Initial transient

A simplified approximate solution to the transient growth before the steady-state growth was foimd by Tiller (which is very close to the exact solution foimd by Smith, Tiller, and Rutter) can be written as 

Composition along a directionally solidified sample in which a fraction /has been solidified with no convective mixing. The first to freeze has composition is Ci =kCa- The rejected B-rich component builds up a diffusion layer ahead of the advancing solidification front. When the composition in the melt C2 = kCo, the solid will have the composition Co. 

Although the composition of the final solid is by no means uniform, there is at least a region over which the composition of the solid is the same as the starting composition. The ends of the final solid where the composition is not uniform can be cut off and remelted. Obviously, the sample length must be longer than the initial transient and the diffusion length for this technique to be effective.

Strictly speaking, all perturbations must be time-dependent we cannot arrange for them to have been in existence since t = —oo and we must instead switch them on. As in an electrical circuit, such switching-on causes initial transient behaviour that eventually dies away to leave a steady state. 

In fact, following a small initial transient period, temporal sections of the space-time pattern are always of the form... 

The above two examples were chosen so as to point out the similarity between a physical experiment and a simple numerical experiment (Initial Value Problem). In both cases, after the initial transients die out, we can only observe attractors (i.e. stable solutions). In both of the above examples however, a simple observation of the attractors does not provide information about the nature of the instabilities involved, or even about the nature of the observed solution. In both of these examples it is necessary to compute unstable solutions and their stable and/or unstable manifolds in order to track and analyze the hidden structure, and its implications for the observable system dynamics. 

Following an initial transient condition, the extractor will achieve a steady state operating condition, in which the outlet concentrations then remain constant with respect to time. 

The steady-state approach, however, provides no information on the initial transient conditions, whereby the extractor achieves eventual steady state or on its dynamic response to disturbances. For this it is necessary to derive the dynamic balance equations for the system. 

Table 1.1 The relationship between the type of cavitation bubbles and that of the cavitation noise spectrum in the parameter space shown in Fig. 1.1. Chaotic (initial transient) means nonperiodic pulsation only at the initial transient stage although the pulsation becomes periodic at the steady-state.

Fur a single sires application if load had been applied at different times, the proportionality would hold only after the initial transient response had died out. 

Consider a highly resolved simulation of a set of microscopic TFM equations for a fluidized suspension of particles in a large periodic domain. The filtering operation does not require a periodic domain however, as each location in a periodic domain is statistically equivalent to any other location, statistical averages can be gathered much faster when simulations are done in periodic domains. After an initial transient period that depends on the initial conditions,... 

Figure 2 plots the evolution of the incoming fluxes Jm and with time for some typical values from the literature [24,25] and references therein. As expected, the diffusive flux Jm decreases with time and tends towards a steady-state value when converging with Ju. It is noticeable that, in the initial transient, the internalisation flux Ju is much closer to its eventual steady-state...

Equation 3.85 is valid after initial transients have died away. 

Because the coefficients are time-dependent, the stationary PDF will only approximate fe after an initial transient period. 

A circuit that uses a differential amplifier to maintain constant membrane potential by electronically balancing the ion channel current. This method allows the experimenter to analyze action potentials of excitable membranes resulting from an initial transient rise in sodium ion permeability followed by a transient rise in potassium ion permeability The technique is especially valuable for studying kinetic properties of voltage-gated channels as well as voltage-dependent channels.

Taking away the whole top layer all at once would yield a value twice as big as (13), but, is still yualitativcly correct.] The dependence of /t on if is rather similar to Ey. (6). Hence we expect the top part of the dome to be facetted after an initial transient, and the time dependence of the bump height to be approximately linear. 

If the short initial transient period with complicated behavior is ignored, the solution for the concentration profile is (Equation 3-116)...
