We present a numerical method to deal efficiently with large numbers of particles in incompressible fluids. The interactions between particles and fluid are taken into account by a physically motivated ansatz based on locally defined drag forces. We demonstrate the validity of our approach by performing numerical simulations of sedimenting non-Brownian spheres in two spatial dimensions and compare our results with experiments. Our method reproduces qualitatively important aspects of the experimental findings, in particular the strong anisotropy of the hydrodynamic bulk self-diffusivities.

Two numerical algorithms for solving elastoplastic problems with the finite element method are presented. The first deals with the implementation of the return mapping algorithm and is based on a fixed-point algorithm. This method rewrites the system of elastoplasticity non-linear equations in a form adapted to the fixed-point method. The second algorithm relates to the computation of the elastoplastic consistent tangent matrix using a simple finite difference scheme. A first validation is performed on a nonlinear bar problem. The results obtained show that both numerical algorithms are very efficient and yield the exact solution. The proposed algorithms are applied to a two-dimensional rockfill dam loaded in plane strain. The elastoplastic tangent matrix is calculated by using the finite difference scheme for Mohr–Coulomb’s constitutive law. The results obtained with the developed algorithms are very close to those obtained via the commercial software PLAXIS. It should be noted that the algorithm’s code, developed under the Matlab environment, offers the possibility of modeling the construction phases (i.e., building layer by layer) by activating the different layers according to the imposed loading. This algorithmic and implementation framework allows to easily integrate other laws of nonlinear behaviors, including the Hardening Soil Model.

We present here a constructive method of Lagrangian approximate controllability for the Euler equation. We emphasize on different options that could be used for numerical recipes: either, in the case of a bi-dimensionnal fluid, the use of formal computations in the framework of explicit Runge approximations of holomorphic functions by rational functions, or an approach based on the study of the range of an operator by showing a density result. For this last insight in view of numerical simulations in progress, we analyze through a simplified problem the observed instabilities.
