A modified Cayley transform for the discretized Navier-Stokes equations

K. A. Cliffe, T. J. Garratt, Alastair Spence (1993)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper is concerned with the problem of computing a small number of eigenvalues of large sparse generalized eigenvalue problems. The matrices arise from mixed finite element discretizations of time dependent equations modelling viscous incompressible flow. The eigenvalues of importance are those with smallest real part and are used to determine the linearized stability of steady states, and could be used in a scheme to detect Hopf bifurcations. We introduce a modified Cayley transform of the...

A multi-D model for Raman amplification

Mathieu Colin, Thierry Colin (2011)

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

In this paper, we continue the study of the Raman amplification in plasmas that we initiated in [Colin and Colin, Diff. Int. Eqs. 17 (2004) 297–330; Colin and Colin, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 193 (2006) 535–562]. We point out that the Raman instability gives rise to three components. The first one is collinear to the incident laser pulse and counter propagates. In 2-D, the two other ones make a non-zero angle with the initial pulse and propagate forward. Furthermore they are symmetric with respect...

A multidimensional fluctuation splitting scheme for the three dimensional Euler equations

Jérôme Bastin, Gilbert Rogé (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The fluctuation splitting schemes were introduced by Roe in the beginning of the 80's and have been then developed since then, essentially thanks to Deconinck. In this paper, the fluctuation splitting schemes formalism is recalled. Then, the hyperbolic/elliptic decomposition of the three dimensional Euler equations is presented. This decomposition leads to an acoustic subsystem and two scalar advection equations, one of them being the entropy advection. Thanks to this decomposition, the two scalar...

A multilayer Saint-Venant system with mass exchanges for shallow water flows. Derivation and numerical validation

Emmanuel Audusse, Marie-Odile Bristeau, Benoît Perthame, Jacques Sainte-Marie (2011)

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

The standard multilayer Saint-Venant system consists in introducing fluid layers that are advected by the interfacial velocities. As a consequence there is no mass exchanges between these layers and each layer is described by its height and its average velocity. Here we introduce another multilayer system with mass exchanges between the neighboring layers where the unknowns are a total height of water and an average velocity per layer. We derive it from Navier-Stokes system with an hydrostatic pressure...

A multi-model approach to Saint-Venant equations: A stability study by LMIs

Valérie Dos Santos Martins, Mickael Rodrigues, Mamadou Diagne (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper deals with the stability study of the nonlinear Saint-Venant Partial Differential Equation (PDE). The proposed approach is based on the multi-model concept which takes into account some Linear Time Invariant (LTI) models defined around a set of operating points. This method allows describing the dynamics of this nonlinear system in an infinite dimensional space over a wide operating range. A stability analysis of the nonlinear Saint-Venant PDE is proposed both by using Linear Matrix Inequalities...

A multiplicative Schwarz method and its application to nonlinear acoustic-structure interaction

Roland Ernst, Bernd Flemisch, Barbara Wohlmuth (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

A new Schwarz method for nonlinear systems is presented, constituting the multiplicative variant of a straightforward additive scheme. Local convergence can be guaranteed under suitable assumptions. The scheme is applied to nonlinear acoustic-structure interaction problems. Numerical examples validate the theoretical results. Further improvements are discussed by means of introducing overlapping subdomains and employing an inexact strategy for the local solvers.

A multiscale mortar multipoint flux mixed finite element method

Mary Fanett Wheeler, Guangri Xue, Ivan Yotov (2012)

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

In this paper, we develop a multiscale mortar multipoint flux mixed finite element method for second order elliptic problems. The equations in the coarse elements (or subdomains) are discretized on a fine grid scale by a multipoint flux mixed finite element method that reduces to cell-centered finite differences on irregular grids. The subdomain grids do not have to match across the interfaces. Continuity of flux between coarse elements is imposed via a mortar finite element space on a coarse grid...
