A phase-field method applied to interface tracking for blood clot formation

Marek Čapek (2020)

Applications of Mathematics

The high shear rate thrombus formation was only recently recognized as another way of thrombosis. Models proposed in Weller (2008), (2010) take into account this type of thrombosis. This work uses the phase-field method to model these evolving interface problems. A loosely coupled iterative procedure is introduced to solve the coupled system of equations. Convergence behavior on two levels of refinement of perfusion chamber geometry and cylinder geometry is then studied. The perfusion chamber simulations...

A piecewise P2-nonconforming quadrilateral finite element

Imbunm Kim, Zhongxuan Luo, Zhaoliang Meng, Hyun NAM, Chunjae Park, Dongwoo Sheen (2013)

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

We introduce a piecewise P2-nonconforming quadrilateral finite element. First, we decompose a convex quadrilateral into the union of four triangles divided by its diagonals. Then the finite element space is defined by the set of all piecewise P2-polynomials that are quadratic in each triangle and continuously differentiable on the quadrilateral. The degrees of freedom (DOFs) are defined by the eight values at the two Gauss points on each of the four edges plus the value at the intersection of the...

A posteriori error analysis of Euler-Galerkin approximations to coupled elliptic-parabolic problems

Alexandre Ern, Sébastien Meunier (2009)

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

We analyze Euler-Galerkin approximations (conforming finite elements in space and implicit Euler in time) to coupled PDE systems in which one dependent variable, say u , is governed by an elliptic equation and the other, say p , by a parabolic-like equation. The underlying application is the poroelasticity system within the quasi-static assumption. Different polynomial orders are used for the u - and p -components to obtain optimally convergent a priori bounds for all the terms in the error energy norm....

A posteriori error analysis of the fully discretized time-dependent Stokes equations

Christine Bernardi, Rüdiger Verfürth (2004)

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

The time-dependent Stokes equations in two- or three-dimensional bounded domains are discretized by the backward Euler scheme in time and finite elements in space. The error of this discretization is bounded globally from above and locally from below by the sum of two types of computable error indicators, the first one being linked to the time discretization and the second one to the space discretization.

A priori error analysis of a fully-mixed finite element method for a two-dimensional fluid-solid interaction problem

Carolina Domínguez, Gabriel N. Gatica, Salim Meddahi, Ricardo Oyarzúa (2013)

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

We introduce and analyze a fully-mixed finite element method for a fluid-solid interaction problem in 2D. The model consists of an elastic body which is subject to a given incident wave that travels in the fluid surrounding it. Actually, the fluid is supposed to occupy an annular region, and hence a Robin boundary condition imitating the behavior of the scattered field at infinity is imposed on its exterior boundary, which is located far from the obstacle. The media are governed by the elastodynamic...

A Sobolev gradient method for treating the steady-state incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

Robert Renka (2013)

Open Mathematics

The velocity-vorticity-pressure formulation of the steady-state incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions is cast as a nonlinear least squares problem in which the functional is a weighted sum of squared residuals. A finite element discretization of the functional is minimized by a trust-region method in which the trustregion radius is defined by a Sobolev norm and the trust-region subproblems are solved by a dogleg method. Numerical test results show the method to be effective.

A splitting method using discontinuous Galerkin for the transient incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

Vivette Girault, Béatrice Rivière, Mary F. Wheeler (2005)

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

In this paper we solve the time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations by splitting the non-linearity and incompressibility, and using discontinuous or continuous finite element methods in space. We prove optimal error estimates for the velocity and suboptimal estimates for the pressure. We present some numerical experiments.

A stabilized finite element scheme for the Navier-Stokes equations on quadrilateral anisotropic meshes

Malte Braack (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

It is well known that the classical local projection method as well as residual-based stabilization techniques, as for instance streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG), are optimal on isotropic meshes. Here we extend the local projection stabilization for the Navier-Stokes system to anisotropic quadrilateral meshes in two spatial dimensions. We describe the new method and prove an a priori error estimate. This method leads on anisotropic meshes to qualitatively better convergence behavior...

A unified convergence analysis for local projection stabilisations applied to the Oseen problem

Gunar Matthies, Piotr Skrzypacz, Lutz Tobiska (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The discretisation of the Oseen problem by finite element methods may suffer in general from two shortcomings. First, the discrete inf-sup (Babuška-Brezzi) condition can be violated. Second, spurious oscillations occur due to the dominating convection. One way to overcome both difficulties is the use of local projection techniques. Studying the local projection method in an abstract setting, we show that the fulfilment of a local inf-sup condition between approximation and projection spaces...
