Mathematical and numerical analysis of an alternative well-posed two-layer turbulence model

Bijan Mohammadi, Guillaume Puigt (2001)

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

In this article, we wish to investigate the behavior of a two-layer k - ε turbulence model from the mathematical point of view, as this model is useful for the near-wall treatment in numerical simulations. First, we explain the difficulties inherent in the model. Then, we present a new variable θ that enables the mathematical study. Due to a problem of definition of the turbulent viscosity on the wall boundary, we consider an alternative version of the original equation. We show that some physical aspects...

Mathematical and numerical modelling of piezoelectric sensors

Sebastien Imperiale, Patrick Joly (2012)

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

The present work aims at proposing a rigorous analysis of the mathematical and numerical modelling of ultrasonic piezoelectric sensors. This includes the well-posedness of the final model, the rigorous justification of the underlying approximation and the design and analysis of numerical methods. More precisely, we first justify mathematically the classical quasi-static approximation that reduces the electric unknowns to a scalar electric potential. We next justify the reduction of the computation...

Mathematical and physical aspects of the initial value problem for a nonlocal model of heat propagation with finite speed

Jerzy A. Gawinecki, Agnieszka Gawinecka, Jarosław Łazuka, J. Rafa (2013)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Theories of heat predicting a finite speed of propagation of thermal signals have come into existence during the last 50 years. It is worth emphasizing that in contrast to the classical heat theory, these nonclassical theories involve a hyperbolic type heat equation and are based on experiments exhibiting the actual occurrence of wave-type heat transport (so called second sound). This paper presents a new system of equations describing a nonlocal model of heat propagation with finite speed in the...

Mathematical modelling of rock bolt systems. I

Josef Malík (1998)

Applications of Mathematics

The main goal of the paper is to give a variational formulation of the behaviour of bolt systems in rock mass. The problem arises in geomechanics where bolt systems are applied to reinforce underground openings by inserting steel bars or cables. After giving a variational formulation, we prove the existence and uniqueness and some other properties.

Mathematical modelling of rock bolt systems. II

Josef Malík (2000)

Applications of Mathematics

The main goal of the paper is to describe a reinforcement consisting of fully grouted bolts, which is applied to stabilizing underground openings and tunnels. After a variational formulation is given, the existence and uniqueness is proved. Some asymptotic results that make it possible to replace the real system with a continuous one more suitable for discretization are presented. Some other types of reinforcements and properties are studied.
