As a first draft of a model for a river flowing on a homogeneous porous ground, we consider a system where the Darcy and Stokes equations are coupled appropriate matching conditions on the interface. We propose a discretization of this problem which combines the mortar method with standard finite elements, in order to handle separately the flow inside and outside the porous medium. We prove and error estimates for the resulting discrete problem. Some numerical experiments confirm...

A finite element discretization of the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations with mixed boundary conditions

Christine Bernardi, Frédéric Hecht, Rüdiger Verfürth (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We consider a variational formulation of the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations with mixed boundary conditions and prove that the variational problem admits a solution provided that the domain satisfies a suitable regularity assumption. Next, we propose a finite element discretization relying on the Galerkin method and establish and error estimates.

Finite-element discretizations of a two-dimensional grade-two fluid model

Similarity:

We propose and analyze several finite-element schemes for solving a grade-two fluid model, with a tangential boundary condition, in a two-dimensional polygon. The exact problem is split into a generalized Stokes problem and a transport equation, in such a way that it always has a solution without restriction on the shape of the domain and on the size of the data. The first scheme uses divergence-free discrete velocities and a centered discretization of the transport term, whereas the...
