Conservative forms of Boltzmann's collision operator: Landau revisited
We show that Boltzmann's collision operator can be written explicitly in divergence and double divergence forms. These conservative formulations may be of interest for both theoretical and numerical purposes. We give an application to the asymptotics of grazing collisions.
Conservative numerical methods for a two-temperature resistive MHD model with self-generated magnetic field term
We propose numerical methods on Cartesian meshes for solving the 2-D axisymmetric two-temperature resistivive magnetohydrodynamics equations with self-generated magnetic field and Braginskii’s [1] closures. These rely on a splitting of the complete system in several subsystems according to the nature of the underlying mathematical operator. The hyperbolic part is solved using conservative high-order dimensionally split Lagrange-remap schemes whereas...
Constraint preserving schemes using potential-based fluxes. III. Genuinely multi-dimensional schemes for MHD equations∗∗∗
We design efficient numerical schemes for approximating the MHD equations in multi-dimensions. Numerical approximations must be able to deal with the complex wave structure of the MHD equations and the divergence constraint. We propose schemes based on the genuinely multi-dimensional (GMD) framework of [S. Mishra and E. Tadmor, Commun. Comput. Phys. 9 (2010) 688–710; S. Mishra and E. Tadmor, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 49 (2011) 1023–1045]. The schemes are formulated in terms of vertex-centered potentials....

Contact Angles of Sessile Droplets Deposited on Rough and Flat Surfaces in the Presence of External Fields
The paper proposes a general framework allowing the analysis of wetting problems in the situation when interfacial tensions depend on external fields. An equation predicting apparent contact angles of sessile droplets deposited on rough surfaces in the presence of external fields is derived. The problem of wetting is discussed in the framework of the variational approach. Derivation of a general equation generalizing the Cassie and Wenzel approaches...
Contaminant transport with adsorption in dual-well flow
Numerical approximation schemes are discussed for the solution of contaminant transport with adsorption in dual-well flow. The method is based on time stepping and operator splitting for the transport with adsorption and diffusion. The nonlinear transport is solved by Godunov’s method. The nonlinear diffusion is solved by a finite volume method and by Newton’s type of linearization. The efficiency of the method is discussed.

Continuous dependence of 2D large scale primitive equations on the boundary conditions in oceanic dynamics
In this paper, we consider an initial boundary value problem for the two-dimensional primitive equations of large scale oceanic dynamics. Assuming that the depth of the ocean is a positive constant, we establish rigorous a priori bounds of the solution to problem. With the aid of these a priori bounds, the continuous dependence of the solution on changes in the boundary terms is obtained.
Continuous-time finite element analysis of multiphase flow in groundwater hydrology
A nonlinear differential system for describing an air-water system in groundwater hydrology is given. The system is written in a fractional flow formulation, i.e., in terms of a saturation and a global pressure. A continuous-time version of the finite element method is developed and analyzed for the approximation of the saturation and pressure. The saturation equation is treated by a Galerkin finite element method, while the pressure equation is treated by a mixed finite element method. The analysis...

Control of the surface of a fluid by a wavemaker
The control of the surface of water in a long canal by means of a wavemaker is investigated. The fluid motion is governed by the Korteweg-de Vries equation in lagrangian coordinates. The null controllability of the elevation of the fluid surface is obtained thanks to a Carleman estimate and some weighted inequalities. The global uncontrollability is also established.

Control of transonic shock positions
We wish to show how the shock position in a nozzle could be controlled. Optimal control theory and algorithm is applied to the transonic equation. The difficulty is that the derivative with respect to the shock position involves a Dirac mass. The one dimensional case is solved, the two dimensional one is analyzed .
