Concepts—An object-oriented software package for partial differential equations

Philipp Frauenfelder, Christian Lage (2002)

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

Object oriented design has proven itself as a powerful tool in the field of scientific computing. Several software packages, libraries and toolkits exist, in particular in the FEM arena that follow this design methodology providing extensible, reusable, and flexible software while staying competitive to traditionally designed point tools in terms of efficiency. However, the common approach to identify classes is to turn data structures and algorithms of traditional implementations into classes such...

Contact between elastic bodies. II. Finite element analysis

Jaroslav Haslinger, Ivan Hlaváček (1981)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper deals with the approximation of contact problems of two elastic bodies by finite element method. Using piecewise linear finite elements, some error estimates are derived, assuming that the exact solution is sufficiently smooth. If the solution is not regular, the convergence itself is proven. This analysis is given for two types of contact problems: with a bounded contact zone and with enlarging contact zone.

Contact between elastic bodies. III. Dual finite element analysis

Jaroslav Haslinger, Ivan Hlaváček (1981)

Aplikace matematiky

The problem of a unilateral contact between elastic bodies with an apriori bounded contact zone is formulated in terms of stresses via the principle of complementary energy. Approximations are defined by means of self-equilibriated triangular block-elements and an L 2 -error estimate is proven provided the exact solution is regular enough.

Contact problem of two elastic bodies. II

Vladimír Janovský, Petr Procházka (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

The goal of the paper is the study of the contact problem of two elastic bodies which is applicable to the solution of displacements and stresses of the earth continuum and the tunnel wall. In this first part the variational formulation of the continuous and discrete model is stated. The second part covers the proof of convergence of finite element method to the solution of continuous problem while in the third part some practical applications are illustrated.

Continuous-time finite element analysis of multiphase flow in groundwater hydrology

Zhangxin Chen, Magne Espedal, Richard E. Ewing (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

A nonlinear differential system for describing an air-water system in groundwater hydrology is given. The system is written in a fractional flow formulation, i.e., in terms of a saturation and a global pressure. A continuous-time version of the finite element method is developed and analyzed for the approximation of the saturation and pressure. The saturation equation is treated by a Galerkin finite element method, while the pressure equation is treated by a mixed finite element method. The analysis...

Convergence analysis for an exponentially fitted Finite Volume Method

Reiner Vanselow (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The paper is devoted to the convergence analysis of a well-known cell-centered Finite Volume Method (FVM) for a convection-diffusion problem in ℝ 2 . This FVM is based on Voronoi boxes and exponential fitting. To prove the convergence of the FVM, we use a new nonconforming Petrov-Galerkin Finite Element Method (FEM) for which the system of linear equations coincides completely with that of the FVM. Thus, by proving convergence properties of the FEM we obtain similar ones for the FVM. For the error...

Convergence analysis of a locally stabilized collocated finite volume scheme for incompressible flows

Robert Eymard, Raphaèle Herbin, Jean-Claude Latché, Bruno Piar (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present and analyse in this paper a novel cell-centered collocated finite volume scheme for incompressible flows. Its definition involves a partition of the set of control volumes; each element of this partition is called a cluster and consists in a few neighbouring control volumes. Under a simple geometrical assumption for the clusters, we obtain that the pair of discrete spaces associating the classical cell-centered approximation for the velocities and cluster-wide constant pressures is inf-sup...
