In this paper,we study the time-asymptotically nonlinear stability of rarefaction waves for the Cauchy problem of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for a reacting mixture with zero heat conductivity in one dimension.If the corresponding Riemann problem for the compressible Euler system admits the solutions consisting of rarefaction waves only,it is shown that its Cauchy problem has a unique global solution which tends time-asymptotically towards the rarefaction waves,while the initial perturbation and the strength of rarefaction waves are suitably small.

Numerical manifold method for steady-state nonlinear heat conduction using Kirchhoff transformation

The numerical manifold method(NMM)introduces the mathematical and physical cover to solve both continuum and discontinuum problems in a unified manner.In this study,the NMM for solving steady-state nonlinear heat conduction problems is presented,and heat conduction problems consider both convection and radiation boundary conditions.First,the nonlinear governing equation of thermal conductivity,which is dependent on temperature,is transformed into the Laplace equation by introducing the Kirchhoff transformation.The transformation reserves linearity of both the Dirichlet and the Neumann boundary conditions,but the Robin and radiation boundary conditions remain nonlinear.Second,the NMM is employed to solve the Laplace equation using a simple iteration procedure because the nonlinearity focuses on parts of the problem domain boundaries.Finally,the temperature field is retrieved through the inverse Kirchhoff transformation.Typical examples are analyzed,demonstrating the advantages of the Kirchhoff transformation over the direct solution of nonlinear equations using the NewtonRaphson method.This study provides a new method for calculating nonlinear heat conduction.

NONLINEAR J-E CHARACTERISTICS IN THE ELECTRIC-THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM STATE FOR HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE CONDUCTIVE COMPOSITES

The nonlinear J-E characteristics under self-heating equilibrium for conductive composites based on high density polyethylene were studied. The results show that there are identical conduction mechanisms under self-heating equilibrium for the composites with various initial resistivities determined by filler content or ambient temperature. The nonlinear conduction behavior was involved in the limited microstructure transformations of the conducting network induced by electrical field applied and the corresponding self-heating effect. A reversible thermal fuse (RTF) model was suggested to interpret the physical origin of the nonlinear J-E characteristics.

Efficient Simulation of Nonlinear Heat Transfer during Thermal Spraying of Complex Workpieces

The quality of coatings, produced by thermal spraying processes, considerably decreases with the occurrence of higher residual stresses, which are especially pronounced for complex workpiece geometries. To understand the occurring effects and to aid in the planning of coating processes, simulations of the highly transient energy flux of the HVOF spray gun into the substrate are of great value. In this article, a software framework for the simulation of nonlinear heat transfer during (HVOF) thermal spraying is presented. One part of this framework employs an efficient GPU-based simulation algorithm to compute the time-dependent input boundary conditions for a spray gun that moves along a complex workpiece of arbitrary shape. The other part employs a finite-element model for a rigid heat conductor adhering to the computed boundary conditions. The model is derived from the fundamental equations of continuum thermodynamics where nonlinear temperature-depending heat conduction is assumed.

EQ^(rot)_1 Nonconforming Finite Element Method for Nonlinear Dual Phase Lagging Heat Conduction Equations

EQrot nonconforming finite element approximation to a class of nonlinear dual phase lagging heat conduction equations is discussed for semi-discrete and fully-discrete schemes. By use of a special property, that is, the consistency error of this element is of order O（h2） one order higher than its interpolation error O（h）, the superclose results of order O（h2） in broken Hi-norm are obtained. At the same time, the global superconvergence in broken Hi-norm is deduced by interpolation postprocessing technique. Moreover, the extrapolation result with order O（h4） is derived by constructing a new interpolation postprocessing operator and extrapolation scheme based on the known asymptotic expansion formulas of EQrot element. Finally, optimal error estimate is gained for a proposed fully-discrete scheme by different approaches from the previous literature.

