We propose a new approach for the analysis of stationary correlation functions of 1D Burgers equation driven by a random force. We use this to study the asymptotic behavior of the probability distribution of velocity gradients and velocity increments. PACS number 47.27.Gs, 03.40.Gc Statistical properties of solutions of random forced Burgers equation have been a subject of intensive studies rec...

We present in this paper several results concerning a simple model of interaction between an inviscid fluid, modeled by the Burgers equation, and a particle, assumed to be point-wise. It is composed by a first-order partial differential equation which involves a singular source term and by an ordinary differential equation. Though this model can be considered simple, its mathematical analysis i...

We apply a multigrid reduction-in-time (MGRIT) algorithm to hyperbolic partial differential equations in one spatial dimension. This study is motivated by the observation that sequential time-stepping is a computational bottleneck when attempting to implement highly concurrent algorithms, thus parallel-in-time methods are desirable. MGRIT adds parallelism by using a hierarchy of successively co...

We study the scalar conservation law with a noisy non-linear source, viz., ut +f(u)x = h(u; x; t) + g(u)W (t), where W (t) is white noise in the time variable, and we analyse the Cauchy problem for this equation where the initial data are assumed to be deterministic. A method is proposed to construct approximate weak solutions, and we then show that this yields a convergent sequence. This seque...

It is shown that expansion waves for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations are nonlinearly stable. The expansion waves are constructed for the compressible Euler equations based on the inviscid Burgers equation. Our result shows that Navier-Stokes equations and Euler equations are timeasymptotically equivalent on the level of expansion waves. The result is proved using the energy method, mak...

Front propagation described by Huygens’ principle is a fundamental mechanism of spatial spreading of a property or an effect, occurring in optics, acoustics, ecology and combustion. If the local front speed varies randomly due to inhomogeneity or motion of the medium (as in turbulent premixed combustion), then the front wrinkles and its overall passage rate (turbulent burning velocity) increase...

We study the large time asymptotic shock front speed in an inviscid Burgers equation with a spatially random flux function. This equation is a prototype for a class of scalar conservation laws with spatial random coefficents such as the wellknown Buckley-Leverett equation for two-phase flows, and the contaminant transport equation in groundwater flows. The initial condition is a shock located a...
