Convergence of the solutions

We consider the limiting case corresponding to (5 = 0 in (2.185). A restriction obtained in this manner corresponds to the condition of mutual nonpenetration of the crack faces without including the thickness of the shell. We note that in taking full account of the thickness one must bear in mind that the stresses aij, the moments m w) and the transverse forces t w) depend on 5. Thus 5 = 0 in (2.185) carries the implication that the thickness of the shell is taken to be fixed, and the nonpenetration conditions on the crack faces are described approximately. At this point we mention other problems of a passage to limit (Attouch, Picard, 1983 Schuss, 1976 Roubicek, 1997 Oleinik et ah, 1992 Moet, 1982 Telega, Lewinski, 1994). 

in the case under consideration the solution satisfies the following restrictions  

Here the solution of the problem of minimizing the functional H over the set Ko is equivalent to the following variational inequality  

Let the set U be chosen as before. We consider the optimal control problem

Here and below we emphasize the dependence of the objective functional on 5, because later we shall investigate the convergence of the solutions of problem (2.189) as 5 —> 0. 

A major shortage of the method is that the border positions and boundary pressure distributions between the hydrodynamic and contact regions have to be calculated at every step of computation. It is a difficult and laborious procedure because the asperity contacts may produce many contact regions with irregular and time-dependent contours, which complicates the algorithm implementation, increases the computational work, and perhaps spoils the convergence of the solutions. 

CFD methods are used for incompressible- and compressible-, creeping-, laminar- and turbulent-, Newtonian- and non-Newtonian-, and isothermal- and non-isothermal flows. Most commercial CFD codes include the k-z turbulence model [10]. More accurate models are also becoming available. The accuracy of the solution depends on how the mesh fits the true geometry, on the convergence of the solution algorithm, and also on the model used to describe the turbulent flow [11]. 

The two models in Sections VI. 1 and VI.2 have been solved by a numerical method based on a finite difference routine BAND (j).718,20 To solve a non-linear model, iteration with trail values is required. Furthermore, double iterations are needed in cases, for example, when it is required to optimize the thickness of the PBER, or to regress the key parameters from experimental data. These complex situations make the convergences of the solution difficult. 

In cases where there is no possibility of comparing the results of numerical calculations of the observed signal with an accurate solution, for instance in the presence of a magnetic field, the number of polarization moments that have to be accounted for can be determined from the convergence of the solution with increasing Kmax, Kmax values. 

Choose progressively smaller values of Ax and observe the behavior of the solution. If the problem has been correctly formulated and solved, the nodal temperatures should converge as Ax becomes smaller. It should be noted that computational round-off errors increase with an increase in the number of nodes because of the increased number of machine calculations. This is why one needs to observe the convergence of the solution. 

In this chapter, nonlinear boundary value problems were solved numerically. In section 3.2.2, series solutions were derived for nonlinear boundary value problems. This is a powerful technique and is even capable of predicting multiple steady states in a catalyst pellet. However, these series solutions should be used cautiously. The convergence of the solution is not guaranteed and should be verified. This can be done by increasing the number of terms in the series and plotting the profiles. 

The doubly excited configuration ls 3s3p, whose coefficient is small in both superpositions, has been added for reasons of stability in the convergence of the solutions. 

In most of the illustrations for this book, we calculated the pair correlation functions at volume densities of 0.4 and 0.45. For hard spheres Yau et al. (1999) reported calculations of PYup to t] = 0.52. Even at these, relatively far from the close-packing densities, the convergence of the solutions is very slow and requires up to 1000 iterations. 

It should become apparent that when one begins a study, the information required to properly design the experiments is not entirely in hand. The approach must be an iterative one in which initial estimates provide the means to make some initial measurements, and as the information on the kinetics of the reaction is refined, the measurements can be repeated to approach a final convergence of the solution of the mechanism. Such an approach was successful in defining all 12 rate constants in the reaction catalyzed by 5-enolpyruvoylshikimate-3-... 

In practice the field is dominated by the use of digital computers because of the mass of numbers needed to quantify the operating and engineering variables and the many iterations required to obtain convergence of the solutions to the equations. This is not a book on computers, but all computers must be fed with programs based squarely on the principles to which this text is devoted. 

A stringent requirement for the functional is provided by open shell transition metal compounds in the cases investigated in this chapter, high weights of HF exchange always ensured convergence of the solution to the correct ground electronic state, which instead is not always the case for a low HF component (<20%). 

Thus, for the e-uniform convergence of the solution of the finite difference scheme (3.39), (3.38) it suffices to construct the grid so that the inequalities... 

In terms of some characteristics (such as the position of the shock front that ends the supersonic zone) the results obtained with a no-slip boundary condition fitted the experimental data better than those with slip boundary conditions. The convergence of the solution with a denser grid was monitored. For the nonstationary phenomena in these processes, separating and bottom flows remain largely unexplored and are beyond the scope of the present study. Therefore, the results were obtained for the conventional slip flow along the body that models the flow of ideal gas. 

An examination of the solution procedure flow chart reveals that the thermal EHL analysis Is broken Into two parts a core analysis which computes Isothermal EHL analyses, and a secondary analysis tAilch determines the thermal Influences. The advantage of this partitioned analysis Is that the pressure-deflection competent of EHL solutions are very slow to converge. Once satisfactory convergence has been obtained, however, the Inclusion of thermal effects and the subsequent convergence of the solution are relatively rapid. For this reason, all thermal EHL results reported In this work ere firstly solved as Isothermal problems. Then, the thermal effects t ere Incorporated to achieve the full solution. 

Once the numerical model equations are solved, the convergence of the solution can be studied. This can be achieved by solving the problem for different element sizes and also for different element orders. One possible method for developing high fidelity models of the reaction kinetics and mass transport effects in the gas diffusion electrodes, and in the electrolyte, is to start with one-dimensional models. These model equations are relatively quick to solve and it is also possible to run the simulation for many different element sizes, which may give a hint of the accuracy and convergence that may be... 

The set of equations (5.28) may be solved directly, which however is rather disadvantageous in the case of large systems. For this reason, several variants of the gradient method as well as some other types of procedures were developed, in order to obtain speedy convergency of the solution with respect to the convex nature of the Gibbs function (see Appendix 3). 

For a spherical particle with isotropic diffusion and reaction, the pj are only a function of the radial position. To improve the convergence of the solution procedure each pj is normalized by dividing it by the partial pressure at the surface, //,. In the following, this ratio is represented by yj. The boundary conditions (B.C.) can now be written, for a spherical particle ... 

However, if there is a nonlinear non-negativity constraint on the estimate, this value is no longer valid, resulting in very slow convergence of the solution [26], rendering this algorithm much less usefiil than the standard MLE algorithm. 

The impact of this parameter was also explored as part of a limited sensitivity analysis for the Station Blackout simulation in Peach Bottom using MELCOR Version 1.8BC and 1.8DN [9], which showed significant differences in timing of key events, and a lack of convergence of the solution with reduction of At. However, the development staff at SNL have...
