Free-energy-dissipative schemes for the Oldroyd-B model

Sébastien Boyaval, Tony Lelièvre, Claude Mangoubi (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this article, we analyze the stability of various numerical schemes for differential models of viscoelastic fluids. More precisely, we consider the prototypical Oldroyd-B model, for which a free energy dissipation holds, and we show under which assumptions such a dissipation is also satisfied for the numerical scheme. Among the numerical schemes we analyze, we consider some discretizations based on the log-formulation of the Oldroyd-B system proposed by Fattal and Kupferman in [J. Non-Newtonian...

Full discretization of some reaction diffusion equation with blow up

Geneviève Barro, Benjamin Mampassi, Longin Some, Jean Ntaganda, Ousséni So (2006)

Open Mathematics

This paper aims at the development of numerical schemes for nonlinear reaction diffusion problems with a convection that blows up in a finite time. A full discretization of this problem that preserves the blow - up property is presented as well as a numerical simulation. Efficiency of the method is derived via a numerical comparison with a classical scheme based on the Runge Kutta scheme.

Fully adaptive multiresolution schemes for strongly degenerate parabolic equations in one space dimension

Raimund Bürger, Ricardo Ruiz, Kai Schneider, Mauricio Sepúlveda (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present a fully adaptive multiresolution scheme for spatially one-dimensional quasilinear strongly degenerate parabolic equations with zero-flux and periodic boundary conditions. The numerical scheme is based on a finite volume discretization using the Engquist-Osher numerical flux and explicit time stepping. An adaptive multiresolution scheme based on cell averages is then used to speed up the CPU time and the memory requirements of the underlying finite volume scheme, whose first-order...

Galerkin approximations for the linear parabolic equation with the third boundary condition

István Faragó, Sergey Korotov, Pekka Neittaanmäki (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

We solve a linear parabolic equation in d , d 1 , with the third nonhomogeneous boundary condition using the finite element method for discretization in space, and the θ -method for discretization in time. The convergence of both, the semidiscrete approximations and the fully discretized ones, is analysed. The proofs are based on a generalization of the idea of the elliptic projection. The rate of convergence is derived also for variable time step-sizes.

Generalized Harten formalism and longitudinal variation diminishing schemes for linear advection on arbitrary grids

Bruno Després, Frédéric Lagoutière (2001)

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

We study a family of non linear schemes for the numerical solution of linear advection on arbitrary grids in several space dimension. A proof of weak convergence of the family of schemes is given, based on a new Longitudinal Variation Diminishing (LVD) estimate. This estimate is a multidimensional equivalent to the well-known TVD estimate in one dimension. The proof uses a corollary of the Perron-Frobenius theorem applied to a generalized Harten formalism.

Godunov method for nonconservative hyperbolic systems

María Luz Muñoz-Ruiz, Carlos Parés (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper is concerned with the numerical approximation of Cauchy problems for one-dimensional nonconservative hyperbolic systems. The theory developed by Dal Maso et al. [J. Math. Pures Appl.74 (1995) 483–548] is used in order to define the weak solutions of the system: an interpretation of the nonconservative products as Borel measures is given, based on the choice of a family of paths drawn in the phase space. Even if the family of paths can be chosen arbitrarily, it is natural to require this...

Hermite pseudospectral method for nonlinear partial differential equations

Ben-yu Guo, Cheng-long Xu (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Hermite polynomial interpolation is investigated. Some approximation results are obtained. As an example, the Burgers equation on the whole line is considered. The stability and the convergence of proposed Hermite pseudospectral scheme are proved strictly. Numerical results are presented.

High degree precision decomposition method for the evolution problem with an operator under a split form

Zurab Gegechkori, Jemal Rogava, Mikheil Tsiklauri (2002)

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

In the present work the symmetrized sequential-parallel decomposition method of the third degree precision for the solution of Cauchy abstract problem with an operator under a split form, is presented. The third degree precision is reached by introducing a complex coefficient with the positive real part. For the considered schema the explicit a priori estimation is obtained.

High order approximation of probabilistic shock profiles in hyperbolic conservation laws with uncertain initial data

Christoph Schwab, Svetlana Tokareva (2013)

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

We analyze the regularity of random entropy solutions to scalar hyperbolic conservation laws with random initial data. We prove regularity theorems for statistics of random entropy solutions like expectation, variance, space-time correlation functions and polynomial moments such as gPC coefficients. We show how regularity of such moments (statistical and polynomial chaos) of random entropy solutions depends on the regularity of the distribution law of the random shock location of the initial data....

High order semi-lagrangian particle methods for transport equations: numerical analysis and implementation issues

G.-H. Cottet, J.-M. Etancelin, F. Perignon, C. Picard (2014)

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

This paper is devoted to the definition, analysis and implementation of semi-Lagrangian methods as they result from particle methods combined with remeshing. We give a complete consistency analysis of these methods, based on the regularity and momentum properties of the remeshing kernels, and a stability analysis of a large class of second and fourth order methods. This analysis is supplemented by numerical illustrations. We also describe a general approach to implement these methods in the context...

Highly anisotropic nonlinear temperature balance equation and its numerical solution using asymptotic-preserving schemes of second order in time

Alexei Lozinski, Jacek Narski, Claudia Negulescu (2014)

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

This paper deals with the numerical study of a nonlinear, strongly anisotropic heat equation. The use of standard schemes in this situation leads to poor results, due to the high anisotropy. An Asymptotic-Preserving method is introduced in this paper, which is second-order accurate in both, temporal and spacial variables. The discretization in time is done using an L-stable Runge−Kutta scheme. The convergence of the method is shown to be independent of the anisotropy parameter , and this for fixed...

Hybrid central-upwind schemes for numerical resolution of two-phase flows

Steinar Evje, Tore Flåtten (2005)

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

In this paper we present a methodology for constructing accurate and efficient hybrid central-upwind (HCU) type schemes for the numerical resolution of a two-fluid model commonly used by the nuclear and petroleum industry. Particularly, we propose a method which does not make use of any information about the eigenstructure of the jacobian matrix of the model. The two-fluid model possesses a highly nonlinear pressure law. From the mass conservation equations we develop an evolution equation which...
