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...

Convergence of a finite element discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations in vorticity and stream function formulation

Mohamed Amara, Christine Bernardi (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The standard discretization of the Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations in vorticity and stream function formulation by affine finite elements is known for its bad convergence. We present here a modified discretization, we prove that the convergence is improved and we establish a priori error estimates.

Coupling Darcy and Stokes equations for porous media with cracks

Christine Bernardi, Frédéric Hecht, Olivier Pironneau (2005)

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

In order to handle the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid in a porous medium with cracks, the thickness of which cannot be neglected, we consider a model which couples the Darcy equations in the medium with the Stokes equations in the cracks by a new boundary condition at the interface, namely the continuity of the pressure. We prove that this model admits a unique solution and propose a mixed formulation of it. Relying on this formulation, we describe a finite element discretization and derive...

Coupling the Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations with two scalar nonlinear parabolic equations

Macarena Gómez Mármol, Francisco Ortegón Gallego (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This work deals with a system of nonlinear parabolic equations arising in turbulence modelling. The unknowns are the N components of the velocity field u coupled with two scalar quantities θ and φ. The system presents nonlinear turbulent viscosity A ( θ , ϕ ) and nonlinear source terms of the form θ 2 | u | 2 and θ ϕ | u | 2 lying in L1. Some existence results are shown in this paper, including L -estimates and positivity for both θ and φ.
