Fractional spectral vanishing viscosity method: Application to the quasi-geostrophic equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce the concept of fractional spectral vanishing viscosity (fSVV) to solve conservations laws that govern the evolution of steep fronts. We apply this method to the two-dimensional surface quasigeostrophic (SQG) equation. The classical solutions of the inviscid SQG equation can develop finite-time singularities. By applying the fSVV method, we are able to simulate these solutions with high accuracy and long-time integration with relatively low resolution. Numerical diffusion in fSVV can be tuned by the fractional order as needed. Hence, fSVV can also be applied to integer-order conservation laws that exhibit steep solutions and evolving fronts. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We consider the viscous Burgers equation with a fractional nonlinear term as a model involving non-local nonlinearities in conservation laws, which, surprisingly, has an analytical solution obtained by a fractional extension of the Hopf-Cole transformation. We use this model and its inviscid limit to develop stable spectral and discontinuous Galerkin spectral element methods by employing the co...

Abstract. We introduce and analyze a spectral vanishing viscosity approximation of periodic fractional conservation laws. The fractional part of these equations can be a fractional Laplacian or other non-local operators that are generators of pure jump Lévy processes. To accommodate for shock solutions, we first extend to the periodic setting the Kružkov-Alibaud entropy formulation and prove we...

متن کاملDrift diffusion equations with fractional diffusion and the quasi-geostrophic equation
Motivated by the critical dissipative quasi-geostrophic equation, we prove that drift-diffusion equations with L initial data and minimal assumptions on the drift are locally Holder continuous. As an application we show that solutions of the quasigeostrophic equation with initial L data and critical diffusion (−∆), are locally smooth for any space dimension.
