a flat p-dimensional defect and d − p = q co-dimensions. We tabulate some examples of correlation functions involving a conserved current, an energy momentum tensor and a Maxwell field strength, while analysing the constraints arising from conservation and the equations of motion. A method for obtaining bulk-to-defect correlators is also explained. Some explicit examples are considered: free scalar theory on ℝp× (ℝq/ℤ2) and a free four dimensional Maxwell theory on a wedge.

Abstract Adjoint and direct differentiation methods are used to formulate design sensitivities for the steady-state response of damped linear elastodynamic systems that are subject to periodic loads. Variations of a general response functional are expressed in explicit form with respect to design field perturbations. Modal analysis techniques which uncouple the equations of motion are used to perform the analyses. In this way, it is possible to obtain closed form relations for the sensitivity expressions. This eliminates the need to evaluate the adjoint response and psuedo response (these responses are associated with the adjoint and direct differentiation sensitivity problems) over the time domain. The sensitivities need not be numerically integrated over time, thus they are quickly computed. The methodology is valid for problems with proportional as well as non-proportional damping. In an example problem, sensitivities of steady-state vibration amplitude of a crankshaft subject to engine firing loads are evaluated with respect to the stiffness, inertial, and damping parameters which define the shaft. Both the adjoint and direct differentiation methods are used to compute the sensitivities. Finite difference sensitivity approximations are also calculated to validate the explicit sensitivity results.

In order to accurately predict the fatigue life and wear life of a belt, the various stresses that the belt is subjected to and the belt slip over the pulleys must be accurately calculated. In this paper, the effect of material and geometric parameters on the steady-state stresses (including normal, tangential and axial stresses), average belt slip for a flat belt, and belt-drive energy efficiency is studied using a high-fidelity flexible multibody dynamics model of the belt-drive. The belt’s rubber matrix is modeled using three-dimensional brick elements and the belt’s reinforcements are modeled using one dimensional truss elements. Friction between the belt and the pulleys is modeled using an asperity-based Coulomb friction model. The pulleys are modeled as cylindrical rigid bodies. The equations of motion are integrated using a time-accurate explicit solution procedure. The material parameters studied are the belt-pulley friction coefficient and the belt axial stiffness and damping. The geometric parameters studied are the belt thickness and the pulleys’ centers distance.

Dynamic response related to fatigue prediction of an urban bus is investigated. First, a quite complete model subjected to road excitation is employed in order to extract sufficiently reliable and accurate information in a fast way. The bus model is set up by applying the finite element method, resulting to an excessive number of degrees of freedom. In addition, the bus suspension units involve nonlinear characterstics. A step towards alleviating this difficulty is the application of an appropriate coordinate transformation, causing a drastic reduction in the dimension of the final set of the equations of motion. This allows the application of a systematic numerical methodology leading to direct determination of periodic steady state response of nonlinear models subjected to periodic excitation. Next, typical results were obtained for excitation resulting from selected urban road profiles. These profiles have either a known form or known statistical properties, expressed by an appropriate spatial power spectral density function. In all cases examined, the emphasis was put on investigating ride response. The main attention was focused on identifying areas of the bus suspension and frame subsystems where high stress levels are developed. This information is based on the idea of a nonlinear transfer function and provides the basis for applying suitable criteria in order to perform analyses leading to prediction of fatigue failure.

AbstractThe machinery of Lie theory (groups and algebras) is applied to the unsteady equations of motion of rotating fluid. A special-function type solution for the steady state is derived. It is then shown how the solution generates an infinite number of time-dependent solutions via three arbitrary functions of time. This algebraic structure also provides the mechanism to search for other solutions since its character is inferred from the basic equations.

Fluid mechanics has emerged as a basic concept for nearly every field of technology. Despite there being a well-developed mathematical theory and available commercial software codes, the computation of solutions of the governing equations of motion is still challenging, especially due to the nonlinearity involved, and there are still open questions regarding the underlying physics of fluid flow, especially with respect to the continuum hypothesis and thermodynamic local equilibrium. The aim of this Special Issue is to reference recent advances in the field of fluid mechanics both in terms of developing sophisticated mathematical methods for finding solutions of the equations of motion, on the one hand, and on novel approaches to the physical modelling beyond the continuum hypothesis and thermodynamic local equilibrium, on the other.
