Approximate Analytical Solution for the Forced Korteweg-de Vries Equation

Abstract: The forced Korteweg-de Vries (fKdV) equations are solved using Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). HAM is an approximate analytical technique which provides a novel way to obtain series solutions of such nonlinear problems. It has the auxiliary parameter , where it is easy to adjust and control the convergence region of the series solution. Some examples of forcing terms are employed to analyse the behaviours of the HAM solutions for the different fKdV equations. Finally, this form of HAM solution is compared with the analytical soliton-type solution of fKdV equation as derived by Zhao and Guo. The results is found to be in good agreement with Zhao and Guo.

Spatial and temporal variability of Mehlich-1 extractable Fe, Mn and Zn over a rice field as a function of lime amendment

Abstract: This study compares the effect of lime additions on the spatial variability of Fe, Mn and Zn extracted by Mehlich-1 during three different growth stages from an acid paddy soil, a Typic Plintacualf, in Corrientes, Argentina. Field trials were set up involving three treatments: control, without lime addition, plus two different dolomite doses of 625 and 1250 kg ha−1. Soil was sampled first before sowing in aerobic conditions and then two more times in anaerobic conditions, i.e. by bunch formation and flowering. Ninety-six samples per plot were taken per lime treatment and sampling period, using a nested sampling strategy. Liming significantly increased extractable Fe and Mn, but decreased extractable Zn. The spatial variability of the studied soil properties was assessed using semivariogram analysis and examination of kriging maps. Models were fitted to experimental semivariograms for 27 data sets, i.e. three different soil properties, each of them sampled in three treatments and during three dates. Soil extractable and Fe, Mn and Zn exhibited a rather strong spatial dependence, as nugget variance was either null or a small proportion of the total variance, and this all over the three different study periods and for the three lime treatments. Geostatistical analysis provided insight into possible processes responsible of the observed spatial variability patterns within the rice soil. Kriging was useful in mapping soil micronutrient variability allowing identifying microrregions with high or low Fe, Mn and Zn concentrations, which showed the presence of small scale variability. These findings indicate the potential for applying the principles of precision agriculture to control spatiotemporal variability in rice fields.

Simulation of the rate of turbulent homogeneous combustion using the “quasi-laminar” approach

Abstract: The possibility is considered of using a bulk (“quasi-laminar”) model of combustion for describing the rate of propagation of flame front in a turbulent flow of homogeneous fuel-oxidizer mixture. It is demonstrated that the analytical relation for the rate of propagation of flame front, obtained using a bulk model of combustion, agrees well with the available experimental data. Bulk and front models of combustion, as well as an original reduced model of kinetics of methane-air mixture, are used for calculating a V-flame. Two-dimensional calculations of an axisymmetric low-emission combustion chamber are performed using the bulk model of combustion and two reduced kinetic schemes. Comparison is made of calculation and experimental data.

Barley or black oat silages in feeding strategies for small-scale dairy systems in the highlands of Mexico

Abstract: High costs from external inputs in small-scale dairy systems (SSDS) and possible effects of climate change, require forage alternatives as silage for the dry season, from small-grain cereals that h...

Investigation of the generation of sound waves produced by turbulent jets

Abstract: Free turbulent jets produce disturbances in the ambient medium which at a certain distance from the jet are perceived as sound waves. These disturbances are due to unsteady fluctuating motion of the medium in the jet flow (intermittance). The origin of the acoustic disturbances can be attributed to turbulence intermittance. Due to lowered pressure in the movable dynamic inhomogeneities of the turbulent fluid, they induce air ejection by the jet, which turns out to be fluctuating in nature, since the turbulent fluid flow is unsteady. The proposed mechanism of the generation of acoustic disturbances accompanying turbulent jet propagation is verified in numerical and experimental studies; in particular, the formation of acoustic fluctuations in the half-space over a surface which contains an embedded fluctuating finite-size sink is considered on the basis of the numerical solution of the unsteady Reynolds equations. From the results of the numerical experiment performed using large eddy simulation the fluctuating characteristics of the flow in a swirling jet and the direction of the disturbance energy flux in the ambient medium are determined. An experimental investigation of the disturbances produced by a strongly swirling jet is also carried out.
