Mathematical and numerical studies of non linear ferromagnetic materials

Patrick Joly, Olivier Vacus (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper we are interested in the numerical modeling of absorbing ferromagnetic materials obeying the non-linear Landau-Lifchitz-Gilbert law with respect to the propagation and scattering of electromagnetic waves. In this work we consider the 1D problem. We first show that the corresponding Cauchy problem has a unique global solution. We then derive a numerical scheme based on an appropriate modification of Yee's scheme, that we show to preserve some important properties of...

Simplifying numerical solution of constrained PDE systems through involutive completion

Bijan Mohammadi, Jukka Tuomela (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

When analysing general systems of PDEs, it is important first to find the involutive form of the initial system. This is because the properties of the system cannot in general be determined if the system is not involutive. We show that the notion of involutivity is also interesting from the numerical point of view. The use of the involutive form of the system allows one to consider quite general situations in a unified way. We illustrate our approach on the numerical solution of several...

Numerical modelling of river flow (numerical schemes for one type of nonconservative systems

Brandner, Marek, Egermaier, Jiří, Kopincová, Hana

Similarity:

In this paper we propose a new numerical scheme to simulate the river flow in the presence of a variable bottom surface. We use the finite volume method, our approach is based on the technique described by D. L. George for shallow water equations. The main goal is to construct the scheme, which is well balanced, i.e. maintains not only some special steady states but all steady states which can occur. Furthermore this should preserve nonnegativity of some quantities, which are essentially...

Numerical schemes for a three component Cahn-Hilliard model

Franck Boyer, Sebastian Minjeaud (2011)

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

Similarity:

In this article, we investigate numerical schemes for solving a three component Cahn-Hilliard model. The space discretization is performed by using a Galerkin formulation and the finite element method. Concerning the time discretization, the main difficulty is to write a scheme ensuring, at the discrete level, the decrease of the free energy and thus the stability of the method. We study three different schemes and prove existence and convergence theorems. Theoretical results are illustrated...
