3 Why: system of conservation laws in ECBM Recovery Transport with adsorption in Enhanced CoalBed Methane processes U t + f (U) = 0 Ut z 8 } 9 { f (U) equilibrium >< 8 9 >= z } { < kinetic = MULTICOMPONENT + TRANSPORT = 0 non equilibrium double porosity >: : hysteretic ; >; {z } advection/ diffusion Multicomponent adsorption: (competitive/selective/preferential). Many processes are kinetic (e.g, coal swelling) Macropore + mesopore + micropore = double and triple porosity Adsorption-desorption hysteresis

4 Extend u t + f (u) x = 0 to adsorption models Scalar conservation law with adsorption equilibrium or non-equilibrium (relaxation) u t + v t + u x = 0, v = g(u) u t + v t + u x = 0, v t = 1 (g(u) v) τ [BarrKnab 9*],[KleinPesz 10] [TveitoWinth 97,Pember 93,MajdaCollRoyt ] Scalar conservation law with rate-dependent memory (double-porosity diffusion at a lower scale) αu t + β u t + f (u) x = 0 [Literature on ECBM], [Hyporheic exchange: Haggerty 95-02],[PeszShow 07,PeszYiShow[cw]] Conservation law with rate-independent memory: hysteresis G maximal monotone graph u t + v t + u x = 0, v G(u) [PeszynskaShowalter 97[D&IE]], [Literature on ECBM]

5 Extend u t + f (u) x = 0 to adsorption models Scalar conservation law with adsorption equilibrium or non-equilibrium (relaxation) u t + v t + u x = 0, v = g(u) u t + v t + u x = 0, v t = 1 (g(u) v) τ [BarrKnab 9*],[KleinPesz 10] [TveitoWinth 97,Pember 93,MajdaCollRoyt ] Scalar conservation law with rate-dependent memory (double-porosity diffusion at a lower scale) αu t + β u t + f (u) x = 0 [Literature on ECBM], [Hyporheic exchange: Haggerty 95-02],[PeszShow 07,PeszYiShow[cw]] Conservation law with rate-independent memory: hysteresis G maximal monotone graph u t + v t + u x = 0, v G(u) [PeszynskaShowalter 97[D&IE]], [Literature on ECBM]

6 Conservation law for adsorption hysteresis Adsorption equilibrium u t + v t + u x = 0 v = g(u) Adsorption kinetics: u t + v t + u x = 0 v t + 1 (v g(u)) = 0 τ Adsorption hysteresis u t + v t + u x = 0 v t + c(v u) 0 Here c( ) is a maximal monotone graph representing hysteresis. Preisach model of hysteresis uses differential equations (DE) Analysis in [PeszynskaShowalter 97[D&IE]]: continuity of solutions for convex-concave hysteresis graphs Applications: significant hysteresis in ECBM [Kovcsek et al 08]

7 Understand DE with hysteresis, Preisach construction Some notation and vocabulary for v (t) + c(v u) 0. Identify c : D(c) R (set-valued) with its graph c R R c is monotone if (v 1 v 2 )(u 1 u 2 ) 0. u 1, u 2 D(c), v 1 c(u 1 ), v 2 c(u 2 ) c is maximal if for any (some) α > 0, (I + αc) is onto R Follow semigroup theory for v (t) + c(v u) 0 [Kato, Brézis, Dorroh, Crandall-Liggett] Example: Graph c Resolvent J α := (I + αc) 1 Yosida appr. c α := 1 α (I Jα)

8 Preisach hysteresis via an auxiliary DE Given input u(t), find v: Graph c with D(c) := [ 1, 0] v (t) + c(v u) 0 Understand the evolution problem v u D(c) means 1 v u 0. v > 0 iff 1 = v u v < 0 iff v u = 0 v.. = iff <.. v... u.. <.. 0 Solution v

9 Numerical scheme(s), adsorption hysteresis Model problem u t + v t + u x = 0 v t + c(v u) 0 Approximation scheme [Peszynska 11[ms]] (1) u n j u n 1 j + v n j v n 1 j + λ(u n 1 j u n 1 j 1 ) = 0 (2) v n j vj n 1 + kc(v n j u n j ) }{{} HOW? 0 Understand the in the numerical scheme Use Yosida approximation c α, explicit or semi-implicit (2, YA) v n j v n 1 j + kc α (v n j Use Resolvent J k, semi-implicit (2, J k ) v n j u n j = Resolvent {}}{ (I + kc) 1 (vj n 1 u n j )=0 u n j ) := J k (v n 1 j u n j )

