Design Methodology of Conical Section Shape for Supercavitating Vehicles considering Auto-Oscillation Characteristics by Daijin Li, Fengjie Li, Kan Qin, Chuang Huang, Kai Luo

“…By deriving the equation describing the cavity/vehicle relationship and identifying the maximum amplitude of the Euler angle, the cavity/vehicle tangent point criterion is proposed to determine the theoretical optimum value of the length of the conical section. A method of equal cross-sectional area for gas flow is proposed to design the streamlined shape of the conical section. …”

Global threshold dynamics in an HIV virus model with nonlinear infection rate and distributed invasion and production delays by Zhaohui Yuan, Xingfu Zou

“…By constructing Lyapunov functionals and subtleestimates of the derivatives of these Lyapunov functionals, we shownthat the model has the threshold dynamics: if the basicreproduction number (BRN) is less than or equal to one, then theinfection free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable,meaning that HIV virus will be cleared; whereas if the BRN is largerthan one, then there exist an infected equilibrium which is globallyasymptotically stable, implying that the HIV-1 infection willpersist in the host and the viral concentration will approach apositive constant level. …”
