  Journal of Computational Acoustics, World Scientific Publishing, 2005, 13 (4), pp.689-709. We study the diffraction in time harmonic regime of an acoustic wave by a rigid plate in the presence of a uniform flow in a duct. Contrary to prior analytical studies, using Wiener-Hopf techniques and thus restricted to semi-infinite plates, we use a, finite elements method which allows us to deal with plates of finite length. To take into account irrotational perturbations induced by the trailing edge of the plate, a potential formulation requires the introduction of a vortex sheet behind the plate. The key point of the method is to get access at the singular coefficient of the velocity potential near the trailing edge, in order to cancel it using the so-called Kutta-Joukowski condition. This approach leads to an efficient finite elements method, and numerical computations are presented: we show the amplitude of the vortex sheet versus the Mach number and the plate length and the dissipated acoustic power versus the Mach number and the frequency. This method is extended to the case of two aligned plates to analyze the influence of the choice of the boundary condition on the downstream plate which interacts with a vortex sheet. © IMACS.

• A dual-primal coupling technique with local time step for wave propagation problems

  , 2005. We are interested in space-time refinement methods for linear wave propagation. In 1,2 , some stable numerical schemes using non-conforming grids in space and time have been proposed. These methods use a Lagrange multiplier to cope with the interface conditions. The choice of the discretization space of this additional unknown can be in some cases not trivial. In the present paper we propose an alternative method. The main new idea is to use different variational formulations in the fine and in the coarse grids. We present a time discretization that leads to the conservation of a discrete energy and provide a complete stability and error analysis in the case where the time step is twice smaller in one domain than in the other one.

  , 2005. The ever-rising diffusion of cellular phones has brought about an increased concern for the possible consequences of electromagnetic radiation on human health. Possible thermal effects have been investigated, via experimentation or simulation, by several research projects in the last decade. Concerning numerical modeling, the power absorption in a user's head is generally computed using discretized models built from clinical MRI data. The vast majority of such numerical studies have been conducted using Finite Differences Time Domain methods, although strong limitations of their accuracy are due to heterogeneity, poor definition of the detailed structures of head tissues (staircasing effects), etc. In order to propose numerical modeling using Finite Element or Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain methods, reliable automated tools for the unstructured discretization of human heads are also needed. Results presented in this article aim at filling the gap between human head MRI images and the accurate numerical modeling of wave propagation in biological tissues and its thermal effects.

• An efficient numerical method for the resolution of the Kirchhoff-Love dynamic plate equation
  
  • Bécache Eliane

  • Joly Patrick
  Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations, Wiley, 2005, 21 (2), pp.323 - 348. We solve numerically the Kirchhoff-Love dynamic plate equation for an anisotropic heterogeneous material using a spectral method. A mixed velocity-moment formulation is proposed for the space approximation allowing the use of classical Lagrange finite elements. The benefit of using high order elements is shown through a numerical dispersion analysis. The system resulting from this spatial discretization is solved analytically. Hence this method is particularly efficient for long duration experiments. This time evolution method is compared with explicit and implicit finite differences schemes in terms of accuracy and computation time. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

• Sequences of L-infinity optimal control problems, Gamma-convergence and Hamilton-Jacobi equations,
  
  • Briani Ariela
  Asymptotic Analysis, IOS Press, 2005, 45 (3-4), pp.171-190. We consider the sequence of optimal control problems having as state equation y′(t)=an(t,y)+bn(t,u) (t∈(0,T], y(0)=x) and cost functional Jn(y,u)=esssup\nolimitst Î [0,T]fn(t,y(t),u(t)). We prove a Γ-convergence result and we study the entailed properties on the stability for the related Hamilton-Jacobi equations.

  , 2005, pp.6. In this paper we are interested in the mathematical and numerical analysis of the time-dependent Galbrun equa- tion in a rigid duct. This equation models the acoustic propagation in presence of flow [1]. We propose a regu- larized variational formulation of the problem, in the sub- sonic case, suitable for an approximation by Lagrange finite elements, and corresponding absorbing boundary conditions.

  SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2005, 26 (3), pp.864-884. In this paper, we present a mixed formulation of a spectral element approximation of the linear elasticity system. After studying the main features of this approach, we construct perfectly matched layers (PMLs) for modeling unbounded domains. Then, algorithmic issues are discussed and numerical results are given.

