On Jeffreys model of heat conduction

Maksymilian Dryja, Krzysztof Moszyński (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The Jeffreys model of heat conduction is a system of two partial differential equations of mixed hyperbolic and parabolic character. The analysis of an initial-boundary value problem for this system is given. Existence and uniqueness of a weak solution of the problem under very weak regularity assumptions on the data is proved. A finite difference approximation of this problem is discussed as well. Stability and convergence of the discrete problem are proved.

On Large Eddy Simulation and Variational Multiscale Methods in the numerical simulation of turbulent incompressible flows

Volker John (2006)

Applications of Mathematics

Numerical simulation of turbulent flows is one of the great challenges in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In general, Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is not feasible due to limited computer resources (performance and memory), and the use of a turbulence model becomes necessary. The paper will discuss several aspects of two approaches of turbulent modeling—Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Variational Multiscale (VMS) models. Topics which will be addressed are the detailed derivation of these...

On mathematical modelling of gust response using the finite element method

Sváček, Petr, Horáček, Jaromír (2013)

Applications of Mathematics 2013

In this paper the numerical approximation of aeroelastic response to sudden gust is presented. The fully coupled formulation of two dimensional incompressible viscous fluid flow over a flexibly supported structure is used. The flow is modelled with the system of Navier-Stokes equations written in Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian form and coupled with system of ordinary differential equations describing the airfoil vibrations with two degrees of freedom. The Navier-Stokes equations are spatially discretized...

On mesh independence and Newton-type methods

Owe Axelsson (1993)

Applications of Mathematics

Mesh-independent convergence of Newton-type methods for the solution of nonlinear partial differential equations is discussed. First, under certain local smoothness assumptions, it is shown that by properly relating the mesh parameters H and h for a coarse and a fine discretization mesh, it suffices to compute the solution of the nonlinear equation on the coarse mesh and subsequently correct it once using the linearized (Newton) equation on the fine mesh. In this way the iteration error will be...
