An adaptive unstructured grid generation scheme is introduced to use finite volume (FV) and finite element (FE) formulation to solve the heat equation with singular boundary conditions. Regular grids could not acheive accurate solution to this problem. The grid generation scheme uses an optimal time complexity frontal method for the automatic generation and delaunay triangulation of the grid po...

Abstract. The nonoscillatory central difference scheme of Nessyahu and Tadmor is a Godunovtype scheme for one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws in which the resolution of Riemann problems at the cell interfaces is bypassed thanks to the use of the staggered Lax–Friedrichs scheme. Piecewise linear MUSCL-type (monotonic upstream-centered scheme for conservation laws) cell interpolants and ...

An implementation of a coupled Navier-Stokes/Darcy model based on different Dune discretization modules is presented. The Darcy model is taken from DuMux, the Navier-Stokes model is implemented on top of Dune-PDELab, and the coupling is done with help of Dune-MultiDomain together with some project-specific auxiliary code. The Navier-Stokes model features one fluid phase, the Darcy model two flu...

The present paper deals with a robust, accurate and efficient limiting strategy on unstructured grids within the framework of finite volume method. The basic idea of the present limiting strategy is to control the distribution of both cell-centered and cell-vertex physical properties to mimic a multi-dimensional nature of flow physics, which can be formulated as so called the MLP condition. The...

We survey the new framework developed in [33, 34, 35], for designing genuinely multi-dimensional (GMD) finite volume schemes for systems of conservation laws in two space dimensions. This approach is based on reformulating edge centered numerical fluxes in terms of vertex centered potentials. Any consistent numerical flux can be used in defining the potentials. Suitable choices of the numerical...

This paper presents several test cases intended to be benchmarks for numerical schemes for single-phase fluid flow in fractured porous media. A number of solution strategies are compared, including a vertex and a cell-centered finite volume method, a non-conforming embedded discrete fracture model, a primal and a dual extended finite element formulation, and a mortar discrete fracture model. Th...

1. GENERAL FORM OF FINITE VOLUME METHODS We consider vertex-centered finite volume methods for solving diffusion type elliptic equation (1) −∇ · (K∇u) = f in Ω, with suitable Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. Here Ω ⊂ R is a polyhedral domain (d ≥ 2), the diffusion coefficient K(x) is a d× d symmetric matrix function that is uniformly positive definite on Ω with components in L∞(Ω), and...
