2-D and axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations are solved using Reiman-Roe solver with different limiters for second-order accurate schemes. The results were obtained for supersonic viscous flows over semi-infinite axisymmetric and 2-D bodies. The free stream Mach numbers were 7.78 and 16.34. The stability of Roe method with different limiters and entropy conditions were considered. The results s...

We find the existence conditions of unduloidal and nodoidal menisci between two solid spheres and study their stability in the framework of nonspectral theory of stability of axisymmetric menisci between two axisymmetric solid bodies in the absence of gravity.

Static axisymmetric Einstein–Maxwell–Dilaton and stationary axisymmetric Einstein–Maxwell–Dilaton–Axion theories in four space–time dimensions are shown to be integrable by means of the inverse scattering transform method. PASC number(s): 97.60.Lf, 04.60.+n, 11.17.+y

We study the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations in the entire three-dimensional space under the assumption that the data are axisymmetric. We extend the regularity criterion for axisymmetric weak solutions given in [10].

Several experiments involving two-dimensional and axisymmetric bodies have been carried out in a Trisonic wind tunnel at supersonic speeds to investigate and analyse the measured values of base pressure and to compare them with those from the theoretical methods. The objective of the experiments was to obtain an appropriate method for processing the results of wind tunnel tests on rockets or ai...

A systematic way to derive the conserved quantities for the axisymmetric liquid jet, free jet and wall jet using conservation laws is presented. The flow in axisymmetric jets is governed by Prandtl’s momentum boundary layer equation and the continuity equation. The multiplier approach is used to construct a basis of conserved vectors for the system of two partial differential equations for the ...

A series of numerical simulations of the dynamo process operating inside gas giant planets has been performed. We use an anelastic, fully nonlinear, three-dimensional, benchmarked MHD code to evolve the flow, entropy and magnetic field. Our models take into account the varying electrical conductivity, high in the ionised metallic hydrogen region, low in the molecular outer region. Our suite of ...

Elastic spherical shells loaded under uniform pressure are subject to equal and opposite compressive probing forces at their poles to trigger and explore buckling. When the shells support external pressure, buckling is usually axisymmetric; the maximum probing force and the energy barrier the probe must overcome are determined. Applications of the probing forces under two different loading cond...

We investigate some simple finite element discretizations for the axisymmetric Laplace equation and the azimuthal component of the axisymmetric Maxwell equations as well as multigrid algorithms for these discretizations. Our analysis is targeted at simple model problems and our main result is that the standard V-cycle with point smoothing converges at a rate independent of the number of unknown...

We examine nonlinear oscillations of slender tori in the vicinity of black holes and compact stars. These tori represent useful probes of the complicated, nonlinear dynamics of real accretion disks and provide at least qualitative understanding of their oscillations. We demonstrate that epicyclic modes of such tori are weakly coupled due to the pressure and gravitational forces. We explore all ...
