Discretization methods with analytical characteristic methods for advection-diffusion-reaction equations and 2d applications

Jürgen Geiser (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Our studies are motivated by a desire to model long-time simulations of possible scenarios for a waste disposal. Numerical methods are developed for solving the arising systems of convection-diffusion-dispersion-reaction equations, and the received results of several discretization methods are presented. We concentrate on linear reaction systems, which can be solved analytically. In the numerical methods, we use large time-steps to achieve long simulation times of about 10 000 years. We propose...

Efficient reduced-basis treatment of nonaffine and nonlinear partial differential equations

Martin A. Grepl, Yvon Maday, Ngoc C. Nguyen, Anthony T. Patera (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, we extend the reduced-basis approximations developed earlier for linear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations with affine parameter dependence to problems involving (a) nonaffine dependence on the parameter, and (b) nonlinear dependence on the field variable. The method replaces the nonaffine and nonlinear terms with a coefficient function approximation which then permits an efficient offline-online computational decomposition. We first review the coefficient function...

Error Control and Andaptivity for a Phase Relaxation Model

Zhiming Chen, Ricardo H. Nochetto, Alfred Schmidt (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The phase relaxation model is a diffuse interface model with small parameter ε which consists of a parabolic PDE for temperature θ and an ODE with double obstacles for phase variable χ. To decouple the system a semi-explicit Euler method with variable step-size τ is used for time discretization, which requires the stability constraint τ ≤ ε. Conforming piecewise linear finite elements over highly graded simplicial meshes with parameter h are further employed for space discretization. A posteriori...

Existence and asymptotics of solutions of the Debye-Nernst-Planck system in ℝ²

Agnieszka Herczak, Michał Olech (2009)

Banach Center Publications

We investigate a system describing electrically charged particles in the whole space ℝ². Our main goal is to describe large time behavior of solutions which start their evolution from initial data of small size. This is achieved using radially symmetric self-similar solutions.

Existence and nonexistence results for a class of linear and semilinear parabolic equations related to some Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities

Boumediene Abdellaoui, Eduardo Colorado, Ireneo Peral (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In this work we study the problem u t div ( | x | 2 γ u ) = λ u α | x | 2 ( γ + 1 ) + f in Ω × ( 0 , T ) , u 0 in Ω × ( 0 , T ) , u = 0 on Ω × ( 0 , T ) , u ( x , 0 ) = u 0 ( x ) in Ω , Ω N ( N 2 ) is a bounded regular domain such that 0 Ω , λ > 0 , α > 0 , - < γ < ( N 2 ) / 2 , f and u 0 are positive functions such...
