Numerical boundary layers for hyperbolic systems in 1-D

Claire Chainais-Hillairet, Emmanuel Grenier (2001)

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

The aim of this paper is to investigate the stability of boundary layers which appear in numerical solutions of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension on regular meshes. We prove stability under a size condition for Lax Friedrichs type schemes and inconditionnal stability in the scalar case. Examples of unstable boundary layers are also given.

Numerical comparisons of two long-wave limit models

Stéphane Labbé, Lionel Paumond (2004)

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

The Benney-Luke equation (BL) is a model for the evolution of three-dimensional weakly nonlinear, long water waves of small amplitude. In this paper we propose a nearly conservative scheme for the numerical resolution of (BL). Moreover, it is known (Paumond, Differential Integral Equations 16 (2003) 1039–1064; Pego and Quintero, Physica D 132 (1999) 476–496) that (BL) is linked to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation for almost one-dimensional waves propagating in one direction. We study here numerically...

Numerical computation of solitons for optical systems

Laurent Di Menza (2009)

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

In this paper, we present numerical methods for the determination of solitons, that consist in spatially localized stationary states of nonlinear scalar equations or coupled systems arising in nonlinear optics. We first use the well-known shooting method in order to find excited states (characterized by the number k of nodes) for the classical nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Asymptotics can then be derived in the limits of either large k are large nonlinear exponents σ . In a second part, we compute...
