A stabilized mixed finite element method for Darcy flow
نویسنده
چکیده
We develop new stabilized mixed finite element methods for Darcy flow. Stability and an a priori error estimate in the ‘‘stability norm’’ are established. A wide variety of convergent finite elements present themselves, unlike the classical Galerkin formulation which requires highly specialized elements. An interesting feature of the formulation is that there are no mesh-dependent parameters. Numerical tests confirm the theoretical results. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Stabilized Mixed Finite Element Method for Transient Darcy Flow
Darcy flow is a steady-state model for laminar flow of a fluid through a porous medium. The present work proposes an extended model of laminar Darcy flow by introducing dynamic pressure and velocity to the classical formulation. The solution of the proposed time-space model is attained by discretizing the problem with a stabilized mixed Galerkin method in space and a forward Euler method in tim...
متن کاملA stabilized mixed finite element method for Darcy flow based on a multiscale decomposition of the solution
Recently Masud and Hughes proposed a stabilized mixed finite element formulation for Darcy flow. An interesting feature of this formulation is that there are no mesh-dependent parameters. In the present work we provide a derivation of this formulation based on a multiscale decomposition of the solution. We also extend the work of Masud and Hughes to three-dimensional problems and show the conve...
متن کاملA stabilized mixed finite element method for Darcy–Stokes flow
This paper presents a new stabilized finite element method for the Darcy–Stokes equations also known as the Brinkman model of lubrication theory. These equations also govern the flow of incompressible viscous fluids through permeable media. The proposed method arises from a decomposition of the velocity field into coarse/resolved scales and fine/unresolved scales. Modelling of the unresolved sc...
متن کاملA posteriori error analysis of an augmented mixed finite element method for Darcy flow
We develop an a posteriori error analysis of residual type of a stabilized mixed finite element method for Darcy flow. The stabilized formulation is obtained by adding to the standard dualmixed approach suitable residual type terms arising from Darcy’s law and the mass conservation equation. We derive sufficient conditions on the stabilization parameters that guarantee that the augmented variat...
متن کاملA computational study of stabilized, low-order C finite element approximations of Darcy equations
We consider finite element methods for the Darcy equations that are designed to work with standard, low order C finite element spaces. Such spaces remain a popular choice in the engineering practice because they offer the convenience of simple and uniform data structures and reasonable accuracy. A consistently stabilized method [20] and a least-squares formulation [18] are compared with two new...
