A well-designed numerical method for the shallow water equations (SWE) should ensure well-balancedness, nonnegativity of water heights, and entropy stability. For a continuous finite element discretization of a nonlinear hyperbolic system…

This note aims at demonstrating the advantage of moving-water well-balanced schemes over still-water well-balanced schemes for the shallow water equations. We concentrate on numerical examples with solutions near a moving-water equilibrium.…
In this work we present a mass conservative numerical scheme for two-phase flow in porous media. The model for flow consists on two fully coupled, non-linear equations: a degenerate parabolic equation and an elliptic equation. The proposed…
A second-order-accurate finite volume method, hybridized by blending an extended double-flux algorithm and a traditionally conservative scheme, is developed. In this scheme, hybrid convective fluxes as well as hybrid interpolation…
Continuum fluid dynamic models based on the Navier-Stokes equations have previously been used to simulate granular media undergoing fluid-like shearing. These models, however, typically fail to predict the flow behaviour in confined…
We consider a model for flow of liquid and gas in a pipe. We assume that the gas is ideal and that the liquid is incompressible. Under this assumption the resulting equations, expressing conservation of mass and momentum, splits into two…
We consider a variational scheme for the anisotropic (including crystalline) mean curvature flow of sets with strictly positive anisotropic mean curvature. We show that such condition is preserved by the scheme, and we prove the strict…
