Mixed Finite Element approximation of an MHD problem involving conducting and insulating regions: the 2D case

Jean Luc Guermond, Peter D. Minev (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We show that the Maxwell equations in the low frequency limit, in a domain composed of insulating and conducting regions, has a saddle point structure, where the electric field in the insulating region is the Lagrange multiplier that enforces the curl-free constraint on the magnetic field. We propose a mixed finite element technique for solving this problem, and we show that, under mild regularity assumption on the data, Lagrange finite elements can be used as an alternative to edge...

More pressure in the finite element discretization of the Stokes problem

Christine Bernardi, Frédéric Hecht (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

For the Stokes problem in a two- or three-dimensional bounded domain, we propose a new mixed finite element discretization which relies on a nonconforming approximation of the velocity and a more accurate approximation of the pressure. We prove that the velocity and pressure discrete spaces are compatible, in the sense that they satisfy an inf-sup condition of Babuška and Brezzi type, and we derive some error estimates.

A subspace correction method for discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of linear elasticity equations

Blanca Ayuso de Dios, Ivan Georgiev, Johannes Kraus, Ludmil Zikatanov (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

We study preconditioning techniques for discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of isotropic linear elasticity problems in primal (displacement) formulation. We propose subspace correction methods based on a splitting of the vector valued piecewise linear discontinuous finite element space, that are optimal with respect to the mesh size and the Lamé parameters. The pure displacement, the mixed and the traction free problems are discussed in detail. We present a convergence analysis of...

Mixed approximation of eigenvalue problems: A superconvergence result

Francesca Gardini (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We state a superconvergence result for the lowest order Raviart-Thomas approximation of eigenvalue problems. It is known that a similar superconvergence result holds for the mixed approximation of Laplace problem; here we introduce a new proof, since the one given for the source problem cannot be generalized in a straightforward way to the eigenvalue problem. Numerical experiments confirm the superconvergence property and suggest that it also holds for the lowest order Brezzi-Douglas-Marini...

Mixed finite element approximation for a coupled petroleum reservoir model

Mohamed Amara, Daniela Capatina-Papaghiuc, Bertrand Denel, Peppino Terpolilli (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper, we are interested in the modelling and the finite element approximation of a petroleum reservoir, in axisymmetric form. The flow in the porous medium is governed by the Darcy-Forchheimer equation coupled with a rather exhaustive energy equation. The semi-discretized problem is put under a mixed variational formulation, whose approximation is achieved by means of conservative Raviart-Thomas elements for the fluxes and of piecewise constant elements for the pressure and...
