A Formulation of the Porous Medium Equation with Time-Dependent Porosity: A Priori Estimates and Regularity Results

We consider a generalized form of the porous medium equation where the porosity ϕis a function of time t: ϕ=ϕ(x,t): ∂(ϕS)∂t−∇⋅(k(S)∇S)=Q(S).In many works, the porosity ϕis either assumed to be independent of (or to depend very little of) the time variable t. In this work, we want to study the case where it does depend on t(and xas well). For this purpose, we make a change of unknown function V=ϕSin order to obtain a saturation-like (advection-diffusion) equation. A priori estimates and regularity results are established for the new equation based in part on what is known from the saturation equation, when ϕis independent of the time t. These results are then extended to the full saturation equation with time-dependent porosity ϕ=ϕ(x,t). In this analysis, we make explicitly the dependence of the various constants in the estimates on the porosity ϕby the introduced transport vector w, through the change of unknown function. Also we do not assume zero-flux boundary, but we carry the analysis for the case Q≡0.

On the Well-Posedness Problem of the Anisotropic Porous Medium Equation with a Variable Diffusion Coefficient

The initial-boundary value problem of an anisotropic porous medium equation■is studied.Compared with the usual porous medium equation,there are two different characteristics in this equation.One lies in its anisotropic property,another one is that there is a nonnegative variable diffusion coefficient a(x,t)additionally.Since a(x,t)may be degenerate on the parabolic boundary∂Ω×(0,T),instead of the boundedness of the gradient|∇u|for the usual porous medium,we can only show that∇u∈L^(∞)(0,T;L^(2)_(loc)(Ω)).Based on this property,the partial boundary value conditions matching up with the anisotropic porous medium equation are discovered and two stability theorems of weak solutions can be proved naturally.

Neural Network-Based Variational Methods for Solving Quadratic Porous Medium Equations in High Dimensions

In this paper,we propose and study neural network-based methods for solutions of high-dimensional quadratic porous medium equation(QPME).Three variational formulations of this nonlinear PDE are presented:a strong formulation and two weak formulations.For the strong formulation,the solution is directly parameterized with a neural network and optimized by minimizing the PDEresidual.It can be proved that the convergence of the optimization problem guarantees the convergence of the approximate solution in the L^(1)sense.Theweak formulations are derived following(Brenier in Examples of hidden convexity in nonlinear PDEs,2020)which characterizes the very weak solutions of QPME.Specifically speaking,the solutions are represented with intermediate functions who are parameterized with neural networks and are trained to optimize the weak formulations.Extensive numerical tests are further carried out to investigate the pros and cons of each formulation in low and high dimensions.This is an initial exploration made along the line of solving high-dimensional nonlinear PDEs with neural network-based methods,which we hope can provide some useful experience for future investigations.

Also, the life span of the quenching solution is estimated or evaluated for some domains.

A General Linear Wave Theory for Water Waves Propagating over Uneven Porous Bottoms

Starting from the widespread phenomena of porous bottoms in the near shore region, considering fully the diversity of bottom topography and wave number variation, and including the effect of evanescent modes, a general linear wave theory for water waves propagating over uneven porous bottoms in the near shore region is established by use of Green's second identity. This theory can be reduced to a number of the most typical mild-slope equations currently in use and provide a reliable research basis for follow-up development of nonlinear water wave theory involving porous bottoms.

Stability of buoyancy-driven convection in an Oldroyd-B fluid-saturated anisotropic porous layer

The nonlinear stability of thermal convection in a layer of an Oldroyd-B fluid-saturated Darcy porous medium with anisotropic permeability and thermal diffu- sivity is investigated with the perturbation method. A modified Darcy-Oldroyd model is used to describe the flow in a layer of an anisotropic porous medium. The results of the linear instability theory are delineated. The thresholds for the stationary and oscillatory convection boundaries are established, and the crossover boundary between them is de- marcated by identifying a codimension-two point in the viscoelastic parameter plane. The stability of the stationary and oscillatory bifurcating solutions is analyzed by deriving the cubic Landau equations. It shows that these solutions always bifurcate supercritically. The heat transfer is estimated in terms of the Nusselt number for the stationary and oscillatory modes. The result shows that, when the ratio of the thermal to mechanical anisotropy parameters increases, the heat transfer decreases.

Nonlinear Diffusion and Transient Osmosis

We investigate both analytically and numerically the concentration dynamics of a solution in two containers connected by a narrow and short channel, in which diffusion obeys a porous medium equation. We also consider the variation of the pressure in the containers due to the flow of matter in the channel. In particular, we identify a phenomenon, which depends on the transport of matter across nano-porous membranes, which we call ＂transient osmosis＂. We find that nonlinear diffusion of the porous medium equation type allows numerous different osmotic-like phenomena, which are not present in the case of ordinary Fickian diffusion. Experimental results suggest one possible candidate for transiently osmotic processes.

Motion through spherical droplet with non-homogenous porous layer in spherical container

The problem of the creeping flow through a spherical droplet with a non-homogenous porous layer in a spherical container has been studied analytically.Darcy’s model for the flow inside the porous annular region and the Stokes equation for the flow inside the spherical cavity and container are used to analyze the flow.The drag force is exerted on the porous spherical particles enclosing a cavity,and the hydrodynamic permeability of the spherical droplet with a non-homogeneous porous layer is calculated.Emphasis is placed on the spatially varying permeability of a porous medium,which is not covered in all the previous works related to spherical containers.The variation of hydrodynamic permeability and the wall effect with respect to various flow parameters are presented and discussed graphically.The streamlines are presented to discuss the kinematics of the flow.Some previous results for hydrodynamic permeability and drag forces have been verified as special limiting cases.

Regional, Single Point, and Global Blow-Up for the Fourth-Order Porous Medium Type Equation with Source

Blow-up behaviour for the fourth-order quasilinear porous medium equation with source,ut=-（｜u｜^nu）xxxx＋｜u｜^p-1u in R×R＋,where n 〉 0, p 〉 1, is studied. Countable and finite families of similarity blow-up patterns of the form us（x,t）=（T-t）^-1/p-1f（y）,where y=x/（T-t）^β＇ β=p-（n＋1）/4（p-1）,which blow-up as t → T^- 〈∞ are described. These solutions explain key features of regional （for p = n＋1）, single point （for p 〉 n＋1）, and global （for p ∈ （1,n＋1））blowup. The concepts and various variational, bifurcation, and numerical approaches for revealing the structure and multiplicities of such blow-up patterns are presented.
