چکیده

The paper is devoted to the 2D hydrodynamical modeling and numerical approximation of an estuarian river flow. A new 2D horizontal model is derived and analyzed as a conforming approximation of the 3D time-discretized problem. It provides the three-dimensional velocity field as well as the pressure, which remains an unknown of the problem. Thanks to the framework of weak formulations, we avoid any closure problem usually encountered in the shallow water system and we can next employ finite elements for the approximation of the 2D model. The discrete problem is shown to be well-posed and finally, numerical tests are presented. The developed code is validated by means of comparisons with the classical shallow water model as well as with measured data.

Un nouveau modèle 2D horizontal est obtenu et analysé en écrivant une approximation conforme du problème de Navier-Stokes 3D instationnaire. Ce modèle 2D fournit une vitesse tridimensionnelle et le champ de pression est considérée comme une inconnue à part entière. Contrairement au moèle de Saint-Venant aucune équation de fermeture n’est ici nécessaire. La résolution numrique est effectuèe par éléments finis et nous montrons que le problème discret est bien posé. Pour finir, nous présentons des exemples numériques dans lesquel nous faisons des comparaisons avec le modèle classique de Saint-Venant et avec des mesures de terrain.

A numerical technique for solving a class of 2D variational problems using Legendre spectral method

An effective numerical method based on Legendre polynomials is proposed for the solution of a class of variational problems with suitable boundary conditions. The Ritz spectral method is used for finding the approximate solution of the problem. By utilizing the Ritz method, the given nonlinear variational problem reduces to the problem of solving a system of algebraic equations. The advantage o...
