Fundamental solutions in the linear theory of consolidation for elastic solids with double porosity

This paper concerns the theory of consolidation for elastic solids with double porosity, and the governing fully coupled linear quasi-static equations are considered. The system of these equations is based on the equilibrium equations for a solid, conservation of fluid mass, the effective stress concept, and Darcy’s law for material with double porosity. Two levels of spatial cases of consolidation theory for a solid with double porosity are considered: equations of steady vibrations and equations of equilibrium. The fundamental solutions of these equations are constructed by means of elementary functions. Finally, the basic properties of these solutions are established.     

Analytical study of the two-dimensional time-fractional Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, the two-dimensional (2D) Holf-Cole transformation with mass conservation in the frame of conformable derivative is developed, and then by introducing some exact solutions that satisfy linear differential equations and using the symbolic computation method, four exact solutions of 2D-nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations (NSEs) with the conformable time-fractional derivative are established. Some physical properties of the exact solutions are described preliminarily. Our results are the first ones on analytical study for the 2D time-fractional NSEs.     

Conservative finite difference schemes for the generalized Zakharov–Kuznetsov equations

This paper is concerned with the construction of conservative finite difference schemes by means of discrete variational method for the generalized Zakharov–Kuznetsov equations and the numerical solvability of the two-dimensional nonlinear wave equations. A finite difference scheme is proposed such that mass and energy conservation laws associated with the generalized Zakharov–Kuznetsov equations hold. Our arguments are based on the procedure that D. Furihata has recently developed for real-valued nonlinear partial differential equations. Numerical results are given to confirm the accuracy as well as validity of the numerical solutions and then exhibit remarkable nonlinear phenomena of the interaction and behavior of pulse wave solutions.     

Multiple stationary solutions of euler-poisson equations for non-isentropic gaseous stars

The motion of the self-gravitational gaseous stars can be described by the Euler-Poisson equations. The main purpose of this paper is concerned with the existence of stationary solutions of Euler-Poisson equations for some velocity fields and entropy functions that solve the conservation of mass and energy. Under different restriction to the strength of velocity field, we get the existence and multiplicity of the stationary solutions of Euler-Poisson system.     

Analysis of a delayed mathematical model for tumor growth

In this paper, a delayed mathematical model of a nonlinear reaction–diffusion equations modeling the growth of tumors is studied. The establishment of the model is based on the diffusion of nutrient and mass conservation for the two-process proliferation and apoptosis (cell death due to aging). It is assumed that the process of proliferation is delayed compared to apoptosis.Nonnegativity of the solutions and stability of stationary solutions are studied in the paper. The results show that the dynamical behavior of the solutions of the model is similar to that of the solutions for the corresponding non-retarded problem under some assumptions.

Boundary value problems in the theory of thermoporoelasticity for materials with double porosity

In this paper the linear quasi-static theory of thermoelasticity for solids with double porosity is considered. The system of equations of this theory is based on the equilibrium equations for solids with double porosity, conservation of fluid mass, constitutive equations, Darcy's law for materials with double porosity and Fourier's law for heat conduction. The basic internal and external boundary value problems (BVPs) of steady vibrations are formulated. The uniqueness and existence theorems for classical solutions of the above mentioned BVPs are proved by means of the potential method (boundary integral equation method) and the theory of singular integral equations.

Cahn–Hilliard and thin film equations with nonlinear mobility as gradient flows in weighted-Wasserstein metrics

In this paper, we establish a novel approach to proving existence of non-negative weak solutions for degenerate parabolic equations of fourth order, like the Cahn–Hilliard and certain thin film equations. The considered evolution equations are in the form of a gradient flow for a perturbed Dirichlet energy with respect to a Wasserstein-like transport metric, and weak solutions are obtained as curves of maximal slope. Our main assumption is that the mobility of the particles is a concave function of their spatial density. A qualitative difference of our approach to previous ones is that essential properties of the solution – non-negativity, conservation of the total mass and dissipation of the energy – are automatically guaranteed by the construction from minimizing movements in the energy landscape.     

Quasi-acoustic scheme for the Euler equations of gas dynamics

We suggest an original scheme and an algorithm for the numerical solution of the Euler equations of gas dynamics. The construction of the scheme is based on the mass, momentum, and energy conservation laws. The flux computation is carried out by summation of elementary fluxes formed by small-amplitude running waves that satisfy the linearized equations of gas dynamics. The scheme contains no artificial regularizers, has second-order accuracy on smooth solutions, and is quasimonotone in a neighborhood of the discontinuities. Examples of one- and two-dimensional computations are given.     

On signed measure valued solutions of stochastic evolution equations

We study existence, uniqueness and mass conservation of signed measure valued solutions of a class of stochastic evolution equations with respect to the Wiener sheet, including as particular cases the stochastic versions of the regularized two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations in vorticity form introduced by Kotelenez.     

Group properties and conservation laws for nonlocal shallow water wave equation

Symmetry groups, symmetry reductions, optimal system, conservation laws and invariant solutions of the shallow water wave equation with nonlocal term are studied. First, Lie symmetries based on the invariance criterion for nonlocal equations and the solution approach for nonlocal determining equations are found and then the reduced equations and optimal system are obtained. Finally, new conservation laws are generated and some similarity solutions for symmetry reduction forms are discussed.     

