Asymptotic-Preserving scheme for a two-fluid Euler-Lorentz model
The present work is devoted to the simulation of a strongly magnetized plasma as a mixture of an ion fluid and an electron fluid. For simplicity reasons, we assume that each fluid is isothermal and is modelized by Euler equations coupled with a term representing the Lorentz force, and we assume that both Euler systems are coupled through a quasi-neutrality constraint of the form ni = ne. The numerical method which is described in the...

Calculation of low Mach number acoustics : a comparison of MPV, EIF and linearized Euler equations
The calculation of sound generation and propagation in low Mach number flows requires serious reflections on the characteristics of the underlying equations. Although the compressible Euler/Navier-Stokes equations cover all effects, an approximation via standard compressible solvers does not have the ability to represent acoustic waves correctly. Therefore, different methods have been developed to deal with the problem. In this paper, three of them are considered and compared to each other. They...

Chebyshev pseudospectral-hybrid finite element method for two-dimensional vorticity equation
Combined finite element -- finite volume method (convergence analysis)
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...

Convergence analysis of a locally stabilized collocated finite volume scheme for incompressible flows
We present and analyse in this paper a novel cell-centered collocated finite volume scheme for incompressible flows. Its definition involves a partition of the set of control volumes; each element of this partition is called a cluster and consists in a few neighbouring control volumes. Under a simple geometrical assumption for the clusters, we obtain that the pair of discrete spaces associating the classical cell-centered approximation for the velocities and cluster-wide constant pressures is inf-sup...

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...
Domain decomposition methods for solving the Burgers equation
This article presents some results of numerical tests of solving the two-dimensional non-linear unsteady viscous Burgers equation. We have compared the known convergence and parallel performance properties of the additive Schwarz domain decomposition method with or without a coarse grid for the model Poisson problem with those obtained by experiments for the Burgers problem.
Error estimates for barycentric finite volumes combined with nonconforming finite elements applied to nonlinear convection-diffusion problems
The subject of the paper is the derivation of error estimates for the combined finite volume-finite element method used for the numerical solution of nonstationary nonlinear convection-diffusion problems. Here we analyze the combination of barycentric finite volumes associated with sides of triangulation with the piecewise linear nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart finite elements. Under some assumptions on the regularity of the exact solution, the and error estimates are established. At the end...
Eulerian formulation and level set models for incompressible fluid-structure interaction
This paper is devoted to Eulerian models for incompressible fluid-structure systems. These models are primarily derived for computational purposes as they allow to simulate in a rather straightforward way complex 3D systems. We first analyze the level set model of immersed membranes proposed in [Cottet and Maitre, Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci.16 (2006) 415–438]. We in particular show that this model can be interpreted as a generalization of so-called Korteweg fluids. We then extend this model...
