Abstract [en]

Galbrun's equation, which is a second order partial differential equation describing the evolution of a so-called Lagrangian displacement vector field, can be used to study acoustics in background flows as well as perturbations of astrophysical flows. Our starting point for deriving Galbrun's equation is linearized Euler's equations, which is a first order system of partial differential equations that describe the evolution of the so-called Eulerian flow perturbations. Given a solution to linearized Euler's equations, we introduce the Lagrangian displacement as the solution to a linear first order partial differential equation, where the Eulerian perturbation of the fluid velocity acts as a source term. Our Lagrangian displacement solves Galbrun's equation, provided it is regular enough and that the so-called no-resonance assumption holds. In the case that the background flow is steady and tangential to the domain boundary, we prove existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on data of solutions to an initial–boundary-value problem for linearized Euler's equations. For such background flows, we demonstrate that the Lagrangian displacement is well-defined, that the initial datum of the Lagrangian displacement can be chosen in order to fulfill the no-resonance assumption, and derive a classical energy estimate for (sufficiently regular solutions to) Galbrun's equation. Due to the presence of zeroth order terms of indefinite signs in the equations, the energy estimate allows solutions that grow exponentially with time.

Abstract [fr]

L'équation de Galbrun, est une équation aux dérivées partielles du second ordre qui décrit l'évolution d'un champ de vecteurs déplacements, dit Lagrangien. Elle peut être utilisée pour étudier l'acoustique des écoulements à grande échelle, ainsi que les perturbations des écoulements astrophysiques. Notre point de départ, pour dériver l'équation de Galbrun, est l'équation d'Euler linéarisée, qui est un système d'équations aux dérivées partielles du premier ordre décrivant l'évolution des perturbations de l'écoulement. Une solution des équations d'Euler linéarisées étant donnée, nous introduisons le déplacement Lagrangien comme étant la solution d'une équation aux dérivées partielles linéaire du premier ordre, dont le second membre est la perturbation Eulérienne de la vitesse du fluide. Ce déplacement Lagrangien est solution de l'équation de Galbrun, à condition qu'il soit suffisamment régulier et que l'hypothèse dite de non-résonance soit satisfaite. Dans le cas où l'écoulement à grande échelle est stationnaire et tangent à la frontière du domaine, nous démontrons des résultats d'existence, d'unicité et de dépendance continue par rapport aux données, pour les solutions d'un problème aux limites avec condition initiale, pour les équations d'Euler linéarisées. Pour de tels écoulements, nous démontrons que le déplacement Lagrangien est bien défini, que la donnée initiale du déplacement Lagrangien peut être choisie afin de satisfaire à l'hypothèse de non-résonance et nous dérivons une estimation classique de l'énergie pour les solutions suffisamment régulières de l'équation de Galbrun. En raison de la présence de termes d'ordre zéro de signes indéfinis dans les équations, l'estimation de l'énergie autorise des solutions qui croissent exponentiellement avec le temps.

Abstract [en]

Part I. Topology optimization is the most general form of design optimization in which the optimal layout of material within a given region of space is to be determined. Filters are essential components of many successful density based topology optimization approaches. The generalized fW-mean filter framework developed in this thesis provides a unified platform for construction, analysis, and implementation of filters. Extending existing algorithms, we demonstrate that under special albeit relevant conditions, the computational complexity of evaluating generalized fW-mean filters and their derivatives is linear in the number of design degrees of freedom. We prove that generalized fW-mean filters guarantee existence of solutions to the penalized minimum compliance problem, the archetypical problem in density based topology optimization. In this problem, the layout of linearly elastic material that minimizes the compliance given static supports and loads is to be determined. We formalize the connection between mathematical morphology and the notion of minimum length scale of a layout of material and thereby provide a theoretical foundation for imposing and assessing minimum length scales in density based topology optimization. Elaborating on the fact that some sequences of generalized fW-mean filters provide differentiable approximations of morphological operators, we devise a method capable of imposing different minimum length scales on the two material phases in minimum compliance problems.

 

Part II. The notion of Friedrichs systems, also known as symmetric positive systems, encompasses many linear models of physical phenomena. The prototype model is Maxwell's equations, which describe the evolution of the electromagnetic field in the presence of electrical charges and currents. In this thesis, we develop well-posed variational formulations of boundary and initial–boundary value problems of Friedrichs systems on bounded domains. In particular, we consider an inhomogeneous initial–boundary value problem that models lossless propagation of acoustic disturbances in a stagnant fluid. Galbrun's equation is a linear second order vector differential equation in the so-called Lagrangian displacement, which was derived to model lossless propagation of acoustic disturbances in the presence of a background flow. Our analysis of Galbrun's equation is centered on the observation that solutions to Galbrun's equation may be formally constructed from solutions to linearized Euler's equations. More precisely, the Lagrangian displacement is constructed as the solution to a transport-type equation driven by the Eulerian velocity perturbation. We present partial results on the well-posedness of Galbrun's equation in the particular case that the background flow is everywhere tangential to the domain boundary by demonstrating mild well-posedness of an initial–boundary value problem for linearized Euler's equations and that our construction of the Lagrangian displacement is well-defined. Moreover, we demonstrate that sufficiently regular solutions to Galbrun's equation satisfy an energy estimate.
