Effective computation of restoring force vector in finite element method

Martin Balazovjech, Ladislav Halada (2007)

Kybernetika

We introduce a new way of computation of time dependent partial differential equations using hybrid method FEM in space and FDM in time domain and explicit computational scheme. The key idea is quick transformation of standard basis functions into new simple basis functions. This new way is used for better computational efficiency. We explain this way of computation on an example of elastodynamic equation using quadrilateral elements. However, the method can be used for more types of elements and...

Efficient application of e-invariants in finite element method for an elastodynamic equation

Martin Balazovjech, Ladislav Halada (2013)

Kybernetika

We introduce a new efficient way of computation of partial differential equations using a hybrid method composed from FEM in space and FDM in time domain. The overall computational scheme is explicit in time. The key idea of the suggested way is based on a transformation of standard basis functions into new basis functions. The results of this matrix transformation are e-invariants (effective invariants) with such suitable properties which save the number of arithmetical operations needed for a...

Efficient reduced-basis treatment of nonaffine and nonlinear partial differential equations

Martin A. Grepl, Yvon Maday, Ngoc C. Nguyen, Anthony T. Patera (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, we extend the reduced-basis approximations developed earlier for linear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations with affine parameter dependence to problems involving (a) nonaffine dependence on the parameter, and (b) nonlinear dependence on the field variable. The method replaces the nonaffine and nonlinear terms with a coefficient function approximation which then permits an efficient offline-online computational decomposition. We first review the coefficient function...

Elastic wave propagation in parallel: the Huygens' approach.

Javier Sabadell (2002)

Revista Matemática Complutense

The use of parallel computers makes it feasible to simulate elastic waves throughout large heterogeneous structures, and new domain decomposition methods can be used to increase their efficiency and decrease the computing time spent in the simulation. In this paper we introduce a simple parallel algorithm for the propagation of elastic waves in complex heterogeneous media after a finite element discretization. This method performs more efficiently than classic domain decomposition techniques based...

Enabling numerical accuracy of Navier-Stokes-α through deconvolution and enhanced stability

Carolina C. Manica, Monika Neda, Maxim Olshanskii, Leo G. Rebholz (2011)

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

We propose and analyze a finite element method for approximating solutions to the Navier-Stokes-alpha model (NS-α) that utilizes approximate deconvolution and a modified grad-div stabilization and greatly improves accuracy in simulations. Standard finite element schemes for NS-α suffer from two major sources of error if their solutions are considered approximations to true fluid flow: (1) the consistency error arising from filtering; and (2) the dramatic effect of the large pressure error on the...

Energy estimates and numerical verification of the stabilized Domain Decomposition Finite Element/Finite Difference approach for time-dependent Maxwell’s system

Larisa Beilina (2013)

Open Mathematics

We rigorously derive energy estimates for the second order vector wave equation with gauge condition for the electric field with non-constant electric permittivity function. This equation is used in the stabilized Domain Decomposition Finite Element/Finite Difference approach for time-dependent Maxwell’s system. Our numerical experiments illustrate efficiency of the modified hybrid scheme in two and three space dimensions when the method is applied for generation of backscattering data in the reconstruction...

Equivalence between lowest-order mixed finite element and multi-point finite volume methods on simplicial meshes

Martin Vohralík (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider the lowest-order Raviart–Thomas mixed finite element method for second-order elliptic problems on simplicial meshes in two and three space dimensions. This method produces saddle-point problems for scalar and flux unknowns. We show how to easily and locally eliminate the flux unknowns, which implies the equivalence between this method and a particular multi-point finite volume scheme, without any approximate numerical integration. The matrix of the final linear system is sparse, positive...

Error analysis of high-order splitting methods for nonlinear evolutionary Schrödinger equations and application to the MCTDHF equations in electron dynamics

Othmar Koch, Christof Neuhauser, Mechthild Thalhammer (2013)

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

In this work, the error behaviour of high-order exponential operator splitting methods for the time integration of nonlinear evolutionary Schrödinger equations is investigated. The theoretical analysis utilises the framework of abstract evolution equations on Banach spaces and the formal calculus of Lie derivatives. The general approach is substantiated on the basis of a convergence result for exponential operator splitting methods of (nonstiff) order p applied to the multi-configuration time-dependent...
