| Research Abstract |
(1) We have developed a numerical method for computing accurately drag and lift exerted by the fluid to a body immersed in the flow field. Transforming those values to equivalent integrals in the domain, we have succeeded in establishing error estimates. We have obtained accurate drag coefficients of a sphere by this method. The restults have been extended to evolutional problems and best possible error estimates have been obtained.
(2) The system of Rayleigh-Benard equations with infinite Prandtl number is a mathematical model describing heat convection phenomena in slow flows such as the Earth's mantle convection.We have developed a finite element scheme for this system, established error estimates, made an effective parallel code for three-dimensional computation, and performed numerical simulation for the Earth's mantle convection.
(3) We have developed mathematical theory and computation algorithms to find exact solutions of partial differential equations from numerical computation results. Those methods have been applied to the stationary Stokes equations, the Navier-Stokes equations, stationary bifurcation solution of heat convection problems.
(4) We have applied Dirichlet-Neumann mapping to exterior problems and developed combined numerical methods with a charge simulation method for the harmonic equation and with a domain decomposition method for the Helmholtz equation.
(5) We have constructed a mathematical model to analyze effect to ecological system caused by coastal oil pollution and performed the numerical simulation and the visualization. The obtained results are in good agreement with physical experimental results.
(6) The interface of porous media flow takes various behavior depending on the initial state. Using finite difference method we have given a sufficient condition for the separation of the support of the solution and upper and lower estimates of the waiting time for the initial interface to keep invariant.
