Spacewise coefficient identification in steady and unsteady one-dimensional diffusion problems

چکیده
In this paper the determination of the spacewise dependent material property coefficients and the function solution in both steady and unsteady diffusion problems are analysed. For a one-dimensional quasi-heterogeneous material with square-root harmonic conductivity it is shown that a single measurement of the conductivity and the flux on the boundary is sufficient to determine uniquely the unknown physical property and the function solution.

A Fourth-Order Compact Finite Difference Scheme for Solving Unsteady Convection-Diffusion Equations
Convection-diffusion equations are widely used for modeling and simulations of various complex phenomena in science and engineering (Hundsdorfer & Verwer, 2003; Morton, 1996). Since for most application problems it is impossible to solve convection-diffusion equations analytically, efficient numerical algorithms are becoming increasingly important to numerical simulations involving convection-d...
متن کاملA note on uniqueness in the identification of a spacewise dependent source and diffusion coefficient for the heat equation
We investigate uniqueness in the inverse problem of reconstructing simultaneously a spacewise conductivity function and a heat source in the parabolic heat equation from the usual conditions of the direct problem and additional information from a supplementary temperature measurement at a given single instant of time. In the multi-dimensional case, we use Carleman estimates for parabolic equati...

متن کاملEffect of Amplitude and Mean Angle of Attack on the Unsteady Surface Pressure of a Pitching Airfoil
Details of pressure distributions, on a two dimensional airfoil oscillating in pitch through stall, in a 0.8 0.8 m low-speed wind tunnel are presented. Pitching occurred about the airfoils quarter-chord axis. Pitch rate, Reynolds number, and oscillation amplitudes were varied to determine the effects on pressure and lift distributions. It was found that mean angle of attack and pitching amplitu...
متن کاملEfficient stochastic Galerkin methods for random diffusion equations
We discuss in this paper efficient solvers for stochastic diffusion equations in random media. We employ generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) expansion to express the solution in a convergent series and obtain a set of deterministic equations for the expansion coefficients by Galerkin projection. Although the resulting system of diffusion equations are coupled, we show that one can construct fast...
