Inverted finite elements : a new method for solving elliptic problems in unbounded domains

Tahar Zamène Boulmezaoud (2005)

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

In this paper, we propose a new numerical method for solving elliptic equations in unbounded regions of n . The method is based on the mapping of a part of the domain into a bounded region. An appropriate family of weighted spaces is used for describing the growth or the decay of functions at large distances. After exposing the main ideas of the method, we analyse carefully its convergence. Some 3D computational results are displayed to demonstrate its efficiency and its high performance.

Isogeometric analysis for fluid flow problems

Bastl, Bohumír, Brandner, Marek, Egermaier, Jiří, Michálková, Kristýna, Turnerová, Eva (2015)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

The article is devoted to the simulation of viscous incompressible fluid flow based on solving the Navier-Stokes equations. As a numerical model we chose isogeometrical approach. Primary goal of using isogemetric analysis is to be always geometrically exact, independently of the discretization, and to avoid a time-consuming generation of meshes of computational domains. For higher Reynolds numbers, we use stabilization techniques SUPG and PSPG. All methods mentioned in the paper are demonstrated...

Isoparametric mixed finite element approximation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of 4th order eigenvalue problems with variable coefficients

Pulin Kumar Bhattacharyya, Neela Nataraj (2002)

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

Estimates for the combined effect of boundary approximation and numerical integration on the approximation of (simple) eigenvalues and eigenvectors of 4th order eigenvalue problems with variable/constant coefficients in convex domains with curved boundary by an isoparametric mixed finite element method, which, in the particular case of bending problems of aniso-/ortho-/isotropic plates with variable/constant thickness, gives a simultaneous approximation to bending moment tensor field Ψ = ( ψ i j ) 1 i , j 2 and displacement...

Iteratively solving a kind of Signorini transmission problem in a unbounded domain

Qiya Hu, Dehao Yu (2005)

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

In this paper, we are concerned with a kind of Signorini transmission problem in a unbounded domain. A variational inequality is derived when discretizing this problem by coupled FEM-BEM. To solve such variational inequality, an iterative method, which can be viewed as a variant of the D-N alternative method, will be introduced. In the iterative method, the finite element part and the boundary element part can be solved independently. It will be shown that the convergence speed of this iteration...

L 2 -error estimates for Dirichlet and Neumann problems on anisotropic finite element meshes

Thomas Apel, Dieter Sirch (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

An L 2 -estimate of the finite element error is proved for a Dirichlet and a Neumann boundary value problem on a three-dimensional, prismatic and non-convex domain that is discretized by an anisotropic tetrahedral mesh. To this end, an approximation error estimate for an interpolation operator that is preserving the Dirichlet boundary conditions is given. The challenge for the Neumann problem is the proof of a local interpolation error estimate for functions from a weighted Sobolev space.
