An unconditionally stable pressure correction scheme for the compressible barotropic Navier-Stokes equations

Thierry Gallouët, Laura Gastaldo, Raphaele Herbin, Jean-Claude Latché (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present in this paper a pressure correction scheme for the barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations, which enjoys an unconditional stability property, in the sense that the energy and maximum-principle-based a priori estimates of the continuous problem also hold for the discrete solution. The stability proof is based on two independent results for general finite volume discretizations, both interesting for their own sake: the L2-stability of the discrete advection operator provided it...

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...

An XFEM/DG approach for fluid-structure interaction problems with contact

Luca Formaggia, Federico Gatti, Stefano Zonca (2021)

Applications of Mathematics

In this work, we address the problem of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) with moving structures that may come into contact. We propose a penalization contact algorithm implemented in an unfitted numerical framework designed to treat large displacements. In the proposed method, the fluid mesh is fixed and the structure meshes are superimposed to it without any constraint on the conformity. Thanks to the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM), we can treat discontinuities of the fluid solution on...

Analyse mathématique de modèles variationells en simulation pétrolière. Le cas du modèle black-oil pseudo-compositionnel standard isoterme.

Gérard Gagneux, Ann-Marie Lefevere, Monique Madaune-Tort (1989)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

The aim of the paper is an analytical and numerical approach to the pseudo-compositional black-oil model for simulating a 3-D isothermal constrained polyphasic flow in porous media, taking into account realistic boundary conditions. The handling of the component conservation laws leads to a strongly coupled system including parabolic quasilinear degenerated equations and first-order hyperbolic inequalities: the introduction of unilateral problems arises from the nature of the thermodynamical equilibrium...

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 combined barycentric finite volume—nonconforming finite element method for nonlinear convection-diffusion problems

Philippe Angot, Vít Dolejší, Miloslav Feistauer, Jiří Felcman (1998)

Applications of Mathematics

We present the convergence analysis of an efficient numerical method for the solution of an initial-boundary value problem for a scalar nonlinear conservation law equation with a diffusion term. Nonlinear convective terms are approximated with the aid of a monotone finite volume scheme considered over the finite volume barycentric mesh, whereas the diffusion term is discretized by piecewise linear nonconforming triangular finite elements. Under the assumption that the triangulations are of weakly...

Analysis of a coupled BEM/FEM eigensolver for the hydroelastic vibrations problem

Mauricio A. Barrientos, Gabriel N. Gatica, Rodolfo Rodríguez, Marcela E. Torrejón (2004)

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

A coupled finite/boundary element method to approximate the free vibration modes of an elastic structure containing an incompressible fluid is analyzed in this paper. The effect of the fluid is taken into account by means of one of the most usual procedures in engineering practice: an added mass formulation, which is posed in terms of boundary integral equations. Piecewise linear continuous elements are used to discretize the solid displacements and the fluid-solid interface variables. Spectral...
