Viscous Conservation Laws, Part I: Scalar Laws
نویسنده
چکیده
Viscous conservation laws are the basic models for the dissipative phenomena. We aim at a systematic presentation of the basic ideas for the quantitative study of the nonlinear waves for viscous conservation laws. The present paper concentrates on the scalar laws; an upcoming Part II will deal with the systems. The basic ideas for scalar viscous conservation laws originated from two sources: the theory for the hyperbolic conservation laws and the Burgers equation. We have initiated the Green’s function approach. These ideas are streamlined, simplified and synthesized here. We then apply them to some new problems and raise open problems. Quantitative understanding is necessary for further studies of the richer wave phenomena of the coupling of distinct wave types and the coupling of the boundary with the nonlinear waves. Viscous conservation laws may be viewed as the basic models for general dissipative systems.

A Subcell Resolution Method for Viscous Systems of Conservation Laws
We consider the generalization of scalar subcell resolution schemes to systems of viscous conservation laws. For this purpose we use a weakly nonlinear geometrical optics approximation for parabolic perturbations of hyperbolic conservation laws and the Roe-type field by field decomposition. Computations of the reactive Navier-Stokes equations are presented as an application.
متن کاملOn a Lyapunov Functional Relating Shortening Curves and Viscous Conservation Laws
We study a non linear functional which controls the area swept by a curve moving in the plane in the direction of curvature. In turn, this yields a priori estimates on solutions to a class of parabolic equations and of scalar viscous conservation laws. A further application provides an estimate on the “change of shape” of a BV solution to a scalar conservation law.
متن کاملViscous Shock Wave Tracing, Local Conservation Laws, and Pointwise Estimates by Tai-ping Liu and Shih-hsien Yu
We introduce a new approach to decompose a system of viscous conservation laws with respect to each characteristic wave structures. Under this new decomposition, the global wave interactions of the system are reduced to coupling of nonlinear waves around constant states outside shock region and a scalar conservation law in the shock region to determine the behavior of local internal shock layer...
متن کاملOptimal rate of convergence of a stochastic particle method to solutions of 1D viscous scalar conservation laws
This article presents the analysis of the rate of convergence of a stochastic particle method for 1D viscous scalar conservation laws. The convergence rate result is O(∆t+1/ √ N), where N is the number of numerical particles and ∆t is the time step of the first order Euler scheme applied to the dynamic of the interacting particles.
متن کاملA total variation diminishing high resolution scheme for nonlinear conservation laws
In this paper we propose a novel high resolution scheme for scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The aim of high resolution schemes is to provide at least second order accuracy in smooth regions and produce sharp solutions near the discontinuities. We prove that the proposed scheme that is derived by utilizing an appropriate flux limiter is nonlinear stable in the sense of total varia...
