Bromwich

The inversion of the Laplace transform presents a more difficult problem. From a fundamental point of view the inverse of a given Laplace transform is known as the Bromwich integral. Its evaluation is carried out by application...

Progress has been recently made in constructing an iterative inverse Laplace transform method which is not exponentially sensitive to noise. This Short Time Inverse Laplace Transform (STILT) method is based on rewriting the Bromwich inversion formula as ...

Further, in 1904 Whittaker [56] (see also Section V.C.2) showed that any electromagnetic field, wave, etc. can be replaced by two scalar potential functions, thus initiating that branch of electrodynamics called superpotential theory [58]. Whittaker s two scalar potentials were then extended by electrodynamicists such as Bromwich [59], Debye [60], Nisbet [61], and McCrea [62] and shown to be part of vector superpotentials [58], and hence connected with A.

Since the integral is true along the Bromwich contours and is equal to zero, hence a non-trivial and unique solution would require the following relation to hold,... 

In the sketch above, a horizontal hatched strip is defined by 72 <0 < 71. Any contour chosen within this strip of convergence is called the Bromwich contour. On the right hand side integral of Eqn. (2.6.5), if we restrict the lower limit to x = 0, then we would retrieve the unilateral Laplace transform given by.

Once we identify the strip of convergence, we can write down the inversion formula by integrating along a Bromwich contour (here taken as a Oj = const, line for convenience) in the complex a-plane by,... 

We construct a closed contour C which is the Bromwich contour plus the semi-circular part as indicated in the figure, with a small indented contour...

However, one need not perform contour integrals to obtain f x). For example, if we perform the integral of (2.6.10) directly along the Bromwich... 

It is interesting to note that the response of a system to a harmonic input is itself harmonic at the same frequency under the twin conditions of linearity and time invariance of the system properties for stable systems. For instability and receptivity problems, there is no general proof of the same due to the nonlinear nature of the dispersion relation, despite the fact that one is studying linearized Navier- Stokes equation. Thus it can at best be an assumption that is adopted in many analyses of this problem, except in Sengupta et al. (1994, 2006, 2006a) where the full time-dependent problem is solved as a transient problem by considering Bromwich contours in a— and u>- planes simultaneously. 

The description of the local solution and other details of selecting the Bromwich contours are given in Sengupta et al. (1994) and Sengupta Rao (2006). The near-held response created due to wall excitation is shown in these references as due to the essential singularity of the bilateral Laplace transform of the disturbance stream function. While the experiments of Schubauer Skramstad (1947) verihed the instability theory, the instability theory is incapable of explaining all the aspects of the experiments or... 

For the purpose of evaluating the contour integral, we choose the Bromwich contour along the real wave number axis, without any loss of analyticity of 4>. Thus,... 

For this case, the Bromwich contours have to be traced simultaneously in both the a— and the u>— plane. The choice of Bromwich contour in the u>— plane is not difficult, because in choosing it, one has to satisfy the causality requirement. However, the choice of Bromwich contour in the wave number plane remains as difficult as before for the signal problem. 

The Bromwich contour for point A was chosen in the a -plane on a line extending from -20 to 4-20 that is below and parallel to the areal axis at a distance of 0.009 and in the w-plane it extended from -1 to - -1, above and parallel to the u>reai axis at a distance of 0.02. For the other points, the Bromwich contour in the a- plane is located at a distance of 0.001 below the Ureal axis. The choice of the Bromwich contour in the a- plane was such that all the downstream propagating eigenvalues lie above it. Orr-Sommerfeld equation was solved along these contours with 8192 equidistant points in the a- plane and 512 points in the w-plane. Orr-Sommerfeld equation was solved taking equidistant 2400 points across the shear layer in the range 0 < 2/ < 6.97. Spatial stability analysis produced waves for the four points of Fig. 4.2 with the properties shown in Table 4.1. 

For these excitation parameters, existing spatial modes are all damped One set corresponding to the lower frequency (identified as 1 and 2 in Table 4.2) are below the neutral curve and the other set (B) corresponding to the higher frequency (identified as 3, 4 and 5 in the table) are above the neutral curve. In Fig. 4.10, the computed disturbance velocity in streamwise direction, obtained by Bromwich contour integral method is shown for the case of B (wq = 0.15).
