Macroscopic models of collective motion and self-organization

Pierre Degond, Amic Frouvelle, Jian-Guo Liu, Sebastien Motsch, Laurent Navoret (2012/2013)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

In this paper, we review recent developments on the derivation and properties of macroscopic models of collective motion and self-organization. The starting point is a model of self-propelled particles interacting with its neighbors through alignment. We successively derive a mean-field model and its hydrodynamic limit. The resulting macroscopic model is the Self-Organized Hydrodynamics (SOH). We review the available existence results and known properties of the SOH model and discuss it in view...

Magnetization switching on small ferromagnetic ellipsoidal samples

François Alouges, Karine Beauchard (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The study of small magnetic particles has become a very important topic, in particular for the development of technological devices such as those used for magnetic recording. In this field, switching the magnetization inside the magnetic sample is of particular relevance. We here investigate mathematically this problem by considering the full partial differential model of Landau-Lifschitz equations triggered by a uniform (in space) external magnetic field.

Mathematical modelling and numerical solution of swelling of cartilaginous tissues. Part II: Mixed-hybrid finite element solution

Kamyar Malakpoor, Enrique F. Kaasschieter, Jacques M. Huyghe (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The swelling and shrinkage of biological tissues are modelled by a four-component mixture theory [J.M. Huyghe and J.D. Janssen, Int. J. Engng. Sci.35 (1997) 793–802; K. Malakpoor, E.F. Kaasschieter and J.M. Huyghe, Mathematical modelling and numerical solution of swelling of cartilaginous tissues. Part I: Modeling of incompressible charged porous media. ESAIM: M2AN41 (2007) 661–678]. This theory results in a coupled system of nonlinear parabolic differential equations together with an algebraic...

Mathematical study of a petroleum-engineering scheme

Robert Eymard, Raphaèle Herbin, Anthony Michel (2003)

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

Models of two phase flows in porous media, used in petroleum engineering, lead to a system of two coupled equations with elliptic and parabolic degenerate terms, and two unknowns, the saturation and the pressure. For the purpose of their approximation, a coupled scheme, consisting in a finite volume method together with a phase-by-phase upstream weighting scheme, is used in the industrial setting. This paper presents a mathematical analysis of this coupled scheme, first showing that it satisfies...

Models of Self-Organizing Bacterial Communities and Comparisons with Experimental Observations

A. Marrocco, H. Henry, I. B. Holland, M. Plapp, S. J. Séror, B. Perthame (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Bacillus subtilis swarms rapidly over the surface of a synthetic medium creating remarkable hyperbranched dendritic communities. Models to reproduce such effects have been proposed under the form of parabolic Partial Differential Equations representing the dynamics of the active cells (both motile and multiplying), the passive cells (non-motile and non-growing) and nutrient concentration. We test the numerical behavior of such models and compare...

Monotone iteration for infinite systems of parabolic equations with functional dependence

Anna Pudełko (2007)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider the initial value problem for an infinite system of differential-functional equations of parabolic type. General operators of parabolic type of second order with variable coefficients are considered and the system is weakly coupled. The solutions are obtained by the monotone iterative method. We prove theorems on weak partial differential-functional inequalities as well the existence and uniqueness theorems in the class of continuous bounded functions and in the class of functions satisfying...

Motion by curvature of planar networks

Carlo Mantegazza, Matteo Novaga, Vincenzo Maria Tortorelli (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We consider the motion by curvature of a network of smooth curves with multiple junctions in the plane, that is, the geometric gradient flow associated to the length functional. Such a flow represents the evolution of a two–dimensional multiphase system where the energy is simply the sum of the lengths of the interfaces, in particular it is a possible model for the growth of grain boundaries. Moreover, the motion of these networks of curves is the simplest example of curvature flow for sets which...

Moving mesh for the axisymmetric harmonic map flow

Benoit Merlet, Morgan Pierre (2005)

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

We build corotational symmetric solutions to the harmonic map flow from the unit disc into the unit sphere which have constant degree. First, we prove the existence of such solutions, using a time semi-discrete scheme based on the idea that the harmonic map flow is the L 2 -gradient of the relaxed Dirichlet energy. We prove a partial uniqueness result concerning these solutions. Then, we compute numerically these solutions by a moving-mesh method which allows us to deal with the singularity at the...

Multicomponent flow in a porous medium. Adsorption and Soret effect phenomena : local study and upscaling process

Serge Blancher, René Creff, Gérard Gagneux, Bruno Lacabanne, François Montel, David Trujillo (2001)

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

Our aim here is to study the thermal diffusion phenomenon in a forced convective flow. A system of nonlinear parabolic equations governs the evolution of the mass fractions in multicomponent mixtures. Some existence and uniqueness results are given under suitable conditions on state functions. Then, we present a numerical scheme based on a “mixed finite element” method adapted to a finite volume scheme, of which we give numerical analysis. In a last part, we apply an homogenization technique to...
