In this paper, we study the temporal decay of global weak solutions to the inhomogeneous Hall-magnetohydrodynamic (Hall-MHD) equations. First, an approximation problem and its weak solutions are obtained via the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg retarded mollification technique. Then, we prove that the approximate solutions satisfy uniform decay estimates. Finally, using the weak convergence method, we construct weak solutions with optimal decay rates to the inhomogeneous Hall-MHD equations.

Liquid film thickness in laminar film condensation for flow over a flat plate generally is so thin that both fluid acceleration and thermal convection within the liquid film can be neglected. An integral solution method is proposed to solve the conjugate problems of laminar film condensation and heat conduction in a solid wall. It is found that approximate solutions of the governing equations involve four physical parameters to describe the conjugate heat transfer problem for laminar film condensation. It is shown that the effects of interfacial shear. mass transfer and local heat transfer are strongly dependent on the thermo-physical properties of the working fluids and the Jacob number.

In this research, an approximate analytical solution has been presented for nonlinear problems of vibratory systems in mechanical engineering. The new method is called Variational Approach (VA) which is applied in two different high nonlinear cases. It has been shown that the presented approach leads us to an accurate approximate analytical solution. The results of variational approach are compared with numerical solutions. The full procedure of the numerical solution is also presented. The results are shown that the variatioanl approach can be an efficient and practical mathematical tool in field of nonlinear vibration.

An inverse method is introduced to construct the problem for the error analysis of the numerical solution of initial value problem. These problems constructed through this method have a known exact solution, even though analytical solutions are generally not obtainable. The process leading to the exact solution makes use of an initially available approximate numerical solution. A smooth interpolation of the approximate solution is forced to exactly satisfy the differential equation by analytically deriving a small forcing function to absorb all of the errors in the interpolated approximate solution. Using this special case exact solution, it is possible to investigate the relationship between global errors of a candidate numerical solution process and the associated tuning parameters for a given problem. Under the assumption that the original differential equation is well-posed with respect to the small perturbations, we thereby obtain valuable information about the optimal choice of the tuning parameters and the achievable accuracy of the numerical solution.

A cluster made of $N_A,\;N_B\;and\;N_C$ atoms in the x, y and z directions respectively, is treated with Huckel method. We obtain the approximate expressions for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of f.c.c., b.c.c. and h.c.p. clusters in closed forms. The maximum and minimum values of the band so obtained converge to those derived from the Bloch sum in the limit of infinite extension. For a small cluster (of $9{\times}9{\times}5$ atoms, for instance), LDOS from the analytical (approximate) solution manifests better agreement at the surface, than inside the bulk.

An approximate nonlinear theory of the Oregonator model is obtained with the aid of an ordinary perturbation method when the system is perturbed by some kinds of external input. The effects of internal and external parameters on the oscillations are discussed in detail by taking specific values of the parameters. A simple approximate solution for the Oregonator model under the influence of a constant input is obtained and the result is compared with the numerical result. For other types of external inputs the approximate solutions up to the fourth order expansion are compared with the numerical results. For a periodic input, we found that the entrainment depends crucially on the difference between the internal and external frequencies near the bifurcation point.

The shape of plate-fin type heat sink is numerically optimized to acquire the minimum pressure drop under the required temperature rise. In constrained nonlinear optimization problems of thermal/fluid systems, three fundamental difficulties such as high computational cost for function evaluations (i.e., pressure drop and thermal resistance), the absence of design sensitivity information, and the occurrence of numerical noise are commonly confronted. Thus, a sequential approximate optimization (SAO) algorithm has been introduced because it is very hard to obtain the optimal solutions of fluid/thermal systems by means of gradient-based optimization techniques. In this study, the progressive quadratic response surface method (PQRSM) based on the trust region algorithm, which is one of sequential approximate optimization algorithms, is used for optimization and the heat sink is optimized by combining it with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

This paper presents approximate in-depth residual stress and plastic strain profiles for laser-peened alloy 600 surface via FE analysis. In approximations, effects of the initial welding residual stress and the number of shots are quantified. Based on FE analysis results, residual stress profiles are quantified by two variables; the maximum difference in stress before and after LSP, and the depth up to which the compressive residual stress exists. Plastic strain profiles are quantified by one variable, the maximum equivalent plastic strain at the surface. The proposed profiles are validated by comparing with published LSP experimental results for welded plates. Effects of the initial welding residual stress and the number of shots on these variables are discussed. The proposed profile can be directly applied to predict the mitigation effect of LSP on PWSCC and to efficiently perform structural integrity assessment of laser peened nuclear components.

In this paper, we propose a numerical method to solve fuzzy differential equations. Numerical experiments show that when the step size is small, the new method has significantly good approximate solutions of fuzzy differential equation. Graphical representation of fuzzy solutions in three-dimension is also provided as a reference of visual convergence of the solution sequence.
