On the Charney Conjecture of Data Assimilation Employing Temperature Measurements Alone: The Paradigm of 3D Planetary Geostrophic Model

Aseel Farhat, Evelyn Lunasin, Edriss S. Titi (2016)

Mathematics of Climate and Weather Forecasting

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,...

Optimal control and numerical adaptivity for advection–diffusion equations

Luca Dede', Alfio Quarteroni (2005)

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

We propose a general approach for the numerical approximation of optimal control problems governed by a linear advection–diffusion equation, based on a stabilization method applied to the lagrangian functional, rather than stabilizing the state and adjoint equations separately. This approach yields a coherently stabilized control problem. Besides, it allows a straightforward a posteriori error estimate in which estimates of higher order terms are needless. Our a posteriori estimates stems from splitting...

Optimal Convective Heat-Transport

Josef Dalík, Oto Přibyl (2011)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

The one-dimensional steady-state convection-diffusion problem for the unknown temperature y ( x ) of a medium entering the interval ( a , b ) with the temperature y min and flowing with a positive velocity v ( x ) is studied. The medium is being heated with an intensity corresponding to y max - y ( x ) for a constant y max > y min . We are looking for a velocity v ( x ) with a given average such that the outflow temperature y ( b ) is maximal and discuss the influence of the boundary condition at the point b on the “maximizing” function v ( x ) .

Population Growth and Persistence in a Heterogeneous Environment: the Role of Diffusion and Advection

A. B. Ryabov, B. Blasius (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The spatio-temporal dynamics of a population present one of the most fascinating aspects and challenges for ecological modelling. In this article we review some simple mathematical models, based on one dimensional reaction-diffusion-advection equations, for the growth of a population on a heterogeneous habitat. Considering a number of models of increasing complexity we investigate the often contrary roles of advection and diffusion for the persistence of the population. When it is possible we demonstrate...

Reduced basis method for finite volume approximations of parametrized linear evolution equations

Bernard Haasdonk, Mario Ohlberger (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The model order reduction methodology of reduced basis (RB) techniques offers efficient treatment of parametrized partial differential equations (P2DEs) by providing both approximate solution procedures and efficient error estimates. RB-methods have so far mainly been applied to finite element schemes for elliptic and parabolic problems. In the current study we extend the methodology to general linear evolution schemes such as finite volume schemes for parabolic and hyperbolic evolution equations....

Simulation of transport column experiments - tracing tests

Žabka, Vratislav, Šembera, Jan (2010)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

This paper presents the modelling of tracing tests in column experiments. Program Transport was used for the simulation. Its main function is not to predict results of experiments but to compare influence of individual physical and chemical processes to the experiment results. The one-dimensional advection-diffusion model is based on Finite Volume Method; it includes the triple porosity concept, sorption, retardation, and chemical reactions simulated using connected program React from The Geochemist's...
