Highly anisotropic nonlinear temperature balance equation and its numerical solution using asymptotic-preserving schemes of second order in time

Alexei Lozinski, Jacek Narski, Claudia Negulescu (2014)

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

This paper deals with the numerical study of a nonlinear, strongly anisotropic heat equation. The use of standard schemes in this situation leads to poor results, due to the high anisotropy. An Asymptotic-Preserving method is introduced in this paper, which is second-order accurate in both, temporal and spacial variables. The discretization in time is done using an L-stable Runge−Kutta scheme. The convergence of the method is shown to be independent of the anisotropy parameter , and this for fixed...

How to recover the gradient of linear elements on nonuniform triangulations

Ivan Hlaváček, Michal Křížek, Vladislav Pištora (1996)

Applications of Mathematics

We propose and examine a simple averaging formula for the gradient of linear finite elements in R d whose interpolation order in the L q -norm is 𝒪 ( h 2 ) for d < 2 q and nonuniform triangulations. For elliptic problems in R 2 we derive an interior superconvergence for the averaged gradient over quasiuniform triangulations. A numerical example is presented.

hp-FEM for three-dimensional elastic plates

Monique Dauge, Christoph Schwab (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this work, we analyze hierarchic hp-finite element discretizations of the full, three-dimensional plate problem. Based on two-scale asymptotic expansion of the three-dimensional solution, we give specific mesh design principles for the hp-FEM which allow to resolve the three-dimensional boundary layer profiles at robust, exponential rate. We prove that, as the plate half-thickness ε tends to zero, the hp-discretization is consistent with the three-dimensional solution to any power of ε in...

HP-finite element approximations on non-matching grids for partial differential equations with non-negative characteristic form

Andrea Toselli (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We propose and analyze a domain decomposition method on non-matching grids for partial differential equations with non-negative characteristic form. No weak or strong continuity of the finite element functions, their normal derivatives, or linear combinations of the two is imposed across the boundaries of the subdomains. Instead, we employ suitable bilinear forms defined on the common interfaces, typical of discontinuous Galerkin approximations. We prove an error bound which is optimal with respect...

Hybrid model for the Coupling of an Asymptotic Preserving scheme with the Asymptotic Limit model: The One Dimensional Case⋆

Pierre Degond, Fabrice Deluzet, Dario Maldarella, Jacek Narski, Claudia Negulescu, Martin Parisot (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

In this paper a strategy is investigated for the spatial coupling of an asymptotic preserving scheme with the asymptotic limit model, associated to a singularly perturbed, highly anisotropic, elliptic problem. This coupling strategy appears to be very advantageous as compared with the numerical discretization of the initial singular perturbation model or the purely asymptotic preserving scheme introduced in previous works [3, 5]. The model problem addressed...

Hybrid parallelization of an adaptive finite element code

Axel Voigt, Thomas Witkowski (2010)

Kybernetika

We present a hybrid OpenMP/MPI parallelization of the finite element method that is suitable to make use of modern high performance computers. These are usually built from a large bulk of multi-core systems connected by a fast network. Our parallelization method is based firstly on domain decomposition to divide the large problem into small chunks. Each of them is then solved on a multi-core system using parallel assembling, solution and error estimation. To make domain decomposition for both, the...

Hyperbolic wavelet discretization of the two-electron Schrödinger equation in an explicitly correlated formulation

Markus Bachmayr (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In the framework of an explicitly correlated formulation of the electronic Schrödinger equation known as the transcorrelated method, this work addresses some fundamental issues concerning the feasibility of eigenfunction approximation by hyperbolic wavelet bases. Focusing on the two-electron case, the integrability of mixed weak derivatives of eigenfunctions of the modified problem and the improvement compared to the standard formulation are discussed....

Identification of critical curves. II. Discretization and numerical realization

Jaroslav Haslinger, Václav Horák, Pekka Neittaanmäki, Kimmo Salmenjoki (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider the finite element approximation of the identification problem, where one wishes to identify a curve along which a given solution of the boundary value problem possesses some specific property. We prove the convergence of FE-approximation and give some results of numerical tests.

Image segmentation with a finite element method

Blaise Bourdin (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The Mumford-Shah functional for image segmentation is an original approach of the image segmentation problem, based on a minimal energy criterion. Its minimization can be seen as a free discontinuity problem and is based on Γ-convergence and bounded variation functions theories. Some new regularization results, make possible to imagine a finite element resolution method. In a first time, the Mumford-Shah functional is introduced and some existing results are quoted. Then, a discrete formulation...

Impact of the variations of the mixing length in a first order turbulent closure system

Françoise Brossier, Roger Lewandowski (2002)

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

This paper is devoted to the study of a turbulent circulation model. Equations are derived from the “Navier-Stokes turbulent kinetic energy” system. Some simplifications are performed but attention is focused on non linearities linked to turbulent eddy viscosity ν t . The mixing length acts as a parameter which controls the turbulent part in ν t . The main theoretical results that we have obtained concern the uniqueness of the solution for bounded eddy viscosities and small values of and its asymptotic...
