Analysis and simulation of a coupled hyperbolic/parabolic model problem

From MaRDI portal





The authors investigate a degenerate, linear, periodic advection-diffusion equation in one dimension. The problem is hyperbolic in a subinterval and parabolic in the complement with boundary conditions that impose periodicity of the advective-diffusive flux to ensure mass conservation. To select the `physically acceptable' solution as the limit of vanishing viscosity solutions, continuity of the solution at the parabolic to hyperbolic interface is imposed. Using this condition, they establish the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem in the framework of the evolution linear semigroup theory. Then the authors present reference solutions obtained using this additional interface condition. These solutions can be used to test the robustness of numerical schemes. Finally, they discuss the numerical results of an upwind scheme, a finite volume box-scheme, and a local discontinuous Galerkin method.
