A Least-Squares Finite Element Approximation for the Compressible Stokes Equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article studies a least-squares finite element method for the numerical approximation of compressible Stokes equations. Optimal order error estimates for the velocity and pressure in theH are established. The choice of finite element spaces for the velocity and pressure is not subject to the inf-sup condition. c © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 16: 62–70, 2000

Least Squares Finite Element Methods for Viscous, Incompressible Flows
This paper is concerned with finite element methods of least-squares type for the approximate numerical solution of incompressible, viscous flow problems. Our main focus is on issues that are critical for the success of the finite element methods, such as decomposition of the Navier-Stokes equations into equivalent first-order systems, mathematical prerequisites for the optimality of the method...

متن کاملA locally conservative, discontinuous least-squares finite element method for the Stokes equations
Conventional least-squares finite element methods (LSFEMs) for incompressible flows conserve mass only approximately. For some problems, mass loss levels are large and result in unphysical solutions. In this paper we formulate a new, locally conservative LSFEM for the Stokes equations wherein a discrete velocity field is computed that is point-wise divergence free on each element. The central i...
متن کاملLeast-squares methods for the velocity-pressure-stress formulation of the Stokes equations
We formulate and study finite element methods for the solution of the incompressible Stokes equations based on the application of least-squares minimization principle to an equivalent first order velocity-pressure-stress system. Our least-squares functional involves the L*-norms of the residuals of each equation multiplied by a mesh-dependent weight. Each weight is determined according to the A...
