چکیده

We prove global existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions to a nonlinear system of parabolic equations, which arises to describe the evolution of the chemical aggression due to the action of sulphur dioxide on calcium carbonate stones. This system is not uniformly parabolic and only some energy estimates are available. Nevertheless, global (in time) results are proven using a weak continuation principle for the local solutions.

Mathematics and Monuments Conservation: Free Boundary Models of Marble Sulphation

A. We introduce some free boundary problems which describe the evolution of calcium carbonate stones under the attack of atmospheric SO2, taking into account both swelling of the external gypsum layer and the influence of humidity. Different behaviors are described according to the relative humidity of the environment, and in all cases reliable explicit quasi steady approximations are in...

A Mathematical Model for the Sulphur Dioxide Aggression to Calcium Carbonate Stones: Numerical Approximation and Asymptotic Analysis

We introduce a degenerate nonlinear parabolic system that describes the chemical aggression of calcium carbonate stones under the attack of sulphur dioxide. For this system, we present some finite element and finite difference schemes to approximate its solutions. Numerical stability is given under suitable CFL conditions. Finally, by means of a formal scaling, the qualitative behavior of the s...

Unconditionally Stable Difference Scheme for the Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Rosenau-KdV Equation

In this paper we investigate a nonlinear evolution model described by the Rosenau-KdV equation. We propose a three-level average implicit finite difference scheme for its numerical solutions and prove that this scheme is stable and convergent in the order of O(τ2 + h2). Furthermore we show the existence and uniqueness of numerical solutions. Comparing the numerical results with other methods in...

Multiple solutions of a nonlinear reactive transport model using least square pseudo-spectral collocation method

The recognition and the calculation of all branches of solutions of the nonlinear boundary value problems is difficult obviously. The complexity of this issue goes back to the being nonlinearity of the problem. Regarding this matter, this paper considers steady state reactive transport model which does not have exact closed-form solution and discovers existence of dual or triple solutions in so...

Mathematical modelling of a mushy region formation during sulphation of calcium carbonate

The subject of the present paper is the derivation and asymptotic analysis of a mathematical model for the formation of a mushy region during sulphation of calcium carbonate. The model is derived by averaging, with the use of the multiple scales method, applied on microscopic moving boundary problems. The latter problems describe the transformation of calcium carbonate into gypsum on the micros...
