Structure-preserving, weighted implicit-explicit schemes for multi-phase incompressible Navier-Stokes/Darcy coupled nonlocal Allen-Cahn model

Abstract

A multitude of substances exist as mixtures comprising multiple chemical components in the natural world. These substances undergo morphological changes under external influences. the phase field model coupled with fluid flow, the dynamic movement and evolution of the phase interface intricately interact with the fluid motion. This article focuses on the N-component models that couple the conservative Allen-Cahn equation with two types of incompressible fluid flow systems: the Navier-Stokes equation and the Darcy equation. By utilizing the scalar auxiliary variable method and the projection method, we innovatively construct two types of structure-preserving weighted implicit-explicit schemes for the coupled models, resulting in fully decoupled linear systems and second-order accuracy in time. The schemes are proved to be mass-conservative. In addition, with the application of $G$-norm inspired by the idea of $G$-stability, we rigorously establish its unconditional energy stability. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheme is verified by some numerical simulations.

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.
