Combined finite element -- finite volume method (convergence analysis)

Mária Lukáčová-Medviďová (1997)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We present an efficient numerical method for solving viscous compressible fluid flows. The basic idea is to combine finite volume and finite element methods in an appropriate way. Thus nonlinear convective terms are discretized by the finite volume method over a finite volume mesh dual to a triangular grid. Diffusion terms are discretized by the conforming piecewise linear finite element method. In the paper we study theoretical properties of this scheme for the scalar nonlinear convection-diffusion...

Combustion in hydraulically resisted flows.

Gregory I. Sivashinsky (2007)

RACSAM

The effects of hydraulic resistance on premixed gas combustion in tubes and inert porous beds are discussed on the basis of recent research. It is found that the hydraulic resistance causes a gradual precompression and preheating of the unburned gas adjacent to the advancing deflagration which may lead (after an extended induction period) to a localized thermal explosion triggering an abrupt transition from deglagrative to detonative combustion. The hydraulic resistance has a profound effect also...

Comparaison entre modèles d'ondes de surface en dimension 2

Youcef Mammeri (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Partant du principe de conservation de la masse et du principe fondamental de la dynamique, on retrouve l'équation d'Euler nous permettant de décrire les modèles asymptotiques de propagation d'ondes dans des eaux peu profondes en dimension 1. Pour décrire la propagation des ondes en dimension 2, Kadomtsev et Petviashvili [ 15 (1970) 539] utilisent une perturbation linéaire de l'équation de KdV. Mais cela ne précise pas si les équations ainsi obtenues dérivent de l'équation d'Euler, c'est ce que...

Comparison of active control techniques over a dihedral plane

Emmanuel Creusé (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This work is devoted to the numerical comparison of four active control techniques in order to increase the pressure recovery generated by the deceleration of a slightly compressible viscous flow over a dihedral plane. It is performed by the use of vortex generator jets and intrusive sensors. The governing equations, the two-dimensional direct numerical simulation code and the flow configuration are first briefly recalled. Then, the objective of the control is carefully displayed, and the uncontrolled...

Comparison of Vlasov solvers for spacecraft charging simulation

Nicolas Vauchelet, Jean-Paul Dudon, Christophe Besse, Thierry Goudon (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The modelling and the numerical resolution of the electrical charging of a spacecraft in interaction with the Earth magnetosphere is considered. It involves the Vlasov-Poisson system, endowed with non standard boundary conditions. We discuss the pros and cons of several numerical methods for solving this system, using as benchmark a simple 1D model which exhibits the main difficulties of the original models.

Compressible two-phase flows by central and upwind schemes

Smadar Karni, Eduard Kirr, Alexander Kurganov, Guergana Petrova (2004)

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

This paper concerns numerical methods for two-phase flows. The governing equations are the compressible 2-velocity, 2-pressure flow model. Pressure and velocity relaxation are included as source terms. Results obtained by a Godunov-type central scheme and a Roe-type upwind scheme are presented. Issues of preservation of pressure equilibrium, and positivity of the partial densities are addressed.
