The fluids were assumed to be initially stationary, immiscible, inviscid and incompressible. The disturbed flows, generated by an impulsive and oscillatory source/dipole immersed above or be neath the interface, were governed by the I.aplace equations. The kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions on the interface were linearized for the small-amplitude waves. By means of the stationary phase analysis on the exact integral form solutions, the asymptotic representations for the interracial waves were derived for large time with a fixed distance to time ratio. The relation between a submerged singularity and a sur face pressure point was discussed. It is found that the local wavelength and the local wave period of the interracial waves are elongated in comparison with those of free-surface waves for a single fluid.展开更多

Comparative studies are pursued to investigate the effects due to changes of base parameters on （i） the accuracy of the theoretically predicted wave properties and （ii） the rate of convergence of perturbation expansion. Two important results are found by comparisons between the theoretical predictions based on a set of parameters separately adopted for expansion in turn. First, the accuracy and the convergence of the perturbation expansions, appraised versus the exact solution provided by an earlier paper [1] as the standard reference, are found to depend, quite sensitively, on changes in base parameter. The resulting variations in the solution are physically displayed in various wave properties with differences found dependent on which property （e.g. the wave amplitude, speed, its profile, excess mass, momentum, and energy）, on what range in value of the base, and on the rank of the order n in the expansion being addressed. Secondly, regarding convergence, the present perturbation series is found definitely asymptotic in nature, with the relative error δ （n） （the relative mean-square difference between successive orders n of wave elevations） reaching a minimum, δm at a specific order, n = n both depending on the base adopted, e.g. nm,α= 11-12 based on parameter α （wave amplitude）, nm,δ = 15 on δ （amplitude-speed square ratio）, and nm.ε= 17 on ε （ wave number squared）. The asymptotic range is brought to completion by the highest order of n = 18 reached in this work.展开更多

The floating bodywas modeled as a normal point pressure on the free surface. Based on the Oseen approximation forgoverning equations and the linearity assumption for boundary conditions, the exact solutions inintegral form for the free-surface elevation, the velocities and the pressure were given. Byemploying Lighthill's two-stage scheme, the asymptotic representations in far field for largeReynolds numbers were derived explicitly. The effect of viscosity on the wave profiles was expressedby an exponential decay factor, which removes the singular behavior predicted by the potentialtheory.展开更多

The fluid is assumed to be inviscid, incompressible and homogenous. The inertial surface represents the effect of a thin uniform distribution of non-interacting floating matter. Four types of unsteady concentrated disturbances and two kinds of initial values are considered, namely an instantaneous/oscillating mass source immersed in the fluid, an instantaneous/oscillating impulse on the surface, an initial impulse on the surface of the fluid, and an initial displacement of the surface. The linearized initial-boundary-value problem is formulated within the framework of potential flow. The solutions in integral form for the surface elevation are obtained by means of a joint Laplace-Fourier transform. The asymptotic representations of the wave motion for large time with a fixed distance- to-time ratio are derived by using the method of stationary phase. The effect of the presence of an inertial surface on the wave motion is analyzed. It is found that the wavelengths of the transient dispersive waves increase while those of the steady-state progressive waves decrease. All the wave amplitudes decrease in comparison with those of conventional free-surface waves. The explicit expressions for the freesurface gravity waves can readily be recovered by the present results as the inertial surface disappears.展开更多

We provide an asymptotic represen- tation of the order-restricted maximum likelihood estimate of the unknown parameters. The resulting estimators are proven to be ~n-consistent and asymptotically normal under appropriate conditions. A chi-squared test method is used for this hypothesis test problem. A real data set is applied to illustrate our theoretical result.展开更多

A generalized product-limit estimator for the conditional distribution at a given covariate value is proposed, and an almost sure asymptotic representation of this estimator is established. We also obtain the rate of uniform consistency, weak convergence and a modulus of continuity for this estimator. Applications include trimmed mean and quantile function estimators.These applications demonstrate the usefulness of the new matrix products.展开更多
