Derivation of a discrete Enskog equation from the dynamics of particles.
Derivation of a homogenized two-temperature model from the heat equation
This work studies the heat equation in a two-phase material with spherical inclusions. Under some appropriate scaling on the size, volume fraction and heat capacity of the inclusions, we derive a coupled system of partial differential equations governing the evolution of the temperature of each phase at a macroscopic level of description. The coupling terms describing the exchange of heat between the phases are obtained by using homogenization techniques originating from [D. Cioranescu, F. Murat,...
Derivation of models of compressible miscible displacement in partially fractured reservoirs.
Derivation of the Reynolds equation for lubrication of a rotating shaft
In this paper, using the asymptotic expansion, we prove that the Reynolds lubrication equation is an approximation of the full Navier–Stokes equations in thin gap between two coaxial cylinders in relative motion. Boundary layer correctors are computed. The error estimate in terms of domain thickness for the asymptotic expansion is given. The corrector for classical Reynolds approximation is computed.
Description of the multi-dimensional finite volume solver EULER
This paper is aimed at the description of the multi-dimensional finite volume solver EULER, which has been developed for the numerical solution of the compressible Euler equations during several last years. The present overview of numerical schemes and the explanation of numerical techniques and tricks which have been used for EULER could be of certain interest not only for registered users but also for numerical mathematicians who have decided to implement a finite volume solver themselves. This...
Determination of the Thickness and Composition Profiles for a Film of Binary Mixture on a Solid Substrate
We determine the steady-state structures that result from liquid-liquid demixing in a free surface film of binary liquid on a solid substrate. The considered model corresponds to the static limit of the diffuse interface theory describing the phase separation process for a binary liquid (model-H), when supplemented by boundary conditions at the free surface and taking the influence of the solid substrate into account. The resulting variational problem...

Development of three dimensional constitutive theories based on lower dimensional experimental data
Most three dimensional constitutive relations that have been developed to describe the behavior of bodies are correlated against one dimensional and two dimensional experiments. What is usually lost sight of is the fact that infinity of such three dimensional models may be able to explain these experiments that are lower dimensional. Recently, the notion of maximization of the rate of entropy production has been used to obtain constitutive relations based on the choice of the stored energy and rate...
Difference schemes for pluriparabolic equations.
Different boundary conditions for LES solver Palm 6.0 used for ABL in tunnel experiment
We tried to reproduce results measured in the wind tunnel experiment with a CFD simulation provided by numerical model PALM. A realistic buildings layout from the Prague-Dejvice quarter has been chosen as a testing domain because solid validation campaign for PALM simulation of Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) over this quarter was documented in the past. The question of input data needed for such simulation and capability of the model to capture correctly the inlet profile and its turbulence structure...
Diffusion limit of the Lorentz model : asymptotic preserving schemes
This paper deals with the diffusion limit of a kinetic equation where the collisions are modeled by a Lorentz type operator. The main aim is to construct a discrete scheme to approximate this equation which gives for any value of the Knudsen number, and in particular at the diffusive limit, the right discrete diffusion equation with the same value of the diffusion coefficient as in the continuous case. We are also naturally interested with a discretization which can be used with few velocity discretization...

Diffusion limits for the initial-boundary value problem of the Goldstein--Taylor model.
Diffusion models of multicomponent mixtures in the lung*
In this work, we are interested in two different diffusion models for multicomponent mixtures. We numerically recover experimental results underlining the inadequacy of the usual Fick diffusion model, and the importance of using the Maxwell-Stefan model in various situations. This model nonlinearly couples the mole fractions and the fluxes of each component of the mixture. We then consider a subregion of the lower part of the lung, in which we compare...

Diffusion with dissolution and precipitation in a porous medium: Mathematical analysis and numerical approximation of a simplified model
Modeling the kinetics of a precipitation dissolution reaction occurring in a porous medium where diffusion also takes place leads to a system of two parabolic equations and one ordinary differential equation coupled with a stiff reaction term. This system is discretized by a finite volume scheme which is suitable for the approximation of the discontinuous reaction term of unknown sign. Discrete solutions are shown to exist and converge towards a weak solution of the continuous problem. Uniqueness...
Diffusive limit for finite velocity Boltzmann kinetic models.
We investigate, in the diffusive scaling, the limit to the macroscopic description of finite-velocity Boltzmann kinetic models, where the rate coefficient in front of the collision operator is assumed to be dependent of the mass density. It is shown that in the limit the flux vanishes, while the evolution of the mass density is governed by a nonlinear parabolic equation of porous medium type. In the last part of the paper we show that our method adapts to prove the so-called Rosseland approximation...
