On Richardson Extrapolation for Finite Difference Methods on Regular Grids.
Different choices of the averaging operator within the BDDC method are compared on a series of 2D experiments. Subdomains with irregular interface and with jumps in material coefficients are included into the study. Two new approaches are studied along three standard choices. No approach is shown to be universally superior to others, and the resulting recommendation is that an actual method should be chosen based on properties of the problem.
We consider triangulations formed by triangular elements. For the standard linear interpolation operator we prove the interpolation order to be for provided the corresponding family of triangulations is only semiregular. In such a case the well-known Zlámal’s condition upon the minimum angle need not be satisfied.
In this paper we present theoretical, computational, and practical aspects concerning 3-dimensional shape optimization governed by linear magnetostatics. The state solution is approximated by the finite element method using Nédélec elements on tetrahedra. Concerning optimization, the shape controls the interface between the air and the ferromagnetic parts while the whole domain is fixed. We prove the existence of an optimal shape. Then we state a finite element approximation to the optimization...
In this paper, we propose implicit and semi-implicit in time finite volume schemes for the barotropic Euler equations (hence, as a particular case, for the shallow water equations) and for the full Euler equations, based on staggered discretizations. For structured meshes, we use the MAC finite volume scheme, and, for general mixed quadrangular/hexahedral and simplicial meshes, we use the discrete unknowns of the Rannacher−Turek or Crouzeix−Raviart finite elements. We first show that a solution...
It is well known that finite element spaces used for approximating the velocity and the pressure in an incompressible flow problem have to be stable in the sense of the inf-sup condition of Babuška and Brezzi if a stabilization of the incompressibility constraint is not applied. In this paper we consider a recently introduced class of triangular nonconforming finite elements of th order accuracy in the energy norm called elements. For we show that the stability condition holds if the velocity...
We are interested in the numerical solution of a two-dimensional fluid-structure interaction problem. A special attention is paid to the choice of physically relevant inlet boundary conditions for the case of channel closing. Three types of the inlet boundary conditions are considered. Beside the classical Dirichlet and the do-nothing boundary conditions also a generalized boundary condition motivated by the penalization prescription of the Dirichlet boundary condition is applied. The fluid flow...
The maximum angle condition of J. L. Synge was originally introduced in interpolation theory and further used in finite element analysis and applications for triangular and later also for tetrahedral finite element meshes. In this paper we present some of its generalizations to higher-dimensional simplicial elements. In particular, we prove optimal interpolation properties of linear simplicial elements in that degenerate in some way.
