Approximation of variable density incompressible 1ows by means of 3nite elements and 3nite volumes
This work describes a projection method for approximating incompressible viscous 1ows of nonuniform density. It is shown that unconditional stability in time is possible provided two projections are performed per time step. A 3nite element implementation and a 3nite volume one are described and compared. The performance of the two methods are tested on a Rayleigh–Taylor instability. We show tha...
متن کاملAn hybrid finite volume-finite element method for variable density incompressible flows
This paper is devoted to the numerical simulation of variable density incompressible flows, modeled by the Navier-Stokes system. We introduce an hybrid scheme which combines a Finite Volume approach for treating the mass conservation equation and a Finite Element method to deal with the momentum equation and the divergence free constraint. The breakthrough relies on the definition of a suitable...
متن کاملApproximation by quadrilateral finite elements
We consider the approximation properties of finite element spaces on quadrilateral meshes. The finite element spaces are constructed starting with a given finite dimensional space of functions on a square reference element, which is then transformed to a space of functions on each convex quadrilateral element via a bilinear isomorphism of the square onto the element. It is known that for affine...
متن کاملEdge Finite Elements of Variable
I review the main ideas behind the construction of edge elements of variable order 16, 39, 18], and discuss the possibility of extending the construction to Nedelec's elements of the rst kind 31]. A motivation leading to the deenition of hp-interpolation operators is highlighted, and their impact on the hp-discretizations of Maxwell's equations discussed.
متن کاملGauge finite element method for incompressible flows
A finite element method for computing viscous incompressible flows based on the gauge formulation introduced in [Weinan E, Liu J-G. Gauge method for viscous incompressible flows. Journal of Computational Physics (submitted)] is presented. This formulation replaces the pressure by a gauge variable. This new gauge variable is a numerical tool and differs from the standard gauge variable that aris...
