A study associated with critical level resonance in 2D flow over isolated ridges.
Waxy Crude Oils (WCO’s) are characterized by the presence of heavy paraffins in sufficiently large concentrations. They exhibit quite complex thermodynamical and rheological behaviour and present the peculiar property of giving rise to the formation of segregated wax deposits, when temperature falls down the so called WAT, or Wax Appearance Temperature. In extreme cases, segregated waxes may lead to pipeline occlusion due to deposition on cold walls....
The paper is devoted to the computation of two-phase flows in a porous medium when applying the two-fluid approach. The basic formulation is presented first, together with the main properties of the model. A few basic analytic solutions are then provided, some of them corresponding to solutions of the one-dimensional Riemann problem. Three distinct Finite-Volume schemes are then introduced. The first two schemes, which rely on the Rusanov scheme, are shown to give wrong approximations in some...
The discretisation of the Oseen problem by finite element methods may suffer in general from two shortcomings. First, the discrete inf-sup (Babuška-Brezzi) condition can be violated. Second, spurious oscillations occur due to the dominating convection. One way to overcome both difficulties is the use of local projection techniques. Studying the local projection method in an abstract setting, we show that the fulfilment of a local inf-sup condition between approximation and projection spaces...
A uniqueness criterion is given for the weak solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in the stationary case. Precisely, it is proved that, for a generic known term, there exists one and only one solution such that the mechanical power of the corresponding flow is maximum and that this maximum is "stable" in an appropriate sense.
We consider a continuum model describing steady flows of a miscible mixture of two fluids. The densities of the fluids and their velocity fields are prescribed at infinity: , . Neglecting the convective terms, we have proved earlier that weak solutions to such a reduced system exist. Here we establish a uniqueness type result: in the absence of the external forces and interaction terms, there is only one such solution, namely , , .
It is proved that there can exist at most one solution of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations in 3-dimensional space which is approximable by a given consistent and regular approximation scheme.
In questa Nota si fornisce un teorema di unicità per soluzioni regolari delle equazioni di Navier-Stokes in domini esterni. Tale teorema non richiede che le velocità tendano ad un prefissato limite all'infinito, mentre il gradiente di pressione è supposto essere di -ma potenza sommabile nel cilindro spazio-temporale . Questo risultato non può essere ulteriormente generalizzato al caso , a causa di noti controesempi.
