چکیده
We study, in axisymmetnc geometry, a discretization of the Fokker-Planck operator that preserves the physical properties which are decrease of the kinetic entropy and conservation of mass, momentum and energy and only those quantifies For this purpose, we exhibit how the above properties are conséquences, first, of the algebraic structure of the Landau form of the Fokker-Planck operator and, secondly, of an intégration step Then we show that, even in our particular geometry, it is easy to make discretizatwns preserving the algebraic structure Concerning the second point we provide an analysis inducing necessary and sufficient conditions on the discrete dérivation operators Consequently, a discrete Fokker-Planck operator decreasing the kinetic entropy and conserving mass, momentum and energy is easy to buüd Yet, a discrete Fokker-Planck operator conserving only those quantifies is not so easy to get and in particular it cannot involve vertex-independent finite différence operators We then bmld an actual implemented operator which we vahdate on physically reahstic examples of plasma collisions © Elsevier, Paris Mathematical Subject Classification 65M06, 82C40, 82C80, 82D10 Résumé —Nous étudions en géométrie axisymétrique, une discrétisation de Vopérateur de Fokker-Planck respectant les propriétés physiques importantes que sont la décroissance de l'entropie cinétique et la conservation de la masse, de l'impulsion, de l'énergie et exclusivement ces trois quantités Pour ce faire, nous montrons que ces propriétés sont la conséquence de la structure algébrique de l'opérateur de Fokker-Planck écrit sous la forme de Landau d'une part, et d'autre part d'une relation intégrale Puis nous montrons que même en géométrie axisymétnque, il est simple de réaliser des discrétisations préservant la structure algébrique Concernant le second point, nous déduisons une condition nécessaire et suffisante sur les opérateurs de dérivation discrets pour préserver la relation intégrale En conséquence, il est simple de construire des opérateurs de Fokker-Planck discrets réalisant la décroissance de l'entropie cinétique et la conservation de la masse, de l'impulsion et de l'énergie En revanche, l'obtention d'un opérateur conservant exclusivement ces quantités et plus délicate En particulier, il ne peut se construire à l'aide d'opérateurs de dérivation discrets uniformément définis sur le maillage Enfin, nous construisons l'opérateur effectivement implémenté dans notre code que nous validons sur des exemples physiquement réalistes de collisions de plasmas © Elsevier, Pans

Numerical Algorithms for Axisymmetric Fokker-planck-landau Operators
We establish a simpliied form of the axisymmetric Fokker-Planck-Landau operator. In doing so, we derive a weak formulation of this operator on which we get directly the conservation properties and the decay of the entropy as it is the case for the three dimensional operator 6]. A symmetrized version of this formulation leads to a class of numerical schemes which satisfy these physical propertie...

We considered the motion of DNA molecules through a hexagonal array under uniform electric fields as a Fokker-Planck process which is affected by the entropic barriers and we have simulated this motion by computer. We solved the Fokker-Planck equation with numerical simulation of the Brownian dynamics by the Euler method. For different DNA molecules, under different physical conditions, the mea...

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 ...

متن کاملClasses of N-Dimensional Nonlinear Fokker-Planck Equations Associated to Tsallis Entropy
Several previous results valid for one-dimensional nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations are generalized to N-dimensions. A general nonlinear N-dimensional FokkerPlanck equation is derived directly from a master equation, by considering nonlinearities in the transition rates. Using nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations, the H-theorem is proved; for that, an important relation involving these equations ...
