Navier-Stokes/darcy coupling: modeling, analysis, and numerical approximation

Numerical analysis of the Navier-Stokes/Darcy coupling

We consider a differential system based on the coupling of the Navier-Stokes and Darcy equations for modeling the interaction between surface and porousmedia flows. We formulate the problem as an interface equation, we analyze the associated (nonlinear) Steklov-Poincaré operators, and we prove its wellposedness. We propose and analyze iterative methods to solve a conforming finite element appro...

Stiffeners Mechanical Effect Analysis by Numerical Coupling

Given any structure, we seek to find the solution of mechanical problem as precisely and efficiently as possible. Within this condition, the BEM is robust and promising development, standing out in the analysis of cases with occurrence of large stress gradients, as in problems of fracture mechanics. Moreover, in BEM the modeling of infinite means is performed naturally, without the use of appro...

Numerical Analysis: Approximation of Functions

Task: A polynomial can be factorized to the product of linear polynomials, but only for orders up to 4. Numerical solution is possible, but it is imprecise and division leaves a remainder. Also this is a subject of numerical anaysis. Task: Linear algebra: “A system of linear equations Ax = b has a unique solution x = A−1b if and only if det A 6= 0.” Programming: “Real numbers cannot be tested f...

Convergence towards weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes for a finite element approximation with numerical subgrid scale modeling

Residual-based stabilized finite element techniques for the NavierStokes equations lead to numerical discretizations that provide convection stabilization as well as pressure stability without the need to satisfy an inf-sup condition. They can be motivated by using a variational multiscale framework, based on the decomposition of the fluid velocity into a resolvable finite element component plu...
