We construct a local Lax-Friedrichs type positivity-preserving flux for compressible Navier-Stokes equations, which can be easily extended to multiple dimensions for generic forms of equations of state, shear stress tensor and heat flux. With this positivity-preserving flux, any finite volume type schemes including discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes with strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta time discretizations satisfy a weak positivity property. With a simple and efficient positivity-preserving limiter, high order explicit Runge-Kutta DG schemes are rendered preserving the positivity of density and internal energy without losing local conservation or high order accuracy. Numerical tests suggest that the positivity-preserving flux and the positivity-preserving limiter do not induce excessive artificial viscosity, and the high order positivity-preserving DG schemes without other limiters can produce satisfying non-oscillatory solutions when the nonlinear diffusion in compressible Navier-Stokes equations is accurately resolved.

Positivity-preserving high order finite difference WENO schemes for compressible Navier-Stokes equations

Chuan Fan, Xiangxiong Zhang, Jianxian Qiu

Summary: In this paper, a high order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) finite difference discretization method is constructed for solving the compressible Navier-Stokes (NS) equations. The method achieves positivity preservation of density and internal energy through a positivity-preserving flux splitting and a scaling positivity-preserving limiter. The core advantages of the proposed method are robustness and efficiency, making it particularly suitable for solving challenging problems involving low density and low pressure flow regime.

A High Order Accurate Bound-Preserving Compact Finite Difference Scheme for Two-Dimensional Incompressible Flow

Hao Li, Xiangxiong Zhang

Summary: In this paper, we solve the two-dimensional incompressible flow in the vorticity form using the fourth-order compact finite difference scheme and explicit strong stability preserving temporal discretizations. We demonstrate that the bound-preserving limiter proposed by Li et al. (2018) can enforce strict bounds on the vorticity, given that the velocity field satisfies a discrete divergence-free constraint. To reduce oscillations, we introduce a modified TVB limiter based on Cockburn and Shu (1994) that does not affect the bound-preserving property. This bound-preserving finite difference method can be applied to any passive convection equation with a divergence-free velocity field.

Convergence analysis and optimization of a Robin Schwarz waveform relaxation method for time-periodic parabolic optimal control problems

Gabriele Ciaramella, Laurence Halpern, Luca Mechelli

Summary: This paper presents a novel convergence analysis of the optimized Schwarz waveform relaxation method for solving optimal control problems governed by periodic parabolic PDEs. The analysis is based on a Fourier-type technique applied to a semidiscrete-in-time form of the optimality condition, which enables a precise characterization of the convergence factor at the semidiscrete level. The behavior of the optimal transmission condition parameter is also analyzed in detail as the time discretization approaches zero.
