    Notes: : A computerized geographic information system (GIS) was created in support of data requirements by a hydrologic model designed to predict the runoff hydrograph from ungaged basins. Some geomorphologic characteristics (i.e., channel lengths) were manually measured from topographic maps, while other parameters such as drainage area and number of channels of a specified order, land use, and soil type were digitized and manipulated through use of the GIS. The model required the generation of an integrated Soil Conservation Service (SCS) curve number for the entire basin. To this end, soil associations and land use (generated from analysis of Landsat satellite data) were merged in the GIS to acquire a map representing SCS runoff curve numbers. The volume of runoff obtained from the Watershed Hydrology Simulation (WAHS) Model using this map was compared to the volume computed by hydrograph separation and found to be accurate within 19 percent error. To quantify the effect of changing land use on basin hydrology, the GIS was used to vary percentages from the drainage area from forest to bare soil. By changing the basin runoff curve numbers, significant changes in peak discharge were noted; however, the time to peak discharge remained essentially independent of change in area of land use. The GIS capability eliminated many of the more traditional manual phases of data input arid manipulation, thereby allowing researchers to concentrate on the development and calibration of the model and the interpretation of presumably more accurate results.

    Notes: Nonclassical symmetry solutions of physically relevant partial differential equations are considered via the reduction methods of Bluman and Cole and Clarkson and Kruskal. Consistency conditions will be provided to show that, if satisfied, these two methods are equivalent in the sense that they lead to the same symmetry solutions. The Boussinesq equation and Burgers' equation are used as illustrative examples. Exact solutions, one of which is new, will be presented for Burgers' equation obtained from the Bluman and Cole method, yet not obtainable by Clarkson and Kruskal's method.

    Notes: Abstract The roller coating system used in industry to apply paint to sheet metal involves two contacting rolling cylinders, one of which is rubber covered and through which the sheet metal travels. Of particular concern in the industry is the effect of high pressures upon the flow of paint at the ends of the rollers. In an elastohydrodynamic-lubrication analysis of the paint flow, it is the corresponding “dry-contact pressure” which is of major concern. In this paper we present a numerical solution to the three-dimensional contact problem for both smooth profiled layered bodies and those which involve sharp edges but in both cases ignoring the effects of curvature. The procedure adopted is based on one previously developed by a number of authors for homogeneous bodies. An understanding of the consequences of changing the operating variables is of prime importance in an industrial scenario. The numerical scheme described here provides complete measurements of both the deformation and the contact pressure distribution for given operating variables, which are the elastic properties and dimensions of both rolls and the total applied force.

    Notes: Summary The equation ofn-diffusion, as originally formulated by J. R. Philip for various problems involving unsteady turbulent flows, applies directly to the one-dimensional flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid as well as indirectly to the laminar boundary layer flow of such fluids over a flat plate. The purpose of this note is to utilize a simple relation between one-dimensionaln-diffusion and nonlinear diffusion with power-law diffusivity such that ifp(x, t) denotes ann-diffusion pressure thenc(x, t)=|ϖp/ϖx| satisfies the nonlinear diffusion equation with power law diffusivity. This means in particular that the large number of solutions presently known for nonlinear diffusion can be utilized in the context ofn-diffusion. Known solutions ofn-diffusion are obtained via this procedure as well as newn-diffusion solutions, including the source solution and a solution of the problem of fluid withdrawal at a constant flow rate for a non-Newtonian fluid in a porous medium of infinite extent. Solutions arising from other exact nonlinear diffusion profiles are also investigated as well as the limiting case ofn-diffusion forn tending to infinity and the results are displayed graphically.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Das klassische Problem der Bestimmung der variablen Grenze beim Gefrieren eines halbunendlich gesättigten Fluids mit Newton-Kühlung an der Wand besitzt bekanntlich keine geschlossene Lösung. Näherungslösungen sind nur für große Stefan-Zahlen bekannt. Bei Newton Kühlung erfordern die gängigen numerischen Methoden eine Schrittweite, die so klein ist, daß genaue Resultate große Rechenzeiten erfordern. Hier werden zwei Näherungslösungen konstruiert, die eine für kleine und die andere für große Zeiten. Im Fall einer großen Stefan-Zahlα erhalten wir mit beiden Lösungen einen pseudostationären Zustand mit Korrekturen erster Ordnung. Der Grenzfall der verschwindenden Newton-Kühlung ergibt genau die bekannte Stefan-oder Neumann-Lösung. Im allgemeinen Fall wird die Gültigkeit der Näherung durch Vergleich mit Resultaten früherer Arbeiten sowie mit bekannten oberen und unteren Schranken verifiziert.
    Notes: Summary The classical moving boundary problem for the planar freezing of a semi-infinite saturated liquid with Newton cooling at the wall is well known not to admit an exact solution. Existing perturbation solutions are valid only when the Stefan number is large. Further, since the implementation of the Newton cooling condition involves the step size, numerical solutions are only accurate if extremely small sizes are taken which involves large computing times. Here two new approximate analytic solutions are obtained, the first is an initial or starting solution while the second is valid for subsequent times. In the limit of large Stefan numberα the pseudo-steady state and first order corrected motions arise from both approximations. Further, in the limit of no Newton cooling at the wall the large time solution gives rise to precisely the well known Stefan or Neumann solution. The validity of the approximations is illustrated numerically with reference to previous work and known upper and lower bounds.

    Notes: Abstract Although the velocity slip of granular flows on an inclined plane has been observed in many experiments, sufficient detail is not available for comparison with theoretical predictions. In this paper, we employ a molecular dynamics simulation technique to model the flow of a granular material down a rough inclined plane, with attention being focused on the effect of the boundary roughness and the angle of inclination of the plane. We find that the parameter θ proposed in the literature, which characterises the extent of flowing particles “penetrating” into the boundary, is not the decisive factor for the measurement of the boundary roughness. Slip velocity is found to be linearly proportional to the angle of inclination, but there is a non-linear relation with the boundary parameter θ. The average shear rate produced depends non-linearly on the inclination angle but the influence of the boundary parameter θ on the shear rate is not obvious.
