Computing Solution Operators of Boundary-value Problems for Some Linear Hyperbolic Systems of PDEs
We discuss possibilities of application of Numerical Analysis methods to
proving computability, in the sense of the TTE approach, of solution operators
of boundary-value problems for systems of PDEs. We prove computability of the
solution operator for a symmetric hyperbolic system with computable real
coefficients and dissipative boundary conditions, and of the Cauchy problem for
the same system (we also prove computable dependence on the coefficients) in a
cube . Such systems describe a wide variety of physical
processes (e.g. elasticity, acoustics, Maxwell equations). Moreover, many
boundary-value problems for the wave equation also can be reduced to this case,
thus we partially answer a question raised in Weihrauch and Zhong (2002).
Compared with most of other existing methods of proving computability for PDEs,
this method does not require existence of explicit solution formulas and is
thus applicable to a broader class of (systems of) equations.Comment: 31 page
Block-diagonalisation of matrices and operators
In this short note we deal with a constructive scheme to decompose a
continuous family of matrices asymptotically as into
blocks corresponding to groups of eigenvalues of the limit matrix A(0). We also
discuss the extension of the scheme to matrix families depending upon
additional parameters and operators on Hilbert spaces.Comment: 8 page
A compressible solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for turbulent flow about an airfoil
A compressible time dependent solution of the Navier-Stokes equations including a transition turbulence model is obtained for the isolated airfoil flow field problem. The equations are solved by a consistently split linearized block implicit scheme. A nonorthogonal body-fitted coordinate system is used which has maximum resolution near the airfoil surface and in the region of the airfoil leading edge. The transition turbulence model is based upon the turbulence kinetic energy equation and predicts regions of laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow. Mean flow field and turbulence field results are presented for an NACA 0012 airfoil at zero and nonzero incidence angles of Reynolds number up to one million and low subsonic Mach numbers
