Superconvergent Derivative Recovery for Lagrange Triangular Elements of Degree p on Unstructured Grids
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we develop a postprocessing derivative recovery scheme for the finite element solution uh on general unstructured but shape regular triangulations. In the case of continuous piecewise polynomials of degree p ≥ 1, by applying the global L2 projection (Qh) and a smoothing operator (Sh), the recovered p-th derivatives (S m h Qh∂ uh) superconverge to the exact derivatives (∂pu). Based on this technique we are able to derive a local error indicator depending only on the geometry of corresponding element and the (p+1)-st derivatives approximated by ∂Sm h Qh∂ uh. We provide several numerical examples illustrating the effectiveness of our procedures. We also observe that higher order elements are likely to require more conservative refinement strategies to create meshes corresponding to optimal orders of convergence.

Derivative Superconvergence of Equilateral Triangular Finite Elements
Derivative superconvergent points under locally equilateral triangular mesh for both the Poisson and Laplace equations are reported. Our results are conclusive. For the Poisson equation, symmetry points are only superconvergent points for cubic and higher order elements. However, for the Laplace equation, most of superconvergent points are not symmetry points, which are reported for the first t...

The weak Lagrange–Galerkin finite element method for the two-dimensional shallow water equations on adaptive unstructured grids is presented. The equations are written in conservation form and the domains are discretized using triangular elements. Lagrangian methods integrate the governing equations along the characteristic curves, thus being well suited for resolving the non-linearities introd...

متن کاملIsosurface Extraction from Hybrid Unstructured Grids Containing Pentahedral Elements
Grid-based computational simulations often use hybrid unstructured grids consisting of various types of elements. Most commonly used elements are tetrahedral, pentahedral (namely, square pyramids and right triangular prisms) and hexahedral elements. Extracting isosurfaces of scalar fields defined on such hybrid unstructured grids is often done using indirect methods, such as, (a) subdividing al...
