Limite incompressible des équations d’Euler non isentropiques
L’objet de cette note est d’étudier la limite quasineutre des équations de Vlasov Poisson en dimension d’espace. Ceci inclut l’obtention de résultats d’existence pour le système limite ainsi que la preuve de la convergence.
Il s’agit de comparer les différents résultats et théorèmes concernant dans un cadre essentiellement déterministe des systèmes de particules. Cela conduit à étudier la notion de hiérarchies d’équations et à comparer les modèles non linéaires et linéaires. Dans ce dernier cas on met en évidence le rôle de l’aléatoire. Ce texte réfère à une série de travaux en collaboration avec F. Golse, A. Gottlieb, D. Levermore et N. Mauser.
The behavior of an ordinary differential equation for the low wave number velocity mode is analyzed. This equation was derived in [5] by an iterative process on the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (NSE). It resembles the NSE in form, except that the kinematic viscosity is replaced by an iterated viscosity which is a partial sum, dependent on the low-mode velocity. The convergence of this sum as the number of iterations is taken to be arbitrarily large is explored. This leads to a limiting...
The paper analyzes the issue of existence of solutions to linear problems in two dimensional exterior domains, linearizations of the Navier-Stokes equations. The systems are studied with a slip boundary condition. The main results prove the existence of distributional solutions for arbitrary data.
The computation of nonlinear quasistationary two-dimensional magnetic fields leads to a nonlinear second order parabolic-elliptic initial-boundary value problem. Such a problem with a nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition on a part of the boundary is studied in this paper. The problem is discretized in space by the finite element method with linear functions on triangular elements and in time by the implicit-explicit method (the left-hand side by the implicit Euler method and the right-hand...
For robust discretizations of the Navier-Stokes equations with small viscosity, standard Galerkin schemes have to be augmented by stabilization terms due to the indefinite convective terms and due to a possible lost of a discrete inf-sup condition. For optimal control problems for fluids such stabilization have in general an undesired effect in the sense that optimization and discretization do not commute. This is the case for the combination of streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) and pressure...
Relaxation oscillations are limit cycles with two clearly different time scales. In this article the spatio-temporal dynamics of a standard prey-predator system in the parameter region of relaxation oscillation is investigated. Both prey and predator population are distributed irregularly at a relatively high average level between a maximal and a minimal value. However, the slowly developing complex pattern exhibits a feature of “inverse excitability”: Both populations show collapses which occur...
