  • on the reynolds number expansion for the navier stokes equations
    Nonlinear Analysis-theory Methods & Applications, 2014
    Co-Authors: Carlo Morosi, Livio Pizzocchero
    Abstract:

    Abstract In a previous paper of ours (Morosi and Pizzocchero (2012) [1] ) we have considered the incompressible Navier–Stokes (NS) equations on a d -dimensional torus T d , in the functional setting of the Sobolev spaces H Σ 0 n ( T d ) of divergence free, zero mean vector fields ( n > d / 2 + 1 ). In the cited work we have presented a general setting for the a posteriori analysis of approximate solutions of the NS Cauchy problem; given any approximate solution u a , this allows to infer a lower bound T c on the time of existence of the exact solution u and to construct a function R n such that ‖ u ( t ) − u a ( t ) ‖ n ⩽ R n ( t ) for all t ∈ [ 0 , T c ) . In certain cases it is T c = + ∞ , so global existence is granted for u . In the present paper the framework of Morosi and Pizzocchero (2012) [1] is applied using as an approximate solution an expansion u N ( t ) = ∑ j = 0 N R j u j ( t ) , where R is the Reynolds number. This allows, amongst else, to derive the global existence of u when R is below some critical value R ∗ (increasing with N in the examples that we analyze). After a general discussion about the Reynolds expansion and its a posteriori analysis, we consider the expansions of orders N = 1 , 2 , 5 in dimension d = 3 , with the Initial Datum of Behr, Necas and Wu (2001) [11] . Computations of order N = 5 yield a quantitative improvement of the results previously obtained for this Initial Datum in Morosi and Pizzocchero (2012) [1] , where a Galerkin approximate solution was employed in place of the Reynolds expansion.

  • on power series solutions for the euler equation and the behr necas wu Initial Datum
    Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis, 2013
    Co-Authors: Carlo Morosi, Mario Pernici, Livio Pizzocchero
    Abstract:

    We consider the Euler equation for an incompressible fluid on a three dimensional torus, and the construction of its solution as a power series in time. We point out some general facts on this subject, from convergence issues for the power series to the role of symmetries of the Initial Datum. We then turn the attention to a paper by Behr, Necas and Wu, ESAIM: M2AN 35 (2001) 229–238; here, the authors chose a very simple Fourier polynomial as an Initial Datum for the Euler equation and analyzed the power series in time for the solution, determining the first 35 terms by computer algebra. Their calculations suggested for the series a finite convergence radius τ 3 in the H 3 Sobolev space, with 0.32  3 35 (2001) 229–238, using again computer algebra; the order has been increased from 35 to 52, using the symmetries of the Initial Datum to speed up computations. As for τ 3 , our results agree with the original computations of E. Behr, J. Necas and H. Wu, ESAIM: M2AN 35 (2001) 229–238 (yielding in fact to conjecture that 0.32  3 3 is not at all an indication of a possible blow-up. (b) There is a strong indication that the solution of the Euler equation does not blow up at a time close to τ 3 . In fact, the solution is likely to exist, at least, up to a time θ 3  > 0.47. (c) There is a weak indication, based on Pade analysis, that the solution might blow up at a later time.

  • on the relationship between the one corner problem and the m corner problem for the vortex filament equation
    arXiv: Numerical Analysis, 2017
    Co-Authors: Francisco De La Hoz, Luis Vega
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we give evidence that the evolution of the Vortex Filament Equation for a regular $M$-corner polygon as Initial Datum can be explained at infinitesimal times as the superposition of $M$ one-corner Initial data. Therefore, and due to periodicity, the evolution at later times can be understood as the nonlinear interaction of infinitely many filaments, one for each corner. This interaction turns out to be some kind of nonlinear Talbot effect. We also give very strong numerical evidence of the transfer of energy and linear momentum for the $M$-corner case.

  • The Vortex Filament Equation as a Pseudorandom Generator
    Acta Applicandae Mathematicae, 2015
    Co-Authors: Francisco De la hoz, Luis Vega
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we consider the evolution of the so-called vortex filament equation (VFE), $$\mathbf{X}_t = \mathbf{X}_s\wedge\mathbf{X}_{ss}, $$ taking a planar regular polygon of M sides as Initial Datum. We study VFE from a completely novel point of view: that of an evolution equation which yields a very good generator of pseudorandom numbers in a completely natural way. This essential randomness of VFE is in agreement with the randomness of the physical phenomena upon which it is based.

  • stability convergence to self similarity and elastic limit for the boltzmann equation for inelastic hard spheres
    arXiv: Analysis of PDEs, 2007
    Co-Authors: Stephane Mischler, Clement Mouhot
    Abstract:

    We consider the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for {\em inelastic hard spheres}, in the framework of so-called {\em constant normal restitution coefficients} $\alpha \in [0,1]$. In the physical regime of a small inelasticity (that is $\alpha \in [\alpha_*,1)$ for some constructive $\alpha_*>0$) we prove uniqueness of the self-similar profile for given values of the restitution coefficient $\alpha \in [\alpha_*,1)$, the mass and the momentum; therefore we deduce the uniqueness of the self-similar solution (up to a time translation). Moreover, if the Initial Datum lies in $L^1_3$, and under some smallness condition on $(1-\alpha_*)$ depending on the mass, energy and $L^1_3$ norm of this Initial Datum, we prove time asymptotic convergence (with polynomial rate) of the solution towards the self-similar solution (the so-called {\em homogeneous cooling state}). These uniqueness, stability and convergence results are expressed in the self-similar variables and then translate into corresponding results for the original Boltzmann equation. The proofs are based on the identification of a suitable elastic limit rescaling, and the construction of a smooth path of self-similar profiles connecting to a particular Maxwellian equilibrium in the elastic limit, together with tools from perturbative theory of linear operators. Some universal quantities, such as the "quasi-elastic self-similar temperature" and the rate of convergence towards self-similarity at first order in terms of $(1-\alpha)$, are obtained from our study. These results provide a positive answer and a mathematical proof of the Ernst-Brito conjecture [16] in the case of inelastic hard spheres with small inelasticity.

  • regularity theory for the spatially homogeneous boltzmann equation with cut off
    arXiv: Analysis of PDEs, 2006
    Co-Authors: Clement Mouhot, Cedric Villani
    Abstract:

    We develop the regularity theory of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with cut-off and hard potentials (for instance, hard spheres), by (i) revisiting the Lp-theory to obtain constructive bounds, (ii) establishing propagation of smoothness and singularities, (iii) obtaining estimates about the decay of the sin- gularities of the Initial Datum. Our proofs are based on a detailed study of the "regularity of the gain operator". An application to the long-time behavior is presented.

  • cooling process for inelastic boltzmann equations for hard spheres part i the cauchy problem
    Journal of Statistical Physics, 2006
    Co-Authors: Stephane Mischler, Clement Mouhot, Rodriguez M Ricard
    Abstract:

    We develop the Cauchy theory of the spatially homogeneous inelastic Boltzmann equation for hard spheres, for a general form of collision rate which includes in particular variable restitution coefficients depending on the kinetic energy and the relative velocity as well as the sticky particles model. We prove (local in time) non-concentration estimates in Orlicz spaces, from which we deduce weak stability and existence theorem. Strong stability together with uniqueness and instantaneous appearance of exponential moments are proved under additional smoothness assumption on the Initial Datum, for a restricted class of collision rates. Concerning the long-time behaviour, we give conditions for the cooling process to occur or not in finite time.
