Abstract

This paper proposes a Hermite-kernel realization of the conjugate filter oscillation reduction (CFOR) scheme for the simulation of fluid flows. The Hermite kernel is constructed by using the discrete singular convolution (DSC) algorithm, which provides a systematic generation of low-pass filter and its conjugate high-pass filters. The high-pass filters are utilized for approximating spatial derivatives in solving flow equations, while the conjugate low-pass filter is activated to eliminate spurious oscillations accumulated during the time evolution of a flow. As both low-pass and high-pass filters are derived from the Hermite kernel, they have similar regularity, time-frequency localization, effective frequency band and compact support. Fourier analysis indicates that the CFOR-Hermite scheme yields a nearly optimal resolution and has a better approximation to the ideal low-pass filter than previously CFOR schemes. Thus, it has better potential for resolving natural high frequency oscillations from a shock. Extensive one- and two-dimensional numerical examples, including both incompressible and compressible flows, with or without shocks, are employed to explore the utility, test the resolution, and examine the stability of the present CFOR-Hermite scheme. Extremely small ratio of point-per-wavelength (PPW) is achieved in solving the Taylor problem, advancing a wavepacket and resolving a shock/entropy wave interaction. The present results for the advection of an isentropic vortex compare very favorably to those in the literature.

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.
