Explicit formulas for gradients and the divergence in n-dimensional spherical coordinates
Bernd Rummler, Gudrun Thäter
We use the Laplacian in n-dimensional spherical coordinates (n>1) to write the divergence of a vector field defined on radially symmetric domains in the context of vector calculus.…
Exact Poincaré Constants in three-dimensional Annuli
Bernd Rummler, Michael Ruzicka, Gudrun Thäter
We study 3d-annuli. In our non-dimensional setting each annulus is defined via two concentrical balls with radii and . For these geometrie…
The Stokes Eigenvalue Problem on balls and annuli in three dimensions: Solutions with Poloidal and Toroidal Fields
Bernd Rummler, Gudrun Thäter
We consider the Stokes eigenvalue problem in open balls and open annuli in R3 with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using the frame of toroidal and poloidal fields we con…
Exact Poincare Constants in n-dimensional Annuli
Bernd Rummler, Michael Ruzicka, Gudrun Thäter
We study -dimensional annuli for with . We choose a non-dimensional setting such that for any fixed and given number the…
Natural convection in the horizontal annulus: critical Rayleigh number for the steady problem
Arianna Passerini, Bernd Rummler, Michael Ruzicka +1
For the 2D Oberbeck-Boussinesq system in an annulus we are looking for the critical Rayleigh number for which the (nonzero) basic flow loses stability. For this we consider the cor…
