Solutions of a nonhyperbolic pair of balance laws

Michael Sever (2005)

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

Similarity:

We describe a constructive algorithm for obtaining smooth solutions of a nonlinear, nonhyperbolic pair of balance laws modeling incompressible two-phase flow in one space dimension and time. Solutions are found as stationary solutions of a related hyperbolic system, based on the introduction of an artificial time variable. As may be expected for such nonhyperbolic systems, in general the solutions obtained do not satisfy both components of the given initial data. This deficiency may...

Convergence of implicit Finite Volume methods for scalar conservation laws with discontinuous flux function

Sébastien Martin, Julien Vovelle (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

This paper deals with the problem of numerical approximation in the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for a scalar conservation law with a flux function having finitely many discontinuities. The well-posedness of this problem was proved by Carrillo [  (2003) 687–705]. Classical numerical methods do not allow us to compute a numerical solution (due to the lack of regularity of the flux). Therefore, we propose an implicit Finite Volume method based on an equivalent formulation of the initial problem....

Convergence of discretization procedures for problems whose entropy solutions are uniquely characterized by additional relations

Rainer Ansorge (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Weak solutions of given problems are sometimes not necessarily unique. Relevant solutions are then picked out of the set of weak solutions by so-called entropy conditions. Connections between the original and the numerical entropy condition were often discussed in the particular case of scalar conservation laws, and also a general theory was presented in the literature for general scalar problems. The entropy conditions were realized by certain inequalities not generalizable to systems...

The minimum entropy principle for compressible fluid flows in a nozzle with discontinuous cross-section

Dietmar Kröner, Philippe G. LeFloch, Mai-Duc Thanh (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We consider the Euler equations for compressible fluids in a nozzle whose cross-section is variable and may contain discontinuities. We view these equations as a hyperbolic system in nonconservative form and investigate weak solutions in the sense of Dal Maso, LeFloch and Murat [ (1995) 483–548]. Observing that the entropy equality has a fully conservative form, we derive a minimum entropy principle satisfied by entropy solutions. We then establish the stability of a...
