The Lithium Tokamak eXperiment is a spherical tokamak with a close-fitting low-recycling wall composed of thin lithium layers evaporated onto a stainless steel-lined copper shell. Long-lived non-axisymmetric eddy currents are induced in the shell and vacuum vessel by transient plasma and coil currents and these eddy currents influence both the plasma and the magnetic diagnostic signals that are...

An axisymmetric stationary problem of thermoelasticity for a multilayer foundation with imperfect thermal contact between the layers is solved by method compliance functions along Hankel transform. The recurrence relations are constructed auxiliary and neighboring foundation. We analyze influence coefficient resistance on distribution normal tangential stresses temperature at points bottom boun...

Assuming arbitrary boundary and initial conditions, a transient thermo-elastic analysis of a rotating thick cylindrical pressure vessel made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to axisymmetric mechanical and transient thermal loads is presented. Time-dependent thermal and mechanical boundary conditions are assumed to act on the boundaries of the vessel. Material properties of the ve...

We carry out numerical and mathematical investigations of shear Alfvén waves inside of a spherical shell filled with an incompressible conducting fluid, and bathed in a strong dipolar magnetic field. We focus on axisymmetric toroidal and non-axisymmetric modes, in continuation of a previous work by Rincon & Rieutord (2003, A&A, 398, 663). Analytical expressions are obtained for toroidal eigenmo...

Abstract. Climate is usually considered to depend on a large number of parameters, this being essentially a functional in multi-dimensional parameter space. We propose a low-dimensional model of a climate where the temperature field on a thermally conducting planet depends on the external energy input and very limited number of internal parameters, like thermal conductivity and reflectivity. Eq...

In this study, two-dimensional electro-mechanical analysis of a composite rotating shaft subjected to non-axisymmetric internal pressure and applied voltage is investigated where hollow piezoelectric shaft reinforced by boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). Composite structure is modeled based on piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PFRC) theory and a representative volume element has been cons...

the purpose of this research is to numerically investigate the interaction of pulsatile flow of blood with an axisymmetric artery in various percentages of stenosis. the carreau non-newtonian model and the generalized maxwell rheological model were used to model the blood fluid and the viscoelastic wall of arterial, respectively. the innovation of the present research is modeling of viscoelasti...

The properties of an axisymmetric, stationary gas cloud surrounding a massive central object are discussed. It is assumed that the gravitational field dominated by which modeled nonrelativistic rotationally-symmetric potential. Further, we assume consists collisionless, identical particles follow bound orbits in this Several models for one-particle distribution function considered and essential...
