Discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretization for steady Stokes flows with threshold slip boundary condition

Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Discretization for Steady Stokes Flows with Threshold Slip Boundary Condition

This work is concerned with the discontinuous Galerkin finite approximations for the steady Stokes equations driven by slip boundary condition of “friction” type. Assuming that the flow region is a bounded, convex domain with a regular boundary, we formulate the problem and its discontinuous Galerkin approximations as mixed variational inequalities of the second kind with primitive variables. T...

Finite Element Analysis for Stokes and Navier-stokes Equations Driven by Threshold Slip Boundary Conditions

This paper is devoted to the study of finite element approximations of variational inequalities with a special nonlinearity coming from boundary conditions. After re-writing the problems in the form of variational inequalities, a fixed point strategy is used to show existence of solutions. Next we prove that the finite element approximations for the Stokes and Navier Stokes equations converge r...

Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method for Inviscid Compressible Flows

This paper presents the development of an algorithm based on the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) for the Euler equations of gas dynamics. The DGFEM is a mixture of a finite volume and finite element method. In the DGFEM the unknowns in each element are locally expanded in a polynomial series and thus the information about the flow state at the element faces can be directly ...

Discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for shallow two-phase flows

We present a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for two depth-averaged two-phase flow models. One of these models contains nonconservative products for which we developed a discontinuous Galerkin finite element formulation in Rhebergen et al. (2008) J. Comput. Phys. 227, 1887-1922. The other model is a new depth-averaged two-phase flow model we introduce for shallow two-phase flows th...
