Variational particle schemes for the porous medium equation and for the system of isentropic Euler equations

Michael Westdickenberg, Jon Wilkening (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Both the porous medium equation and the system of isentropic Euler equations can be considered as steepest descents on suitable manifolds of probability measures in the framework of optimal transport theory. By discretizing these variational characterizations instead of the partial differential equations themselves, we obtain new schemes with remarkable stability properties. We show that they capture successfully the nonlinear features of the flows, such as shocks and rarefaction waves for...

Vertex centred Discretization of Two-Phase Darcy flows on General Meshes

Robert Eymard, Cindy Guichard, Raphaèle Herbin, Roland Masson (2012)

ESAIM: Proceedings

This paper concerns the discretization of multiphase Darcy flows, in the case of heterogeneous anisotropic porous media and general 3D meshes used in practice to represent reservoir and basin geometries. An unconditionally coercive and symmetric vertex centred approach is introduced in this paper. This scheme extends the Vertex Approximate Gradient scheme (VAG), already introduced for single phase diffusive problems in [9], to multiphase Darcy flows....

Vorticity dynamics and numerical resolution of Navier-Stokes equations

Matania Ben-Artzi, Dalia Fishelov, Shlomo Trachtenberg (2001)

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

We present a new methodology for the numerical resolution of the hydrodynamics of incompressible viscid newtonian fluids. It is based on the Navier-Stokes equations and we refer to it as the vorticity projection method. The method is robust enough to handle complex and convoluted configurations typical to the motion of biological structures in viscous fluids. Although the method is applicable to three dimensions, we address here in detail only the two dimensional case. We provide numerical data...
