We construct a Roe-type numerical scheme for approximating the solutions of a drift-flux two-phase flow model. The model incorporates a set of highly complex closure laws, and the fluxes are generally not algebraic functions of the conserved variables. Hence, the classical approach of constructing a Roe solver by means of parameter vectors is unfeasible. Alternative approaches for analytically constructing the Roe solver are discussed, and a formulation of the Roe solver valid for general closure...

This work is concerned with the flow of a viscous plastic fluid. We choose a model of Bingham type taking into account inhomogeneous yield limit of the fluid, which is well-adapted in the description of landslides. After setting the general threedimensional problem, the blocking property is introduced. We then focus on necessary and sufficient conditions such that blocking of the fluid occurs. The anti-plane flow in twodimensional and onedimensional cases is considered. A variational formulation...

We demonstrate some a priori estimates of a scheme using stabilization and hybrid interfaces applying to partial differential equations describing miscible displacement in porous media. This system is made of two coupled equations: an anisotropic diffusion equation on the pressure and a convection-diffusion-dispersion equation on the concentration of invading fluid. The anisotropic diffusion operators in both equations require special care while discretizing by a finite volume method SUSHI. Later,...

One shows that the linearized Navier-Stokes equation in $𝒪\subset R^d,d\ge 2$, around an unstable equilibrium solution is exponentially stabilizable in probability by an internal noise controller ${\displaystyle V(t,\xi )=\sum _{i=1}^N{V}_i\left(t\right){\psi }_i\left(\xi \right){\dot{\beta }}_i\left(t\right)}$, $\xi \in 𝒪$, where ${\left\{{\beta }_i\right\}}_{i=1}^N$ are independent Brownian motions in a probability space and ${\left\{{\psi }_i\right\}}_{i=1}^N$ is a system of functions on $𝒪$ with support in an arbitrary open subset ${𝒪}_0\subset 𝒪$. The stochastic control input ${\left\{V_i\right\}}_{i=1}^N$ is found in feedback form. One constructs also a tangential boundary noise controller which exponentially stabilizes in probability the equilibrium...

We consider the Euler equations for compressible fluids in a nozzle whose cross-section is variable and may contain discontinuities. We view these equations as a hyperbolic system in nonconservative form and investigate weak solutions in the sense of Dal Maso, LeFloch and Murat [J. Math. Pures Appl.74 (1995) 483–548]. Observing that the entropy equality has a fully conservative form, we derive a minimum entropy principle satisfied by entropy solutions. We then establish the stability of a class...

This paper deals with the flow problem of a viscous plastic fluid in a cylindrical pipe. In order to approximate this problem governed by a variational inequality, we apply the nonconforming mortar finite element method. By using appropriate techniques, we are able to prove the convergence of the method and to obtain the same convergence rate as in the conforming case.
