Simulation of Indoor Humidity

Mária Minárová (2014)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

The paper deals with the moisture in the internal air of a modeling room. The problems connected with the undesired relative humidity of the indoor air are introduced, the reviewing of the hygric situation in the modeling room is described, the less or more precise models for relative humidity estimation depending on the influencing parameters are performed and the reasoning—when, why and how the particular models should be used, is added. As in particular hygric conditions some of the influencing...

Singular limit of a transmission problem for the parabolic phase-field model

Giulio Schimperna (2000)

Applications of Mathematics

A transmission problem describing the thermal interchange between two regions occupied by possibly different fluids, which may present phase transitions, is studied in the framework of the Caginalp-Fix phase field model. Dirichlet (or Neumann) and Cauchy conditions are required. A regular solution is obtained by means of approximation techniques for parabolic systems. Then, an asymptotic study of the problem is carried out as the time relaxation parameter for the phase field tends to 0 in one of...

Solvability of a class of phase field systems related to a sliding mode control problem

Michele Colturato (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider a phase-field system of Caginalp type perturbed by the presence of an additional maximal monotone nonlinearity. Such a system arises from a recent study of a sliding mode control problem. We prove the existence of strong solutions. Moreover, under further assumptions, we show the continuous dependence on the initial data and the uniqueness of the solution.

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.
