Conditions implying regularity of the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation

Stephen Montgomery-Smith (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

We obtain logarithmic improvements for conditions for regularity of the Navier-Stokes equation, similar to those of Prodi-Serrin or Beale-Kato-Majda. Some of the proofs make use of a stochastic approach involving Feynman-Kac-like inequalities. As part of our methods, we give a different approach to a priori estimates of Foiaş, Guillopé and Temam.

Conditions of Prodi-Serrin's type for local regularity of suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

Zdeněk Skalák (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In the context of suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations we present local conditions of Prodi-Serrin’s type on velocity 𝐯 and pressure p under which ( 𝐱 0 , t 0 ) Ω × ( 0 , T ) is a regular point of 𝐯 . The conditions are imposed exclusively on the outside of a sufficiently narrow space-time paraboloid with the vertex ( 𝐱 0 , t 0 ) and the axis parallel with the t -axis.

Conservation law constrained optimization based upon front-tracking

Martin Gugat, Michaël Herty, Axel Klar, Gunter Leugering (2006)

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

We consider models based on conservation laws. For the optimization of such systems, a sensitivity analysis is essential to determine how changes in the decision variables influence the objective function. Here we study the sensitivity with respect to the initial data of objective functions that depend upon the solution of Riemann problems with piecewise linear flux functions. We present representations for the one–sided directional derivatives of the objective functions. The results can be used...

Conservative forms of Boltzmann's collision operator: Landau revisited

Cédric Villani (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We show that Boltzmann's collision operator can be written explicitly in divergence and double divergence forms. These conservative formulations may be of interest for both theoretical and numerical purposes. We give an application to the asymptotics of grazing collisions.

Conservative numerical methods for a two-temperature resistive MHD model with self-generated magnetic field term

Marc Wolff, Stéphane Jaouen, Lise-Marie Imbert-Gérard (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

We propose numerical methods on Cartesian meshes for solving the 2-D axisymmetric two-temperature resistivive magnetohydrodynamics equations with self-generated magnetic field and Braginskii’s [1] closures. These rely on a splitting of the complete system in several subsystems according to the nature of the underlying mathematical operator. The hyperbolic part is solved using conservative high-order dimensionally split Lagrange-remap schemes whereas...

Constraint preserving schemes using potential-based fluxes. III. Genuinely multi-dimensional schemes for MHD equations∗∗∗

Siddhartha Mishra, Eitan Tadmor (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We design efficient numerical schemes for approximating the MHD equations in multi-dimensions. Numerical approximations must be able to deal with the complex wave structure of the MHD equations and the divergence constraint. We propose schemes based on the genuinely multi-dimensional (GMD) framework of [S. Mishra and E. Tadmor, Commun. Comput. Phys. 9 (2010) 688–710; S. Mishra and E. Tadmor, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 49 (2011) 1023–1045]. The schemes are formulated in terms of vertex-centered potentials....
