Coexistence of Ordered and Disordered Phases in Potts Models in the Continuum

This is the second of two papers on a continuum version of the Potts model, where particles are points in ℝ ^d , d≥2, with a spin which may take S≥3 possible values. Particles with different spins repel each other via a Kac pair potential of range γ ⁻¹, γ>0. In this paper we prove phase transition, namely we prove that if the scaling parameter of the Kac potential is suitably small, given any temperature there is a value of the chemical potential such that at the given temperature and chemical potential there exist S+1 mutually distinct DLR measures.

Development of new triangular elements for free surface flows

New finite elements have been developed to simulate steady and unsteady two-dimensional free surface flows. The depth-averaged velocity components with the free surface elevation have been used as independent variables in the model. The differences between the various elements presented lie in the choice of velocity approximation. The Newton–Raphson method has been used to solve the non-linear system of equations. Emphasis is put on bench-mark examples to assess the accuracy and efficiency of the elements. A simple stable new element tested herein shows promising advantages for industrial finite element codes.     

Combined finite element and spectral approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations

Summary We present a method for the numerical approximation of Navier-Stokes equations with one direction of periodicity. In this direction a Fourier pseudospectral method is used, in the two others a standard F.E.M. is applied. We prove optimal rate of convergence where the two parameters of discretization intervene independently.

Approximation des équations de Navier-Stokes par une méthode éléments finis-spectrale Fourier

Resumé On présente une méthode d'approximation numérique des équations de Navier-Stokes possédant une direction de périodicité. Dans cette direction une méthode pseudospectrale basée sur des développements en série de Fourier est utilisée, dans les deux autres on applique une méthode d'éléments finis standard. On montre que la convergence est optimale et que les deux paramètres de discrétisation peuvent être choisis de façon indépendante.
