This model describes the biological chemotaxis phenomenon in the fluid environment and couples a convective chemotaxis system for the oxygen-consuming and oxytactic bacteria with the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations subject to a gravitational force, which is proportional to the relative surplus of the cell density compared to the water density. We develop a new positivity preserving and high-resolution method for the studied chemotaxis-fluid system. Our method is based on the diffuse-domain approach, which we use to derive a new chemotaxis-fluid diffuse-domain (cf-DD) model for simulating bioconvection in complex geometries. The drop domain is imbedded into a larger rectangular domain, and the original boundary is replaced by a diffuse interface with finite thickness. The original chemotaxis-fluid system is reformulated on the larger domain with additional source terms that approximate the boundary conditions on the physical interface. We show that the cf-DD model converges to the chemotaxis-fluid model asymptotically as the width of the diffuse interface shrinks to zero. We numerically solve the resulting cf-DD system by a second-order hybrid finite-volume finite-difference method and demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach on a number of numerical experiments that showcase several interesting chemotactic phenomena in sessile drops of different shapes, where the bacterial patterns depend on the droplet geometries.}, journal={MATHEMATICAL MODELS & METHODS IN APPLIED SCIENCES}, author={Wang, Chenxi and Chertock, Alina and Cui, Shumo and Kurganov, Alexander and Zhang, Zhen}, year={2023}, month={Feb} }

The use of regular rectangular grids that intersect with the irregular boundaries leads to the generation of arbitrarily small and highly distorted computational cells adjacent to the boundaries of the domain. The appearance of such cells may affect both the stability and efficiency of the numerical method and therefore require special attention. In order to overcome this difficulty, we introduce a structured quadrilateral mesh, which is designed for the irregular domain at hand, and solve the studied atmospheric flow equations using a second-order central-upwind scheme. In addition, the resulting numerical method is developed to provide a well-balanced discretization of the underlying system. The latter is achieved by rewriting the governing equations in terms of equilibrium variables representing perturbations of the known background equilibrium state.

In particular, we combine conservation of mass and momentum for an isentropic macroscopic model with a kinetic representation of the microscopic behavior. After introducing a small scale of interest, we compute the complex stress tensor by means of the Irving-Kirkwood formula. The latter requires an expansion of the kinetic distribution around an equilibrium state and a successive homogenization over the fast in time and small in space scale dynamics. For a new hybrid continuum-kinetic model the results of linear stability analysis indicate a conditional stability in the relevant low speed regimes and linear instability for high speed regimes for higher modes. Extensive numerical experiments confirm that the proposed multiscale model can reflect new phenomena of complex fluids not being present in standard Newtonian fluids. Consequently, the proposed general technique can be successfully used to derive new interesting systems combining the macro and micro structure of a given physical problem.}, number={5}, journal={Partial Differential Equations and Applications}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Chertock, A. and Degond, P. and Dimarco, G. and Lukáčová-Medvid’ová, M. and Ruhi, A.}, year={2022}, month={Oct} }

We present two different numerical methods—finite volume (FV) and hybrid finite-volume-particle (FVP) ones. In the FV setup, we rewrite the 2CH equations in a conservative form and numerically solve it by the central-upwind scheme, while in the FVP method, we apply the central-upwind scheme to the density equation only while solving the momentum and velocity equations by a deterministic particle method. Numerical examples are shown to verify the accuracy of both FV and FVP methods. The obtained results demonstrate that the FVP method outperforms the FV method and achieves a superior resolution thanks to a low-diffusive nature of a particle approximation.

In this paper, we develop a robust and efficient numerical method for shallow water equations with moving bottom topography. The model consists of the Saint-Venant system governing the water flow coupled with the Exner equation for the sediment transport. One of the main difficulties in designing good numerical methods for such models is related to the fact that the speed of water surface gravity waves is typically much faster than the speed at which the changes in the bottom topography occur. This imposes a severe stability restriction on the size of time steps, which, in turn, leads to excessive numerical diffusion that affects the computed bottom structure. In order to overcome this difficulty, we develop an operator splitting approach for the underlying coupled system, which allows one to treat slow and fast waves in a different manner and using different time steps. Our method is based on the application of a finite-volume central-upwind scheme introduced in [A. Kurganov and G. Petrova, Commun. Math. Sci., 5:133–160, 2007], and incorporates a staggered grid strategy needed for a proper approximation of the bottom topography function.

