Fast singular oscillating limits and global regularity for the 3D primitive equations of geophysics
Fast Singular Oscillating Limits and Global Regularity for the 3D Primitive Equations of Geophysics
Fast singular oscillating limits of the three-dimensional "primitive" equations of geophysical fluid flows are analyzed. We prove existence on infinite time intervals of regular solutions to the 3D "primitive" Navier-Stokes equations for strong stratification (large stratification parameter N). This uniform existence is proven for periodic or stress-free boundary conditions for all domain aspect ratios, including the case of three wave resonances which yield nonlinear " dimensional" limit equations...
Fault monitoring and fault recovery control for position-moored vessels
This paper addresses fault-tolerant control for position mooring of a shuttle or floating production storage and offloading vessels. A complete framework for fault diagnosis is presented. A loss of a sub-sea mooring line buoyancy element and line breakage are given particular attention, since such failures might cause high-risk abortion of an oil-loading operation. With significant drift forces from waves, non-Gaussian elements dominate forces and the residuals designed for fault diagnosis. Hypothesis...
Ferrero formula and triangle misclosures revisited
Finite element approximations of a glaciology problem
In this paper we study a model problem describing the movement of a glacier under Glen’s flow law and investigated by Colinge and Rappaz [Colinge and Rappaz, ESAIM: M2AN 33 (1999) 395–406]. We establish error estimates for finite element approximation using the results of Chow [Chow, SIAM J. Numer. Analysis 29 (1992) 769–780] and Liu and Barrett [Liu and Barrett, SIAM J. Numer. Analysis 33 (1996) 98–106] and give an analysis of the convergence of the successive approximations used in [Colinge and...

Fluides incompressibles horizontalement visqueux
Motivé par l'étude des fluides tournants entre deux plaques, nous considérons l'équation tridimensionnelle de Navier-Stokes incompressible avec viscosité verticale nulle. Nous démontrons l'existence locale et l'unicité de la solution dans un espace critique (invariant par le changement d'échelle de l'équation). La solution est globale en temps si la donnée initiale est petite par rapport à la viscosité horizontale. Nous obtenons l'unicité de la solution dans un espace plus grand que l'espace des...
