A posteriori error estimates for vertex centered finite volume approximations of convection-diffusion-reaction equations

Mario Ohlberger (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper is devoted to the study of a posteriori error estimates for the scalar nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation c t + · ( 𝐮 f ( c ) ) - · ( D c ) + λ c = 0 . The estimates for the error between the exact solution and an upwind finite volume approximation to the solution are derived in the L1-norm, independent of the diffusion parameter D. The resulting a posteriori error estimate is used to define an grid adaptive solution algorithm for the finite volume scheme. Finally numerical experiments underline the applicability...

A priori error analysis of a fully-mixed finite element method for a two-dimensional fluid-solid interaction problem

Carolina Domínguez, Gabriel N. Gatica, Salim Meddahi, Ricardo Oyarzúa (2013)

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

We introduce and analyze a fully-mixed finite element method for a fluid-solid interaction problem in 2D. The model consists of an elastic body which is subject to a given incident wave that travels in the fluid surrounding it. Actually, the fluid is supposed to occupy an annular region, and hence a Robin boundary condition imitating the behavior of the scattered field at infinity is imposed on its exterior boundary, which is located far from the obstacle. The media are governed by the elastodynamic...

A Q -scheme for a class of systems of coupled conservation laws with source term. Application to a two-layer 1-D shadow water system

Manuel Castro, Jorge Macías, Carlos Parés (2001)

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

The goal of this paper is to construct a first-order upwind scheme for solving the system of partial differential equations governing the one-dimensional flow of two superposed immiscible layers of shallow water fluids. This is done by generalizing a numerical scheme presented by Bermúdez and Vázquez-Cendón [3, 26, 27] for solving one-layer shallow water equations, consisting in a Q -scheme with a suitable treatment of the source terms. The difficulty in the two layer system comes from the coupling...

A quasi-Newton algorithm based on a reduced model for fluid-structure interaction problems in blood flows

Jean-Frédéric Gerbeau, Marina Vidrascu (2003)

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

We propose a quasi-Newton algorithm for solving fluid-structure interaction problems. The basic idea of the method is to build an approximate tangent operator which is cost effective and which takes into account the so-called added mass effect. Various test cases show that the method allows a significant reduction of the computational effort compared to relaxed fixed point algorithms. We present 2D and 3D fluid-structure simulations performed either with a simple 1D structure model or with shells...

A reduced basis element method for the steady Stokes problem

Alf Emil Løvgren, Yvon Maday, Einar M. Rønquist (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The reduced basis element method is a new approach for approximating the solution of problems described by partial differential equations. The method takes its roots in domain decomposition methods and reduced basis discretizations. The basic idea is to first decompose the computational domain into a series of subdomains that are deformations of a few reference domains (or generic computational parts). Associated with each reference domain are precomputed solutions corresponding to the same...

A reduced model for Darcy’s problem in networks of fractures

Luca Formaggia, Alessio Fumagalli, Anna Scotti, Paolo Ruffo (2014)

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

Subsurface flows are influenced by the presence of faults and large fractures which act as preferential paths or barriers for the flow. In literature models were proposed to handle fractures in a porous medium as objects of codimension 1. In this work we consider the case of a network of intersecting fractures, with the aim of deriving physically consistent and effective interface conditions to impose at the intersection between fractures. This new model accounts for the angle between fractures...

A regularity criterion for the 2D MHD and viscoelastic fluid equations

Zhuan Ye (2015)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This paper is dedicated to a regularity criterion for the 2D MHD equations and viscoelastic equations. We prove that if the magnetic field B, respectively the local deformation gradient F, satisfies B , F L q ( 0 , T ; L p ( ² ) ) for 1/p + 1/q = 1 and 2 < p ≤ ∞, then the corresponding local solution can be extended beyond time T.
