Finite Volume Method For Hyperbolic Conservation Laws On Manifolds

2017-03-01
The purpose of this book is to lay out a mathematical framework for the convergence and error analysis of the finite volume method for the discretization of hyperbolic conservation laws on manifolds. Finite Volume Method (FVM) is a discretization approach for the numerical simulation of a wide variety physical processes described by conservation law systems. It is extensively employed in fluid mechanics, meteorology, heat and mass transfer, electromagnetic, models of biological processes and many other engineering applications formed by conservative systems. In this book, from one point of view, we provide a brief description for the convergence of the FVM by approaches based on metric and differential forms. The latter can be viewed as a generalization of the formulation and convergence of the method for general conservation laws on curved manifolds. On the other hand, we carried over the error estimate for FVM that is established for the Euclidean setting to the curved manifolds and obtained an expected rate of error in the L1-norm.

Hyperbolic conservation laws on manifolds. An error estimate for finite volume schemes
Lefloch, Philippe G.; Okutmuştur, Baver; Neves, Wladimir (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-07-01)
Following Ben-Artzi and LeFloch, we consider nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on a Riemannian manifold, and we establish an L (1)-error estimate for a class of finite volume schemes allowing for the approximation of entropy solutions to the initial value problem. The error in the L (1) norm is of order h (1/4) at most, where h represents the maximal diameter of elements in the family of geodesic triangulations. The proof relies on a suitable generalization of Cockburn, Coquel, and LeFloch's theo...
Hyperbolic conservation laws on manifolds with limited regularity
Lefloch, Philippe G.; Okutmuştur, Baver (Elsevier BV, 2008-05-01)
We introduce a formulation of the initial and boundary value problem for nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on a differential manifold endowed with a volume form, possibly with a boundary; in particular, this includes the important case of Lorentzian manifolds. Only limited regularity is assumed on the geometry of the manifold. For this problem, we establish the existence and uniqueness of an L-1 semi-group of weak solutions satisfying suitable entropy and boundary conditions.
Finite element modeling of electromagnetic radiation
Özgün, Özlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a powerful numerical method to solve wave propagation problems for open-region electromagnetic radiation/scattering problems involving objects with arbitrary geometry and constitutive parameters. In high-frequency applications, the FEM requires an electrically large computational domain, implying a large number of unknowns, such that the numerical solution of the problem is not feasible even on state-of-the-art computers. An appealing way to solve a large FEM problem is to...
FINITE DIFFERENCE APPROXIMATIONS OF VARIOUS STEKLOV EIGENVALUE PROBLEMS
ÖZALP, MÜCAHİT; Bozkaya, Canan; Türk, Önder; Department of Mathematics (2022-8-26)
In this thesis, the finite difference method (FDM) is employed to numerically solve differently defined Steklov eigenvalue problems (EVPs) that are characterized by the existence of a spectral parameter on the whole or a part of the domain boundary. The FDM approximation of the Laplace EVP is also considered due to the fact that the defining differential operator in a Steklov EVP is the Laplace operator. The fundamentals of FDM are covered and their applications on some BVPs involving Laplace operator are d...
Almost periodicity, chaos, and asymptotic equivalence
Akhmet, Marat (Springer, 2019-06-01)
The central subject of this book is Almost Periodic Oscillations, the most common oscillations in applications and the most intricate for mathematical analysis. Prof. Akhmet's lucid and rigorous examination proves these oscillations are a "regular" component of chaotic attractors. The book focuses on almost periodic functions, first of all, as Stable (asymptotically) solutions of differential equations of different types, presumably discontinuous; and, secondly, as non-isolated oscillations in chaotic sets....