A common property of all chemotaxis systems is their ability to model a concentration phenomenon—rapid growth of the cell density in small neighborhoods of concentration points/curves. More precisely, the solution may develop singular, spiky structures, or even blow up in finite time. Therefore, the development of accurate and computationally efficient numerical methods for the chemotaxis models is a challenging task. We study the two-species Patlak–Keller–Segel type chemotaxis system, in which the two species do not compete, but have different chemotactic sensitivities, which may lead to a significantly difference in cell density growth rates. This phenomenon was numerically investigated in Kurganov and Lukáčová-Medviďová (2014) and Chertock et al. (2018), where second- and higher-order methods on uniform Cartesian grids were developed. However, in order to achieve high resolution of the density spikes developed by the species with a lower chemotactic sensitivity, a very fine mesh had to be utilized and thus the efficiency of the numerical method was affected. In this work, we consider an alternative approach relying on mesh adaptation, which helps to improve the approximation of the singular structures evolved by chemotaxis models. We develop, in particular, an adaptive moving mesh (AMM) finite-volume semi-discrete upwind method for the two-species chemotaxis system. The proposed AMM technique allows one to increase the density of mesh nodes at the blowup regions.

The parabolic scaling yields a non-dimensional kinetic model with a small parameter, which represents the mean free path of the cells. We propose a new asymptotic preserving numerical scheme that reflects the convergence of the studied micro-macro model to its macroscopic counterpart-the Patlak-Keller-Segel system-in the singular limit.

In particular, we use the so-called even-odd decoupling and approximate the stiff terms arising in the singular limit implicitly. We prove that the resulting scheme satisfies the asymptotic preserving property.

Our goal is to design an asymptotic preserving (AP) scheme, which is uniformly asymptotically consistent and stable for a broad range of (low) Froude numbers. The goal is achieved using the flux splitting proposed in [Haack et al., Commun. Comput. Phys., 12 (2012), pp. 955–980] in the context of isentropic Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. We split the flux into the stiff and nonstiff parts and then use an implicit-explicit approach: apply an explicit hyperbolic solver (we use the second-order central-upwind scheme) to the nonstiff part of the system while treating the stiff part of it implicitly. Moreover, the stiff part of the flux is linear and therefore we reduce the implicit stage of the proposed method to solving a Poisson-type elliptic equation, which is discretized using a standard second-order central difference scheme. We conduct a series of numerical experiments, which demonstrate that the developed AP scheme achieves the theoretical second-order rate of convergence and the time-step stability restriction is independent of the Froude number.

Collective cell movement can be described by a system of nonlinear PDEs on both macroscopic and microscopic levels. The classical PDE chemotaxis model is the Patlak-Keller-Segel system, which consists of a convection-diffusion equation for the cell density and a reaction-diffusion equation for the chemoattractant concentration. At the cellular (microscopic) level, a multiscale chemotaxis models can be used. These models are based on a combination of the macroscopic evolution equation for chemoattractant and microscopic models for cell evolution. The latter is governed by a Boltzmann-type kinetic equation with a local turning kernel operator that describes the velocity change of the cells. A common property of the chemotaxis systems is their ability to model a concentration phenomenon that mathematically results in solutions rapidly growing in small neighborhoods of concentration points/curves. The solutions may blow up or may exhibit a very singular, spiky behavior. In either case, capturing such singular solutions numerically is a challenging problem and the use of higher-order methods and/or adaptive strategies is often necessary.

