On the solution of inverse problems for generalized oxygen consumption

Denis Constales, Jozef Kačur (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

We present the solution of some inverse problems for one-dimensional free boundary problems of oxygen consumption type, with a semilinear convection-diffusion-reaction parabolic equation. Using a fixed domain transformation (Landau’s transformation) the direct problem is reduced to a system of ODEs. To minimize the objective functionals in the inverse problems, we approximate the data by a finite number of parameters with respect to which automatic differentiation is applied.

On the solution of linear algebraic systems arising from the semi–implicit DGFE discretization of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations

Vít Dolejší (2010)

Kybernetika

We deal with the numerical simulation of a motion of viscous compressible fluids. We discretize the governing Navier–Stokes equations by the backward difference formula – discontinuous Galerkin finite element (BDF-DGFE) method, which exhibits a sufficiently stable, efficient and accurate numerical scheme. The BDF-DGFE method requires a solution of one linear algebra system at each time step. In this paper, we deal with these linear algebra systems with the aid of an iterative solver. We discuss...

On the stability of the ALE space-time discontinuous Galerkin method for nonlinear convection-diffusion problems in time-dependent domains

Monika Balázsová, Miloslav Feistauer (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper is concerned with the analysis of the space-time discontinuous Galerkin method (STDGM) applied to the numerical solution of the nonstationary nonlinear convection-diffusion initial-boundary value problem in a time-dependent domain formulated with the aid of the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method. In the formulation of the numerical scheme we use the nonsymmetric, symmetric and incomplete versions of the space discretization of diffusion terms and interior and boundary penalty....

On the stability of the coupling of 3D and 1D fluid-structure interaction models for blood flow simulations

Luca Formaggia, Alexandra Moura, Fabio Nobile (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider the coupling between three-dimensional (3D) and one-dimensional (1D) fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models describing blood flow inside compliant vessels. The 1D model is a hyperbolic system of partial differential equations. The 3D model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible Newtonian fluids coupled with a model for the vessel wall dynamics. A non standard formulation for the Navier-Stokes equations is adopted to have suitable boundary conditions for the...

On the well-balance property of Roe’s method for nonconservative hyperbolic systems. Applications to shallow-water systems

Carlos Parés, Manuel Castro (2004)

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

This paper is concerned with the numerical approximations of Cauchy problems for one-dimensional nonconservative hyperbolic systems. The first goal is to introduce a general concept of well-balancing for numerical schemes solving this kind of systems. Once this concept stated, we investigate the well-balance properties of numerical schemes based on the generalized Roe linearizations introduced by [Toumi, J. Comp. Phys. 102 (1992) 360–373]. Next, this general theory is applied to obtain well-balanced...

Opposing flows in a one dimensional convection-diffusion problem

Eugene O’Riordan (2012)

Open Mathematics

In this paper, we examine a particular class of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems with a discontinuous coefficient of the convective term. The presence of a discontinuous convective coefficient generates a solution which mimics flow moving in opposing directions either side of some flow source. A particular transmission condition is imposed to ensure that the differential operator is stable. A piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh is combined with a monotone finite difference operator...

Optimal convergence and a posteriori error analysis of the original DG method for advection-reaction equations

Tie Zhu Zhang, Shu Hua Zhang (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider the original DG method for solving the advection-reaction equations with arbitrary velocity in d space dimensions. For triangulations satisfying the flow condition, we first prove that the optimal convergence rate is of order k + 1 in the L 2 -norm if the method uses polynomials of order k . Then, a very simple derivative recovery formula is given to produce an approximation to the derivative in the flow direction which superconverges with order k + 1 . Further we consider a residual-based a posteriori...
