Abstract

We consider a fully discrete loosely coupled scheme for incompressible fluid-structure interaction based on the time semi-discrete splitting method introduced in {\emph{[Burman, Durst \& Guzmán, arXiv:1911.06760]}}. The splittling method uses a Robin-Robin type coupling that allows for a segregated solution of the solid and the fluid systems, without inner iterations. For the discretisation in space we consider piecewise affine continuous finite elements for all the fields and ensure the inf-sup condition by using a Brezzi-Pitkäranta type pressure stabilization. The interfacial fluid-stresses are evaluated in a variationally consistent fashion, that is shown to admit an equivalent Lagrange multiplier formulation. We prove that the method is unconditionally stable and robust with respect to the amount of added-mass in the system. Furthermore, we provide an error estimate that shows the error in the natural energy norm for the system is $\mathcal O\big(\sqrt{T}(\sqrt{Δt} + h)\big)$ where $T$ is the final time, $Δt$ the time-step length and $h$ the space discretization parameter.

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.
