  6. AssignmentDue next week Learn the main themes and ideas of the research of each of the CAM faculty. Write a summary of this.

  7. Central Themes • Mathematical theory, physics modeling and high performance computing • Computer science tools to enable effective computing • Problem specific subject matter • Required knowledge goes well beyond what is possible to learn (over the course of your graduate studies), so as a student, you will learn the parts of these subjects that you need, for each specific problem/application. • Knowledge will be shared among graduate students, to accelerate the learning process

  8. First Unit: Equations of Fluid Dynamics • In some sense, this lecture is an overview of your main courses for the next two years • References: author = "A. Chorin and J. Marsden", title = "A Mathematical Introduction to Fluid Mechnics", publisher = "Springer Verlag", address = "New York--Heidelberg--Berlin", year = "2000", author = "L. D. Landau and E. M.

  9. Nonlinear Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

  10. Total Quantity U is conserved (assuming that U vanishes at infinity). Each component of U is conserved. Fundamental laws of classical physics are often of this form. For fluids, mass, momentum and energy are the conserved quantities.

  11. Simple case: Burgers’ Equationn = 1, D = 1

  12. Simpler case: f(u) = aulinear equation (a = const)

  13. Linear transport equation • Ut + aUx = 0 • Solution is constant on lines x = x0 + at. • These lines are called characteristic curves. • Each characteristic line meets initial line, t = 0 at a unique point . • Thus solution is defined for all space time: U(x,t) = U(x-at,0) • Initial discontinuities in U are preserved in time, moving with velocity a.

  14. Moving discontinuity for linear transport equation Space time plot of characteristic curves Moving discontinuity, plotted u vs. x, moving in time

  15. Simple Equation: Burgers’ Equation • Ut +(1/2) (U2)x = 0 • Ut + U Ux = 0 • U is a speed, the speed of propagation of information. • Characteristic curves: x = Ut +x0 • U = constant on characteristic curve, thus determined by value at t = 0. Characteristic curves are straight lines in 1D space, and time. Thus solution can be written in closed form by a formula. • U(x,t) = U0(x-U0t) • U0(x) = initial data • Increasing regions of U: characteristic curves spread out, solution becomes smoother. • Decreasing regions of U: characteristic curves converge, solution develops steep gradients, discontinuity, and solution becomes multivalued.

  16. Moving rarefaction wave for Burgers equation Space time plot of characteristic curves

  17. Burgers equation and shock waves • [q] = jump in q at discontinuity • s = speed of moving discontinuity • Burgers equation interpreted as a distribution (weak form of equation) at a discontinuity • s[u] = [(1/2) u2] • Solve for s and get formula for solution, with moving discontinuity (shock wave) • Extends solution after formation of discontinuity

  18. Weak Solution

  19. Compression wave breaking into a shock wave for Burgers equation Space time plot of characteristic curves. curves meet at the line of discontinuity (a shock wave)

  20. Compressible Fluid Dynamics Euler Equation (1D)

  21. Equation of State (EOS) • System does not close. P = pressure is an extra unknown; e = internal energy is defined in terms of E = total energy. • The equation of state takes any 2 thermodymanic variables and writes all others as a function of these 2. • Rho, P, e, s = entropy, Gibbs free energy, Helmholtz free energy are thermodynamic variables. For example we write P = P(rho,e) to define the equation of state. • A simple EOS is the gamma-law EOS. • Reference: • author = "R. Courant and K. Friedrichs", • title = "Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves", • publisher = "Springer-Verlag", • address = "New York", • year = "1967

  22. Entropy • Entropy = s(rho,e) is a thermodynamic variable. A fundamental principle of physics is the decrease of entropy with time. • Mathematicians and physicists use opposite signs here. Confusing!

  23. Analysis of Compressible Euler Equations

  24. Compressible Fluid Dynamics Euler Equation • Three kinds of waves (1D) • Nonlinear acoustic (sound) type waves: Left or right moving • Compressive (shocks); Expansive (rarefactions) • As in Burgers equation • Linear contact waves (temperature, and, for fluid concentrations, for multi-species problems) • As in linear transport equation

  25. Nonlinear Analysis of the Euler Equations • Simplest problem is the Riemann problem in 1D • Assume piecewise constant initial state, constant for x < 0 and x > 0 with a jump discontinuity at x = 0. • The solution will have exactly three kinds of waves (some may have zero strength): left and right moving “nonlinear acoustic” or “pressure” waves and a contact discontinuity (across which the temperature can be discontinuous) • Exercise: prove this statement for small amplitude waves (linear waves), starting from the eigenvectors and eigenvalues for the acoustic matrix A • Reference: Chorin Marsden