10 Theorem Stability of the scheme(s)[pesz[cw]] The [YA] explicit scheme is stable with k = k(α, h). Error: O(k + h + α) Proof: Note c α is ( 1 α )-Lipschitz; extend [TveitoWinther 96[SJMA]]( scalar laws with relaxation) Theorem The [Resolvent] implicit scheme is stable if λ = k h 1. Error: O(k + h) i) U n 1 + V n 1 U n V n 1 1 ii) TV(U n ) + TV(V n ) TV(U n 1 ) + TV(V n 1 ) Proof (i): (monotone operator techniques in L 1 ) u n j u n 1 j c(v n j u n j ) + λ(un 1 j v n j + c(v n j u n j ) vn 1 j sign(v n j ) add them together, note (sign(v n j ) sign(un j ))c(vn j u n j ) 0 to get u n 1 j 1 ) 0 sign(un j ) u n j + vn j un 1 j (1 λ) + λ u n 1 j 1 + vn 1 j Proof (ii): similar techniques, but harder

11 Order of convergence of the scheme Use ODE analysis via method of lines... (after spatial discretization) Rewrite as u j(t) + v j(t) + 1 h (u j(t) u j 1 (t)) = 0 v j(t) + c(v j u j ) 0 U (t) + V (t) = f (t, U) V (t) + c(v U) 0 For every h, use ODE analysis [Rulla 96[SJNA], RullaWalkington 96[SJNA]] to show that the schemes converge with O( k) or O(k). Convergence of fully discrete scheme as (h, k) 0 [Pesz[cw]] Consistency analysis in [Rulla 96[SJNA], RullaWalkington 96[SJNA]] only in Hilbert spaces Our stability analysis only in L 1. Convergence to entropy solutions (Kruzhkov-style)???

12 Animation example Numerical solution has the correct behavior Both u, v are smooth [PS 97,P 98] The constraint u(x, t) v(x, t) 1 holds v does not change when u(x, t) v(x, t) < 1

13 Algorithmic aspects of the semi-implicit scheme Given v n 1 j, u n 1 j, need to find u n j, vn j : (1) u n j u n 1 j + v n j vj n 1 + λ(uj n 1 u n 1 j 1 ) = 0 (2) v n j v n 1 j + kc(v n j u n j ) }{{} HOW? How do we actually solve this implicit problem? Recall Resolvent J k in z } { (2J) v n j u n j = (I + kc) 1 (v n 1 j u n j ) := J k(v n 1 j u n j ) 0 Newton methods 2 require J k C 2 but J k is only defined a.e. Have to satisfy the constraint 1 v n j u n j 0 (u n j, vn j ) D(c) Idea: use semi-smooth Newton methods These converge superlinearly with J k defined only a.e.

16 Obstacle problem as a minimization Elliptic (P)DE with constraint J(v) := 1 2 u = 1, x (0, 1), u(0) = u(1) = 0 Z 1 0 (v ) 2 dx Z 1 a(u, v) := R 1 uvdx, a(, ) bil., symm.,cont., coercive on V 0 Unconstrained: u = min v V J(v)... a(u, v) = f, u, v V 0 vdx, V = H 1 0(0, 1) Obstacle problem: min v K J(v) K := {v V : v 0.1} Finding inf u K J(u) is equivalent to Variational Inequality (VI) u K K : a(u K, v u K) < f, v u K >, v V

17 How to interpret and solve VI numerically? Interpret Example (): u ψ (VI) u K K : a(u K, v u K) < f, v u K >, v V as (VI) = 2 u K f & u K ψ, a.e.x Ω (VI) = ( 2 u K f )(u K ψ) = 0 a.e.x Ω Discretize (VI)... to have, in V = R N Au f = λ u ψ 0, λ 0, (u ψ, λ) = 0

18 Solvability conditions (VI) Discretization (VI) leads to... problem in V = R N Ex. (3-): u ψ Au f = λ u ψ 0, λ 0, (u ψ, λ) = 0 Solve as a Linear Complementarity Problem or (non)linear programming problem [Cottle, Gilbert] Solvability conditions (any A) sufficient: A T = A 0 sufficient and necessary: A is of type (all principal minors are positive) sufficient and necessary: real part of all eigenvalues of A and its principal submatrices are positive Solvability of nonlinear problem?

Au + ( λ) = f 8 < : u 0 λ 0 λ T u = 0 Linear problem with A 0 8 < : H(u, λ) = 0 F(u, λ) 0 G(u, λ) 0 F(u, λ)g(u, λ) = 0 Formulation: [Knabner/Eck 09, Ben-Gharbia/Gilbert/Jaffre 10] What properties ofh, F, G guarantee solvability? [P 11] Nonlinear problem with a solution Nonlinear problem without a solution

20 Constrained problem using monotone operator methods Au + ( λ) = f u 0, λ 0, (u, λ) V = 0 rewrite as Au + ( λ) = f λ B(u) then we can analyze solvability Theorem Au + B(u) f From monotone operator theory A accretive+lip. & B m-accretive =!u V Nonlinear problems analysis [P[cw]]
