. Highly Anisotropic Temperature Balance Equation and Its Asymptotic-preserving Resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the numerical study of a nonlinear, strongly anisotropic heat equation. The use of standard schemes in this situation leads to poor results, due to the high anisotropy. An Asymptotic-Preserving method is introduced in this paper, which is second-order accurate in both, temporal and spacial variables. The discretization in time is done using an L-stable Runge-Kutta scheme. The convergence of the method is shown to be independent of the anisotropy parameter 0 < ε < 1, and this for fixed coarse Cartesian grids and for variable anisotropy directions. The context of this work are magnetically confined fusion plasmas.

An Asymptotic Preserving Scheme for Strongly Anisotropic Elliptic Problems
Abstract. In this article we introduce an asymptotic preserving scheme designed to compute the solution of a two dimensional elliptic equation presenting large anisotropies. We focus on an anisotropy aligned with one direction, the dominant part of the elliptic operator being supplemented with Neumann boundary conditions. A new scheme is introduced which allows an accurate resolution of this el...
متن کاملNumerical resolution of an anisotropic non-linear diffusion problem
This paper is devoted to the numerical resolution of an anisotropic non-linear diffusion problem involving a small parameter ǫ, defined as the anisotropy strength reciprocal. In this work, the anisotropy is carried by a variable vector function b. The equation being supplemented with Neumann boundary conditions, the limit ǫ→0 is demonstrated to be a singular perturbation of the original diffusi...
متن کاملAsymptotic-preserving scheme for highly anisotropic non-linear diffusion equations
Heat transfer in magnetically confined plasmas is a process characterized by non-linear and extremely high anisotropic diffusion phenomena. Standard numerical methods, successfully employed in the numerical treatment of classical diffusion problems, are generally inefficient, or even prone to break down, when such high anisotropies come into play, leading thus to the need of new numerical techn...
متن کاملA BGK-penalization asymptotic-preserving scheme for the multispecies Boltzmann equation
An asymptotic preserving scheme is efficient in solving multiscale problems where both kinetic and hydrodynamic regimes co-exist. In this paper we extend the BGK-penalization based asymptotic preserving scheme, originally introduced by Filbet and Jin for the single species Boltzmann equation, to its multispecies counterpart. For the multispecies Boltzmann equation the new difficulties emerge du...

The present paper is devoted to the determination of displacement, stresses and temperature from three dimensional anisotropic half spaces due to presence of heat source. The normal mode analysis technique has been used to the basic equations of motion and generalized heat conduction equation proposed by Green-Naghdi model-II [1]. The resulting equation are written in the form of a vector –matr...
