Fast method to simulate dynamics of two-phase medium with intense interaction between phases by smoothed particle hydrodynamics: gas-dust mixture with polydisperse particles, linear drag, one-dimensional tests

Abstract

To simulate the dynamics of fluid with polydisperse particles on macroscale level, one has to solve hydrodynamic equations with several relaxation terms, representing momentum transfer from fluid to particles and vice versa. For small particles, velocity relaxation time (stopping time) can be much shorter than dynamical time of fluid \textcolor{red}{that makes} this problem stiff and thus computationally expensive. We present a new fast method for computing several stiff drag terms in two-phase polydisperse medium with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). In our implementation, fluid and every fraction of dispersed phase are simulated with different sets of particles. The method is based on (1) linear interpolation of velocity values in drag terms, (2) implicit approximation of drag terms that conserves momentum with machine precision\textcolor{red}{,} and (3) solution of system of $N$ linear algebraic equations with $O(N^2)$ arithmetic operation instead of $O(N^3)$. We studied the properties of the proposed method on one-dimensional problems with known solutions. We found that we can obtain acceptable accuracy of the results with numerical resolution independent of short stopping time values. All simulation results discussed in the paper are obtained with \textcolor{red}{open source} software.

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.
