The mimetic finite difference method on polygonal meshes for diffusion-type problems
New mimetic discretizations of diffusion-type equations (for instance, equations modeling single phase Darcy flow in porous media) on unstructured polygonal meshes are derived. The first order convergence rate for the fluid velocity and the second-order convergence rate for the pressure on polygonal, locally refined and non-matching meshes are demonstrated with numerical experiments.
متن کاملThe mimetic finite difference discretization of diffusion problem on unstructured polyhedral meshes
We study the mimetic finite difference discretization of diffusion-type problems on unstructured polyhedral meshes. We demonstrate high accuracy of the approximate solutions for general diffusion tensors, the second-order convergence rate for the scalar unknown and the first order convergence rate for the vector unknown on smooth or slightly distorted meshes, on non-matching meshes, and even on...
متن کاملFlux reconstruction and solution post-processing in mimetic finite difference methods
We present a post-processing technique for the mimetic finite difference solution of diffusion problems in mixed form. Our postprocessing method yields a piecewise linear approximation of the scalar variable that is second-order accurate in the L-norm on quite general polyhedral meshes, including non-convex and non-matching elements. The post-processing is based on the reconstruction of vector ...
متن کاملConvergence of Mimetic Finite Difference Method for Diffusion Problems on Polyhedral Meshes
The main goal of this paper is to establish the convergence of mimetic discretizations of the firstorder system that describes linear stationary diffusion on general polyhedral meshes. The main idea of the mimetic finite difference (MFD) method is to mimic the underlying properties of the original continuum differential operators, e.g. conservation laws, solution symmetries, and the fundamental...
متن کاملThe Comparison of Finite Difference Methods for Radiation Diffusion Equations
In this paper, the difference between the Alternating Direction Method (ADM) and the Non-Splitting Method (NSM) is investigated, while both methods applied to the simulations for 2-D multimaterial radiation diffusion issues. Although the ADM have the same accuracy orders with the NSM on the uniform meshes, the accuracy of ADM will decrease on the distorted meshes or the boundary of domain. Nume...
