The present investigation is concerned with the role of bottom slope in the stability properties of two-dimensional disturbances in sheared two-layer immiscible fluids with stepwise densities. A linear analysis of normal mode instability of the interface in an inclined closed tube is carried out using full Navier-Stokes equation using Chebyshev-tau method. It has been observed that Reynolds num...

We study the exponential stabilization of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations around an unstable stationary solution, by means of a feedback boundary control, in dimension 2 or 3. The feedback law is determined by solving a Linear-Quadratic control problem. We do not assume that the normal component of the control is equal to zero. In that case the state equation, satisfied by the velocity f...

This paper presents asymptotically stable schemes for patching of nonoverlapping subdomains when approximating the compressible Navier–Stokes equations given on conservation form. The scheme is a natural extension of a previously proposed scheme for enforcing open boundary conditions and as a result the patching of subdomains is local in space. The scheme is studied in detail for Burgers’s equa...

There has been a surge of work on models for coupling surface-water with groundwater flows which is at its core the Stokes-Darcy problem, as well as methods for uncoupling the problem into subdomain, subphysics solves. The resulting (Stokes-Darcy) fluid velocity is important because the flow transports contaminants. The numerical analysis and algorithm development for the evolutionary transport...

We construct the weakly nonlinear-dissipative approximate system for the general compressible Navier-Stokes system in a periodic domain. It was shown in [11] that because the Navier-Stokes system has an entropy structure, its approximate system will have Leray-like global weak solutions. These solutions decompose into an incompressible part governed by an incompressible Navier-Stokes system, an...

As an introduction we present a new, elementary and constructive proof of the multisummability properties of formal solutions of linear ODE’s at irregular singular points. This serves to illustrate the geometric approach to multisummation. Basic properties of multisums and the associated sheaves are derived. Next, we study Cauchy-Heine transforms in relation to multisummation and the Stokes phe...

In this article, we propose to study two issues associated with the use of the incremental projection method for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. The first one is the combination of this time splitting algorithm with an adaptive local refinement method. The second one is the reduction of spurious velocities due to the right-hand side of the momentum balance. We propose a new v...

The subject of this paper is a first-order system least-squares formulation for the Stokes equation which remains uniformly valid in the limit of vanishing viscosity. For this so-called Darcy-Stokes flow problem we establish continuity and coercivity of the corresponding least-squares functional in appropriate norms. Two types of finite element spaces for the approximation of the velocity field...
