The well-posedness of a swimming model in the 3-D incompressible fluid governed by the nonstationary Stokes equation

Alexander Khapalov (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We introduce and investigate the well-posedness of a model describing the self-propelled motion of a small abstract swimmer in the 3-D incompressible fluid governed by the nonstationary Stokes equation, typically associated with low Reynolds numbers. It is assumed that the swimmer's body consists of finitely many subsequently connected parts, identified with the fluid they occupy, linked by rotational and elastic Hooke forces. Models like this are of interest in biological and engineering applications...

Theoretical analysis of the upwind finite volume scheme on the counter-example of Peterson

Daniel Bouche, Jean-Michel Ghidaglia, Frédéric P. Pascal (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

When applied to the linear advection problem in dimension two, the upwind finite volume method is a non consistent scheme in the finite differences sense but a convergent scheme. According to our previous paper [Bouche et al., SIAM J. Numer. Anal.43 (2005) 578–603], a sufficient condition in order to complete the mathematical analysis of the finite volume scheme consists in obtaining an estimation of order p, less or equal to one, of a quantity that depends only on the mesh and on the advection ...

Theoretical and numerical aspects of stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Anne de Bouard, Arnaud Debussche, Laurent Di Menza (2001)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

We describe several results obtained recently on stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equations. We show that under suitable smoothness assumptions on the noise, the nonlinear Schrödinger perturbed by an additive or multiplicative noise is well posed under similar assumptions on the nonlinear term as in the deterministic theory. Then, we restrict our attention to the case of a focusing nonlinearity with critical or supercritical exponent. If the noise is additive, smooth in space and non degenerate,...

Theoretical and numerical study of a quasi-linear Zakharov system describing Landau damping

R. Belaouar, T. Colin, G. Gallice, C. Galusinski (2006)

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

In this paper, we study a Zakharov system coupled to an electron diffusion equation in order to describe laser-plasma interactions. Starting from the Vlasov-Maxwell system, we derive a nonlinear Schrödinger like system which takes into account the energy exchanged between the plasma waves and the electrons via Landau damping. Two existence theorems are established in a subsonic regime. Using a time-splitting, spectral discretizations for the Zakharov system and a finite difference scheme for the...

Theory of Dilute Binary Granular Gas Mixtures

D. Serero, S. H. Noskowicz, I. Goldhirsch (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

A computer-aided method for accurately carrying out the Chapman-Enskog expansion of the Boltzmann equation, including its inelastic variant, is presented and employed to derive a hydrodynamic description of a dilute binary mixture of smooth inelastic spheres. Constitutive relations, formally valid for all physical values of the coefficients of restitution, are calculated by carrying out the pertinent Chapman-Enskog expansion to sufficient high orders in the Sonine polynomials to ensure numerical...
