Second-order scalar equations

The RQDO radial, scalar, equation derives from a non-unitary decoupling of Dirac s second order radial equation. The analytical solutions, RQDO orbitals, are linear combinations of the large and small components of Dirac radial function [6,7] ... [Pg.52]

It is well known that the Dirac equation with scalar and vector potentials can be reduced to a second-order differential equation and manipulated into the form of the Schrodinger equation [Cl 85]. [Pg.228]

Here (following ref. [Lu87]) we reduce the single particle Dirac equation to a second-order differential equation which yields an equivalent upper component for the projectile wave function and consequently the same scattering observables. A more detailed account of the derivation of this so-called Schrodinger equivalent potential for local scalar, vector and tensor interactions is given in ref. [Cl 85],... [Pg.320]

Equations (8.20) are not sufficiently specific for practical purposes, so it is important to consider special cases leading to simpler relations. When the pore orientations are isotropically distributed, the second order tensors k, 3 and y are isotropic and are therefore scalar multiples of the unit tensor. Thus equation (8.20) simplifies to... [Pg.74]

Matrix and tensor notation is useful when dealing with systems of equations. Matrix theory is a straightforward set of operations for linear algebra and is covered in Section A.I. Tensor notation, treated in Section A.2, is a classification scheme in which the complexity ranges upward from scalars (zero-order tensors) and vectors (first-order tensors) through second-order tensors and beyond. [Pg.467]

As noted in Chapter 1, the composition PDF description utilizes the concept of turbulent diffusivity (Tt) to model the scalar flux. Thus, it corresponds to closure at the level of the k-e and gradient-diffusion models, and should be used with caution for flows that require closure at the level of the RSM and scalar-flux equation. In general, the velocity, composition PDF codes described in Section 7.4 should be used for flows that require second-order closures. On the other hand, Lagrangian composition codes are well suited for use with an LES description of turbulence. [Pg.359]

Unlike Lagrangian composition codes that use two-equation turbulence models, closure at the level of second-order RANS turbulence models is achieved. In particular, the scalar fluxes are treated in a consistent manner with respect to the turbulence model, and the effect of chemical reactions on the scalar fluxes is treated exactly. [Pg.379]

Let us now identify the Cauchy data. As the Maxwell equations are of second order in the scalars, the initial data should be the two functions (time derivatives 0o[Pg.232]

From equation (8), the second-order energy is xFs resorting to scalar notation. Cancelling F2 we find... [Pg.90]

The spacing of the different energy levels studied by NQR is due to the interaction of the nuclear quadrupole moment and the electric field gradient at the site of the nucleus considered. Usually the electric quadrupole moment of the nucleus is written eQ, where e is the elementary charge Q has the dimension of an area and is of the order of 10 24 cm2. More exactly, the electric quadrupole moment of the nucleus is described by a second order tensor. However, because of its symmetry and the validity of the Laplace equation, the scalar quantity eQ is sufficient to describe this tensor. [Pg.3]

Equations (8.10)—(8.12), tensorial ranks and boundary conditions (8.14)-(8.15) notwithstanding, embody a structure similar in format and symbolism to their counterparts for the transport of passive scalars, e.g., the material transport of the scalar probability density P (Brenner, 1980b Brenner and Adler, 1982), at least in the absence of convective transport. As such, by analogy to the case of nonconvective material transport, the effective kinematic viscosity viJkl of the suspension may be obtained by matching the total spatial moments of the probability density Pu to those of an equivalent coarse-grained dyadic probability density P j, valid on the suspension scale, using a scheme (Brenner and Adler, 1982) identical in conception to that used to determine the effective diffusivity for material transport at the Darcy scale from the analogous scalar material probability density P. In particular, the second-order total moment M(2) (sM, ) of the probability density P, defined as... [Pg.60]

The notation used in the generic equation is strictly only valid for scalar properties. In the particular case when a vector property is considered the tensor order of the corresponding variables is understood to be adjusted accordingly. Hence, the quantities ipk, 4>k and second order tensors. [Pg.373]

We therefore adapt the locally quadratic Hamiltonian treatment of Gaussian wave packets, pioneered by Heller [18], to a system with an induced adiabatic vector potential. The locally quadratic theory replaces the anharmonic time-independent nuclear Hamiltonian by a time-dependent Hamiltonian which is taken to be of second order about the instantaneous center of the wave packet. Since the nuclear wave packet continually evolves under an effective harmonic Hamiltonian, an initially Gaussian wave form remains Gaussian. The treatment yields equations of motion for the wave function parameters that can be solved numerically [36-38]. The locally quadratic Hamiltonian includes a second order expansion of the scalar potential, consisting of the last three terms in Eq. (2.18), which we write as... [Pg.14]
