In this paper, we consider the blow-up solutions for a quasilinear parabolic partial differential equation . We numerically investigate the blow-up rates of these solutions by using a numerical method which is recently proposed by the authors [3].
We present a hybrid finite-volume-particle numerical method for computing the transport of a passive pollutant by a flow. The flow is modeled by the one- and two-dimensional Saint-Venant system of shallow water equations and the pollutant propagation is described by a transport equation. This paper is an extension of our previous work [Chertock, Kurganov and Petrova, J. Sci. Comput. (to appear)], where the one-dimensional finite-volume-particle method has been proposed. The core idea behind the...

We study existence and some properties of solutions of the nonlinear elliptic equation N(x,a(u))Lu = f in unbounded domains. The above method is not a variational problem. Our techniques involve fixed point arguments and Galerkin method.
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...
The paper is concerned with the analysis of the space-time discontinuous Galerkin method (STDGM) applied to the numerical solution of the nonstationary nonlinear convection-diffusion initial-boundary value problem in a time-dependent domain formulated with the aid of the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method. In the formulation of the numerical scheme we use the nonsymmetric, symmetric and incomplete versions of the space discretization of diffusion terms and interior and boundary penalty....
This paper is concerned with the numerical approximations of Cauchy problems for one-dimensional nonconservative hyperbolic systems. The first goal is to introduce a general concept of well-balancing for numerical schemes solving this kind of systems. Once this concept stated, we investigate the well-balance properties of numerical schemes based on the generalized Roe linearizations introduced by [Toumi, J. Comp. Phys. 102 (1992) 360–373]. Next, this general theory is applied to obtain well-balanced...

The plane wave stability properties of the conservative schemes of Besse [SIAM J. Numer. Anal.42 (2004) 934–952] and Fei et al. [Appl. Math. Comput.71 (1995) 165–177] for the cubic Schrödinger equation are analysed. Although the two methods possess many of the same conservation properties, we show that their stability behaviour is very different. An energy preserving generalisation of the Fei method with improved stability is presented.
