The 3D Non-isentropic Compressible Euler Equations with Damping in a Bounded Domain

The authors investigate the global existence and asymptotic behavior of classical solutions to the 3D non-isentropic compressible Euler equations with damping on a bounded domain with slip boundary condition. The global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions are obtained when the initial data are near an equilibrium. Furthermore, the exponential convergence rates of the pressure and velocity are also proved by delicate energy methods.     

Upwind finite volume schemes for weakly coupled hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in 2D

Summary. Systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws in two space dimensions are considered which are characterized by the fact that the coupling of the equations is only due to source terms. To solve these weakly coupled systems numerically a class of explicit and implicit upwind finite volume methods on unstructured grids is presented. Provided an unique entropy solution of the system of conservation laws exists we prove that the approximations obtained by these schemes converge for vanishing discretization parameter to this entropy solution. These results are applied to examples from combustion theory and hydrology where the existence of entropy solutions can be shown. The proofs rely on an extension of a result due to DiPerna concerning measure valued solutions to the case of weakly coupled hyperbolic systems. Received April 29, 1997     

A priori error estimates for approximate solutions to convex conservation laws

Summary. We introduce a new technique for proving a priori error estimates between the entropy weak solution of a scalar conservation law and a finite–difference approximation calculated with the scheme of Engquist-Osher, Lax-Friedrichs, or Godunov. This technique is a discrete counterpart of the duality technique introduced by Tadmor [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 1991]. The error is related to the consistency error of cell averages of the entropy weak solution. This consistency error can be estimated by exploiting a regularity structure of the entropy weak solution. One ends up with optimal error estimates. Received December 21, 2001 / Revised version received February 18, 2002 / Published online June 17, 2002     

Error bounds for the large time step Glimm scheme applied to scalar conservation laws

Summary. In this paper we derive an error bound for the large time step, i.e. large Courant number, version of the Glimm scheme when used for the approximation of solutions to a genuinely nonlinear, i.e. convex, scalar conservation law for a generic class of piecewise constant data. We show that the error is bounded by for Courant numbers up to 1. The order of the error is the same as that given by Hoff and Smoller [5] in 1985 for the Glimm scheme under the restriction of Courant numbers up to 1/2.

Existence and asymptotic behavior of C solutions to the multi-dimensional compressible Euler equations with damping

In this paper, the existence and asymptotic behavior of C¹$C^1$ solutions to the multi-dimensional compressible Euler equations with damping on the framework of Besov space are considered. Comparing with the well-posedness results of Sideris–Thomases–Wang [T. Sideris, B. Thomases, D.H. Wang, Long time behavior of solutions to the three-dimensional compressible Euler with damping, Comm. Partial Differential Equations 28 (2003) 953–978], we weaken the regularity assumptions on the initial data. The global existence lies on a crucial a-priori estimate which is obtained by the spectral localization method. The main analytic tools are the Littlewood–Paley decomposition and Bony’s paraproduct formula.     

On the Riemann problem for 2D compressible Euler equations in three pieces

The Riemann problem for two-dimensional isentropic Euler equations is considered. The initial data are three constants in three fan domains forming different angles. Under the assumption that only a rarefaction wave, shock wave or contact discontinuity connects two neighboring constant initial states, it is proved that the cases involving three shock or rarefaction waves are impossible. For the cases involving one rarefaction (shock) wave and two shock (rarefaction) waves, only the combinations when the three elementary waves have the same sign are possible (impossible).     

Convergence to nonlinear diffusion waves for solutions of Euler equations with time-depending damping

In this paper, we are concerned with the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the system of Euler equations with time-depending damping, in particular, include the constant coefficient damping. We rigorously prove that the solutions time-asymptotically converge to the diffusion wave whose profile is self-similar solution to the corresponding parabolic equation, which justifies Darcy's law. Compared with previous results about Euler equations with constant coefficient damping obtained by Hsiao and Liu (1992) [2], and Nishihara (1996) [9], we obtain a general result when the initial perturbation belongs to the same space, i.e. $H^3(\mathbb{R})\times H^2(\mathbb{R})$. Our proof is based on the classical energy method.     

The modeling and numerical simulation of gas flow networks

Summary. A network formulation is introduced for the modeling and numerical simulation of complex gas transmission systems like a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine. Several simulation levels are discussed which result in different network representations of a specific system. Basic elements of a network are chambers of finite volume, straight pipes and connections like valves or nozzles. The pipe flow is modeled by the unsteady, one-dimensional Euler equations of gas dynamics. Semi-empirical approaches for the chambers and the connections yield differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) in time. The numerical solution is based on a TVD scheme for the pipe equations and a predictor-corrector method for the DAE-system. Simulation results for an internal combustion engine demonstrate the practical interest of the new approach. Received May 12, 1994 / Revised version received August 26, 1994

Methods for computing lower bounds to eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators

Summary. New approaches for computing tight lower bounds to the eigenvalues of a class of semibounded self-adjoint operators are presented that require comparatively little a priori spectral information and permit the effective use of (among others) finite-element trial functions. A variant of the method of intermediate problems making use of operator decompositions having the form is reviewed and then developed into a new framework based on recent inertia results in the Weinstein-Aronszajn theory. This framework provides greater flexibility in analysis and permits the formulation of a final computational task involving sparse, well-structured matrices. Although our derivation is based on an intermediate problem formulation, our results may be specialized to obtain either the Temple-Lehmann method or Weinberger's matrix method.

Analysis of a finite element method for the drift-diffusion semiconductor device equations: the multidimensional case

Summary. An explicit finite element method for numerically solving the drift-diffusion semiconductor device equations in two space dimensions is analyzed. The method is based on the use of a mixed finite element method for the approximation of the electric field and a discontinuous upwinding finite element method for the approximation of the electron and hole concentrations. The mixed method gives an approximate electric field in the precise form needed by the discontinuous method, which is trivially conservative and fully parallelizable. It is proven that the method produces uniformly bounded concentrations and electric fields and that it converges to the exact solution provided there is a convergent subsequence of the electron concentrations. Numerical simulations are presented that display the performance of the method and indicate the behavior of the solution. Received September 9, 1993 / Revised version received May 25, 1994     

Finite element analysis of varitional crimes for a quasilinear elliptic problem in 3D

Summary. We examine a finite element approximation of a quasilinear boundary value elliptic problem in a three-dimensional bounded convex domain with a smooth boundary. The domain is approximated by a polyhedron and a numerical integration is taken into account. We apply linear tetrahedral finite elements and prove the convergence of approximate solutions on polyhedral domains in the -norm to the true solution without any additional regularity assumptions.

The approximation theory for the p-version finite element method and application to non-linear elliptic PDEs

Approximation theoretic results are obtained for approximation using continuous piecewise polynomials of degree p on meshes of triangular and quadrilateral elements. Estimates for the rate of convergence in Sobolev spaces , are given. The results are applied to estimate the rate of convergence when the p-version finite element method is used to approximate the -Laplacian. It is shown that the rate of convergence of the p-version is always at least that of the h-version (measured in terms of number of degrees of freedom used). If the solution is very smooth then the p-version attains an exponential rate of convergence. If the solution has certain types of singularity, the rate of convergence of the p-version is twice that of the h-version. The analysis generalises the work of Babuska and others to the case . In addition, the approximation theoretic results find immediate application for some types of spectral and spectral element methods. Received August 2, 1995 / Revised version received January 26, 1998
