On the simulation of incompressible, miscible displacement in a naturally fractured petroleum reservoir
On the temperature distribution in cold ice
The linear heat equation predicts that the variations of temperature along a cold ice sheet {i.e. at a temperature less than is freezing point) due to a sudden increase in air temperature, are very very slow. Based on this we represent the nonlinear evolution of an ice sheet as a sequence of steady states. As a first fundamental indication that this model is correct well posedness with respect to the variations of initial and boundary data is proved. Further an estimate of the error made in evaluating...
On the tidal motion around the earth complicated by the circular geometry of the ocean's shape.
On the two-dimensional compressible isentropic Navier–Stokes equations
We analyze the compressible isentropic Navier–Stokes equations (Lions, 1998) in the two-dimensional case with . These equations also modelize the shallow water problem in height-flow rate formulation used to solve the flow in lakes and perfectly well-mixed sea. We establish a convergence result for the time-discretized problem when the momentum equation and the continuity equation are solved with the Galerkin method, without adding a penalization term in the continuity equation as it is made in...

On the von Neumann problem and the approximate controllability of Stackelberg-Nash strategies for some environmental problems.
Two problems arising in Environment are considered. The first one concerns a conjecture posed by von Neumann in 1955 on the possible modification of the albedo in order to control the Earth surface temperature. The second one is related to the approximate controllability of Stackelberg-Nash strategies for some optimization problems as, for instance, the pollution control in a lake. The results of the second part were obtained in collaboration with Jacques-Lois Lions.
