Lagrangian transform

Note that this is not a Lagrangian transformation, although the bubble wall is immobilized. The initial temperature function is taken to be a quadratic... 

We recall, from elementary classical mechanics, that symmetry properties of the Lagrangian (or Hamiltonian) generally imply the existence of conserved quantities. If the Lagrangian is invariant under time displacement, for example, then the energy is conserved similarly, translation invariance implies momentum conservation. More generally, Noether s Theorem states that for each continuous N-dimensional group of transformations that commutes with the dynamics, there exist N conserved quantities. 

Frieden s theory is that any physical measurement induces a transformation of Fisher information J I connecting the phenomenon being measured to intrinsic data. What we call physics - i.e. our objective description of phenomenologically observed behavior - thus derives from the Extreme Physical Information (EPI) principle, which is a variational principle. EPI asserts that, if we define K = I — J as the net physical information, K is an extremum. If one accepts this EPI principle as the foundation, the status of a Lagrangian is immediately elevated from that of a largely ad-hoc construction that yields a desired differential equation to a measure of physical information density that has a definite prior significance. 

This method has the advantage of formulating the theory in terms of the (observable) field intensities. The more usual procedure which starts from a lagrangian formulation22 expresses the theory in terms of the potentials Alt(x). A gauge transformation... 

The electromagnetic field may now formally be interpreted as the gauge field which must be introduced to ensure invariance under local U( 1) gauge transformation. In the most general case the field variables are introduced in terms of the Lagrangian density of the field, which itself is gauge invariant. In the case of the electromagnetic field, as before,... 

A familiar example of Legendre transformation is the relationship that exists between the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian functions of classical mechanics [17]. In thermodynamics the simplest application is to the internal energy function for constant mole number U(S, V), with the differentials... 

As shown above in (6.162), the Lagrangian fluid-particle PDF can be related to the Eulerian velocity, composition PDF by integrating over all initial conditions. As shown below in (6.168), for the Lagrangian notional-particle PDF, the same transformation introduces a weighting factor which involves the PDF of the initial positions y) and the PDF of the current position /x.(x t). If we let V denote a closed volume containing a fixed mass of fluid, then, by definition, x, y e V. The first condition needed to reproduce the Eulerian PDF is that the initial locations be uniform ... 

FM at some density 1. One of the essential points we learned here is that we need no spin-dependent interaction at the original Lagrangian to see SSP. We can see a similar phenomenon in dealing with nuclear matter within the relativistic mean-field theory, where the Fock interaction can be extracted by way of the Fierz transformation from the original Lagrangian [11],... 

Figure 7.10 Transformed (Lagrangian) frame for the analysis of extruder fluid flow. Here the reference frame is positioned on the bottom of the screw channel. The observer on the frame would see the barrel move with the component velocities of and V, ...

Down-channei veiocity KizI in the transformed (Lagrangian) frame is provided by Eq. 7.23. This equation provides the veiocity in the z direction due to the rotation of the screw.

A three-dimensional simulation method was used to simulate this extrusion process and others presented in this book. For this method, an FDM technique was used to solve the momentum equations Eqs. 7.43 to 7.45. The channel geometry used for this method was essentially identical to that of the unwound channel. That is, the width of the channel at the screw root was smaller than that at the barrel wall as forced by geometric constraints provided by Fig. 7.1. The Lagrangian reference frame transformation was used for all calculations, and thermal effects were included. The thermal effects were based on screw rotation. This three-dimensional simulation method was previously proven to predict accurately the simulation of pressures, temperatures, and rates for extruders of different diameters, screw designs, and resin types. 

There is not an analytical velocity function for the y-direction velocity at the flights, so the wide channel approximation is used for demonstration purposes with a pressure gradient of zero. Using the equation developed previously for screw rotation for a very wide shallow channel, the transformed Lagrangian form of is the same as the laboratory form for barrel rotation and is as follows ... 

Equation A7.13 is the cross-channel flow in the transformed (Lagrangian) frame and concludes the derivation of Eq. 7.18. Equation A7.13 also applies to a physical device where the barrel is actually rotated. Transforming Eq. A7.13 to the laboratory (Eule-rian) reference frame as follows for a physical device where the screw is rotated ... 

The deviation of the diagonal Lagrangian-multipliers (see Eq. 6, 7) obtained for the orbitals after the given transformation from the canonical diagonal Fock-matrix elements. 

U(l), whose group space is a circle. This result is another internal inconsistency, because the group space of a gauge theory is a circle, there can be no physical quantity in free space perpendicular to that plane. It is necessary but not sufficient, in this view, that the Lagrangian in U(l) field theory be invariant [6] under U(l) gauge transformation. 

Therefore the fact that 9 is arbitrary in U(l) theory compels that theory to assert that photon mass is zero. This is an unphysical result based on the Lorentz group. When we come to consider the Poincare group, as in section XIII, we find that the Wigner little group for a particle with identically zero mass is E(2), and this is unphysical. Since 9 in the U(l) gauge transform is entirely arbitrary, it is also unphysical. On the U(l) level, the Euler-Lagrange equation (825) seems to contain four unknowns, the four components of , and the field tensor H v seems to contain six unknowns. This situation is simply the result of the term 7/MV in the initial Lagrangian (824) from which Eq. (826) is obtained. However, the fundamental field tensor is defined by the 4-curl ... 

An interesting class of exact self-similar solutions (H2) can be deduced for the case where the newly formed phase density is a function of temperature only. The method involves a transformation to Lagrangian coordinates, based upon the principle of conservation of mass within the new phase. A similarity variable akin to that employed by Zener (Z2) is then introduced which immobilizes the moving boundary in the transformed space. A particular case which has been studied in detail is that of a column of liquid, initially at the saturation temperature T , in contact with a flat, horizontal plate whose temperature is suddenly increased to a large value, Tw T . Suppose that the density of nucleation sites is so great that individual bubbles coalesce immediately upon formation into a continuous vapor film of uniform thickness, which increases with time. Eventually the liquid-vapor interface becomes severely distorted, in part due to Taylor instability but the vapor film growth, before such effects become important, can be treated as a one-dimensional problem. This problem is closely related to reactor safety problems associated with fast power transients. The assumptions made are ... 

This transformation will exist if there is a linear transformation expressing the Q s in terms of the q s, and equations (8) and (9) will result by suitably choosing the coefficients chi. By introducing equations (8) and (9) into the Lagrangian form of the equations of motion, viz.,...

Under the local gauge transformation (226) of the Lagrangian (219), the action is no longer invariant [46], and invariance must be restored by adding terms to the Lagrangian. One such term is... 

It has been demonstrated already that local gauge transformation on this Lagrangian leads to Eq. (153), which contains new charge current density terms due to the Higgs mechanism. For our present purposes, however, it is clearer to use the locally invariant Lagrangian obtained from Eq. (325), specifically...
