Abstract

Reg-ROMs are stabilization strategies that leverage spatial filtering to alleviate the spurious numerical oscillations generally displayed by the classical G-ROM in under-resolved numerical simulations of turbulent flows. In this paper, we propose a new Reg-ROM, the time-relaxation ROM (TR-ROM), which filters the marginally resolved scales. We compare the new TR-ROM with the two other Reg-ROMs in current use, i.e., the L-ROM and the EFR-ROM, in the numerical simulation of the turbulent channel flow at $Re_τ = 180$ and $Re_τ = 395$ in both the reproduction and the predictive regimes. For each Reg-ROM, we investigate two different filters: (i) the differential filter (DF), and (ii) a new higher-order algebraic filter (HOAF). In our numerical investigation, we monitor the Reg-ROM performance for the ROM dimension, $N$, and the filter order. We also perform sensitivity studies of the three Reg-ROMs for the time interval, relaxation parameter, and filter radius. The numerical results yield the following conclusions: (i) All three Reg-ROMs are significantly more accurate than the G-ROM and (ii) more accurate than the ROM projection, representing the best theoretical approximation of the training data in the given ROM space. (iii) With the optimal parameter values, the TR-ROM is more accurate than the other two Reg-ROMs in all tests. (iv) For most $N$ values, DF yields the most accurate results for all three Reg-ROMs. (v) The optimal parameters trained in the reproduction regime are also optimal for the predictive regime for most $N$ values. (vi) All three Reg-ROMs are sensitive to the filter radius and the filter order, and the EFR-ROM and the TR-ROM are sensitive to the relaxation parameter. (vii) The optimal range for the filter radius and the effect of relaxation parameter are similar for the two $\rm Re_τ$ values.

Discrete normalized gradient flow for two-component Bose-Einstein condensates: Energy dissipation, global convergence and sharp local convergence behavior

The gradient flow with semi-implicit discretization (GFSI) is the most widely used algorithm for computing the ground state of Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional. We apply GFSI to the two-component scenario with Josephson junction and rotating term, which is one of the most important and topical models in multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates (MBECs), and rigorously establish the following fundamental results for the first time. By introducing a Lagrange multiplier to reformulate GFSI into an equivalent form, we prove its energy dissipation property and global convergence to stationary states. More significantly, we uncover an intrinsic connection between this classical numerical PDE discretization rooted in imaginary-time evolution and Riemannian optimization, a state-of-the-art mathematical framework for manifold-constrained optimization. This connection enables us to fully characterize the local convergence behavior of GFSI within the Riemannian optimization framework. Together with the aforementioned global convergence result, this yields a complete global--local convergence theory for GFSI. Finally, numerical experiments comprehensively validate the theoretically predicted energy dissipation and convergence properties.

Discretization, Uniform-in-Time Estimations and Approximation of Invariant Measures for Nonlinear Stochastic Differential Equations with Non-Uniform Dissipativity

The approximation of invariant measures for nonlinear ergodic stochastic differential equations (SDEs) is a central problem in scientific computing, with important applications in stochastic sampling, physics, and ecology. We first propose an easily applicable explicit Truncated Euler-Maruyama (TEM) scheme and prove its numerical ergodicity in the $L^p$-Wasserstein distance ($p\geqslant 1$). Furthermore, by combining truncation techniques with the coupling method, we establish a uniform-in-time $1/2$-order convergence rate in moments for the TEM scheme. Additionally, leveraging the exponential ergodicity of both the numerical and exact solutions, we derive a $1/2$-order convergence rate for the invariant measures of the TEM scheme and the exact solution in the $L^1$-Wasserstein distance. Finally, two numerical experiments are conducted to validate our theoretical results.

Barotropic-Baroclinic Splitting for Multilayer Shallow Water Models with Exchanges

This work presents the numerical analysis of a barotropic-baroclinic splitting in a nonlinear multilayer framework with exchanges between the layers in terrain-following coordinates. The splitting is formulated as an exact operator splitting. The barotropic step handles free surface evolution and depth-averaged velocity via a well-balanced one-layer model, while the baroclinic step manages vertical exchanges between layers and adjusts velocities to their mean values. We show that the barotropic-baroclinic splitting preserves total energy conservation and meets both a discrete maximum principle and a discrete entropy inequality. Several numerical experiments are presented showing the gain in computational cost, particularly in low Froude simulations, with no loss of accuracy. The benefits of using a well-balancing strategy in the barotropic step to preserve the geostrophic equilibrium are inherited in the overall scheme.
