项目摘要

In one component of this project, the investigators will study equations which mathematically describe the flow of gas as it streams within a walled cavity and interacts with a vibrating portion of the cavity's boundary. Within this mathematical framework, the investigators will attempt to determine if the gas flow and cavity wall displacement can be favorably altered or "controlled" by means of the deliberate placement of forces which act on the cavity wall. The accomplishment of this program objective could lend insight into understanding and controlling the gas flows which are associated with high-speed aircraft and natural gas pipelines. Furthermore, a mathematical model which has recently been derived to describe a structure-fluid interaction in which an elastic body is wholly immersed within a given fluid will be studied. This new mathematical model differs from previous structure-fluid models, in that numerical simulations of solutions to the new model suggest that the associated structural displacements, as well as the fluid flow field, elicit a much more quiescent behavior than previously thought. The investigators intend to mathematically verify this observed "stability" for such structure-fluid dynamics. A successful conclusion to this work could potentially enhance the understanding of cellular dynamics: such structure-fluid interaction models have been invoked to describe a nuclear body, within a cell, as it interacts with the surrounding viscous cytoplasm. Moreover, a mathematical model which describes acoustic wave flow within a structural chamber, with one of the chamber walls being flexible, will be studied. In particular, it is intended to determine if the acoustic waves in this structural model will die out as time evolves. Such a conclusion of wave stability in this mathematical setting would have implications in real-world control engineering: With a view of promoting a quiescent acoustic field within the interior of an aircraft cabin, the stability results of the project could conceivably be taken into account in aircraft fuselage design. In the course of fulfilling the project objectives, graduate students, including first generation university students and women, will receive training in the necessary qualitative analysis and numerical computation. The gas flow-cavity model described above consists of the 3D compressible Stokes or Navier-Stokes flow equations coupled to an elastic plate equation which describes the displacements of the flexible portion of the cavity wall. This PDE system is subjected to cavity boundary control terms. The investigators will determine the optimal regularity of solutions to such controlled (gas) flow-structure PDE models under the influence of boundary control terms of prescribed smoothness. Subsequently, they intend to solve the associated null controllability problem with respect to the appropriate space of boundary control functions. Moreover, in the aforementioned structure-fluid interaction, the structure is composed of a "thick" and "thin" layer: the thick layer is described by a 3D wave equation, while the the thin layer is described by a 2D wave equation and constitutes the boundary interface between the thick wave equation and the 3D fluid component equation. The investigators intend to establish that classical solutions of this 3D wave-2D wave-3D heat PDE system manifest at least a polynomial rate of decay, which would be in line with what has been observed numerically. In addition, the rational decay problem for the structural acoustic interaction, in which an acoustic wave equation within a bounded domain interacts with a dissipative elastic equation across a boundary interface, will be considered. Moreover, an algorithm which will confirm that the polynomial rates obtained are optimal will be developed.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在该项目的一个组成部分中，研究人员将研究数学上描述气体流动的方程，因为它在一个有壁的空腔内流动，并与空腔边界的振动部分相互作用。在这个数学框架内，研究人员将试图确定是否可以通过作用在腔壁上的力的故意放置来有利地改变或“控制”气流和腔壁位移。这一计划目标的实现可以使人们深入了解和控制与高速飞机和天然气管道相关的气流。此外，一个数学模型，最近已经推导出描述的结构-流体相互作用，其中一个弹性体是完全沉浸在一个给定的流体将进行研究。这种新的数学模型不同于以前的结构-流体模型，因为对新模型的解决方案的数值模拟表明，相关的结构位移以及流体流场引起比以前认为的更静态的行为。研究人员打算从数学上验证这种结构-流体动力学的观察到的“稳定性”。这项工作的成功结论可能会增强对细胞动力学的理解：这种结构-流体相互作用模型已被用来描述细胞内的核体，因为它与周围的粘性细胞质相互作用。此外，一个数学模型，它描述了一个结构腔室内的声波流动，其中一个腔壁是灵活的，将进行研究。特别是，它的目的是确定是否在这个结构模型中的声波将随着时间的推移而消失。在这种数学设置中的波稳定性的这样的结论将在现实世界的控制工程中具有影响：为了促进飞机机舱内部的静态声场，该项目的稳定性结果可以在飞机机身设计中考虑。在实现项目目标的过程中，研究生，包括第一代大学生和妇女，将接受必要的定性分析和数值计算方面的培训。上述气流-空腔模型由耦合到弹性板方程的3D可压缩斯托克斯或纳维尔-斯托克斯流动方程组成，弹性板方程描述空腔壁的柔性部分的位移。这个偏微分方程系统受到腔边界控制项的影响。研究人员将确定这种受控（气体）流动结构PDE模型的边界控制项的影响下，规定的平滑度的解决方案的最佳规律性。随后，他们打算解决相关的零可控性问题，相对于适当的边界控制函数的空间。此外，在上述结构-流体相互作用中，结构由“厚”和“薄”层组成：厚层由3D波动方程描述，而薄层由2D波动方程描述，并构成厚波动方程和3D流体分量方程之间的边界界面。研究人员打算建立这个3D波-2D波-3D热PDE系统的经典解至少表现出多项式衰减率，这与数值上观察到的一致。此外，将考虑结构声相互作用的有理衰减问题，其中有界区域内的声波方程与边界界面上的耗散弹性方程相互作用。此外，一个算法，将确认得到的多项式率是最优的将制定。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
