Structural Evolution of the Taylor Vortices

Tian Ma, Shouhong Wang (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We classify in this article the structure and its transitions/evolution of the Taylor vortices with perturbations in one of the following categories: a) the Hamiltonian vector fields, b) the divergence-free vector fields, and c). the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations on the two-dimensional torus. This is part of a project oriented toward to developing a geometric theory of incompressible fluid flows in the physical spaces.

Structure of stable solutions of a one-dimensional variational problem

Nung Kwan Yip (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove the periodicity of all H2-local minimizers with low energy for a one-dimensional higher order variational problem. The results extend and complement an earlier work of Stefan Müller which concerns the structure of global minimizer. The energy functional studied in this work is motivated by the investigation of coherent solid phase transformations and the competition between the effects from regularization and formation of small scale structures. With a special choice of a bilinear double...

Study of a low Mach nuclear core model for two-phase flows with phase transition I: stiffened gas law

Manuel Bernard, Stéphane Dellacherie, Gloria Faccanoni, Bérénice Grec, Yohan Penel (2014)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In this paper, we are interested in modelling the flow of the coolant (water) in a nuclear reactor core. To this end, we use a monodimensional low Mach number model supplemented with the stiffened gas law. We take into account potential phase transitions by a single equation of state which describes both pure and mixture phases. In some particular cases, we give analytical steady and/or unsteady solutions which provide qualitative information about the flow. In the second part of the paper, we introduce...

Study of a three component Cahn-Hilliard flow model

Franck Boyer, Céline Lapuerta (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, we propose a new diffuse interface model for the study of three immiscible component incompressible viscous flows. The model is based on the Cahn-Hilliard free energy approach. The originality of our study lies in particular in the choice of the bulk free energy. We show that one must take care of this choice in order for the model to give physically relevant results. More precisely, we give conditions for the model to be well-posed and to satisfy algebraically and dynamically consistency...

Study of Anisotropic MHD system in Anisotropic Sobolev spaces

Jamel Ben Ameur, Ridha Selmi (2008)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Three-dimensional anisotropic magneto-hydrodynamical system is investigated in the whole space 3 . Existence and uniqueness results are proved in the anisotropic Sobolev space H 0 , s for s > 1 / 2 . Asymptotic behavior of the solution when the Rossby number goes to zero is studied. The proofs, where the incompressibility condition is crucial, use the energy method, an appropriate dyadic decomposition of the frequency space, product laws in anisotropic Sobolev spaces and Strichartz-type estimates.
