We study a Robin boundary problem for degenerate parabolic equation. We suggest a notion of entropy solution and propose a result of existence and uniqueness. Numerical simulations illustrate some aspects of solution behaviour. Monodimensional experiments are presented.
This note is devoted to the study of the finite volume methods used in the discretization of degenerate parabolic-hyperbolic equation with zero-flux boundary condition. The notion of an entropy-process solution, successfully used for the Dirichlet problem, is insufficient to obtain a uniqueness and convergence result because of a lack of regularity of solutions on the boundary. We infer the uniqueness of an entropy-process solution using the tool of the nonlinear semigroup theory by passing to the new abstract notion of integral-process solution. Then, we prove that numerical solution converges to the unique entropy solution as the mesh size tends to 0.
We study a degenerate parabolic-hyperbolic equation with zero flux boundary condition. The aim of this paper is to prove convergence of numerical approximate solutions towards the unique entropy solution. We propose an implicit finite volume scheme on admissible mesh. We establish fundamental estimates and prove that the approximate solution converge towards an entropy-process solution. Contrarily to the case of Dirichlet conditions, in zero-flux problem unnatural boundary regularity of the flux is required to establish that entropy-process solution is the unique entropy solution. In the study of well-posedness of the problem, tools of nonlinear semigroup theory (stationary, mild and integral solutions) were used in [Andreianov, Gazibo, ZAMP, 2013] in order to overcome this difficulty. Indeed, in some situations including the one-dimensional setting, solutions of the stationary problem enjoy additional boundary regularity. Here, similar arguments are developed based on the new notion of integral-process solution that we introduce for this purpose.
