A cell-centred finite-volume approximation for anisotropic diffusion operators on unstructured meshes in any space dimension
نویسنده
چکیده
Finite-volume methods for problems involving second-order operators with full diffusion matrix can be used thanks to the definition of a discrete gradient for piecewise constant functions on unstructured meshes satisfying an orthogonality condition. This discrete gradient is shown to satisfy a strong convergence property for the interpolation of regular functions, and a weak one for functions bounded in a discrete H1-norm. To highlight the importance of both properties, the convergence of the finite-volume scheme for a homogeneous Dirichlet problem with full diffusion matrix is proven, and an error estimate is provided. Numerical tests show the actual accuracy of the method.

متن کاملBenchmark on Discretization Schemes for Anisotropic Diffusion Problems on General Grids
We present here a number of test cases and meshes which were designed to form a benchmark for finite volume schemes and give a summary of some of the results which were presented by the participants to this benchmark. We address a two-dimensional anisotropic diffusion problem, which is discretized on general, possibly non-conforming meshes. In most cases, the diffusion tensor is taken to be ani...
متن کاملAnalysis of cell centred finite volume methods for incompressible fluid flows
The aim of this review paper is to give some insight on some recent developments on the analysis of cell centred finite volume schemes for incompressible fluid flows. We first recall the cell centred finite volume scheme for convection diffusion equations, and give the mathematical tools which are needed for the convergence study. We then turn to the study of a recent scheme which was developed...
متن کاملA finite volume method on general meshes for a degenerate parabolic convection-reaction-diffusion equation
We propose a finite volume method on general meshes for the discretization of a degenerate parabolic convection-reaction-diffusion equation. Equations of this type arise in many contexts, such as the modeling of contaminant transport in porous media. We discretize the diffusion term, which can be anisotropic and heterogeneous, via a hybrid finite volume scheme. We construct a partially upwind s...
