Numerical modeling of heat exchange and unsaturated-saturated flow in porous media

Kačur, Jozef, Mihala, Patrik, Tóth, Michal (2017)

Proceedings of Equadiff 14

We discuss the numerical modeling of heat exchange between the infiltrated water and porous media matrix. An unsaturated-saturated flow is considered with boundary conditions reflecting the external driven forces. The developed numerical method is efficient and can be used for solving the inverse problems concerning determination of transmission coefficients for heat energy exchange inside and also on the boundary of porous media. Numerical experiments support our method.

Numerical Modelling of Contact Elastic-Plastic Flows

N. M. Bessonov, S. F. Golovashchenko, V. A. Volpert (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Wilkins' method has been successfully used since early 60s for numerical simulation of high velocity contact elastic-plastic flows. The present work proposes some effective modifications of this method including more sophisticated material model including the Baushinger effect; modification of the algorithm based on correction of the initial configuration of a solid; a contact algorithm based on the idea of a mild contact.

Numerical modelling of flow in lower urinary tract using high-resolution methods

Brandner, Marek, Egermaier, Jiří, Kopincová, Hana, Rosenberg, Josef (2013)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

We propose a new numerical scheme based on the finite volumes to simulate the urethra flow based on hyperbolic balance law. Our approach is based on the Riemann solver designed for the augmented quasilinear homogeneous formulation. The scheme has general semidiscrete wave–propagation form and can be extended to arbitrary high order accuracy. The first 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....

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

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 by...

Numerical simulation of a point-source initiated flame ball with heat losses

Jacques Audounet, Jean-Michel Roquejoffre, Hélène Rouzaud (2002)

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

This article is devoted to the numerical study of a flame ball model, derived by Joulin, which obeys to a singular integro-differential equation. The numerical scheme that we analyze here, is based upon a one step method, and we are interested in its long-time behaviour. We recover the same dynamics as in the continuous case: quenching, or stabilization of the flame, depending on heat losses, and an energy input parameter.

Numerical simulation of a pulsatile flow through a flexible channel

Cornel Marius Murea (2006)

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

An algorithm for approximation of an unsteady fluid-structure interaction problem is proposed. The fluid is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations with boundary conditions on pressure, while for the structure a particular plate model is used. The algorithm is based on the modal decomposition and the Newmark Method for the structure and on the Arbitrary lagrangian Eulerian coordinates and the Finite Element Method for the fluid. In this paper, the continuity of the stresses at the interface was...

Numerical simulation of blood flows through a porous interface

Miguel A. Fernández, Jean-Frédéric Gerbeau, Vincent Martin (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We propose a model for a medical device, called a stent, designed for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. The stent consists of a grid, immersed in the blood flow and located at the inlet of the aneurysm. It aims at promoting a clot within the aneurysm. The blood flow is modelled by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and the stent by a dissipative surface term. We propose a stabilized finite element method for this model and we analyse its convergence in the case of the Stokes...

Numerical simulation of chemotactic bacteria aggregation via mixed finite elements

Americo Marrocco (2003)

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

We start from a mathematical model which describes the collective motion of bacteria taking into account the underlying biochemistry. This model was first introduced by Keller-Segel [13]. A new formulation of the system of partial differential equations is obtained by the introduction of a new variable (this new variable is similar to the quasi-Fermi level in the framework of semiconductor modelling). This new system of P.D.E. is approximated via a mixed finite element technique. The solution algorithm...

Numerical simulation of free-surface flows with surface tension

Sváček, Petr (2015)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

This paper focuses on the mathematical modelling and the numerical approximation of the flow of two immiscible incompressible fluids. The surface tension effects are taken into account and mixed boundary conditions are used. The weak formulation is introduced, discretized in time, and the finite element method is applied. The free surface motion is treated with the aid of the level set method. The numerical results are shown.

Numerical simulation of surface acoustic wave actuated cell sorting

Thomas Franke, Ronald Hoppe, Christopher Linsenmann, Kidist Zeleke (2013)

Open Mathematics

We consider the mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of high throughput sorting of two different types of biological cells (type I and type II) by a biomedical micro-electro-mechanical system (BioMEMS) whose operating behavior relies on surface acoustic wave (SAW) manipulated fluid flow in a microchannel. The BioMEMS consists of a separation channel with three inflow channels for injection of the carrier fluid and the cells, two outflow channels for separation, and an interdigital transducer...

This paper is devoted to the numerical simulation of wave breaking. It presents the results of a numerical workshop that was held during the conference LOMA04. The objective is to compare several mathematical models (compressible or incompressible) and associated numerical methods to compute the flow field during a wave breaking over a reef. The methods will also be compared with experiments.
