Locally chosen grad-div stabilization parameters for finite element discretizations of incompressible flow problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Grad-div stabilization has recently been found to be an important tool for finite element method simulations of incompressible flow problems, acting to improve mass conservation in solutions and reducing the effect of the pressure error on the velocity error. Typically, the associated stabilization parameter is chosen globally, but herein we consider local choices. We show that, both for an analytic test problem and for lift and drag calculations of flow around a cylinder, local choices of the grad-div stabilization parameter can provide more accurate solutions.

Efficient Augmented Lagrangian-type Preconditioning for the Oseen Problem using Grad-Div Stabilization
Efficient preconditioning for Oseen-type problems is an active research topic. We present a novel approach leveraging stabilization for inf-sup stable discretizations. The Grad-Div stabilization shares the algebraic properties with an augmented Lagrangian-type term. Both simplify the approximation of the Schur complement, especially in the convection dominated case. We exploit this for the cons...
متن کاملOn the Divergence Constraint in Mixed Finite Element Methods for Incompressible Flows
The divergence constraint of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations is revisited in the mixed finite element framework. While many stable and convergent mixed elements have been developed throughout the past four decades, most classical methods relax the divergence constraint and only enforce the condition discretely. As a result, these methods introduce a pressure-dependent consistency err...

متن کاملOn the parameter choice in grad-div stabilization for the Stokes equations
Standard error analysis for grad-div stabilization of inf-sup stable conforming pairs of finite element spaces predicts that the stabilization parameter should be optimally chosen to be O(1). This paper revisits this choice for the Stokes equations on the basis of minimizing the H(Ω) error of the velocity and the L(Ω) error of the pressure. It turns out, by applying a refined error analysis, th...
متن کاملEnabling numerical accuracy of the Navier-Stokes-α through deconvolution and enhanced stability
We propose and analyze a finite element method for approximating solutions to the NavierStokes-alpha model (NS-α) that utilizes approximate deconvolution and a modified grad-div stabilization and greatly improves accuracy in simulations. Standard finite element schemes for NS-α suffer from two major sources of error if their solutions are considered approximations to true fluid flow: 1) the con...
