چکیده

In this note we consider a fourth order degenerate parabolic equation modeling the evolution of the interface of a spreading droplet. The equation is approximated trough a collisional kinetic equation. This permits to derive numerical approximations that preserves positivity of the solution and the main relevant physical properties. A Monte Carlo application is also shown. Formulation cinétique des écoulements de Hele-Shaw Résumé Dans cette Note, nous considérons une équation dégénérée du quatrieme ordre modélisant l’évolution de l’interface d’une goutte. L’équation est approchée par une équation collisionelle cinétique. Cela permet de construire des approximations numériques qui préservent la positivité de la solution et ses principales propriétés physiques. Un exemple “Monte-Carlo” est aussi présenté. Version francaise abrégée Dans cette Note, nous considérons l’équation de diffusion dégénérée du quatrieme ordre (1.1) qui modèlise la cellule de Hele-Shaw. Cette équation sera approchée par un modèle collisionnel de Boltzmann (2.13). La description cinétique présente certains avantages. Entre autres, la positivité de la solution ainsi que la conservation des principales quantités physiques peuvent être facilement établies. Il est alors possible de construire des schemas numeriques nouveaux même en utilisant des méthodes de “MonteCarlo”. Il est bien connu, en fait, que la construction de schemas numeriques pour (1.1) qui presérvent la positivité de la solution en temps ainsi que ses principales propriétés physiques est délicate, [8, 14]. Le processus-limite qui fait passer de l’équation cinétique a l’équation des films fins est analogue a ceux du type “quasi-elastique” pour les gaz granulaires [11] ou “collisions rasantes” pour la physique des plasmas [7, 13]. Des résultats sont présentés afin d’illustrer la validité de nôtre approche, cf. Théorèmes 3.1 and 3.2.

On the gradient flow of a one-homogeneous functional

We consider the gradient flow of a one-homogeneous functional, whose dual involves the derivative of a constrained scalar function. We show in this case that the gradient flow is related to a weak, generalized formulation of a Hele-Shaw flow. The equivalence follows from a variational representation, which is a variant of well-known variational representations for the Hele-Shaw problem. As a co...

A simple derivation of an upper bound in the presence of a viscosity gradient in three-layer Hele-Shaw flows

An upper bound on the growth rate of disturbances in three-layer Hele-Shaw flows with the middle layer having a smooth viscous profile is obtained using a weak formulation of the disturbance equations. A recently reported approach for the derivation of this bound is tedious, cumbersome, and requires numerical analysis. In contrast, the present approach is very simple, elegant, and requires no n...

Analysis of Transient Rivlin-Ericksen Fluid and Irreversibility of Exothermic Reactive Hydromagnetic Variable Viscosity

This study analyzes the unsteady Rivlin-Ericksen fluid and irreversibility of exponentially temperature dependent variable viscosity of hydromagnetic two-step exothermic chemical reactive flow along the channel axis with walls convective cooling. The non-Newtonian Hele-Shaw flow of Rivlin-Erickson fluid is driven by bimolecular chemical kinetic and unvarying pressure gradient. The reactive flui...

Hele-shaw flow simulation with interactive control using complex barycentric coordinates

Hele-Shaw flow describes the slow flow of a viscous liquid between two parallel plates separated by a small gap. In some configurations such a flow generates instabilities known as Saffman-Taylor fingers, which form intricate visual patterns. While these patterns have been an inspiration for artists, as well as thoroughly analyzed by mathematicians, efficiently simulating them remains challengi...

Kinetic roughening in two-phase fluid flow through a random Hele-Shaw cell.

A nonlocal interface equation is derived for two-phase fluid flow, with arbitrary wettability and viscosity contrast, c=(mu(1)-mu(2))/(mu(1)+mu(2)), in a model porous medium defined as a Hele-Shaw cell with random gap b(0)+delta b. Fluctuations of both capillary and viscous pressure are explicitly related to the microscopic quenched disorder, yielding conserved, nonconserved, and power-law corr...
