Finite volumes and nonlinear di usion equations

چکیده
In this paper we prove the convergence of a nite volume scheme to the solution of a Stefan problem, namely the nonlinear diiusion equation ut ?'(u) = v, together with a homogeneous Neumann boundary condition and an initial condition. This is done by means of a priori estimates in L 1 and use of Kolmogorov's theorem on relative compactness of subsets of L 2 .

Finite Volume Methods for Reaction Di usion Problems
We derive and study cell centered nite volume approximations of reaction di usion equations For Voronoi and circumscribed volumes we obtain monotone schemes If the volumes satisfy regularity condition then the schemes are H positive de nite and rst order accurate For nite volumes satisfying an additional symmetry condition the schemes are second order accurate
متن کاملStability Analysis for a Saline Boundary Layer Formed by Uniform Up ow Using Finite Elements
Up owing salty groundwater, evaporating completely at the ground surface, leads to the buildup of a saline boundary layer, usually with solid salt on the surface. The di usion layer below the surface, if stable, may grow to a nite thickness at equilibrium between the up owing salt and downward di usion. Because of the di erent densities of the uids (low fresh water density in the deeper undergr...

متن کاملPreconditioning a mixed discontinuous finite element method for radiation diffusion
We propose a multilevel preconditioning strategy for the iterative solution of large sparse linear systems arising from a nite element discretization of the radiation di usion equations. In particular, these equations are solved using a mixed nite element scheme in order to make the discretization discontinuous, which is imposed by the application in which the di usion equation will be embedded...
متن کاملThe Single Dopant Diffusion in Arbitrary Space Dimension
In this paper we consider the pair di usion process in more than two spatial dimensions. In this case we are able to prove just a local existence result, since it is not possible to deduce global a priori estimates for the equations as it can be done in the two dimensional case. The model includes a nonlinear system of reaction{ drift{di usion equations, a nonlinear ordinary di erential equatio...
