Second-order MUSCL schemes based on Dual Mesh Gradient Reconstruction (DMGR)

Christophe Berthon, Yves Coudière, Vivien Desveaux (2014)

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

We discuss new MUSCL reconstructions to approximate the solutions of hyperbolic systems of conservations laws on 2D unstructured meshes. To address such an issue, we write two MUSCL schemes on two overlapping meshes. A gradient reconstruction procedure is next defined by involving both approximations coming from each MUSCL scheme. This process increases the number of numerical unknowns, but it allows to reconstruct very accurate gradients. Moreover a particular attention is paid on the limitation...

Simulation of the Three-Dimensional Flow of Blood Using a Shear-Thinning Viscoelastic Fluid Model

T. Bodnár, K.R. Rajagopal, A. Sequeira (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

This paper is concerned with the numerical simulation of a thermodynamically compatible viscoelastic shear-thinning fluid model, particularly well suited to describe the rheological response of blood, under physiological conditions. Numerical simulations are performed in two idealized three-dimensional geometries, a stenosis and a curved vessel, to investigate the combined effects of flow inertia, viscosity and viscoelasticity in these geometries....

Singular Perturbations For Heart Image Segmentation Tracking

J. Pousin (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this note we give a result of convergence when time goes to infinity for a quasi static linear elastic model, the elastic tensor of which vanishes at infinity. This method is applied to segmentation of medical images, and improves the 'elastic deformable template' model introduced previously.

Smoothness properties of solutions to the nonlinear Stokes problem with nonautonomous potentials

Dominic Breit (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We discuss regularity results concerning local minimizers u : n Ω n of variational integrals like Ω { F ( · , ε ( w ) ) - f · w } d x defined on energy classes of solenoidal fields. For the potential F we assume a ( p , q ) -elliptic growth condition. In the situation without x -dependence it is known that minimizers are of class C 1 , α on an open subset Ω 0 of Ω with full measure if q < p n + 2 n (for n = 2 we have Ω 0 = Ω ). In this article we extend this to the case of nonautonomous integrands. Of course our result extends to weak solutions of the corresponding nonlinear...

Solution of contaminant transport with adsorption in porous media by the method of characteristics

Jozef Kacur, Roger Van Keer (2001)

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

A new approximation scheme is presented for the mathematical model of convection-diffusion and adsorption. The method is based on the relaxation method and the method of characteristics. We prove the convergence of the method and present some numerical experiments in 1D. The results can be applied to the model of contaminant transport in porous media with multi-site, equilibrium and non-equilibrium type of adsorption.
