چکیده

Let A ⊂ R, d ≥ 2, be a compact convex set and let μ = ̺0 dx be a probability measure on A equivalent to the restriction of Lebesgue measure. Let ν = ̺1 dx be a probability measure on Br := {x : |x| ≤ r} equivalent to the restriction of Lebesgue measure. We prove that there exists a mapping T such that ν = μ◦T−1 and T = φ ·n, where φ : A → [0, r] is a continuous potential with convex sub-level sets and n is the Gauss map of the corresponding level sets of φ. Moreover, T is invertible and essentially unique. Our proof employs the optimal transportation techniques. We show that in the case of smooth φ the level sets of φ are governed by the Gauss curvature flow ẋ(s) = −sd−1 ̺1(sn) ̺0(x) K(x) · n(x), where K is the Gauss curvature. As a by-product one can reprove the existence of weak solutions to the classical Gauss curvature flow starting from a convex hypersurface.

Sediment Transport in Unsteady Flow Conditions

Sediment transport under unsteady flow condition is studied experimentally. In the first step, sediment transport under different steady flow conditions was measured and an empirical equation was derived for its calculation. In the next step, two continuous and three stepwise hydrographs were generated in the flume, and their sediment transport rate was measured. The continuous hydrographs were...

Assessment of various rotor tip geometries on a single stage gas turbine performance

Tip leakage loss introduces major part of losses of the rotor in axial gas turbines. Therefore, the rotor blade tip has a considerable effect on rotor efficiency. To understand the flow physics of the rotor tip leakage, we solve the flow field for different tip platforms (passive flow control) and by considering coolant tip injection (active flow control). Various blade tip configurations s...

Weak Regularity of Gauss Mass Transport

Given two probability measures μ and ν we consider a mass transportation mapping T satisfying 1) T sends μ to ν, 2) T has the form T = φ ∇φ |∇φ| , where φ is a function with convex sublevel sets. We prove a change of variables formula for T . We also establish some a priori estimates for T , and a new form of the parabolic maximum principle. In addition, we discuss relations to the Monge–Kantor...

Sequential Implicit Numerical Scheme for Pollutant and Heat Transport in a Plane-Poiseuille Flow

A sequential implicit numerical scheme is proposed for a system of partial differential equations defining the transport of heat and mass in the channel flow of a variable-viscosity fluid. By adopting the backward difference scheme for time derivative and the central difference scheme for the spatial derivatives, an implicit finite difference scheme is formulated. The variable-coefficient diffu...

A Mathematical Model for Indian Ocean Circulation in Spherical Coordinate

In recent years, the Indian Ocean (IO) has been discovered to have a much larger impact on climate variability than previously thought. This paper reviews processes in which the IO is, or appears to be, actively involved. We begin the mathematical model with a pattern for summer monsoon winds. Three dimensional temperature and velocity fields are calculated analytically for the ocean forced by ...
