Contact process in a wedge
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that the supercritical one-dimensional contact process survives in certain wedge-like space-time regions, and that when it survives it couples with the unrestricted contact process started from its upper invariant measure. As an application we show that a type of weak coexistence is possible in the nearest-neighbor “grass-bushes-trees” successional model introduced in [5].

Sealing Performance of the End Fitting of a Marine Unbonded Flexible Pipe under Pressure Penetration
The sealing performance of end fittings is very important for offshore oil and gas pipelines. To investigate the sealing behavior of a ring-shaped wedge seal, global and local numerical models of the ring–pipe interaction have been developed based on the finite-element method. First, the sealing process of the ring under pressure is simulated. Second, a criterion for the penetration of fluid pr...
متن کاملGeometric Optimization in Presence of Contact Singularities
The stress singularity of a sharp wedge contacting a frictionless half plane can be avoided by changing the wedge shape. Shape optimization is accomplished with the geometric strain method (GSM), an optimality criterion method. Several numerical examples are provided for different materials in the wedge and half plane to avoid stress singularity near the sharp corner of the wedge. Optimum wedge...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of wave breakings around a wedge- shaped bow
Flows around a wedge-shaped bow are simulated with the aim of investigating the wave breaking mechanism and small scale features of ship bow waves. The wedge geometry used in the experimental study of Waniewski et al. (2002) is chosen with the flow conditions at Re = 1.64×10 5 and Fr = 2.93. The bow wave structure, wave breaking process and air entrainment are studied. The predicted overall bow...
متن کاملLaboratory investigation of water extraction effects on saltwater wedge displacement
There is a close connection between saltwater intrusion into aquifers and groundwater extraction. Freshwater extraction in coastal aquifers is one of the most important reasons for the saltwater intrusion into these aquifers. Condition of extraction system such as well depth, discharge rate, saltwater concentration and etc. could affect this process widely. Thus, investigating different extract...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of Depth Dose by Exit Surface Diode Dosimeters for Off-Axis Wedged Fields in Radiation Therapy
Introduction Evaluation of the delivered dose of externally wedged photon beams by external diode dosimeters during the treatment process requires the estimation of exit surface dose correction factors in various wedge angles and field sizes. Materials and Methods A system of absorbed dose evaluation, using p-type diode dosimeters placed on the exit surface of a phantom, was characterized for e...
