Solitary wave solution to Aw-Rascle viscous model of traffic flow

A traveling wave solution to the Aw-Rascle traffic flow model that includes the relaxation and diffusion terms is investigated. The model can be approximated by the well-known Kortweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. A numerical simulation is conducted by the first-order accurate Lax-Friedrichs scheme, which is known for its ability to capture the entropy solution to hyperbolic conservation laws. Periodic boundary conditions are applied to simulate a lengthy propagation, where the profile of the derived KdV solution is taken as the initial condition to observe the change of the profile. The simulation shows good agreement between the approximated KdV solution and the numerical solution.

构造了一维非线性双曲型守恒律方程的一个高精度、高分辨率的广义G odunov型差分格式。其构造思想是:首先将计算区间划分为若干个互不相交的小区间,再根据精度要求等分小区间,通过各细小区间上的单元平均状态变量,重构各等分小区间交界面上的状态变量,并加以校正;其次,利用近似R iem ann解算子求解细小区间交界面上的数值通量,并结合高阶R unge-K u tta TVD方法进行时间离散,得到了高精度的全离散方法。证明了该格式的Mm B特性。然后,将格式推广到一、二维双曲型守恒方程组情形。最后给出了一、二维Eu ler方程组的几个典型的数值算例,验证了格式的高效性。

A filter‐based,mass‐conserving lattice Boltzmann method for immiscible multiphase flows

Some issues of He–Chen–Zhang lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method (referred as HCZ model) (J. Comput. Physics 1999; 152 :642–663) for immiscible multiphase flows with large density ratio are assessed in this paper. An extended HCZ model with a filter technique and mass correction procedure is proposed based on HCZ's LBE multiphase model. The original HCZ model is capable of maintaining a thin interface but is prone to generating unphysical oscillations in surface tension and index function at moderate values of density ratio. With a filtering technique, the monotonic variation of the index function across the interface is maintained with larger density ratio. Kim's surface tension formulation for diffuse–interface method (J. Comput. Physics 2005; 204 :784–804) is then used to remove unphysical oscillation in the surface tension. Furthermore, as the density ratio increases, the effect of velocity divergence term neglected in the original HCZ model causes significant unphysical mass sources near the interface. By keeping the velocity divergence term, the unphysical mass sources near the interface can be removed with large density ratio. The long‐time accumulation of the modeling and/or numerical errors in the HCZ model also results in the error of mass conservation of each dispersed phase. A mass correction procedure is devised to improve the performance of the method in this regard. For flows over a stationary and a rising bubble, and capillary waves with density ratio up to 100, the present approach yields solutions with interface thickness of about five to six lattices and no long‐time diffusion, significantly advancing the performance of the LBE method for multiphase flow simulations.

On the discontinuous Galerkin computation of N‐waves focusing

Sonic boom focusing phenomenon can be predicted using the solution to the nonlinear Tricomi equation which is a hybrid (hyperbolic‐elliptic) second‐order partial differential equation. In this paper, the hyperbolic conservation law form is derived, which is valid in the entire domain. In this manner, the presence of two regions where the equation behaves differently (hyperbolic in the upper and elliptic in the lower half‐plane) is avoided. On the upper boundary, a new mixed boundary condition for the acoustic pressure is employed. The discretization is carried out using a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method combined with a Runge–Kutta total‐variation diminishing scheme. The results show the accuracy of DG methods to solve problems involving sharp gradients and discontinuities. Comparisons with analytical results for the linear case, and other numerical results using classical explicit and compact finite difference schemes and weighted essentially non‐oscillatory schemes are included.

SHORT COMMUNICATION SECTION Some Geometric Flows on Kahler Manifolds

We define a kind of KdV （Korteweg-de Vries） geometric flow for maps from a real line or a circle into a Kahler manifold （N,J,h） with complex structure J and metric h as the generalization of the vortex filament dynamics from a real line or a circle. By using the geometric analysis, the existence of the Cauchy problems of the KdV geometric flows will be investigated in this note.