In these methods, a numerical solution is sought as a linear combination of Dirac delta-functions located at certain points. The locations and coefficients (weights) of the delta-functions are first chosen to accurately approximate the initial data and then are evolved in time according to the system of ODEs obtained from a weak formulation of the considered problem. The main advantage of the particle methods is their low numerical diffusion that allows them to capture a variety of nonlinear waves with a high resolution. Even though the most “natural” application of the particle methods is linear transport equations, over the years, the range of these methods has been extended for approximating solutions of convection–diffusion and dispersive equations and general nonlinear problems.

The gas phase is modeled by the compressible Euler equations of gas dynamics and the dust phase is modeled by the pressureless gas dynamics equations. These two sets of conservation laws are coupled through source terms that model momentum and heat transfers between the phases. When an Eulerian method is adopted for this model, one can notice the obtained numerical results are typically significantly affected by numerical diffusion. This phenomenon occurs since the pressureless gas equations are nonstrictly hyperbolic and have degenerate structure in which singular delta shocks are formed, and these strong singularities are vulnerable to the numerical diffusion. We introduce a low dissipative hybrid finite-volume-particle method in which the compressible Euler equations for the gas phase are solved by a central-upwind scheme, while the pressureless gas dynamics equations for the dust phase are solved by a sticky particle method. The obtained numerical results demonstrate that our hybrid method provides a sharp resolution even when a relatively small number of particle is used. We then extend the hybrid finite-volume-particle method to the three-dimensional dusty gas flows with axial symmetry. In the studied model, gravitational effects are taken into account. This brings an additional level of complexity to the development of the finite-volume-particle method since a delicate balance between the flux and gravitational source terms should be respected at the discrete level. We test the proposed method on a number of numerical examples including the one that models volcanic eruptions.

While in some practical applications the bottom friction does not have much influence on the solutions, there are still many applications, where the bottom friction is important. In particular, the friction terms will play a significant role when the depth of the water is very small. In this paper, we study shallow water equations with friction terms and develop a semi‐discrete second‐order central‐upwind scheme that is capable of exactly preserving physically relevant steady states and maintaining the positivity of the water depth. The presence of the friction terms increases the level of complexity in numerical simulations as the underlying semi‐discrete system becomes stiff when the water depth is small. We therefore implement an efficient semi‐implicit Runge‐Kutta time integration method that sustains the well‐balanced and sign preserving properties of the semi‐discrete scheme. We test the designed method on a number of one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional examples that demonstrate robustness and high resolution of the proposed numerical approach. The data in the last numerical example correspond to the laboratory experiments reported in [L. Cea, M. Garrido, and J. Puertas, Journal of Hydrology, 382 (2010), pp. 88–102], designed to mimic the rain water drainage in urban areas containing houses. Since the rain water depth is typically several orders of magnitude smaller than the height of the houses, we develop a special technique, which helps to achieve a remarkable agreement between the numerical and experimental results.

In the literature, a simplified chemotaxis–fluid system has been proposed as a model for bio-convection in modestly diluted cell suspensions. It couples a convective chemotaxis system for the oxygen-consuming and oxytactic bacteria with the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations subject to a gravitational force proportional to the relative surplus of the cell density compared to the water density. In this paper, we derive a high-resolution vorticity-based hybrid finite-volume finite-difference scheme, which allows us to investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a two-dimensional chemotaxis–fluid system with boundary conditions matching an experiment of Hillesdon et al.

We present selected numerical examples, which illustrate (i) the formation of sinking plumes, (ii) the possible merging of neighbouring plumes and (iii) the convergence towards numerically stable stationary plumes. The examples with stable stationary plumes show how the surface-directed oxytaxis continuously feeds cells into a high-concentration layer near the surface, from where the fluid flow (recurring upwards in the space between the plumes) transports the cells into the plumes, where then gravity makes the cells sink and constitutes the driving force in maintaining the fluid convection and, thus, in shaping the plumes into (numerically) stable stationary states.

