Formal passage from kinetic theory to incompressible Navier–Stokes equations for a mixture of gases

Marzia Bisi, Laurent Desvillettes (2014)

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

We present in this paper the formal passage from a kinetic model to the incompressible Navier−Stokes equations for a mixture of monoatomic gases with different masses. The starting point of this derivation is the collection of coupled Boltzmann equations for the mixture of gases. The diffusion coefficients for the concentrations of the species, as well as the ones appearing in the equations for velocity and temperature, are explicitly computed under the Maxwell molecule assumption in terms of the...

Free boundary problems and transonic shocks for the Euler equations in unbounded domains

Gui-Qiang Chen, Mikhail Feldman (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We establish the existence and stability of multidimensional transonic shocks (hyperbolic-elliptic shocks), which are not nearly orthogonal to the flow direction, for the Euler equations for steady compressible potential fluids in unbounded domains in n , n 3 . The Euler equations can be written as a second order nonlinear equation of mixed hyperbolic-elliptic type for the velocity potential. The transonic shock problem can be formulated into the following free boundary problem: The free boundary is the...

Free-energy-dissipative schemes for the Oldroyd-B model

Sébastien Boyaval, Tony Lelièvre, Claude Mangoubi (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this article, we analyze the stability of various numerical schemes for differential models of viscoelastic fluids. More precisely, we consider the prototypical Oldroyd-B model, for which a free energy dissipation holds, and we show under which assumptions such a dissipation is also satisfied for the numerical scheme. Among the numerical schemes we analyze, we consider some discretizations based on the log-formulation of the Oldroyd-B system proposed by Fattal and Kupferman in [J. Non-Newtonian...
