Let and . Snell law for elastic waves fixes the reflected waves' common tangential wavenumber:
Choose the reflected SV-wave and converted reflected P wave as
The polarizations are respectively perpendicular and parallel to their wavevectors. Phase matching makes all three exponential factors equal at . The rigid boundary condition for an elastic wave there gives
Solving this two-by-two linear system yields
These fields give the Reflection of an SV-wave from a rigid plane.
The first letters of the blocked source contain exactly the first letters of the original source, so
If the original information rate is , then
Thus fixed-length blocking multiplies information rate by , exactly as recorded by information rate under fixed-length blocking.
Let denote the bubble size, its speed, and the Reynolds number. Outside a thin boundary layer, inertia dominates and the flow is an irrotational flow with velocity scale and strain scale . Its viscous dissipation has order
in three dimensions.
The boundary-layer thickness is
For a clean bubble the stress-free boundary condition prescribes tangential stress rather than tangential velocity. The outer flow already has tangential strain of order , so cancelling that stress requires a velocity correction of only
not a correction of order . Its gradient remains , and its boundary-layer dissipation is
which is asymptotically smaller.
In steady translation, the drag power balances viscous dissipation. The leading estimate therefore follows from the known outer flow alone:
in three dimensions. This is the dissipation estimate for high-Reynolds-number bubble drag.
The Navier-Stokes equation for constant mass density , dynamic viscosity , and body force per unit mass is
where the Newtonian fluid stress tensor is
Taking the dot product with gives
Incompressibility implies
and converts the left side into a local time derivative plus the divergence of kinetic-energy flux. The divergence theorem therefore gives the kinetic-energy balance for an incompressible Newtonian fluid
The four terms are respectively outward advective transport of kinetic energy, mechanical power supplied by surface traction, power supplied by the body force, and irreversible viscous dissipation into heat.
Contracting the Riemann curvature tensor gives the nonzero components of the Ricci tensor:
The Ricci scalar is the contraction with the inverse metric. Therefore
It is independent of both coordinates, so the hyperbolic plane has constant negative scalar curvature.
Using the stated convention for the Riemann curvature tensor, the first independent component is
The other is
using the hyperbolic Pythagorean identity . Antisymmetry in the final two indices supplies the components with those indices reversed. These are the curvature of the two-dimensional hyperbolic polar metric components.
For an affine parameter , the geodesic equation and the connection coefficients from part (a) give
where dots denote derivatives with respect to .
On a line of constant , one has . The equations reduce to , so itself can be chosen as an affine parameter. Every such radial line is therefore a geodesic.
For a circle , the first equation instead requires
Both hyperbolic factors are positive when , so . This gives only a constant point, not a parametrized circle. Thus no circle of constant positive is a geodesic, in agreement with the coordinate geodesics of the hyperbolic polar metric.
For coordinates , the Christoffel symbols of the Levi-Civita connection are
where is the inverse metric.
For the two-dimensional hyperbolic metric in polar coordinates,
Only has a nonzero derivative, namely
It follows that the nonzero connection coefficients are
The condition implies . The small-argument expansion of the hyperbolic tangent gives , so
Using yields the entropic Hooke law for a one-dimensional chain
Thus the effective spring constant is .
At fixed tension, the exact extension is
Increasing the temperature decreases the positive argument of the hyperbolic tangent, so the chain contracts. In the small-extension regime this becomes
which is inversely proportional to .
If a physical tension acts on a state of extension , its mechanical energy is . The canonical ensemble therefore assigns that state the Boltzmann factor
Comparison with the statistical weight gives
Equivalently, is the thermodynamic conjugate variable to in the Gibbs free energy, just as pressure is conjugate to volume.
Substituting the fixed-tension partition function of a one-dimensional chain into the given free-energy definition gives
Differentiation with respect to the parameter conjugate to extension gives
The same result follows directly from the expected value under :
Consequently
Several microstates can have the same extension. If denotes their state degeneracy, grouping equal terms in the state sum gives
For the one-dimensional freely jointed chain, a macrostate with positive links and negative links has
Hence
The binomial theorem now gives the fixed-tension partition function of a one-dimensional chain
The mean extension in an ensemble of molecules is
with constraints and . For occupancies , the number of assignments of the distinguishable ensemble members to the states is the multinomial coefficient
Thus maximizing the probability at fixed and is equivalent to maximizing the stated Lagrange multiplier expression.
Because , the Stirling formula gives . Differentiating with respect to each gives
Normalization by therefore yields the probability mass function
Here is the fixed-tension partition function that normalizes the probabilities.
The extension of the one-dimensional freely jointed chain is
As the integer runs from to , the possible extensions are therefore
For fixed and , choosing which of the links point in the positive direction determines the microstate. The state degeneracy is consequently the binomial coefficient
