The viscoelastic fluid flow model across a porous medium has captivated the interest of many contemporary researchers due to its industrial and technical uses, such as food processing, paper and textile coating, packed bed reactors, the cooling effect of transpiration and the dispersion of pollutants through aquifers. This article focuses on the influence of variable viscosity and viscoelasticity on the magnetohydrodynamic oscillatory flow of second-order fluid through thermally radiating wavy walls. A mathematical model for this fluid flow, including governing equations and boundary conditions, is developed using the usual Boussinesq approximation. The governing equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using non-similarity transformations. The numerical results obtained by applying finite-difference code based on the Lobatto IIIa formula generated by bvp4c solver are compared to the semi-analytical solutions for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles obtained using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The effect of flow parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration profiles, skin friction coefficient, heat and mass transfer rate, and skin friction coefficient is examined and illustrated graphically. The physical parameters governing the fluid flow profoundly affected the resultant flow profiles except in a few cases. By using the slope linear regression method, the importance of considering the viscosity variation parameter and its interaction with the Lorentz force in determining the velocity behavior of the viscoelastic fluid model is highlighted. The percentage increase in the velocity profile of the viscoelastic model has been calculated for different ranges of viscosity variation parameters. Finally, the results are validated numerically for the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number profiles.

Coffee berry disease (CBD), resulting from the Colletotrichum kahawae fungal pathogen, poses a severe risk to coffee crops worldwide. Focused on coffee berries, it triggers substantial economic losses in regions relying heavily on coffee cultivation. The devastating impact extends beyond agricultural losses, affecting livelihoods and trade economies. Experimental insights into coffee berry disease provide crucial information on its pathogenesis, progression, and potential mitigation strategies for control, offering valuable knowledge to safeguard the global coffee industry. In this paper, we investigated the mathematical model of coffee berry disease, with a focus on the dynamics of the coffee plant and Colletotrichum kahawae pathogen populations, categorized as susceptible, exposed, infected, pathogenic, and recovered (SEIPR) individuals. To address the system of nonlinear differential equations and obtain semi-analytical solution for the coffee berry disease model, a novel analytical approach combining the Shehu transformation, Akbari – Ganji, and Pade approximation method (SAGPM) was utilized. A comparison of analytical results with numerical simulations demonstrates that the novel SAGPM is excellent efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis of the coffee berry disease model examines the effects of all parameters on the basic reproduction number $R_0$. Moreover, in order to examine the behavior of the model individuals, we varied some parameters in CBD. Through this analysis, we obtained valuable insights into the responses of the coffee berry disease model under various conditions and scenarios. This research offers valuable insights into the utilization of SAGPM and sensitivity analysis for analyzing epidemiological models, providing significant utility for researchers in the field.

Проведенное исследование основано на сочетании трехмерной гидродинамической модели глобального климата, включая модель океана с реальными глубинами и конфигурацией континентов, модель эволюции морского льда и энерго-, влагобалансовую модель атмосферы. Концентрация аэрозоля от 2010 г. до 2100 г. рассчитывается как управляющий параметр для стабилизации среднегодовой температуры воздуха у поверхности земли. На основе расчетов предполагается, что выбросы серы от 2010 г. до 2100 г. изменяются линейно для первого сценария и квадратично — для второго роста СО₂. Граница Парето исследована и визуализирована для двух параметров — среднеквадратичного отклонения атмосферной температуры для зимнего и летнего сезонов.

The study is based on a three-dimensional hydrodynamic global climate coupled model, including ocean model with real depths and continents configuration, sea ice evolution model and energy and moisture balance atmosphere model. Aerosol concentration from the year 2010 to 2100 is calculated as a controlling parameter to stabilize mean year surface air temperature. It is shown that by this way it is impossible to achieve the space and seasonal uniform approximation to the existing climate, although it is possible significantly reduce the greenhouse warming effect. Climate will be colder at 0.1–0.2 degrees in the low and mid-latitudes and at high latitudes it will be warmer at 0.2–1.2 degrees. The Pareto frontier is investigated and visualized for two parameters — atmospheric temperature mean square deviation for the winter and summer seasons. The Pareto optimal amount of sulfur emissions would be between 23.5 and 26.5 TgS/year.

