In the second part of the paper, we compare the solutions produced
in the framework of the conference “Mathematical and numerical
aspects of low Mach number flows” organized by INRIA and MAB in
Porquerolles, June 2004, to the reference solutions described in
Part 1. We make some recommendations on how to produce good
quality solutions, and list a number of pitfalls to be avoided.
There are very few reference solutions in the literature on
non-Boussinesq natural convection flows. We propose here a test
case problem which extends the well-known De Vahl Davis
differentially heated square cavity problem to the case of large
temperature differences for which the Boussinesq approximation is
no longer valid. The paper is split in two parts: in this first
part, we propose as yet unpublished reference solutions for cases
characterized by a non-dimensional temperature difference...
Analyzing the validity and success of a data assimilation algorithmwhen some state variable observations are not available is an important problem in meteorology and engineering. We present an improved data assimilation algorithm for recovering the exact full reference solution (i.e. the velocity and temperature) of the 3D Planetary Geostrophic model, at an exponential rate in time, by employing coarse spatial mesh observations of the temperature alone. This provides, in the case of this paradigm,...
The one-dimensional steady-state convection-diffusion problem for the unknown temperature of a medium entering the interval with the temperature and flowing with a positive velocity is studied. The medium is being heated with an intensity corresponding to for a constant . We are looking for a velocity with a given average such that the outflow temperature is maximal and discuss the influence of the boundary condition at the point on the “maximizing” function .
Viene studiata la stabilità dell’atmosfera in un pianeta ruotante, forzata da un agente esterno ed in presenza di dissipazione. Lo studio vien condotto nelle ipotesi barotropiche e riguarda, per l’effetto delle approssimazioni adottate, solamente quei fenomeni caratterizzati da grandi scale spaziali. In particolare viene studiata la stabilità dei flussi zonali che caratterizzano la circolazione dei maggiori pianeti del sistema solare; ne vengono determinate, servendosi della approssimazione di Galerkin,...
