Derivation and well-posedness of Boussinesq/Boussinesq systems for internal waves

Cung The Anh (2009)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider the propagation of internal waves at the interface between two layers of immiscrible fluids of different densities, under the rigid lid assumption, with the presence of surface tension and with uneven bottoms. We are interested in the case where the flow has a Boussinesq structure in both the upper and lower fluid domains. Following the global strategy introduced recently by Bona, Lannes and Saut [J. Math. Pures Appl. 89 (2008)], we derive an asymptotic model in this regime, namely the...

Derivation of a homogenized two-temperature model from the heat equation

Laurent Desvillettes, François Golse, Valeria Ricci (2014)

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

This work studies the heat equation in a two-phase material with spherical inclusions. Under some appropriate scaling on the size, volume fraction and heat capacity of the inclusions, we derive a coupled system of partial differential equations governing the evolution of the temperature of each phase at a macroscopic level of description. The coupling terms describing the exchange of heat between the phases are obtained by using homogenization techniques originating from [D. Cioranescu, F. Murat,...

Diffusion models of multicomponent mixtures in the lung*

L. Boudin, D. Götz, B. Grec (2010)

ESAIM: Proceedings

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...

Diffusion with dissolution and precipitation in a porous medium: Mathematical analysis and numerical approximation of a simplified model

Nicolas Bouillard, Robert Eymard, Raphaele Herbin, Philippe Montarnal (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Modeling the kinetics of a precipitation dissolution reaction occurring in a porous medium where diffusion also takes place leads to a system of two parabolic equations and one ordinary differential equation coupled with a stiff reaction term. This system is discretized by a finite volume scheme which is suitable for the approximation of the discontinuous reaction term of unknown sign. Discrete solutions are shown to exist and converge towards a weak solution of the continuous problem. Uniqueness...

Direct approach to mean-curvature flow with topological changes

Petr Pauš, Michal Beneš (2009)

Kybernetika

This contribution deals with the numerical simulation of dislocation dynamics. Dislocations are described by means of the evolution of a family of closed or open smooth curves Γ ( t ) : S → ℝ 2 , t ≧ 0 . The curves are driven by the normal velocity v which is the function of curvature κ and the position. The evolution law reads as: v = - κ + F . The motion law is treated using direct approach numerically solved by two schemes, i. e., backward Euler semi-implicit and semi-discrete method of lines. Numerical stability is improved...

Discontinuous Galerkin method for nonlinear convection-diffusion problems with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions

Oto Havle, Vít Dolejší, Miloslav Feistauer (2010)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) applied to the space semidiscretization of a nonlinear nonstationary convection-diffusion problem with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. General nonconforming meshes are used and the NIPG, IIPG and SIPG versions of the discretization of diffusion terms are considered. The main attention is paid to the impact of the Neumann boundary condition prescribed on a part of the boundary on the truncation...

Discontinuous Galerkin semi-Lagrangian method for Vlasov-Poisson

N. Crouseilles, M. Mehrenberger, F. Vecil (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

We present a discontinuous Galerkin scheme for the numerical approximation of the one-dimensional periodic Vlasov-Poisson equation. The scheme is based on a Galerkin-characteristics method in which the distribution function is projected onto a space of discontinuous functions. We present comparisons with a semi-Lagrangian method to emphasize the good behavior of this scheme when applied to Vlasov-Poisson test cases.

Domain decomposition methods for solving the Burgers equation

Robert Cimrman (1999)

Applications of Mathematics

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.

Dual Combined Finite Element Methods For Non-Newtonian Flow (II) Parameter-Dependent Problem

Pingbing Ming, Zhong-ci Shi (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This is the second part of the paper for a Non-Newtonian flow. Dual combined Finite Element Methods are used to investigate the little parameter-dependent problem arising in a nonliner three field version of the Stokes system for incompressible fluids, where the viscosity obeys a general law including the Carreau's law and the Power law. Certain parameter-independent error bounds are obtained which solved the problem proposed by Baranger in [4] in a unifying way. We also give some stable finite...

Dual-mixed finite element methods for the Navier-Stokes equations

Jason S. Howell, Noel J. Walkington (2013)

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

A mixed finite element method for the Navier–Stokes equations is introduced in which the stress is a primary variable. The variational formulation retains the mathematical structure of the Navier–Stokes equations and the classical theory extends naturally to this setting. Finite element spaces satisfying the associated inf–sup conditions are developed.
