Locally conservative, stabilized finite element methods for variably saturated flow
Standard Galerkin finite element methods for variably saturated groundwater flow have several deficiencies. For instance, local oscillations can appear around sharp infiltration fronts without the use of mass-lumping, and velocity fields obtained from differentiation of pressure fields are discontinuous at element boundaries. Here, we consider conforming finite element discretizations based on ...
متن کاملA physically based , two - dimensional , finite - difference algorithm for modeling variably saturated flow
A computationally simple, numerical algorithm capable of solving a wide variety of twodimensional, variably saturated flow problems is developed. Recent advances in modeling variably saturated flow are incorporated into the algorithm. A physically based form of the general, variably saturated flow equation is solved using finite differences (centered in space, fully implicit in time) employing ...
متن کاملA Finite-element Collocation Method for Variably Saturated Flow in Two Space Dimensions
1. INTRODUCTION This paper presents a finite-element collocation scheme for simulating variably saturated flows in two space dimensions. The scheme is an extension of a mass conserving one-dimensional formulation presented earlier [Allen and Murphy, 1985). The present exposition gives a complete description of work reported more briefly in the work by Murphy and Allen [1986]. Among the key feat...
متن کاملComparison of finite difference and finite element solutions to the variably saturated flow equation
Numerical solutions to the equation governing variably saturated flow are usually obtained using either the finite difference (FD) method or the finite element (FE) method. A detailed comparison of these methods shows that the main difference between them is in how the numerical schemes spatially average the variation of material properties. Further differences are also observed in the way that...
متن کاملFinite Element Modeling of Nonisothermal Polymer Flows
This paper describes a finite element formulation designed to simulate polymer melt flows in which both conductive and convective heat transfer may be important, and illustrates the numerical model by means of computer experiments using extruder drag flow and entry flow as trial problems. Fluid incompressibility is enforced by a penalty treatment of the element pressures, and the thermal convec...