Construction of minimal mass blow-up solutions to rough nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We study the focusing mass-critical rough nonlinear Schrödinger equations, where the stochastic integration is taken in the sense of controlled rough path. In both dimensions one and two, the minimal mass blow-up solutions are constructed, which behave asymptotically like the pseudo-conformal blow-up solutions near the blow-up time. Furthermore, the global well-posedness is obtained if the mass of initial data is below that of the ground state. These results yield that the mass of ground state is exactly the threshold of global well-posedness and blow-up in the stochastic focusing mass-critical case. Similar results are also obtained for a class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with lower order perturbations, particularly in the absence of the standard pseudo-conformal symmetry and the conservation law of energy.     

Exact solutions of gasdynamic equations obtained by the method of conservation laws

In the present paper, the recent method of conservation laws for constructing exact solutions for systems of nonlinear partial differential equations is applied to the gasdynamic equations describing one-dimensional and three-dimensional polytropic flows. In the one-dimensional case singular solutions are constructed in closed forms. In the three-dimensional case several conservation laws are used simultaneously. It is shown that the method of conservation laws leads to particular solutions different from group invariant solutions.     

Mechanical Balance Laws for Boussinesq Models of Surface Water Waves

Depth-integrated long-wave models, such as the shallow-water and Boussinesq equations, are standard fare in the study of small amplitude surface waves in shallow water. While the shallow-water theory features conservation of mass, momentum and energy for smooth solutions, mechanical balance equations are not widely used in Boussinesq scaling, and it appears that the expressions for many of these quantities are not known. This work presents a systematic derivation of mass, momentum and energy densities and fluxes associated with a general family of Boussinesq systems. The derivation is based on a reconstruction of the velocity field and the pressure in the fluid column below the free surface, and the derivation of differential balance equations which are of the same asymptotic validity as the evolution equations. It is shown that all these mechanical quantities can be expressed in terms of the principal dependent variables of the Boussinesq system: the surface excursion ?? and the horizontal velocity w at a given level in the fluid.     

Two-Component Two-Compressible Flow in a Porous Medium

We prove existence of solutions of a two-compressible (liquid and gas) phase flow model in porous media with two components (water and hydrogen). This model is obtained by writing the mass conservation for each component in each phase. We suppose that the mass exchange between dissolved hydrogen and hydrogen in the gas phase is supposed finite. This mass exchange is modeled by a source term on each mass conservation equations.     

Two compressible immiscible fluids in porous media

We consider a model of flow of two compressible and immiscible phases in a three-dimensional porous media. The equations are obtained by the conservation of the mass of each phase. This model is treated in its general form with the whole nonlinear terms. The only assumption concerns the dependence of densities on a global pressure. We obtain the existence of weak solutions under different kinds of degeneracies of the capillary terms.     

On conservative spatial discretizations of the barotropic quasi-gasdynamic system of equations with a potential body force

A multidimensional barotropic quasi-gasdynamic system of equations in the form of mass and momentum conservation laws with a general gas equation of state p = p(ρ) with p′(ρ) > 0 and a potential body force is considered. For this system, two new symmetric spatial discretizations on nonuniform rectangular grids are constructed (in which the density and velocity are defined on the basic grid, while the components of the regularized mass flux and the viscous stress tensor are defined on staggered grids). These discretizations involve nonstandard approximations for ?p(ρ), div(ρu), and ρ. As a result, a discrete total mass conservation law and a discrete energy inequality guaranteeing that the total energy does not grow with time can be derived. Importantly, these discretizations have the additional property of being well-balanced for equilibrium solutions. Another conservative discretization is discussed in which all mass flux components and viscous stresses are defined on the same grid. For the simpler barotropic quasi-hydrodynamic system of equations, the corresponding simplifications of the constructed discretizations have similar properties.     

One class of MHD equations: Conservation laws and exact solutions

The paper analyzes one of the models of equations of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) derived earlier. The model was obtained as a result of group classification of the MHD equations in mass Lagrangian coordinates, where all dependent variables in Eulerian coordinates depend on time and two spatial coordinates. The use of Lagrangian coordinates made it possible to solve four equations, which led to the form of reduced equations containing four arbitrary functions: entropy and a three-dimensional vector associated with the magnetic field. The objective of this work is to develop conservation laws and exact solutions for the model. Conservation laws are obtained using Noether's theorem, while exact solutions are obtained either explicitly or by solving a system of ordinary or partial differential equations with two independent variables. Numerical methods are employed for the latter solutions.     

Weak solutions for equations defined by accretive operators II: relaxation limits

In the first part of this paper we define solutions for certain nonlinear equations defined by accretive operators, “dissipative solution”. This kind of solution is equivalent to the viscosity solutions for Hamilton-Jacobi equations and to the entropy solutions for conservation laws.In this paper we use dissipative solutions to obtain several relaxation limits for systems of semilinear transport equations and quasilinear conservation laws. These converge to diffusion second-order equations and in one case to a single conservation law. The relaxation limit is obtained using a version of the perturbed test function method to pass to the limit. This guarantees existence for the considered equations.     

A note on the importance of mass conservation in long-time stability of Navier–Stokes simulations using finite elements

We prove a long-time stability result for the finite element in space, linear extrapolated Crank–Nicolson in time discretization of the Navier–Stokes equations (NSE). From this result and a numerical experiment, we show the importance of discrete mass conservation in long-time simulations of the NSE. That is, we show that using elements that strongly enforce mass conservation can provide significantly more accurate solutions over long times, compared to those that enforce it weakly.
