Solving the Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality with a semi-smooth Newton method

Luise Blank, Martin Butz, Harald Garcke (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality is a non-standard parabolic variational inequality of fourth order for which straightforward numerical approaches cannot be applied. We propose a primal-dual active set method which can be interpreted as a semi-smooth Newton method as solution technique for the discretized Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality. A (semi-)implicit Euler discretization is used in time and a piecewise linear finite element discretization of splitting type is used in space leading...

Some new results on a Stefan problem in a concentrated capacity

Enrico Magenes (1992)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

An existence and uniqueness theorem for a nonlinear parabolic system of partial differential equations, connected with the theory of heat conduction with a transition phase in a concentrated capacity, is given in sufficiently general hypotheses on the data.

Some qualitative results for the linear theory of binary mixtures of thermoelastic solids.

F. Martínez, R. Quintanilla (1995)

Collectanea Mathematica

In this paper we study the linear thermodynamical problem of mixtures of thermoelastic solids. We use some results of the semigroup theory to obtain an existence theorem for the initial value problem with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Continuous dependence of solutions upon the initial data and body forces is also established. We finish with a study of the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the homogeneous problem.

Spectral Numerical Study of a Problem Governed by Navier-Stokes Equations, Influence of Rayleigh and Prandtl Numbers

E. El Guarmah, A. Cheddadi (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We present in this work a numerical study of a problem governed by Navier-Stokes equations and heat equation. The mathematical problem under consideration is obtained by modelling the natural convection of an incompressible fluid, in laminar flow between two horizontal concentric coaxial cylinders, the temperature of the inner cylinder is supposed to be greater than the outer one. The numerical simulation of the flow is carried out by collocation-Legendre...

Stability and convergence of two discrete schemes for a degenerate solutal non-isothermal phase-field model

Francisco Guillén-González, Juan Vicente Gutiérrez-Santacreu (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We analyze two numerical schemes of Euler type in time and C0 finite-element type with 1 -approximation in space for solving a phase-field model of a binary alloy with thermal properties. This model is written as a highly non-linear parabolic system with three unknowns: phase-field, solute concentration and temperature, where the diffusion for the temperature and solute concentration may degenerate. The first scheme is nonlinear, unconditionally stable and convergent. The other scheme is linear...

Stability of a model for the Belousov-Zhabotinskij reaction

Vladimír Haluška (1989)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper deals with the Field-Körös-Noyes' model of the Belousov-Yhabotinskij reaction. By means of the method of the Ljapunov function a sufficient condition is determined that the non-trivial critical point of this model be asymptotically stable with respect to a certain set.

Steady-state buoyancy-driven viscous flow with measure data

Tomáš Roubíček (2001)

Mathematica Bohemica

Steady-state system of equations for incompressible, possibly non-Newtonean of the p -power type, viscous flow coupled with the heat equation is considered in a smooth bounded domain Ω n , n = 2 or 3, with heat sources allowed to have a natural L 1 -structure and even to be measures. The existence of a distributional solution is shown by a fixed-point technique for sufficiently small data if p > 3 / 2 (for n = 2 ) or if p > 9 / 5 (for n = 3 ).
