Finite element approximation of finitely extensible nonlinear elastic dumbbell models for dilute polymers

John W. Barrett, Endre Süli (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We construct a Galerkin finite element method for the numerical approximation of weak solutions to a general class of coupled FENE-type finitely extensible nonlinear elastic dumbbell models that arise from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids with noninteracting polymer chains. The class of models involves the unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝd, d = 2 or 3, for the velocity...

Finite element approximation of kinetic dilute polymer models with microscopic cut-off

John W. Barrett, Endre Süli (2011)

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

We construct a Galerkin finite element method for the numerical approximation of weak solutions to a coupled microscopic-macroscopic bead-spring model that arises from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids with noninteracting polymer chains. The model consists of the unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ d ,d= 2 or 3, for the velocity and the pressure of the fluid, with an elastic extra-stress tensor as right-hand side in the momentum equation....

Finite element solution of the fundamental equations of semiconductor devices. II

Miloš Zlámal (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

In part I of the paper (see Zlámal [13]) finite element solutions of the nonstationary semiconductor equations were constructed. Two fully discrete schemes were proposed. One was nonlinear, the other partly linear. In this part of the paper we justify the nonlinear scheme. We consider the case of basic boundary conditions and of constant mobilities and prove that the scheme is unconditionally stable. Further, we show that the approximate solution, extended to the whole time interval as a piecewise...

Finite volume scheme for multi-dimensional drift-diffusion equations and convergence analysis

Claire Chainais-Hillairet, Jian-Guo Liu, Yue-Jun Peng (2003)

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

We introduce a finite volume scheme for multi-dimensional drift-diffusion equations. Such equations arise from the theory of semiconductors and are composed of two continuity equations coupled with a Poisson equation. In the case that the continuity equations are non degenerate, we prove the convergence of the scheme and then the existence of solutions to the problem. The key point of the proof relies on the construction of an approximate gradient of the electric potential which allows us to deal...

Fokker-Planck equation in bounded domain

Laurent Chupin (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the existence and the uniqueness of a solution  ϕ to the linear Fokker-Planck equation - Δ ϕ + div ( ϕ F ) = f in a bounded domain of  d when F is a “confinement” vector field. This field acting for instance like the inverse of the distance to the boundary. An illustration of the obtained results is given within the framework of fluid mechanics and polymer flows.