Problems of multiple covering ($k$-covering) of a bounded set $G$ with equal circles of a given radius are well known. They are thoroughly studied under the assumption that $G$ is a finite set. There are several papers concerned with studying this problem in the case where $G$ is a connected set. In this paper, we study the problem of minimizing the number of circles that form a $k$-covering, $k \geqslant 1$, provided that $G$ is a bounded convex plane domain.

For the above-mentioned problem, we state a 0-1 linear model, a general integer linear model, and a nonlinear model, imposing a constraint on the minimum distance between the centers of covering circles. The latter constraint is due to the fact that in practice one can place at most one device at each point. We establish necessary and sufficient solvability conditions for the linear models and describe one (easily realizable) variant of these conditions in the case where the covered set $G$ is a rectangle.

We propose some methods for finding an approximate number of circles of a given radius that provide the desired $k$-covering of the set $G$, both with and without constraints on distances between the circles’ centers. We treat the calculated values as approximate upper bounds for the number of circles. We also propose a technique that allows one to get approximate lower bounds for the number of circles that is necessary for providing a $k$-covering of the set $G$. In the general linear model, as distinct from the 0-1 linear model, we require no additional constraint. The difference between the upper and lower bounds for the number of circles characterizes the quality (acceptability) of the constructed $k$-covering.

We state a nonlinear mathematical model for the $k$-covering problem with the above-mentioned constraints imposed on distances between the centers of covering circles. For this model, we propose an algorithm which (in certain cases) allows one to find more exact solutions to covering problems than those calculated from linear models.

For implementing the proposed approach, we have developed computer programs and performed numerical experiments. Results of numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

В работе изучаются пространственно-временные режимы, реализующиеся в системе типа «хищник– жертва». Предполагается, что хищники перемещаются направленно и случайно, а жертвы распространяются только диффузионно. Демографические процессы в популяции хищников не учитываются, их общая численность постоянна и является параметром. Переменные модели — плотности популяций хищников и жертв, скорость хищников — связаны между собой системой трех уравнений типа «реакция – диффузия – адвекция». Система рассматривается на кольцевом ареале (с периодическими условиями на границах интервала). Исследуются бифуркации волновых режимов при изменении двух параметров — общего количества хищников и их коэффициента таксисного ускорения.

Основным методом исследования является численный анализ. Пространственная аппроксимация задачи в частных производных производится методом конечных разностей. Интегрирование полученной системы обыкновенных дифференциальных уравнений по времени проводится методом Рунге – Кутты. Для анализа динамических режимов используются построение отображения Пуанкаре, расчет показателей Ляпунова и спектр Фурье.

Показано, что популяционные волны в предположениях модели могут возникать в результате направленных перемещений хищников. Динамика в системе качественно меняется при росте их общего количества. При малых значениях устойчив стационарный однородный режим, который сменяется автоколебаниями в виде бегущих волн. Форма волн претерпевает изменения с ростом бифуркационного параметра, ее усложнение происходит за счет увеличения числа временных колебательных мод. Большой коэффициент таксисного ускорения приводит к переходу от многочастотных к хаотическим и гиперхаотическим популяционным волнам. При большом количестве хищников реализуется стационарный режим с отсутствием жертв.

Our purpose is to study the spatio-temporal population wave behavior observed in the predator-prey system. It is assumed that predators move both directionally and randomly, and prey spread only diffusely. The model does not take into account demographic processes in the predator population; it’s total number is constant and is a parameter. The variables of the model are the prey and predator densities and the predator speed, which are connected by a system of three reaction – diffusion – advection equations. The system is considered on an annular range, that is the periodic conditions are set at the boundaries of the interval. We have studied the bifurcations of wave modes arising in the system when two parameters are changed — the total number of predators and their taxis acceleration coefficient.