• Monge Solutions for discontinuous Hamiltonians
  
  • Briani Ariela
  • Davini Andrea
  ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, EDP Sciences, 2005, 11 (2), pp.229-251. We consider an Hamilton-Jacobi equation of the form H ( x , D u ) = 0 x ∈ Ω ⊂ ℝ N , ( 1 ) where H(x,p) is assumed Borel measurable and quasi-convex in p. The notion of Monge solution, introduced by Newcomb and Su, is adapted to this setting making use of suitable metric devices. We establish the comparison principle for Monge sub and supersolution, existence and uniqueness for equation ([see full text]) coupled with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and a stability result. The relation among Monge and Lipschitz subsolutions is also discussed. (10.1051/cocv:2005004)

• Robust high order non-conforming finite element formulation for time domain fluid-structure interaction
  
  • Diaz Julien
  • Joly Patrick
  Journal of Computational Acoustics, World Scientific Publishing, 2005, 13 (3), pp.403-431. In this paper we present various numerical methods for solving time-dependent fluid-structure interaction problem in two or three dimensions that we claim to be efficient, robust and highly accurate. These methods, based on mixed variational formulations, are explicit and conservative and can be of arbitrary high order in space. Their accuracy will be illustrated via a comparison with analytical solutions in simple configuration. (10.1142/S0218396X05002736)

• AN ANALYSIS OF HIGHER ORDER BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR THE WAVE EQUATION
  
  • Diaz Julien
  • Joly Patrick
  SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2005, 65 (5), pp.1547-1575. Thanks to the use of the Cagniard–De Hoop method, we derive an analytic solution in the time domain for the half-space problem associated with the wave equation with Engquist– Majda higher order boundary conditions. This permits us to derive new convergence results when the order of the boundary condition tends to infinity, as well as error estimates. The theory is illustrated by numerical results.

• An Error Analysis of Conservative Space-Time Mesh Refinement Methods for the 1D Wave Equation
  
  • Joly Patrick
  • Rodríguez Jerónimo
  SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2005, 43, pp.825-859. We study two space-time mesh refinement methods as the one introduced in [F. Collino, T. Fouquet, and P. Joly, Numer. Math., 95 (2003), pp. 197-221].The stability of such methods is guaranteed by construction through the conservation of a discrete energy. In this paper, we show the L 2 convergence of these schemes and provide optimal error estimates. The proof is based on energy techniques and bootstrap arguments. Our results are validated with numerical simulations and compared with results from plane wave analysis [F. Collino, T. Fouquet, and P. Joly, Numer. Math., 95 (2003), pp. 223-251].

• High Spatial Order Finite Element Method to Solve Maxwell's Equations in Time Domain
  
  • Pernet Sébastien
  • Ferrieres Xavier
  • Cohen Gary
  IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2005, 53 (9), pp.2889 - 2899. This paper presents a finite element method with high spatial order for solving the Maxwell equations in the time domain. In the first part, we provide the mathematical background of the method. Then, we discuss the advantages of the new scheme compared to a classical finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Several examples show the advantages of using the new method for different kinds of problems. Comparisons in terms of accuracy and CPU time between this method, the FDTD and the finite-volume time-domain methods are given as well. (10.1109/TAP.2005.856046)

  • Bécache Eliane
  • Joly Patrick
  • Rodríguez Jerónimo
  Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, Elsevier, 2005, 194, pp.355-366. We propose here a generalization to the elastodynamic equations of the spacetime mesh refinement technique introduced in [Raffinement de maillage spatio-temporel pour les eŽquations de Maxwell, Ph.D. thesis, Université de Dauphine, Paris, 2000] for the Maxwell's equations. This method uses a discrete energy conservation to ensure the stability. The method is presented in a variational way applicable to other type of hyperbolic systems. Several numerical experiments are provided to show the efficiency of this approach. (10.1016/j.cma.2004.02.023)

• Another approach to linearized elasticity and a new proof of Korn's inequality
  
  • Ciarlet Patrick
  • Ciarlet Philippe G.
  Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, World Scientific Publishing, 2005, 15 (02), pp.259-271. We describe and analyze an approach to the pure traction problem of three-dimensional linearized elasticity, whose novelty consists in considering the linearized strain tensor as the "primary" unknown, instead of the displacement itself as is customary. This approach leads to a well-posed minimization problem, constrained by a weak form of the St Venant compatibility conditions. Interestingly, it also provides a new proof of Korn's inequality.
