Lagrange multipliers and variational methods for equilibrium problems of fluids
Lagrangian and moving mesh methods for the convection diffusion equation
We propose and analyze a semi Lagrangian method for the convection-diffusion equation. Error estimates for both semi and fully discrete finite element approximations are obtained for convection dominated flows. The estimates are posed in terms of the projections constructed in [Chrysafinos and Walkington, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 43 (2006) 2478–2499; Chrysafinos and Walkington, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 44 (2006) 349–366] and the dependence of various constants upon the diffusion parameter is ...

Local preconditioners for steady and unsteady flow applications
Preconditioners for hyperbolic systems are numerical artifacts to accelerate the convergence to a steady state. In addition, the preconditioner should also be included in the artificial viscosity or upwinding terms to improve the accuracy of the steady state solution. For time dependent problems we use a dual time stepping approach. The preconditioner affects the convergence rate and the accuracy of the subiterations within each physical time step. We consider two types of local preconditioners:...

Lower and upper bounds for the Rayleigh conductivity of a perforated plate
Lower and upper bounds for the Rayleigh conductivity of a perforation in a thick plate are usually derived from intuitive approximations and by physical reasoning. This paper addresses a mathematical justification of these approaches. As a byproduct of the rigorous handling of these issues, some improvements to previous bounds for axisymmetric holes are given as well as new estimates for tilted perforations. The main techniques are a proper use of the Dirichlet and Kelvin variational principlesin...
Low-Mach consistency of a class of linearly implicit schemes for the compressible Euler equations
In this note, we give an overview of the authors’ paper [6] which deals with asymptotic consistency of a class of linearly implicit schemes for the compressible Euler equations. This class is based on a linearization of the nonlinear fluxes at a reference state and includes the scheme of Feistauer and Kučera [3] as well as the class of RS-IMEX schemes [8,5,1] as special cases. We prove that the linearization gives an asymptotically consistent solution in the low-Mach limit under the assumption of...