The method is based on the idea of sticky particles, which seems to work perfectly well for the models with point mass concentrations and strong singularity formations. In this method, the solution is sought in the form of a linear combination of $\delta$-functions, whose positions and coefficients represent locations, masses, and momenta of the particles, respectively. The locations of the particles are then evolved in time according to a system of ODEs, obtained from a weak formulation of the system of PDEs. The particle velocities are approximated in a special way using global conservative piecewise polynomial reconstruction technique over an auxiliary Cartesian mesh. This velocities correction procedure leads to a desired interaction between the particles and hence to clustering of particles at the singularities followed by the merger of the clustered particles into a new particle located at their center of mass. The proposed sticky particle method is then analytically studied. We show that our particle approximation satisfies the original system of pressureless gas dynamics in a weak sense, but only within a certain residual, which is rigorously estimated. We also explain why the relevant errors should diminish as the total number of particles increases. Finally, we numerically test our new sticky particle method on a variety of one- and two-dimensional problems as well as compare the obtained results with those computed by a high-resolution finite-volume scheme. Our simulations demonstrate the superiority of the results obtained by the sticky particle method that accurately tracks the evolution of developing discontinuities and does not smear the developing $\delta$-shocks.}, number={6}, journal={SIAM JOURNAL ON NUMERICAL ANALYSIS}, author={Chertock, Alina and Kurganov, Alexander and Rykov, Yurii}, year={2007}, pages={2408–2441} }

The locations and weights of the particles are then evolved in time according to a system of ODEs, obtained from the weak formulation of the transport PDEs. The major theoretical difficulty in solving the resulting system of ODEs is the lack of smoothness of its right-hand side. While the existence of a generalized solution is guaranteed by the theory of Filippov, the uniqueness can only be obtained via a proper regularization. Another difficulty one may encounter is related to an interpretation of the computed solution, whose point values are to be recovered from its particle distribution. We demonstrate that some of known recovering procedures, suitable for smooth functions, may fail to produce reasonable results in the nonsmooth case, and discuss several successful strategies which may be useful in practice.

This paper extends our previous works on the effects of diffusion with saturation on convection and the impact of saturation on porous media-type diffusion, where it has been demonstrated that a nonlinear saturating diffusion is susceptible to a self-induced formation of discontinuities. In this work we demonstrate that nonlinear convection enhances the breakdown effect. We carry both analytical and numerical studies of the model equation, ut + f(u)x = [φ(u)Q(ux, u)]x, where Q is a bounded increasing function, φ(0) = 0 and φ(u) ∼ un, n > 0 for u ∼ 0. Depending on a choice of n, we obtain two distinctive processes. If 0 ≤ n ≤ 1, a discontinuity forms only when the upstream–downstream disparity exceeds a critical threshold, but if n > 1, all travelling waves are found to have a sharp discontinuous front. In fact, given a compact or a semi-compact initial datum, the front will not start to move until such a discontinuity forms.}, number={2}, journal={NONLINEARITY}, author={Chertock, A and Kurganov, A and Rosenau, P}, year={2005}, month={Mar}, pages={609–630} }

In two dimensions our approach for obtaining a sparse representation is significantly simpler than the alternative sparse representations. $L^{\infty}$ error estimates are derived for a sample elliptic problem.

The flow is modeled by the one- and two-dimensional Saint-Venant system of shallow water equations and the pollutant propagation is described by a transport equation. This paper is an extension of our previous work (Chertock, Kurganov and Petrova, J. Sci. Comput. (to appear)), where the one-dimensional finite-volume-particle method has been proposed. The core idea behind the finite-volume-particle method is to use different schemes for the flow and pollution computations: the shallow water equations are numerically integrated using a finite-volume scheme, while the transport equation is solved by a particle method. This way the specific advantages of each scheme are utilized at the right place. A special attention is given to the recovery of the point values of the numerical solution from its particle distribution. The reconstruction is obtained using a dual equation for the pollutant concentration. This results in a significantly enhanced resolution of the computed solution and also makes it much easier to extend the finite-volume-particle method to the two-dimensional case.
