Abstract

In this contribution, we study the theoretical and numerical stability of a bidimensional relative velocity lattice Boltzmann scheme. These relative velocity schemes introduce a velocity field parameter called "relative velocity" function of space and time. They generalize the d'Humières multiple relaxation times scheme and the cascaded automaton. This contribution studies the stability of a four velocities scheme applied to a single linear advection equation according to the value of this relative velocity. We especially compare when it is equal to 0 (multiple relaxation times scheme) or to the advection velocity ("cascaded like" scheme). The comparison is made in terms of L1 and L2 stability. The L1 stability area is fully described in terms of relaxation parameters and advection velocity for the two choices of relative velocity. These results establish that no hierarchy of these two choices exists for the L1 notion. Instead, choosing the parameter equal to the advection velocity improves the numerical L2 stability of the scheme. This choice cancels some dispersive terms and improve the numerical stability on a representative test case. We theoretically strengthen these results with a weighted L2 notion of stability.

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.
