Asymptotic behaviors of internal waves

J. Bona, D. Lannes, J.-C. Saut (2008)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

We present here a systematic method of derivation of asymptotic models for internal waves, that is, for the propagation of waves at the interface of two fluids of different densities. Many physical regimes are investigated, depending on the physical parameters (depth of the fluids, amplitude and wavelength of the interface deformations). This systematic method allows us to recover the many models existing in the literature and to derive some new models, in particular in the case of large amplitude...

Asymptotic-Preserving scheme for a two-fluid Euler-Lorentz model

Stéphane Brull, Pierre Degond, Fabrice Deluzet, Alexandre Mouton (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

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...

Automated CFD Analysis for the Investigation of Flight Handling Qualities

M. Ghoreyshi, K. J. Badcock, A. Da Ronch, D. Vallespin, A. Rizzi (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Physics based simulation is widely seen as a way of increasing the information about aircraft designs earlier in their definition, thus helping with the avoidance of unanticipated problems as the design is refined. This paper reports on an effort to assess the automated use of computational fluid dynamics level aerodynamics for the development of tables for flight dynamics analysis at the conceptual stage. These tables are then used to calculate...

Automatic simplification of Darcy’s equations with pressure dependent permeability

Etienne Ahusborde, Mejdi Azaïez, Faker Ben Belgacem, Christine Bernardi (2013)

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

We consider the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid in a rigid homogeneous porous medium provided with mixed boundary conditions. Since the boundary pressure can present high variations, the permeability of the medium also depends on the pressure, so that the model is nonlinear. A posteriori estimates allow us to omit this dependence where the pressure does not vary too much. We perform the numerical analysis of a spectral element discretization of the simplified model. Finally we propose a strategy...

Basic principles of mixed Virtual Element Methods

F. Brezzi, Richard S. Falk, L. Donatella Marini (2014)

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

The aim of this paper is to give a simple, introductory presentation of the extension of the Virtual Element Method to the discretization of H(div)-conforming vector fields (or, more generally, of (n − 1) − Cochains). As we shall see, the methods presented here can be seen as extensions of the so-called BDM family to deal with more general element geometries (such as polygons with an almost arbitrary geometry). For the sake of simplicity, we limit ourselves to the 2-dimensional case, with the aim...

BEM and FEM results of displacements in a poroelastic column

Bettina Albers, Stavros A. Savidis, H. Ercan Taşan, Otto von Estorff, Malte Gehlken (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The dynamical investigation of two-component poroelastic media is important for practical applications. Analytic solution methods are often not available since they are too complicated for the complex governing sets of equations. For this reason, often some existing numerical methods are used. In this work results obtained with the finite element method are opposed to those obtained by Schanz using the boundary element method. Not only the influence of the number of elements and time steps on the...

Branching process associated with 2d-Navier Stokes equation.

Saïd Benachour, Bernard Roynette, Pierre Vallois (2001)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Ω being a bounded open set in R∙, with regular boundary, we associate with Navier-Stokes equation in Ω where the velocity is null on ∂Ω, a non-linear branching process (Yt, t ≥ 0). More precisely: Eω0(〈h,Yt〉) = 〈ω,h〉, for any test function h, where ω = rot u, u denotes the velocity solution of Navier-Stokes equation. The support of the random measure Yt increases or decreases in one unit when the underlying process hits ∂Ω; this stochastic phenomenon corresponds to the creation-annihilation of vortex...

Calculation of low Mach number acoustics : a comparison of MPV, EIF and linearized Euler equations

Sabine Roller, Thomas Schwartzkopff, Roland Fortenbach, Michael Dumbser, Claus-Dieter Munz (2005)

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

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...

Central-upwind schemes for the Saint-Venant system

Alexander Kurganov, Doron Levy (2002)

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

We present one- and two-dimensional central-upwind schemes for approximating solutions of the Saint-Venant system with source terms due to bottom topography. The Saint-Venant system has steady-state solutions in which nonzero flux gradients are exactly balanced by the source terms. It is a challenging problem to preserve this delicate balance with numerical schemes. Small perturbations of these states are also very difficult to compute. Our approach is based on extending semi-discrete central schemes...
