Boundary conditions on artificial frontiers for incompressible and compressible Navier-Stokes equations

Charles-Henri Bruneau (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Non reflecting boundary conditions on artificial frontiers of the domain are proposed for both incompressible and compressible Navier-Stokes equations. For incompressible flows, the boundary conditions lead to a well-posed problem, convey properly the vortices without any reflections on the artificial limits and allow to compute turbulent flows at high Reynolds numbers. For compressible flows, the boundary conditions convey properly the vortices without any reflections on the artificial limits...

Boundary control and shape optimization for the robust design of bypass anastomoses under uncertainty

Toni Lassila, Andrea Manzoni, Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza (2013)

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

We review the optimal design of an arterial bypass graft following either a (i) boundary optimal control approach, or a (ii) shape optimization formulation. The main focus is quantifying and treating the uncertainty in the residual flow when the hosting artery is not completely occluded, for which the worst-case in terms of recirculation effects is inferred to correspond to a strong orifice flow through near-complete occlusion.A worst-case optimal control approach is applied to the steady Navier-Stokes...

Branching process associated with 2d-Navier Stokes equation.

Saïd Benachour, Bernard Roynette, Pierre Vallois (2001)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Ω being a bounded open set in R∙, with regular boundary, we associate with Navier-Stokes equation in Ω where the velocity is null on ∂Ω, a non-linear branching process (Yt, t ≥ 0). More precisely: Eω0(〈h,Yt〉) = 〈ω,h〉, for any test function h, where ω = rot u, u denotes the velocity solution of Navier-Stokes equation. The support of the random measure Yt increases or decreases in one unit when the underlying process hits ∂Ω; this stochastic phenomenon corresponds to the creation-annihilation of vortex...

Cell centered Galerkin methods for diffusive problems

Daniele A. Di Pietro (2012)

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

In this work we introduce a new class of lowest order methods for diffusive problems on general meshes with only one unknown per element. The underlying idea is to construct an incomplete piecewise affine polynomial space with optimal approximation properties starting from values at cell centers. To do so we borrow ideas from multi-point finite volume methods, although we use them in a rather different context. The incomplete polynomial space replaces classical complete polynomial spaces in discrete...

Chute stationnaire d’un solide dans un fluide visqueux incompressible au-dessus d’un plan incliné. Partie 2

M. Hillairet (2007)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Nous montrons dans cette étude l’existence de configurations stationnaires où une bille tombe le long d’un plan incliné sans le toucher. Nous donnons également des propriétés qualitatives de ces configurations. En particulier, nous nous intéressons à l’orientation du plan par rapport à la verticale quand la masse de la bille est proche de celle d’un volume équivalent de liquide i.e., quand l’écoulement autour de la bille est lent.

Computation of the drag force on a sphere close to a wall

David Gérard-Varet, Matthieu Hillairet (2012)

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

We consider the effect of surface roughness on solid-solid contact in a Stokes flow. Various models for the roughness are considered, and a unified methodology is given to derive the corresponding asymptotics of the drag force in the close-contact limit. In this way, we recover and clarify the various expressions that can be found in previous studies.

Conditions implying regularity of the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation

Stephen Montgomery-Smith (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

We obtain logarithmic improvements for conditions for regularity of the Navier-Stokes equation, similar to those of Prodi-Serrin or Beale-Kato-Majda. Some of the proofs make use of a stochastic approach involving Feynman-Kac-like inequalities. As part of our methods, we give a different approach to a priori estimates of Foiaş, Guillopé and Temam.

Conditions of Prodi-Serrin's type for local regularity of suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

Zdeněk Skalák (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In the context of suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations we present local conditions of Prodi-Serrin’s type on velocity 𝐯 and pressure p under which ( 𝐱 0 , t 0 ) Ω × ( 0 , T ) is a regular point of 𝐯 . The conditions are imposed exclusively on the outside of a sufficiently narrow space-time paraboloid with the vertex ( 𝐱 0 , t 0 ) and the axis parallel with the t -axis.
