Uniform null controllability of the heat equation with rapidly oscillating periodic density

We consider the heat equation with fast oscillating periodic density, and an interior control in a bounded domain. First, we prove sharp convergence estimates depending explicitly on the initial data for the corresponding uncontrolled equation; these estimates are new, and their proof relies on a judicious smoothing of the initial data. Then we use those estimates to prove that the original equation is uniformly null controllable, provided a carefully chosen extra vanishing interior control is added to that equation. This uniform controllability result is the first in the multidimensional setting for the heat equation with oscillating density. Finally, we prove that the sequence of null controls converges to the optimal null control of the limit equation when the period tends to zero. To cite this article: L. Tebou, C. R. Acad. Sci.

A finite element method for elliptic problems with rapidly oscillating coefficients

In this paper, we consider solving second-order elliptic problems with rapidly oscillating coefficients. Under the assumption that the oscillating coefficients are periodic, on the basis of classical homogenization theory, we present a finite element method whose key is to combine a numerical approximation of the 1-order approximate solution of those equations and a numerical approximation of the classical boundary corrector of those equations from different meshes exploiting the need for different levels of resolution. Numerical experiments are included to illustrate the competitive behavior of the proposed finite element method.     

Convergence of a multiscale finite element method for elliptic problems with rapidly oscillating coefficients

We propose a multiscale finite element method for solving second order elliptic equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients. The main purpose is to design a numerical method which is capable of correctly capturing the large scale components of the solution on a coarse grid without accurately resolving all the small scale features in the solution. This is accomplished by incorporating the local microstructures of the differential operator into the finite element base functions. As a consequence, the base functions are adapted to the local properties of the differential operator. In this paper, we provide a detailed convergence analysis of our method under the assumption that the oscillating coefficient is of two scales and is periodic in the fast scale. While such a simplifying assumption is not required by our method, it allows us to use homogenization theory to obtain a useful asymptotic solution structure. The issue of boundary conditions for the base functions will be discussed. Our numerical experiments demonstrate convincingly that our multiscale method indeed converges to the correct solution, independently of the small scale in the homogenization limit. Application of our method to problems with continuous scales is also considered.

Modified iteration method for solving fractional gas dynamics equation

This paper is devoted to the time‐fractional gas dynamics equation with Caputo derivative. Fractional operators are very natural tools to model memory‐dependent phenomena. Modified iteration method is proposed to obtain the approximate and analytical solution of the fractional gas dynamics equation. This method is a combined form of the new iteration method and Laplace transform. Modified iteration method really is powerful and simple method compared with other methods. Existence and uniqueness of solution are proven. Numerical results for different cases of the equation are obtained. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Boundary value problem for an elliptic equation with rapidly oscillating coefficients in a rectangle

An elliptic equation in a rectangle with coefficients depending on a fast variable and with its period being a small parameter is considered. An asymptotic expansion of the solution up to an arbitrary degree of the small parameter is constructed and substantiated by applying the two-scale expansion method.

Averaging the trajectory attractor of a nonlinear wave equation with rapidly oscillating right-hand side

We consider a nonlinear nonautonomous hyperbolic equation with dissipation and with a small parameter multiplying the highest derivative with respect to time. This equation also involves a rapidly oscillating external force. Using a standard technique for constructing the trajectory attractor, we can prove the convergence of the attractor of a nonlinear nonautonomous hyperbolic equation with dissipation to the attractor of the corresponding parabolic equation.     

Kinetic schemes for the relativistic gas dynamics

Summary. A kinetic solution for the relativistic Euler equations is presented. This solution describes the flow of a perfect gas in terms of the particle density n, the spatial part of the four-velocity u and the inverse temperature . In this paper we present a general framework for the kinetic scheme of relativistic Euler equations which covers the whole range from the non-relativistic limit to the ultra-relativistic limit. The main components of the kinetic scheme are described now. (i) There are periods of free flight of duration _M, where the gas particles move according to the free kinetic transport equation. (ii) At the maximization times t_n=n_M, the beginning of each of these free-flight periods, the gas particles are in local equilibrium, which is described by Jüttners relativistic generalization of the classical Maxwellian phase density. (iii) At each new maximization time t_n>0 we evaluate the so called continuity conditions, which guarantee that the kinetic scheme satisfies the conservation laws and the entropy inequality. These continuity conditions determine the new initial data at t_n. iv If in addition adiabatic boundary conditions are prescribed, we can incorporate a natural reflection method into the kinetic scheme in order to solve the initial and boundary value problem. In the limit _M0 we obtain the weak solutions of Eulers equations including arbitrary shock interactions. We also present a numerical shock reflection test which confirms the validity of our kinetic approach.

Simulation of particle dynamics in a rapidly varying viscous flow

A method for the numerical simulation of the dynamics of particles in a rapidly varying viscous flow has been developed and implemented as a software package. The frequency of variations in the fluid velocity is assumed to be such that the nonlinear terms in the equations of motion can be neglected in comparison with the nonstationary terms. The hydrodynamic interaction of the particles is taken into account. The velocities of the particles and their trajectories are computed. It is found that the trajectories of the particles depend substantially on the ratio of their radii. In the case of dipole particles in a rapidly varying external magnetic field, the hydrodynamic interaction is shown to prevent the particles from approaching each other under the influence of dipole-dipole interaction forces.
