Validation of numerical simulations of a simple immersed boundary solver for fluid flow in branching channels

Keslerová, Radka, Lancmanová, Anna, Bodnár, Tomáš (2023)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

This work deals with the flow of incompressible viscous fluids in a two-dimensional branching channel. Using the immersed boundary method, a new finite difference solver was developed to interpret the channel geometry. The numerical results obtained by this new solver are compared with the numerical simulations of the older finite volume method code and with the results obtained with OpenFOAM. The aim of this work is to verify whether the immersed boundary method is suitable for fluid flow in channels...

Variable depth KdV equations and generalizations to more nonlinear regimes

Samer Israwi (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We study here the water waves problem for uneven bottoms in a highly nonlinear regime where the small amplitude assumption of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is enforced. It is known that, for such regimes, a generalization of the KdV equation (somehow linked to the Camassa-Holm equation) can be derived and justified [Constantin and Lannes, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 192 (2009) 165–186] when the bottom is flat. We generalize here this result with a new class of equations taking into account...

Variational characterization of eigenvalues of a non-symmetric eigenvalue problem governing elastoacoustic vibrations

Markus Stammberger, Heinrich Voss (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

Small amplitude vibrations of an elastic structure completely filled by a fluid are considered. Describing the structure by displacements and the fluid by its pressure field one arrives at a non-selfadjoint eigenvalue problem. Taking advantage of a Rayleigh functional we prove that its eigenvalues can be characterized by variational principles of Rayleigh, minmax and maxmin type.

Variational particle schemes for the porous medium equation and for the system of isentropic Euler equations

Michael Westdickenberg, Jon Wilkening (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Both the porous medium equation and the system of isentropic Euler equations can be considered as steepest descents on suitable manifolds of probability measures in the framework of optimal transport theory. By discretizing these variational characterizations instead of the partial differential equations themselves, we obtain new schemes with remarkable stability properties. We show that they capture successfully the nonlinear features of the flows, such as shocks and rarefaction waves for...

Variational theory of non-perfect relativistic fluids.

A. Fernández, P. L. García (1999)

Extracta Mathematicae

A basic question in General Relativity from the point of view of the general field theory is to obtain the Einstein equations coupled with the stress-energy-momentum tensor of a dissipative fluid from a variational principle. We believe that this problem, whose solution for perfect fluids is well known, has not been faced in a systematic way, maybe by the thought of a possible nonsense, for the concept of dissipation is believed to be incompatible with the essentially conservative character of the...

Vertex centred Discretization of Two-Phase Darcy flows on General Meshes

Robert Eymard, Cindy Guichard, Raphaèle Herbin, Roland Masson (2012)

ESAIM: Proceedings

This paper concerns the discretization of multiphase Darcy flows, in the case of heterogeneous anisotropic porous media and general 3D meshes used in practice to represent reservoir and basin geometries. An unconditionally coercive and symmetric vertex centred approach is introduced in this paper. This scheme extends the Vertex Approximate Gradient scheme (VAG), already introduced for single phase diffusive problems in [9], to multiphase Darcy flows....

Vertical compaction in a faulted sedimentary basin

Gérard Gagneux, Roland Masson, Anne Plouvier-Debaigt, Guy Vallet, Sylvie Wolf (2003)

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

In this paper, we consider a 2D mathematical modelling of the vertical compaction effect in a water saturated sedimentary basin. This model is described by the usual conservation laws, Darcy’s law, the porosity as a function of the vertical component of the effective stress and the Kozeny-Carman tensor, taking into account fracturation effects. This model leads to study the time discretization of a nonlinear system of partial differential equations. The existence is obtained by a fixed-point argument....
