Transient Flows of Newtonian Fluid through a Rectangular Microchannel with Slip Boundary by Benchawan Wiwatanapataphee, Yong Hong Wu, Suharsono Suharsono

“…It is found that, for different forms of driving pressure field, the effect of boundary slip on the flow behavior is qualitatively different. If the pressure gradient is constant, the flow rate is almost linearly proportional to the slip parameter l when l is large; if the pressure gradient is in a waveform, as the slip parameter l increases, the amplitude of the flow rate increases until approaching a constant value when l becomes sufficiently large.…”

Asymptotic and numerical solutions for diffusion models for compounded risk reserves with dividend payments by S. Shao, C. L. Chang

“…After defining the process of conditional probability in finite time, martingale theory turns the nonlinear stochastic differential equation to a special class of boundary value problems defined by a parabolic equation with a nonsmooth coefficient of the convection term. Based on the behavior of the total income flow, asymptotic and numerical methods are used to solve the special class of diffusion equations which govern the conditional ruin probability over finite time.…”
