Electrowetting of a 3D drop: numerical modelling with electrostatic vector fields

Patrick Ciarlet Jr., Claire Scheid (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The electrowetting process is commonly used to handle very small amounts of liquid on a solid surface. This process can be modelled mathematically with the help of the shape optimization theory. However, solving numerically the resulting shape optimization problem is a very complex issue, even for reduced models that occur in simplified geometries. Recently, the second author obtained convincing results in the 2D axisymmetric case. In this paper, we propose and analyze a method that is suitable...

Exemples d’instabilités pour des équations d’ondes non linéaires

Guy Métivier (2002/2003)

Séminaire Bourbaki

Le but de l’exposé est de donner un guide de lecture pour un article de Gilles Lebeau où il est montré que le problème de Cauchy pour l’équation d’onde surcritique ( t 2 - Δ x ) u + u p = 0 est mal posé au sens de Hadamard dans l’espace d’énergie, pour p 7 en dimension 3. La preuve repose sur des constructions d’optique géométrique et des analyses d’instabilité dans des régimes fortement non linéaires. On donnera les étapes de l’analyse en essayant de les situer dans leur contexte plus général : construction de solutions...

Existence and asymptotics of solutions of the Debye-Nernst-Planck system in ℝ²

Agnieszka Herczak, Michał Olech (2009)

Banach Center Publications

We investigate a system describing electrically charged particles in the whole space ℝ². Our main goal is to describe large time behavior of solutions which start their evolution from initial data of small size. This is achieved using radially symmetric self-similar solutions.

Expansion for the superheating field in a semi-infinite film in the weak- κ limit

Pierre Del Castillo (2002)

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

Dorsey, Di Bartolo and Dolgert (Di Bartolo et al., 1996; 1997) have constructed asymptotic matched solutions at order two for the half-space Ginzburg-Landau model, in the weak- κ limit. These authors deduced a formal expansion for the superheating field in powers of κ 1 2 up to order four, extending the formula by De Gennes (De Gennes, 1966) and the two terms in Parr’s formula (Parr, 1976). In this paper, we construct asymptotic matched solutions at all orders leading to a complete expansion in powers...
