We model dynamics of two almost immiscible fluids of different densities using the Stokes equations with the Dirac distribution representing the sink or source point. The equations are solved by regularizing the Dirac distribution and then using an iterative procedure based on the finite element method. Results have potential applications in water pollution problems and we present two relevant situations. In the first one, we simulate extraction of a light liquid trapped at the bottom of a pond/lake and, after being disturbed, it rises toward the surface. In the second case, we simulate heavy liquid leaking from a source and slowly dropping on an uneven bottom.
We extend Brenier's transport collapse scheme on the Cauchy problem for heterogeneous scalar conservation laws and initial-boundary value problem for homogeneous scalar conservation laws. It is based on averaging out the solution to the corresponding kinetic equation, and it necessarily converges toward the entropy admissible solution. In the case of initial-boundary value problems, such a procedure is used to construct a numerical scheme which leads to a new solution concept for the initial-boundary value problems for scalar conservation laws. We also provide numerical examples.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 35L65, 65M25.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
