Models of topographic support on Europa by lateral shell thickness variations have previously assumed a Newtonian ice viscosity. Here I show that using a more realistic stress-dependent viscosity gives relaxation times which can be significantly different. Topography of wavelength 100 km cannot be supported by lateral shell thickness variations for ∼ 50 Myr, unless the shell thickness is < 10 k...

[Received on ] Thixotropic yield stress fluids have a yield stress and viscosity which change slowly over time as the fluid undergoes structural changes. This article reviews recent work which shows how such behavior can arise as a limit of viscoelastic flow when a relaxation time becomes large. The large relaxation time introduces a small parameter which can be used as a basis for singular per...

The approximation of the time-dependent Oseen problem using inf-sup stable mixed finite elements in a Galerkin method with grad-div stabilization is studied. The main goal is to prove that adding a grad-div stabilization term to the Galerkin approximation has a stabilizing effect for small viscosity. Both the continuous-in-time and the fully discrete case (backward Euler method, the two-step BD...

Viscosity approximation methods for nonexpansive nonself-mappings are studied. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of Hilbert space H , P a metric projection of H onto C and let T be a nonexpansive nonself-mapping from C into H . For a contraction f on C and {tn} ⊆ (0,1), let xn be the unique fixed point of the contraction x → tn f (x) + (1− tn)(1/n) ∑n j=1(PT) x. Consider also the iterati...

We provide a precise description of the set of residual boundary conditions generated by the self-similar viscous approximation introduced by Dafermos et al. We then apply our results, valid for both conservative and non conservative systems, to the analysis of the boundary Riemann problem and we show that, under appropriate assumptions, the limits of the self-similar and the classical vanishin...

We develop a Discrete Duality Finite Volume (DDFV) method for the three-dimensional steady Stokes problem with a variable viscosity coefficient on polyhedral meshes. Under very general assumptions on the mesh, which may admit non-convex and non-conforming polyhedrons, we prove the stability and well-posedness of the scheme. We also prove the convergence of the numerical approximation to the vel...

This note is devoted to a characterization of the vanishing viscosity limit for multi-dimensional conservation laws of the form ut + div f(x, u) = 0, u|t=0 = u0 in the domain R × R . The flux f = f(x, u) is assumed locally Lipschitz continuous in the unknown u and piecewise constant in the space variable x; the discontinuities of f(·, u) are contained in the union of a locally finite number of ...

Let K be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real reflexive Banach space X that has weakly sequentially continuous duality mapping Jφ for some gauge φ. Let Ti : K → K be a family of multivalued nonexpansive mappings with F := ∩∞i=0 F(Ti) ≠ ∅ which is a sunny nonexpansive retract of K with Q a nonexpansive retraction. It is our purpose in this paper to prove the convergence of two viscosity app...

An eddy viscosity model can be used as a computationally tractable alternative to that of the Navier-Stokes equations. Model errors immediately become a concern when considering such an approach, and quantifying this error is essential to understanding and using model predictions within an engineering design process. In this paper, sensitivity analysis is presented for a subgrid eddy viscosity ...
