More pressure in the finite element discretization of the Stokes problem

چکیده
For the Stokes problem in a twoor three-dimensional bounded domain, we propose a new mixed finite element discretization which relies on a nonconforming approximation of the velocity and a more accurate approximation of the pressure. We prove that the velocity and pressure discrete spaces are compatible, in the sensé that they satisfy an inf-sup condition of Babuska and Brezzi type, and we dérive some error estimâtes. Résumé. Pour le problème de Stokes dans un ouvert borné biou tridimensionnel, on propose une discrétisation par un nouvel élément fini mixte, qui utilise une approximation non conforme de la vitesse et une approximation plus riche de la pression. On prouve que les espaces discrets de vitesse et de pression sont compatibles, au sens qu'ils vérifient une condition inf-sup de Babuska et Brezzi, et on en déduit des majorations d'erreur.

متن کاملFinite Element Discretization of the Stokes and Navier-Stokes Equations with Boundary Conditions on the Pressure
We consider the Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations with boundary conditions of Dirichlet type on the velocity on one part of the boundary and involving the pressure on the rest of the boundary. We write the variational formulations of such problems. Next we propose a finite element discretization of them and perform the a priori and a posteriori analysis of the discrete problem. Some numerical ...

The aim of this work is to investigate the variational discretization and mixed finite element methods for optimal control problem governed by semi linear parabolic equations with integral constraint.

متن کامل2 00 7 a Convergent Finite Element - Finite Volume Scheme for the Compressible Stokes Problem Part I – the Isothermal Case
In this paper, we propose a discretization for the compressible Stokes problem with a linear equation of state ρ = p, based on Crouzeix-Raviart elements. The approximation of the momentum balance is obtained by usual finite element techniques. Since the pressure is piecewise constant, the discrete mass balance takes the form of a finite volume scheme, in which we introduce an upwinding of the d...
متن کاملNumerical Approximation of the General Compressible Stokes Problem
In this paper, we propose a discretization for the compressible Stokes problem with an equation of state of the form p = φ(ρ) (where p stands for the pressure, ρ for the density and φ is a superlinear nondecreasing function from R to R). This scheme is based on Crouzeix-Raviart approximation spaces. The discretization of the momentum balance is obtained by the usual finite element technique. Th...