NUMERICAL METHOD OF MIXED FINITE VOLUME-MODIFIED UPWIND FRACTIONAL STEP DIFFERENCE FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE TRANSIENT BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS

Transient behavior of three-dimensional semiconductor device with heat conduc- tion is described by a coupled mathematical system of four quasi-linear partial differential equations with initial-boundary value conditions. The electric potential is defined by an ellip- tic equation and it appears in the following three equations via the electric field intensity. The electron concentration and the hole concentration are determined by convection-dominated diffusion equations and the temperature is interpreted by a heat conduction equation. A mixed finite volume element approximation, keeping physical conservation law, is used to get numerical values of the electric potential and the accuracy is improved one order. Two con- centrations and the heat conduction are computed by a fractional step method combined with second-order upwind differences. This method can overcome numerical oscillation, dispersion and decreases computational complexity. Then a three-dimensional problem is solved by computing three successive one-dimensional problems where the method of speedup is used and the computational work is greatly shortened. An optimal second-order error estimate in L2 norm is derived by using prior estimate theory and other special techniques of partial differential equations. This type of mass-conservative parallel method is important and is most valuable in numerical analysis and application of semiconductor device.

A mixed Newton-Tikhonov method for nonlinear ill-posed problems

Newton type methods are one kind of the efficient methods to solve nonlinear ill-posed problems, which have attracted extensive attention. However, computational cost of Newton type methods is high because practical problems are complicated. We propose a mixed Newton-Tikhonov method, i.e., one step Newton-Tikhonov method with several other steps of simplified Newton-Tikhonov method. Convergence and stability of this method are proved under some conditions. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method has obvious advantages over the classical Newton method in terms of computational costs.

The nonlinear response of Cattaneo-type thermal loading of a laser pulse on a medium using the generalized thermoelastic model

The nonlinear thermoelastic responses of an elastic medium exposed to laser generated shortpulse heating are investigated in this article. The thermal wave propagation of generalized thermoelastic medium under the impact of thermal loading with energy dissipation is the focus of this research. To model the thermal boundary condition(in the form of thermal conduction),generalized Cattaneo model(GCM) is employed. In the reference configuration, a nonlinear coupled Lord-Shulman-type generalized thermoelasticity formulation using finite strain theory(FST) is developed and the temperature dependency of the thermal conductivity is considered to derive the equations. In order to solve the time-dependent and nonlinear equations, Newmark’s numerical time integration technique and an updated finite element algorithm is applied and to ensure achieving accurate continuity of the results, the Hermitian elements are used instead of Lagrangian’s. The numerical responses for different factors such as input heat flux and nonlinear terms are expressed graphically and their impacts on the system’s reaction are discussed in detail.The results of the study are presented for Green–Lindsay model and the findings are compared with Lord-Shulman model especially with regards to heat wave propagation. It is shown that the nature of the laser’s thermal shock and its geometry are particularly determinative in the final stage of deformation. The research also concluded that employing FST leads to achieving more accuracy in terms of elastic deformations;however, the thermally nonlinear analysis does not change the results markedly. For this reason, the nonlinear theory of deformation is required in laser related reviews, while it is reasonable to ignore the temperature changes compared to the reference temperature in deriving governing equations.

Heat transfer characteristics of thin power-law liquid films over horizontal stretching sheet with internal heating and variable thermal coefficient

The effect of internal heating source on the film momentum and thermal transport characteristic of thin finite power-law liquids over an accelerating unsteady horizontal stretched interface is studied. Unlike most classical works in this field, a general surface temperature distribution of the liquid film and the generalized Fourier＇s law for varying thermal conductivity are taken into consideration. Appropriate similarity transformations are used to convert the strongly nonlinear governing partial differential equations （PDEs） into a boundary value problem with a group of two-point ordinary differential equations （ODEs）. The correspondence between the liquid film thickness and the unsteadiness parameter is derived with the BVP4C program in MATLAB. Numerical solutions to the self-similarity ODEs are obtained using the shooting technique combined with a Runge-Kutta iteration program and Newton＇s scheme. The effects of the involved physical parameters on the fluid＇s horizontal velocity and temperature distribution are presented and discussed.