The main research method is a numerical analysis. The spatial approximation of the problem in partial derivatives is performed by the finite difference method. Integration of the obtained system of ordinary differential equations in time is carried out by the Runge –Kutta method. The construction of the Poincare map, calculation of Lyapunov exponents, and Fourier analysis are used for a qualitative analysis of dynamic regimes.

It is shown that, population waves can arise as a result of existence of directional movement of predators. The population dynamics in the system changes qualitatively as the total predator number increases. А stationary homogeneous regime is stable at low value of parameter, then it is replaced by self-oscillations in the form of traveling waves. The waveform becomes more complicated as the bifurcation parameter increases; its complexity occurs due to an increase in the number of temporal vibrational modes. A large taxis acceleration coefficient leads to the possibility of a transition from multi-frequency to chaotic and hyperchaotic population waves. A stationary regime without preys becomes stable with a large number of predators.

В работе рассмотрена математическая модель, основанная на линейном интегро-дифференциальном уравнении Больцмана, описывающая перенос излучения в рассеивающей среде, подвергающейся импульсному облучению точечным источником. Сформулирована обратная задача для уравнения переноса, заключающаяся в определении коэффициента рассеяния по временно-угловому распределению плотности потока излучения в заданной точке пространства. При исследовании обратной задачи анализируется представление решения уравнения в виде ряда Неймана. Нулевой член ряда описывает нерассеянное излучение, первый член ряда — однократно рассеянное поле, остальные члены — многократно рассеянное поле. Для областей с небольшой оптической толщиной и невысоким уровнем рассеяния при нахождении приближенного решения уравнения переноса излучения широкое распространение получило приближение однократного рассеяния. При использовании этого подхода к задаче с дополнительными ограничениями на исходные данные получена аналитическая формула для нахождения коэффициента рассеяния. Для проверки адекватности полученной формулы построен и программно реализован весовой метод Монте-Карло решения уравнения переноса, учитывающий многократное рассеяние в среде и пространственно-временную сингулярность источника излучения. Применительно к проблемам высокочастотного акустического зондирования в океане проведены вычислительные эксперименты. Показано, что применение приближения однократного рассеяния оправдано по крайней мере на дальности зондирования порядка ста метров, причем основное влияние на погрешность формулы вносят двукратно и трехкратно рассеянные поля. Для областей большего размера приближение однократного рассеяния в лучшем случае дает лишь качественное представление о структуре среды, иногда не позволяя определить даже порядок количественных характеристик параметров взаимодействия излучения с веществом.

The mathematical model based on the linear integro-differential Boltzmann equation is considered in this article. The model describes the radiation transfer in the scattering medium irradiated by a point source. The inverse problem for the transfer equation is defined. This problem consists of determining the scattering coefficient from the time-angular distribution of the radiation flux density at a given point in space. The Neumann series representation for solving the radiation transfer equation is analyzed in the study of the inverse problem. The zero member of the series describes the unscattered radiation, the first member of the series describes a single-scattered field, the remaining members of the series describe a multiple-scattered field. When calculating the approximate solution of the radiation transfer equation, the single scattering approximation is widespread to calculated an approximate solution of the equation for regions with a small optical thickness and a low level of scattering. An analytical formula is obtained for finding the scattering coefficient by using this approximation for problem with additional restrictions on the initial data. To verify the adequacy of the obtained formula the Monte Carlo weighted method for solving the transfer equation is constructed and software implemented taking into account multiple scattering in the medium and the space-time singularity of the radiation source. As applied to the problems of high-frequency acoustic sensing in the ocean, computational experiments were carried out. The application of the single scattering approximation is justified, at least, at a sensing range of about one hundred meters and the double and triple scattered fields make the main impact on the formula error. For larger regions, the single scattering approximation gives at the best only a qualitative evaluation of the medium structure, sometimes it even does not allow to determine the order of the parameters quantitative characteristics of the interaction of radiation with matter.

