Regularity in kinetic formulations via averaging lemmas

Pierre-Emmanuel Jabin, Benoît Perthame (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We present a new class of averaging lemmas directly motivated by the question of regularity for different nonlinear equations or variational problems which admit a kinetic formulation. In particular they improve the known regularity for systems like γ = 3 in isentropic gas dynamics or in some variational problems arising in thin micromagnetic films. They also allow to obtain directly the best known regularizing effect in multidimensional scalar conservation laws. The new ingredient here is to use velocity...

Regularity of solutions of the fractional porous medium flow

Luis Caffarelli, Fernando Soria, Juan Luis Vázquez (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study a porous medium equation with nonlocal diffusion effects given by an inverse fractional Laplacian operator. The precise model is u t = · ( u ( - Δ ) - s u ) , 0 < s < 1 . The problem is posed in { x n , t } with nonnegative initial data u ( x , 0 ) that are integrable and decay at infinity. A previous paper has established the existence of mass-preserving, nonnegative weak solutions satisfying energy estimates and finite propagation. As main results we establish the boundedness and C α regularity of such weak solutions. Finally, we extend the existence...

Relaxation and numerical approximation of a two-fluid two-pressure diphasic model

Annalisa Ambroso, Christophe Chalons, Frédéric Coquel, Thomas Galié (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper is concerned with the numerical approximation of the solutions of a two-fluid two-pressure model used in the modelling of two-phase flows. We present a relaxation strategy for easily dealing with both the nonlinearities associated with the pressure laws and the nonconservative terms that are inherently present in the set of convective equations and that couple the two phases. In particular, the proposed approximate Riemann solver is given by explicit formulas, preserves the natural...

Relaxation models of phase transition flows

Philippe Helluy, Nicolas Seguin (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this work, we propose a general framework for the construction of pressure law for phase transition. These equations of state are particularly suitable for a use in a relaxation finite volume scheme. The approach is based on a constrained convex optimization problem on the mixture entropy. It is valid for both miscible and immiscible mixtures. We also propose a rough pressure law for modelling a super-critical fluid.
