Efficient approximation of flow problems with multiple scales in time

In this article we address flow problems that carry a multiscale character in time. In particular we consider the Navier--Stokes flow in a channel on a fast scale that influences the movement of the boundary which undergoes a deformation on a slow scale in time.

Description
Summary:In this article we address flow problems that carry a multiscale character in time. In particular we consider the Navier--Stokes flow in a channel on a fast scale that influences the movement of the boundary which undergoes a deformation on a slow scale in time. We derive an averaging scheme that is of first order with respect to the ratio of time scales $\epsilon$. In order to cope with the problem of unknown initial data for the fast-scale problem, we assume near-periodicity in time. Moreover, we construct a second-order accurate time discretization scheme and derive a complete error analysis for a corresponding simplified ODE system. The resulting multiscale scheme does not ask for the continuous simulation of the fast-scale variable and shows powerful speedups up to 1:10,000 compared to a resolved simulation. Finally, we present some numerical examples for the full Navier--Stokes system to illustrate the convergence and performance of the approach.