В работе выполнен физический и численный анализ динамики и излучения продуктов взрыва, образующихся при проведении российско-американского эксперимента в ионосфере с использованием взрывного генератора на основе гексогена и тротила. Основное внимание уделяется анализу взаимосвязи излучения возмущенной области с динамикой процессов взрывчатого вещества и плазменной струи на поздней стадии. Проанализирован подробный химический состав продуктов взрыва и определены начальные концентрации наиболее важных молекул, способных излучать в инфракрасном диапазоне спектра, и приведены их излучательные константы. Определены начальная температура продуктов взрыва и показатель адиабаты. Проанализирован характер взаимопроникновения атомов и молекул сильно разреженной ионосферы в сферически расширяющееся облако продуктов. Разработана приближенная математическая модель динамики продуктов взрыва в условиях подмешивания к ним разреженного воздуха ионосферы и рассчитаны основные термодинамические характеристики системы. Показано, что на время 0,3–3 с происходит существенное повышение температуры разлетающейся смеси в результате ее торможения. Для анализа и сравнения на основе лагранжевого подхода разработан численный алгоритм решения двухобластной газодинамической задачи, в которой продукты взрыва и фоновый газ разделены контактной границей. Требовалось выполнение специальных условий на контактной границе при ее движении в покоящемся газе. В данном случае существуют определенные трудности в описании параметров продуктов взрыва вблизи контактной границы, что связано с большим различием в размерах массовых ячеек продуктов взрыва и фона из-за перепада плотности на 13 порядков. Для сокращения времени расчета данной задачи в области продуктов взрыва применялась неравномерная расчетная сетка. Расчеты выполнялись с различными показателями адиабаты. Получены результаты, наиболее важным из которых является температура, хорошо согласуется с результатами, полученными по методике, приближенно учитывающей взаимопроникновение. Получено поведение во времени коэффициентов излучения ИК-активных молекул в широком диапазоне спектра. Данное поведение качественно согласуется с экспериментами по ИК-свечению разлетающихся продуктов взрыва.

The paper presents a physical and numerical analysis of the dynamics and radiation of explosion products formed during the Russian-American experiment in the ionosphere using an explosive generator based on hexogen (RDX) and trinitrotoluene (TNT). The main attention is paid to the radiation of the perturbed region and the dynamics of the products of explosion (PE). The detailed chemical composition of the explosion products is analyzed and the initial concentrations of the most important molecules capable of emitting in the infrared range of the spectrum are determined, and their radiative constants are given. The initial temperature of the explosion products and the adiabatic exponent are determined. The nature of the interpenetration of atoms and molecules of a highly rarefied ionosphere into a spherically expanding cloud of products is analyzed. An approximate mathematical model of the dynamics of explosion products under conditions of mixing rarefied ionospheric air with them has been developed and the main thermodynamic characteristics of the system have been calculated. It is shown that for a time of 0,3–3 sec there is a significant increase in the temperature of the scattering mixture as a result of its deceleration. In the problem under consideration the explosion products and the background gas are separated by a contact boundary. To solve this two-region gas dynamic problem a numerical algorithm based on the Lagrangian approach was developed. It was necessary to fulfill special conditions at the contact boundary during its movement in a stationary gas. In this case there are certain difficulties in describing the parameters of the explosion products near the contact boundary which is associated with a large difference in the size of the mass cells of the explosion products and the background due to a density difference of 13 orders of magnitude. To reduce the calculation time of this problem an irregular calculation grid was used in the area of explosion products. Calculations were performed with different adiabatic exponents. The most important result is temperature. It is in good agreement with the results obtained by the method that approximately takes into account interpenetration. The time behavior of the IR emission coefficients of active molecules in a wide range of the spectrum is obtained. This behavior is qualitatively consistent with experiments for the IR glow of flying explosion products.
