A model of flow passing through the glottis is presented by employing the boundary-layer assumption. A thin boundary layer near the glottal wall influences the flow behavior in terms of the flow separation, jet formation, and pressure distribution along the channel. The integral momentum relation has been developed to analyze the boundary layer accurately, and it can be solved numerically for t...

In this article we consider the Primitive Equations without horizontal viscosity but with a mild vertical viscosity added in the hydrostatic equation, as in [13] and [16], which are the so-called δ−Primitive Equations. We prove that the problem is well posed in the sense of Hadamard in certain types of spaces. This means that we prove the finite-in-time existence, uniqueness and continuous depe...

the trajectory planning, which is known as a movement from starting to end point by satisfying the constraints along the path is an essential part of robot motion planning. a common way to create trajectories is to deal with polynomials which have independent coefficients. this paper presents a trajectory formulation as well as a procedure to arrange the suitable trajectories for applications. ...

L denotes the classical curve length, s is the arc-length parameter, and Γ : [0, L]→ Ω is a curve with non-vanishing velocity vector. κ is the curvature and α , β are two positively weighted functions computed by the optimally oriented flux filter [2]. Our first step is to cast the elastica energy (5) in the form of path length with respect to a degenerate Finsler metric. For that purpose, let ...

In this paper we consider the three–dimensional Navier–Stokes equations subject to periodic boundary conditions or in the whole space. We provide sufficient conditions, in terms of one direction derivative of the velocity field, namely, uz , for the regularity of strong solutions to the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations.

The improved Boussinesq equation is studied in this paper. Control properties for this equation posed on a bounded interval are first considered. When the control acts through the Dirichlet boundary condition the linearized system is proved to be approximately but not spectrally controllable. In a second part, the equation is posed on the one-dimensional torus and distributed moving controls ar...

We study a discrete spatial model for invasive allele spread in which two alleles compete preemptively, initially only the " residents " (weaker competitors) being present. We find that the spread of the advantageous mutation is well described by homogeneous nucleation; in particular, in large systems the time-dependent global density of the resident allele is well approximated by Avrami's law....

We study convergence to equilibrium for certain spatially inhomogenous kinetic equations, such as discrete velocity models or a linearization of a kinetic model for cometary flow. For such equations, the convergence to a unique equilibrium state is the result of, firstly, the dissipative effects of the collision operator, which morphs the solution towards an entropy minimizing local equilibrium...
