Two shallow-water type models for viscoelastic flows from kinetic theory for polymers solutions

Gladys Narbona-Reina, Didier Bresch (2013)

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

Similarity:

In this work, depending on the relation between the Deborah, the Reynolds and the aspect ratio numbers, we formally derived shallow-water type systems starting from a micro-macro description for non-Newtonian fluids in a thin domain governed by an elastic dumbbell type model with a slip boundary condition at the bottom. The result has been announced by the authors in [G. Narbona-Reina, D. Bresch, Springer Verlag (2010)] and in the present paper, we provide a self-contained description,...

Interface model coupling via prescribed local flux balance

Annalisa Ambroso, Christophe Chalons, Frédéric Coquel, Thomas Galié (2014)

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

Similarity:

This paper deals with the non-conservative coupling of two one-dimensional barotropic Euler systems at an interface at = 0. The closure pressure laws differ in the domains < 0 and > 0, and a Dirac source term concentrated at = 0 models singular pressure losses. We propose two numerical methods. The first one relies on ghost state reconstructions at the interface while the second is based on a suitable relaxation framework. Both methods satisfy a well-balanced property...

A multi-D model for Raman amplification

Mathieu Colin, Thierry Colin (2011)

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

Similarity:

In this paper, we continue the study of the Raman amplification in plasmas that we initiated in [Colin and Colin, 17 (2004) 297–330; Colin and Colin, 193 (2006) 535–562]. We point out that the Raman instability gives rise to three components. The first one is collinear to the incident laser pulse and counter propagates. In 2-D, the two other ones make a non-zero angle with the initial pulse and propagate forward. Furthermore they are symmetric with respect to the direction of propagation...

An anti-diffusive Lagrange-Remap scheme for multi-material compressible flows with an arbitrary number of components

Marie Billaud Friess, Samuel Kokh (2012)

ESAIM: Proceedings

Similarity:

We propose a method dedicated to the simulation of interface flows involving an arbitrary number of compressible components. Our task is two-fold: we first introduce a -component flow model that generalizes the two-material five-equation model of [2,3]. Then, we present a discretization strategy by means of a Lagrange-Remap [8,10] approach following the lines of [5,7,12]. The projection step involves an anti-dissipative mechanism derived from [11,12]. This feature allows to prevent...

Analysis of an Asymptotic Preserving Scheme for Relaxation Systems

Francis Filbet, Amélie Rambaud (2013)

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

Similarity:

We consider an asymptotic preserving numerical scheme initially proposed by F. Filbet and S. Jin [229 (2010)] and G. Dimarco and L. Pareschi [49 (2011) 2057–2077] in the context of nonlinear and stiff kinetic equations. Here, we propose a convergence analysis of such a scheme for the approximation of a system of transport equations with a nonlinear source term, for which the asymptotic limit is given by a conservation law. We investigate the convergence of the approximate solution ( ...

Comparative Study of a Solid Film Dewetting in an Attractive Substrate Potentials with the Exponential and the Algebraic Decay

M. Khenner (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

We compare dewetting characteristics of a thin nonwetting solid film in the absence of stress, for two models of a wetting potential: the exponential and the algebraic. The exponential model is a one-parameter () model, and the algebraic model is a two-parameter (, ) model, where is the ratio of the characteristic wetting length to the height of the unperturbed film, and is the exponent of (film height) in a smooth function that interpolates the system's surface energy above and...

Spectral Galerkin approximation of Fokker-Planck equations with unbounded drift

David J. Knezevic, Endre Süli (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the analysis and implementation of spectral Galerkin methods for a class of Fokker-Planck equations that arises from the kinetic theory of dilute polymers. A relevant feature of the class of equations under consideration from the viewpoint of mathematical analysis and numerical approximation is the presence of an unbounded drift coefficient, involving a smooth convex potential that is equal to +∞ along the boundary ∂ of the computational domain . Using...

Multiscale modelling of sound propagation through the lung parenchyma

Paul Cazeaux, Jan S. Hesthaven (2014)

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

Similarity:

In this paper we develop and study numerically a model to describe some aspects of sound propagation in the human lung, considered as a deformable and viscoelastic porous medium (the parenchyma) with millions of alveoli filled with air. Transmission of sound through the lung above 1 kHz is known to be highly frequency-dependent. We pursue the key idea that the viscoelastic parenchyma structure is highly heterogeneous on the small scale and use two-scale homogenization techniques to...
