An upper bound on the attractor dimension of a 2D turbulent shear flow with a free boundary condition

Mahdi Boukrouche, Grzegorz Łukaszewicz (2005)

Banach Center Publications

We consider a free boundary problem of a two-dimensional Navier-Stokes shear flow. There exist a unique global in time solution of the considered problem as well as the global attractor for the associated semigroup. As in [1] and [2], we estimate from above the dimension of the attractor in terms of given data and the geometry of the domain of the flow. This research is motivated by a free boundary problem from lubrication theory where the domain of the flow is usually very thin and the roughness...

Analyse de sensibilité d’un problème de contrôle optimal bilinéaire

Jean-Marc Clérin (2012)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Dans cet article, nous étudions la sensibilité d’un problème de contrôle optimal de type bilinéaire. Le coût est différentiable, quadratique et strictement convexe. Le système est gouverné par un opérateur parabolique du quatrième ordre et présente une perturbation additive dans l’équation d’état, ainsi qu’une partie bilinéaire, relativement au contrôle u et à l’état z , de la forme ( u · ) z . Sous des conditions de petitesse de l’état initial et de la perturbation, nous exploitons les propriétés de régularité...

Analysis and finite element error estimates for the velocity tracking problem for Stokes flows via a penalized formulation

Konstantinos Chrysafinos (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

A distributed optimal control problem for evolutionary Stokes flows is studied via a pseudocompressibility formulation. Several results concerning the analysis of the velocity tracking problem are presented. Semidiscrete finite element error estimates for the corresponding optimality system are derived based on estimates for the penalized Stokes problem and the BRR (Brezzi-Rappaz-Raviart) theory. Finally, the convergence of the solutions of the penalized optimality systems as ε 0 is examined.

Analysis of a time discretization scheme for a nonstandard viscous Cahn–Hilliard system

Pierluigi Colli, Gianni Gilardi, Pavel Krejčí, Paolo Podio-Guidugli, Jürgen Sprekels (2014)

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

In this paper we propose a time discretization of a system of two parabolic equations describing diffusion-driven atom rearrangement in crystalline matter. The equations express the balances of microforces and microenergy; the two phase fields are the order parameter and the chemical potential. The initial and boundary-value problem for the evolutionary system is known to be well posed. Convergence of the discrete scheme to the solution of the continuous problem is proved by a careful development...

Analysis of a time optimal control problem related to the management of a bioreactor

Lino J. Alvarez-Vázquez, Francisco J. Fernández, Aurea Martínez (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a time optimal control problem arisen from the optimal management of a bioreactor devoted to the treatment of eutrophicated water. We formulate this realistic problem as a state-control constrained time optimal control problem. After analyzing the state system (a complex system of coupled partial differential equations with non-smooth coefficients for advection-diffusion-reaction with Michaelis-Menten kinetics, modelling the eutrophication processes) we demonstrate the existence of,...

Analysis of Synchronization in a Neural Population by a Population Density Approach

A. Garenne, J. Henry, C. O. Tarniceriu (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this paper we deal with a model describing the evolution in time of the density of a neural population in a state space, where the state is given by Izhikevich’s two - dimensional single neuron model. The main goal is to mathematically describe the occurrence of a significant phenomenon observed in neurons populations, the synchronization. To this end, we are making the transition to phase density population, and use Malkin theorem to calculate...

Analysis of the boundary symbol for the two-phase Navier-Stokes equations with surface tension

Jan Prüss, Gieri Simonett (2009)

Banach Center Publications

The two-phase free boundary value problem for the Navier-Stokes system is considered in a situation where the initial interface is close to a halfplane. We extract the boundary symbol which is crucial for the dynamics of the free boundary and present an analysis of this symbol. Of particular interest are its singularities and zeros which lead to refined mapping properties of the corresponding operator.

Analysis of the flows of incompressible fluids with pressure dependent viscosity fulfilling ν ( p , · ) + as p +

M. Bulíček, Josef Málek, Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Over a large range of the pressure, one cannot ignore the fact that the viscosity grows significantly (even exponentially) with increasing pressure. This paper concerns long-time and large-data existence results for a generalization of the Navier-Stokes fluid whose viscosity depends on the shear rate and the pressure. The novelty of this result stems from the fact that we allow the viscosity to be an unbounded function of pressure as it becomes infinite. In order to include a large class of viscosities...
