A nonconforming finite element method for the Stokes equations using the Crouzeix-Raviart element for the velocity and the standard linear element for the pressure

چکیده
We present a finite element method for Stokes equations using the Crouzeix-Raviart element for the velocity and the continuous linear element for the pressure. We show that the inf-sup condition is satisfied for this pair. Two numerical experiments are presented to support the theoretical results.

A Hybridized Crouziex-Raviart Nonconforming Finite Element and Discontinuous Galerkin Method for a Two-Phase Flow in the Porous Media
In this study, we present a numerical solution for the two-phase incompressible flow in the porous media under isothermal condition using a hybrid of the linear lower-order nonconforming finite element and the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. This hybridization is developed for the first time in the two-phase modeling and considered as the main novelty of this research.The p...
متن کاملOn Nonconforming Linear–constant Elements for Some Variants of the Stokes Equations
The use of nonconforming piecewise linear finite elements for the velocity field and piecewise constant finite elements for the pressure fields, as suggested by Crouzeix and Raviart, gives a simple stable, optimal order approximation to the Stokes equations. As is well-known, however, this method is not stable for the very similar system describing the deformation of an incompressible linearly ...
متن کاملComputational Survey on A Posteriori Error Estimators for the Crouzeix-Raviart Nonconforming Finite Element Method for the Stokes Problem
This survey compares different strategies for guaranteed error control for the lowest-order nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart finite element method for the Stokes equations. The upper error bound involves the minimal distance of the computed piecewise gradient DNC uCR to the gradients of Sobolev functions with exact boundary conditions. Several improved suggestions for the cheap computation of suc...
متن کاملGuaranteed Velocity Error Control for the Pseudostress Approximation of the Stokes Equations
The pseudostress approximation of the Stokes equations rewrites the stationary Stokes equations with pure (but possibly inhomogeneous) Dirichlet boundary conditions as another (equivalent) mixed scheme based on a stress in H(div) and the velocity in L2. Any standard mixed finite element function space can be utilized for this mixed formulation, e.g., the Raviart-Thomas discretization which is r...

We examine the influence of roofs’ shapes on the boundary layer of a simplified urban canopy by computing non-stationary Navier-Stokes flow over a periodic pattern. The solution is obtained by means of finite element method (FEM). We use non-conforming Crouzeix-Raviart elements for velocity and piecewise constant elements for pressure. The resulting linear system is solved by the multigrid meth...
