Maxwell equation boundary conditions on a conducting sheet
I'm having difficulties solving boundary conditions for an infinitely thin conducting layer in a presence of an alternating field.
I use the Maxwell equations:
$\nabla \cdot \mathbf B = 0$
$\nabla ...

Do spacelike junctions in the Thin-Shell Formalism imply energy nonconservation and counterintuitive wormholes?
The Thin Shell Formalism (MTW 1973 p.551ff) is used to properly paste together different vacuum solutions to the Einstein equations. At the junction of the two solutions is a hypersurface of matter – ...

What's the average position of oscillating particles in a box with periodic boundary conditions?
Imagine an open box repeating itself in a way that a if a particle crossing one of the box boundary is "teleported" on the opposite boundary (typical periodic boundary position in 3D).
Now put a ...

Interface condition for heat exchange
I would like to compute the heat distribution of a piece of metal with some surrounding material. The heat is assumed to propagate by diffusion, so inside the metal piece and also on the outside, the ...

Quantization and natural boundary conditions
The Euler-Lagrange equations follow from minimizing the action. Usually this is done with fixed (e.g. vanishing) boundary conditions such that we do not have to worry about any boundary terms. ...

How do I simulate a constant velocity flow in porous media
I am modelling gas combustion in porous media. Most contemporary models assume that the pressure drop from the porous media is small enough to disregard, but I want to include that in my ...

Periodic boundary condition on a Wave Function of a Particle in a Box
Until now solving the Schrodinger Equation for a particle in a box was relatively easy because the boundaries conditions imposed zero value on the wave function at the boundaries. But now I must find ...
