Models of helically symmetric binary systems

چکیده
Results from helically symmetric scalar field models and first results from a convergent helically symmetric binary neutron star code are reported here; these are models stationary in the rotating frame of a source with constant angular velocity Ω. In the scalar field models and the neutron star code, helical symmetry leads to a system of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic character. The scalar field models involve nonlinear terms of the form ψ, (∇ψ), and ψ ψ that mimic nonlinear terms of the Einstein equation. Convergence is strikingly different for different signs of each nonlinear term; it is typically insensitive to the iterative method used; and it improves with an outer boundary in the near zone. In the neutron star code, one has no control on the sign of the source, and convergence has been achieved only for an outer boundary less than ∼ 1 wavelength from the source or for a code that imposes helical symmetry only inside a near zone of that size. The inaccuracy of helically symmetric solutions with appropriate boundary conditions should be comparable to the inaccuracy of a waveless formalism that neglects gravitational waves; and the (near zone) solutions we obtain for waveless and helically symmetric BNS codes with the same boundary conditions nearly coincide.

A Finite Element Model for Simulating Flow around a Well with Helically Symmetric Perforations
In a perforated well, fluids enter the wellbore through array of perforation tunnels. These perforations are typically distributed in a helical pattern around the wellbore. Available numerical models to simulate production flow into cased-and-perforated vertical wells have complicated boundary conditions or suffer from high computational costs. This paper presents a simple and at the same time ...

Multidomain, Sparse, Spectral-tau Method for Helically Symmetric Flow
We consider the application of a multidomain, sparse, and modal spectral-tau method to the helically reduced Navier Stokes equations describing pipe flow. This work (i) formulates the corresponding modal approximations, (ii) describes improved boundary conditions for the helically reduced equations, and (iii) constructs iterative solutions of the corresponding elliptic problem that arises in th...

The Landau-Lifschitz formulation of the Einstein equations features h̄μν among the higherderivative terms, where is the ordinary 3+1 wave operator and h̄μν may be viewed as deviation from the flat metric (the over-bar is standard notation). The post-Minkowski (PM) approximation to the Einstein equations involves a sequence 1 h̄μν , 2 h̄μν , · · · formally converging to h̄μν . Here, the first-order 1...
متن کاملApplication of the Genetic Algorithm to Calculate the Interaction Parameters for Multiphase and Multicomponent Systems
A method based on the Genetic Algorithm (GA) was developed to study the phase behavior of multicomponent and multiphase systems. Upon application of the GA to the thermodynamic models which are commonly used to study the VLE, VLLE and LLE phase equilibria, the physically meaningful values for the Binary Interaction Parameters (BIP) of the models were obtained. Using the method proposed in t...
