A ug 2 00 4 Boundary layers and emitted excitations in nonlinear Schrödinger superflow past a disk

چکیده
The stability and dynamics of nonlinear Schrödinger superflows past a twodimensional disk are investigated using a specially adapted pseudo-spectral method based on mapped Chebychev polynomials. This efficient numerical method allows the imposition of both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions at the disk border. Small coherence length boundary-layer approximations to stationary solutions are obtained analytically. Newton branch-following is used to compute the complete bifurcation diagram of stationary solutions. The dependence of the critical Mach number on the coherence length is characterized. Above the critical Mach number, at coherence length larger than fifteen times the diameter of the disk, rarefaction pulses are dynamically nucleated, replacing the vortices that are nucleated at small coherence length.

A ug 2 00 5 NONLINEAR SCHRÖDINGER EQUATION ON FOUR - DIMENSIONAL COMPACT MANIFOLDS
We prove two new results about the Cauchy problem for nonlinear Schrödinger equations on four-dimensional compact manifolds. The first one concerns global wellposedness for Hartree-type nonlinear-ities and includes approximations of cubic NLS on the sphere. The second one provides local wellposedness for quadratic nonlinearities in the case of zonal data on the sphere. Both results are based on...

We present a unified approach for obtaining global a priori estimates for solutions of nonlinear defocusing Schrödinger equations with defocusing nonlinearities. The estimates are produced by contracting the local momentum conservation law with appropriate vector fields. The corresponding law is written for defocusing equations of tensored solutions. In particular, we obtain a new estimate in t...
متن کاملBoundary Layers and Heat Transfer on a Rotating Rough Disk
The study of flow and heat transfer over rotating circular disks is of great practical importance in understanding the cooling of rotatory machinery such as turbines, electric motors and design and manufacturing of computer disk drives. This paper presents an analysis of the flow and heat transfer over a heated infinite permeable rough disk. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the elliptic Nav...

Using WKB methods for very small times, we prove some instability phenomena for semi-classical (linear or) nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The main step of the analysis consists in reducing the problem to an ordinary differential equation. The solution to this o.d.e. is explicit, and the instability mechanism is due to the presence of the semi-classical parameter. For nonlin-ear equations, our...
