Abstract

The Noble-Abel (NA) equation of state (EOS) is widely used in interior ballistics of guns as well as rocket propulsion computations. Its simplicity and accuracy are key points for intensive computations with hyperbolic two-phase flow models considered in interior ballistics codes. An alternative is examined in the present contribution through a first-order virial (VO1) equation of state. Appropriate methods for the determination of related parameters, such as specific gas constant, covolume and condensed material energy for both formulations (NA and VO1) are presented. Combination of closed bomb vessel experiments and thermochemical code computations are needed. An extended VO1 EOS with temperature dependent specific heat is examined. Then extension to multiple reactive materials is addressed. Examples are examined for each formulation (NA and VO1) and comparisons are done with the Becker-Kistiakowsky-Wilson (BKW) EOS as reference. Several conclusions emerged. First, consideration of specific heat temperature dependance in interior ballistics of guns computations appeared insignificant. Second, VO1 appeared more accurate than NA, particularly when gas density comes out of the range used for the EOS parameters determination. Last, regarding mixtures of condensed reactive materials, producing burnt gas mixtures, NA appeared again less accurate than VO1. However, its formulation is explicit, while VO1 requires numerical solving of a non-linear equation, with consequences on computational cost.

Renormalized Lambert-W Cascade and Finite-Time Amplification and Blowup for reconstructed b Dynamics on T^3 for the 3D Navier Stokes Equations

This article extracts and consolidates the renormalized Lambert-$W$ branch-point cascade, its distinguished phase reduction, the exact characteristic invariant and finite-time amplification mechanism, and the extended reconstructed $b_i$ equation on $\mathbb T^3$. Repeated historical derivations are removed while the principal proofs and terminal reconstruction estimates are retained. The presentation separates exact finite-depth statements from coupled-depth asymptotics and records the hypotheses required for the extended PDE reconstruction. This paper further supports a recent paper \cite {moschandreou2026exploration} published by the corresponding author which claims that the Navier Stokes equations lose smoothness in finite time from initial smooth data.

Unconditional uniqueness for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation by normal form approach

We prove uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $L^\infty_tH^{1/2}_x$. Our proof is based on the method of normal form reduction (NFR), which has been employed to obtain the uniqueness in $C_tH^s_x$, $s>1/2$. To overcome logarithmic divergences at the $H^{1/2}$ regularity, we exploit the $B^{0+}_{\infty,1}$ control of solutions provided by a refined Strichartz estimate. Our NFR argument consists of two stages: we first use NFR finitely many times to derive an intermediate equation in which the main cubic nonlinearity is restricted to a certain type of frequency interaction; we then apply the infinite NFR scheme to the intermediate equation. Moreover, we modify the usual NFR argument relying on continuity in time of solutions so that the uniqueness in the class $L^\infty_tH^{1/2}_x$ can be obtained directly.

Equivalence between solvability of the Dirichlet and Regularity problem under an $L^1$ Carleson condition on $\partial_t A$

We study an elliptic operator $L:=-\mathrm{div}(A\nabla \cdot)$ on the upper half space. It is known that solvability of the Regularity problem in $\dot{W}^{1,p}$ implies solvability of the adjoint Dirichlet problem in $L^{p'}$. Previously, Shen (2007) established a partial reverse result. In our work, we show that if we assume a mixed \(L^1-L^\infty\) condition on only \(|\partial_t A|\), the full reverse direction holds. As a result, we obtain equivalence between solvability of the Dirichlet problem $(D)^*_{p'}$ and the Regularity problem $(R)_p$ under this condition. As a further consequence, we can extend the class of operators for which the $L^p$ Regularity problem is solvable by operators satisfying the mixed $L^1-L^\infty$ condition. Additionally in the case of the upper half plane, this class includes operators satisfying this this mixed \(L^1-L^\infty\) condition.
