STUDY OF A NEW ASYMPTOTIC PRESERVING SCHEME FOR THE EULER SYSTEM IN THE LOW MACH NUMBER LIMIT

International audienceThis article deals with the discretization of the compressible Euler system for all Mach numbers regimes. For highly subsonic flows, since acoustic waves are very fast compared to the velocity of the fluid, the gas can be considered as incompressible. From the numerical point of view, when the Mach number tends to zero, the classical Godunov type schemes present two main drawbacks: they lose consistency and they suffer of severe numerical constraints for stability to be guaranteed since the time step must follow the acoustic waves speed. In this work, we propose and analyze a new unconditionally stable an consistent scheme for all Mach number flows, from compressible to incompressible regimes, stability being only related to the flow speed. A stability analysis and several one and two dimensional simulations confirm that the proposed method possesses the sought characteristics. 1. Introduction. Almost all fluids can be said to be compressible. However, there are many situations in which the changes in density are so small to be considered negligible. We refer to these situations saying that the fluid is in an incompressible regime. From the mathematical point of view, the difference between compressible and incompressible situations is that, in the second case, the equation for the conservation of mass is replaced by the constraint that the divergence of the velocity should be zero. This is due to the fact that when the Mach number tends to zero, the pressure waves can be considered to travel at infinite speed. From the theoretical point of view, researchers try to fill the gap between those two different descriptions by determining in which sense compressible equations tend to incompressible ones [2, 20, 21, 22, 33]. In this article we are interested in the numerical solution of the Euler system when used to describe fluid flows where the Mach number strongly varies. This causes the gas to pass from compressible to almost incompressible situations and consequently it causes most of the numerical methods build for solving compressible Euler equations to fail. In fact, when the Mach number tends to zero, it is well known that classical Godunov type schemes do not work anymore. Indeed, they lose consistency in the incompressible limit. This means that when close to the limit, the accuracy of theses schemes is not sufficient to describe the flow. Many efforts have been done in the recent past in order to correct this main drawback of Godunov schemes, for instance by using preconditioning methods [34] or by splitting and correcting the pressure on the collocated meshes [5], [9, 10], [12], [13, 14, 30], [15], [23, 24], [26, 27, 28], or instead by using staggered grids like in the famous MAC scheme, see for instance [3], [16], [17], [18], [19], [31]. Unfortunately, even if these approaches permit to bypass the consistency problem of Godunov methods, they all need to resolve the scale of the acoustic waves in the fluid in order to remain stable. This means that they suffer from a restrictive CFL (Courant-Frierichs-Levy) condition which is inversely proportional to the Mach number value. In this work, we derive a method whic

Second order Implicit-Explicit Total Variation Diminishing schemes for the Euler system in the low Mach regime

International audienceIn this work, we consider the development of implicit explicit total variation diminishing (TVD) methods (also termed SSP: strong stability preserving) for the compressible isentropic Euler system in the low Mach number regime. The scheme proposed is asymptotically stable with a CFL condition independent from the Mach number and it degenerates in the low Mach number regime to a consistent discretization of the incompressible system. Since, it has been proved that implicit schemes of order higher than one cannot be TVD (SSP) [29], we construct a new paradigm of implicit time integrators by coupling first order in time schemes with second order ones in the same spirit as highly accurate shock capturing TVD methods in space. For this particular class of schemes, the TVD property is first proved on a linear model advection equation and then extended to the isentropic Euler case. The result is a method which interpolates from the first to the second order both in space and time, which preserves the monotonicity of the solution, highly accurate for all choices of the Mach number and with a time step only restricted by the non stiff part of the system. In the last part, we show thanks to one and two dimensional test cases that the method indeed possesses the claimed properties

La maladie de Crohn jéjuno-iléale (à propos de quatre cas cliniques et revue de la littérature)

A partir de quatre cas cliniques, nous avons étudié les particularités cliniques, thérapeutiques et l'évolution des formes jéjuno-iléales de la maladie de Crohn. Il s'agit de formes sévères de la maladie de Crohn, à prédominance masculine chez des sujets jeunes, avec souvent un retard diagnostique. Il existe des facteurs environnementaux connus comme le tabac ainsi qu'une susceptibilité génétique (IBD1 : gêne de susceptibilité sur le chromosome 16). La présentation clinique peut souvent être trompeuse et orienter vers d'autres pathologies. Les symptômes les plus fréquents sont les douleurs abdominales, les troubles du transit, la perte de poids ainsi que la dénutrition. L'endoscopie digestive, le transit du grêle et l'échographie sont souvent insuffisants et l'entéroscopie par voie haute et/ou la vidéo-capsule, voire la chirurgie exploratrice sont nécessaires. Le traitement nécessite souvent une corticothérapie d'emblée et la survenue fréquente d'une corticodépendance ou d'une corticorésistance, impose le recours aux immunosuppresseurs (azathioprine) voire aux anti-TNF.ST ETIENNE-BU Médecine (422182102) / SudocSudocFranceF
