On the convergence of a finite volume method for the Navier–Stokes–Fourier system
2020
Abstract The goal of the paper is to study the convergence of finite volume approximations of the Navier–Stokes–Fourier system describing the motion of compressible, viscous and heat-conducting fluids. The numerical flux uses upwinding with an additional numerical diffusion of order $\mathcal O(h^{ \varepsilon +1})$, $0<\varepsilon <1$. The approximate solutions are piecewise constant functions with respect to the underlying polygonal mesh. We show that the numerical solutions converge strongly to the classical solution as long as the latter exists. On the other hand, any uniformly bounded sequence of numerical solutions converges unconditionally to the classical solution of t…
Convergence of the finite volume method for a conductive-radiative heat transfer problem
2013
We show that the finite volume method rigorously converges to the solution of a conductive-radiative heat transfer problem with nonlocal and nonlinear boundary conditions. To get this result, we start by proving existence of solutions for a finite volume discretization of the original problem. Then, by obtaining uniform boundedness of discrete solutions and their discrete gradients with respect to mesh size, we finally get L 2type convergence of discrete solutions.
Real-Time Routing Selection in Flexible Manufacturing Systems
1993
Routing flexibility is one of the main peculiarities of Flexible Manufacturing Systems. This paper proposes three methods for real-time routing selection. The first one makes decisions comparing the current workload of machines in each alternative path. The second method considers the current workloads at the bottleneck machines in each allowed route. The third approach makes real-time decisions minimizing a merit index that represents a measure of the still required resource amount. The index is computed by short discrete-event simulation runs. Some case studies evaluate and compare the proposed approaches.
Floquet theory: exponential perturbative treatment
2001
We develop a Magnus expansion well suited for Floquet theory of linear ordinary differential equations with periodic coefficients. We build up a recursive scheme to obtain the terms in the new expansion and give an explicit sufficient condition for its convergence. The method and formulae are applied to an illustrative example from quantum mechanics.
A simple procedure to improve the pressure evaluation in hydrodynamic context using the SPH
2009
In literature, it is well know that the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method can be affected by numerical noise on the pressure field when dealing with liquids. This can be highly dangerous when an SPH code is dynamically coupled with a structural solver. In this work a simple procedure is proposed to improve the computation of the pressure distribution in the dynamics of liquids. Such a procedure is based on the use of a density diffusion term in the equation for the mass conservation. This diffusion is a pure numerical effect, similar to the well known artificial viscosity originally proposed in SPH method to smooth out the shock discontinuities. As the artificial viscosity, the density…
Phenotypic Evaluation of Spring Barley RIL Mapping Populations for Pre-harvest Sprouting, Fusarium Head Blight and β-Glucans
2012
The overall objective of the research is to develop molecular markers which can be used in spring barley breeding. The aim of this study was to summarise phenotyping data from recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations for mapping the QTLs for resistance to pre-harvest sprouting and Fusarium head blight (FHB) as well as content of β-glucans. The field and laboratory experiments were performed at the State Priekuli Plant Breeding Institute and at the State Stende Cereal Breeding Institute for two seasons (2010–2011). The mapping populations for pre-harvest sprouting consist of 93 (RILs produced from a cross between hulless barley (HB) breeding line ‘PR 3642’ (susceptible) and HB variety ‘CDC …
Convergence of Boobnov-Galerkin Method Exemplified
2004
In this Note, Boobnov–Galerkin’s method is proved to converge to an exact solution for an applied mechanics problem. We address in detail the interrelation of Boobnov–Galerkin method and the exact solution in the beam deflection problems. Namely, we show the coincidence of these two methods for clamped–clamped boundary conditions, using an alternative set of functions proposed by Filonenko-Borodich.12 Received 25 February 2003; accepted for publication 13 March 2004.

Gamma-convergence of Gaussian fractional perimeter
2021
Abstract We prove the Γ-convergence of the renormalised Gaussian fractional s-perimeter to the Gaussian perimeter as s → 1 - {s\to 1^{-}} . Our definition of fractional perimeter comes from that of the fractional powers of Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator given via Bochner subordination formula. As a typical feature of the Gaussian setting, the constant appearing in front of the Γ-limit does not depend on the dimension.
Derivation of Models for Thin Sprays from a Multiphase Boltzmann Model
2017
We shall review the validation of a class of models for thin sprays where a Vlasov type equation is coupled to an hydrodynamic equation of Navier–Stokes or Stokes type. We present a formal derivation of these models from a multiphase Boltzmann system for a binary mixture: under suitable assumptions on the collision kernels and in appropriate asymptotics (resp. for the two different limit models), we prove the convergence of solutions to the multiphase Boltzmann model to distributional solutions to the Vlasov–Navier–Stokes or Vlasov–Stokes system. The proofs are based on the procedure followed in Bardos et al. (J Stat Phys 63:323–344 (1991), [2]) and explicit evaluations of the coupling term…
Parameter identification for heterogeneous materials by optimal control approach with flux cost functionals
2021
The paper deals with the identification of material parameters characterizing components in heterogeneous geocomposites provided that the interfaces separating different materials are known. We use the optimal control approach with flux type cost functionals. Since solutions to the respective state problems are not regular, in general, the original cost functionals are expressed in terms of integrals over the computational domain using the Green formula. We prove the existence of solutions to the optimal control problem and establish convergence results for appropriately defined discretizations. The rest of the paper is devoted to computational aspects, in particular how to handle high sens…
