Some inverse and control problems for fluids

Enrique Fernández-Cara, Thierry Horsin, Henry Kasumba (2013)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

This paper deals with some inverse and control problems for the Navier-Stokes and related systems. We will focus on some particular aspects that have recently led to interesting (theoretical and numerical) results: geometric inverse problems, Eulerian and Lagrangian controllability and vortex reduction oriented to shape optimization.

Some remarks on Prandtl system

Hua Shui Zhan, Jun Ning Zhao (2008)

Applications of Mathematics

The purpose of this paper is to correct some drawbacks in the proof of the well-known Boundary Layer Theory in Oleinik’s book. The Prandtl system for a nonstationary layer arising in an axially symmetric incopressible flow past a solid body is analyzed.

Some Remarks on the Boundary Conditions in the Theory of Navier-Stokes Equations

Chérif Amrouche, Patrick Penel, Nour Seloula (2013)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

This article addresses some theoretical questions related to the choice of boundary conditions, which are essential for modelling and numerical computing in mathematical fluids mechanics. Unlike the standard choice of the well known non slip boundary conditions, we emphasize three selected sets of slip conditions, and particularly stress on the interaction between the appropriate functional setting and the status of these conditions.

Some results on the Navier-Stokes equations in connection with the statistical theory of stationary turbulence

Ricardo M. S. Rosa (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

Some rigorous results connected with the conventional statistical theory of turbulence in both the two- and three-dimensional cases are discussed. Such results are based on the concept of stationary statistical solution, related to the notion of ensemble average for turbulence in statistical equilibrium, and concern, in particular, the mean kinetic energy and enstrophy fluxes and their corresponding cascades. Some of the results are developed here in the case of nonsmooth boundaries and a less regular...

Space-time variational saddle point formulations of Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations

Rafaela Guberovic, Christoph Schwab, Rob Stevenson (2014)

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

The instationary Stokes and Navier−Stokes equations are considered in a simultaneously space-time variational saddle point formulation, so involving both velocities u and pressure p. For the instationary Stokes problem, it is shown that the corresponding operator is a boundedly invertible linear mapping between H1 and H'2, both Hilbert spaces H1 and H2 being Cartesian products of (intersections of) Bochner spaces, or duals of those. Based on these results, the operator that corresponds to the Navier−Stokes...

Special finite-difference approximations of flow equations in terms of stream function, vorticity and velocity components for viscous incompressible liquid in curvilinear orthogonal coordinates

Harijs Kalis (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The Navier-Stokes equations written in general orthogonal curvilinear coordinates are reformulated with the use of the stream function, vorticity and velocity components. The resulting system id discretized on general irregular meshes and special monotone finite-difference schemes are derived.

Spectral/hp elements in fluid structure interaction

Pech, Jan (2021)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

This work presents simulations of incompressible fluid flow interacting with a moving rigid body. A numerical algorithm for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a general coordinate system is applied to two types of body motion, prescribed and flow-induced. Discretization in spatial coordinates is based on the spectral/hp element method. Specific techniques of stabilisation, mesh design and approximation quality estimates are described and compared. Presented data show performance of the solver...

Stability for a certain class of numerical methods – abstract approach and application to the stationary Navier-Stokes equations

Elżbieta Motyl (2012)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We consider some abstract nonlinear equations in a separable Hilbert space H and some class of approximate equations on closed linear subspaces of H . The main result concerns stability with respect to the approximation of the space H . We prove that, generically, the set of all solutions of the exact equation is the limit in the sense of the Hausdorff metric over H of the sets of approximate solutions, over some filterbase on the family of all closed linear subspaces of H . The abstract results are...

Stability of a finite element method for 3D exterior stationary Navier-Stokes flows

Paul Deuring (2007)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider numerical approximations of stationary incompressible Navier-Stokes flows in 3D exterior domains, with nonzero velocity at infinity. It is shown that a P1-P1 stabilized finite element method proposed by C. Rebollo: A term by term stabilization algorithm for finite element solution of incompressible flow problems, Numer. Math. 79 (1998), 283–319, is stable when applied to a Navier-Stokes flow in a truncated exterior domain with a pointwise boundary condition on the artificial boundary....

Stability of Constant Solutions to the Navier-Stokes System in ℝ³

Piotr Bogusław Mucha (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The paper examines the initial value problem for the Navier-Stokes system of viscous incompressible fluids in the three-dimensional space. We prove stability of regular solutions which tend to constant flows sufficiently fast. We show that a perturbation of a regular solution is bounded in W r 2 , 1 ( ³ × [ k , k + 1 ] ) for k ∈ ℕ. The result is obtained under the assumption of smallness of the L₂-norm of the perturbing initial data. We do not assume smallness of the W r 2 - 2 / r ( ³ ) -norm of the perturbing initial data or smallness of the...
