Abstract. We develop a locally conservative Eulerian-Lagrangian finite volume scheme with the weighted essentially non-oscillatory property (EL-WENO) in one-space dimension. This method has the advantages of both WENO and Eulerian-Lagrangian schemes. It is formally high-order accurate in space (we present the fifth order version) and essentially non-oscillatory. Moreover, it is free of a CFL ti...

R esum e. La description classique du probl eme de l'optique g eom etrique est La-grangienne. Le passage a la repr esentation Eul erienne est possible mais, en pr esence de caustiques, ne permet pas de calculer la solution Lagrangienne compl ete. On pr esente le contexte math ematique du probl eme ainsi que quelques outils num eriques d evelop-p es pour lever cette limitation. Abstract. The cla...

The motion of a viscous incompressible fluid flow in bounded domains with a smooth boundary can be described by the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations. This description corresponds to the so-called Eulerian approach. We develop a new approximation method for the Navier-Stokes equations in both the stationary and the non-stationary case by a suitable coupling of the Eulerian and the Lagrangian re...

We analyze the statistics of turbulent velocity fluctuations in the time domain. Three cases are computed numerically and compared: (i) the time traces of Lagrangian fluid particles in a (3D) turbulent flow (referred to as the dynamic case); (ii) the time evolution of tracers advected by a frozen turbulent field (the static case); (iii) the evolution in time of the velocity recorded at a fixed ...

Standard error estimates for nite element approximations of nonstationary convection-diiusion problems depend reciprocally on the diffusion parameter ". Therefore, the estimates become worthless in the case of strong convection-dominance 0 < " 1. This work provides an "-uniform convergence theory for nite element discretizations of convection-dominated diiusion problems in Eulerian and Lagrangi...
