Abstract

This paper extends the author's previous two-dimensional work with Ou and LeVeque to high-resolution finite volume modeling of systems of fluids and poroelastic media in three dimensions, using logically rectangular mapped grids. A method is described for calculating consistent cell face areas and normal vectors for a finite volume method on a general non-rectilinear hexahedral grid. A novel limiting algorithm is also developed to cope with difficulties encountered in implementing high-resolution finite volume methods for anisotropic media on non-rectilinear grids; the new limiting approach is compatible with any limiter function, and typically reduces solution error even in situations where it is not necessary for correct functioning of the numerical method. Dimensional splitting is used to reduce the computational cost of the solution. The code implementing the three-dimensional algorithms is verified against known plane wave solutions, with particular attention to the performance of the new limiter algorithm in comparison to the classical one. An acoustic wave in brine striking an uneven bed of orthotropic layered sandstone is also simulated in order to demonstrate the capabilities of the simulation code.

Fully spectral scheme for the linear BGK equation on the whole space

In this article, we design a fully spectral method in both space and velocity for a linear inhomogeneous kinetic equation with mass, momentum and energy conservation. We focus on the linear BGK equation with a confinement potential $Φ$, even if the method could be applied to different collision operators. It is based upon the projection on Hermite polynomials in velocity and orthonormal polynomials with respect to the weight $e^{-$Φ$}$ in space. The potential $Φ$ is assumed to be a polynomial. It is, to the author's knowledge, the first scheme which preserves hypocoercive behavior in addition to the conservation laws. These different properties are illustrated numerically on both quadratic and double well potential.

Inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation on bounded domains and Riemannian manifolds

This paper establishes inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation spaces defined on bounded Lipschitz domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and compact Riemannian manifolds. While inverse inequalities are well-studied for polynomial spaces, their extension to kernel-based trial spaces poses significant challenges. For bounded Lipschitz domains, we extend prior Bernstein inequalities, which only apply to a limited range of Sobolev orders, to the full range of lower and upper orders, and derive Nikolskii inequalities that bound $L_\infty$ norms by $L_2$ norms. For compact Riemannian manifolds, we focus on restricted kernels, which are defined as the restriction of positive definite kernels from the ambient Euclidean space to the manifold, and prove their counterparts.

Error Estimates for Hyperbolic Scaling Limits of Linear Kinetic Models on Networks

This paper studies linear discrete kinetic models on networks and their asymptotic behavior in the small Knudsen number limit. For coupling conditions at an n-edge junction under a symmetric formulation, we introduce a change of variables that reformulates the system into n independent initial-boundary value problems. The asymptotic expansions are then constructed and rigorously justified by deriving an error estimate based on the energy method.
