Directed animals and gas models revisited.
The paper is devoted to the analysis of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) applied to the space semidiscretization of a nonlinear nonstationary convection-diffusion problem with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. General nonconforming meshes are used and the NIPG, IIPG and SIPG versions of the discretization of diffusion terms are considered. The main attention is paid to the impact of the Neumann boundary condition prescribed on a part of the boundary on the truncation...
We present a discontinuous Galerkin scheme for the numerical approximation of the one-dimensional periodic Vlasov-Poisson equation. The scheme is based on a Galerkin-characteristics method in which the distribution function is projected onto a space of discontinuous functions. We present comparisons with a semi-Lagrangian method to emphasize the good behavior of this scheme when applied to Vlasov-Poisson test cases.
This article presents some results of numerical tests of solving the two-dimensional non-linear unsteady viscous Burgers equation. We have compared the known convergence and parallel performance properties of the additive Schwarz domain decomposition method with or without a coarse grid for the model Poisson problem with those obtained by experiments for the Burgers problem.
This is the second part of the paper for a Non-Newtonian flow. Dual combined Finite Element Methods are used to investigate the little parameter-dependent problem arising in a nonliner three field version of the Stokes system for incompressible fluids, where the viscosity obeys a general law including the Carreau's law and the Power law. Certain parameter-independent error bounds are obtained which solved the problem proposed by Baranger in [4] in a unifying way. We also give some stable finite...
A mixed finite element method for the Navier–Stokes equations is introduced in which the stress is a primary variable. The variational formulation retains the mathematical structure of the Navier–Stokes equations and the classical theory extends naturally to this setting. Finite element spaces satisfying the associated inf–sup conditions are developed.
This paper is devoted to the study of the homogenization of a porous medium, composed of different materials arranged in a periodic structure. This provides the profile of the saturation function for the limit material.
We propose and analyze a finite element method for approximating solutions to the Navier-Stokes-alpha model (NS-α) that utilizes approximate deconvolution and a modified grad-div stabilization and greatly improves accuracy in simulations. Standard finite element schemes for NS-α suffer from two major sources of error if their solutions are considered approximations to true fluid flow: (1) the consistency error arising from filtering; and (2) the dramatic effect of the large pressure error on the...
