Convergence of the rotating fluids system in a domain with rough boundaries

David Gérard-Varet — 2003

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

We consider a rotating fluid in a domain with rough horizontal boundaries. The Rossby number, kinematic viscosity and roughness are supposed of characteristic size ϵ . We prove a convergence theorem on solutions of Navier-Stokes Coriolis equations, as ϵ goes to zero, in the well prepared case. We show in particular that the limit system is a two-dimensional Euler equation with a nonlinear damping term due to boundary layers. We thus generalize the results obtained on flat boundaries with the classical...

Computation of the drag force on a sphere close to a wall

David Gérard-VaretMatthieu Hillairet — 2012

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider the effect of surface roughness on solid-solid contact in a Stokes flow. Various models for the roughness are considered, and a unified methodology is given to derive the corresponding asymptotics of the drag force in the close-contact limit. In this way, we recover and clarify the various expressions that can be found in previous studies.

On shape optimization problems involving the fractional laplacian

Anne-Laure DalibardDavid Gérard-Varet — 2013

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Our concern is the computation of optimal shapes in problems involving (−). We focus on the energy (Ω) associated to the solution of the basic Dirichlet problem ( − )  = 1 in Ω,  = 0 in Ω. We show that regular minimizers Ω of this energy under a volume constraint are disks. Our proof goes through the explicit computation of the shape derivative (that seems to be completely new in the fractional context), and a refined adaptation of the moving plane...

A zoology of boundary layers.

In meteorology and magnetohydrodynamics many different boundary layers appear. Some of them are already mathematically well known, like Ekman or Hartmann layers. Others remain unstudied, and can be much more complex. The aim of this paper is to give a simple and unified presentation of the main boundary layers, and to propose a simple method to derive their sizes and equations.

Sur l’équation de Prandtl

David Gérard-VaretEmmanuel Dormy

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

L’objet de cette note est le problème de Cauchy pour l’équation de Prandtl, dans des espaces de régularité Sobolev. Nous discutons de façon synthétique des résultats récents [], établissant le caractère fortement linéairement mal posé de ce problème.

Homogenization in polygonal domains

David Gérard-VaretNader Masmoudi — 2011

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the homogenization of elliptic systems with ε -periodic coefficients. Classical two-scale approximation yields an O ( ε ) error inside the domain. We discuss here the existence of higher order corrections, in the case of general polygonal domains. The corrector depends in a non-trivial way on the boundary. Our analysis substantially extends previous results obtained for polygonal domains with sides of rational slopes.

Quasineutral limit of the Euler-Poisson system for ions in a domain with boundaries II

David Gérard-VaretDaniel Han-KwanFrédéric Rousset — 2014

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

In this paper, we study the quasineutral limit of the isothermal Euler-Poisson equation for ions, in a domain with boundary. This is a follow-up to our previous work [], devoted to no-penetration as well as subsonic outflow boundary conditions. We focus here on the case of supersonic outflow velocities. The structure of the boundary layers and the stabilization mechanism are different.

Wall laws for viscous fluids near rough surfaces

Dorin BucurAnne-Laure DalibardDavid Gérard-Varet — 2012

ESAIM: Proceedings

In this paper, we review recent results on wall laws for viscous fluids near rough surfaces, of small amplitude and wavelength ε. When the surface is “genuinely rough”, the wall law at first order is the Dirichlet wall law: the fluid satisfies a “no-slip” boundary condition on the homogenized surface. We compare the various mathematical characterizations of genuine roughness, and the corresponding homogenization results....
