Numerical analysis of conservative and entropic schemes for the Fokker-Planck-Landau equation

چکیده
Conservatives and entropy schemes for the Fokker-Planck-Landau are investigated. We prove the existence of an unique, positive, entropic and global in time solution for the homogeneous linear and non linear discretized (either in the velocity space or both in the velocity and in time) Fokker Planck equation. The stability analysis of these schemes permits us to exhibit sufficient conditions on the time step that guarantees positivity and entropy decay of the scheme. Résumé Nous étudions des schémas entropiques et conservatifs pour l’équation de FokkerPlanck-Landau. Nous montrons l’existence d’une unique solution positive, entropique et globale en temps pour le problème homogène non linéaire discrétisé (soit dans l’espace des vitesses, soit à la fois, en vitesse et en temps). L’analyse de stabilité de ces schémas conduit à une condition suffisante sur le pas de temps pour garantir la positivité et la décroissance de l’entropie.

The completely conservative di erence schemes for the nonlinear Landau – Fokker – Planck equation
Conservativity and complete conservativity of nite di erence schemes are considered in connection with the nonlinear kinetic Landau–Fokker–Planck equation. The characteristic feature of this equation is the presence of several conservation laws. Finite di erence schemes, preserving density and energy are constructed for the equation in oneand two-dimensional velocity spaces. Some general method...
متن کاملConservative and entropy numerical scheme for the isotropic Fokker-Planck-Landau equation
Homogeneous Fokker-Planck-Landau equation is investigated for coulombian potential and isotropic distribution function i.e. when the distribution function depends only on time and on the modulus of the velocity. We derive a new conservative and entropy decaying semi-discretized Landau equation for which we prove the existence of global in time positive solutions. For the time-discretized equati...

متن کاملPseudo-spectral Matrix and Normalized Grunwald Approximation for Numerical Solution of Time Fractional Fokker-Planck Equation
This paper presents a new numerical method to solve time fractional Fokker-Planck equation. The space dimension is discretized to the Gauss-Lobatto points, then we apply pseudo-spectral successive integration matrix for this dimension. This approach shows that with less number of points, we can approximate the solution with more accuracy. The numerical results of the examples are displayed.

abstract We present fast numerical algorithms to solve the non linear Fokker-Planck-Landau equation in 3-D velocity space. The discretization of the collision operator preserves the properties required by the physical nature of the Fokker-Planck-Landau equation, such as the conservation of mass, momentum and energy, the decay of the entropy, and the fact that the steady states are Maxwellians. ...
