On a differential model for growing sandpiles with non-regular sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a variational model that describes the growth of a sandpile on a bounded table under the action of a vertical source. The possible equilibria of such a model solve a boundary value problem for a system of nonlinear partial differential equations that we analyse when the source term is merely integrable. In addition, we study the asymptotic behavior of the dynamical problem showing that the solution converges asymptotically to an equilibrium that we characterise explicitly.

An existence result for the sandpile problem on flat tables with walls
We derive an existence result for solutions of a differential system which characterizes the equilibria of a particular model in granular matter theory, the so-called partially open table problem for growing sandpiles. Such result generalizes a recent theorem of [6] established for the totally open table problem. Here, due to the presence of walls at the boundary, the surface flow density at th...
متن کاملA Numerical Study for Growing Sandpiles on Flat Tables with Walls
We continue our study on the approximation of a system of partial differential equations recently proposed by Hadeler and Kuttler to model the dynamics of growing sandpiles on a flat bounded table. The novelty here is the introduction of (infinite) walls on the boundary of the domain and the corresponding modification of boundary conditions for the standing and for the rolling layers. An explic...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Analysis of Upright Perforated Wave Absorbers
On the basis of the continuity equation and the Bernoulli equation in the steady form, a differential equation is developed to evaluate the successive water levels within compartments of an upright perforated wave absorber. Then the initial and boundary conditions are introduced and the differential equation is solved as an initial value problem. Finally the reflection coefficient from the wave...
متن کاملPattern Formation in Growing Sandpiles
The topic of Pattern Formation in Growing Sandpiles was first looked at in the 1980’s through a model of sand being added to a two dimensional system at a constant rate.[1] How this sand creates patterns of inactivity and unpredictability is an interesting natural phenomena. The Abelian Sandpile model is one model created to model these patterns, showing that the ending stable state of the mode...
متن کاملA confirmatory study of Differential Item Functioning on EFL reading comprehension
The present study aimed at investigating DIF sources on an EFL reading comprehension test. Accordingly, 2 DIF detection methods, logistic regression (LR) and item response theory (IRT), were used to flag emergent DIF of 203 (110 females & 93 males) Iranian EFL examinees’ performance on a reading comprehension test. Seven hypothetical DIF sources were examin...
