A new approach for analyzing cracked problems in 2D orthotropic materials using the well-known element free Galerkin method and orthotropic enrichment functions is proposed. The element free Galerkin method is a meshfree method which enables discontinuous problems to be modeled efficiently. In this study, element free Galerkin is extrinsically enriched by the recently developed crack-tip orthot...

In this paper, the Ritz-Galerkin method in Bernstein polynomial basis is applied for solving the nonlinear problem of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of third grade fluid between the two plates. The properties of the Bernstein  polynomials together with the Ritz-Galerkin method are used to reduce the solution of the MHD Couette flow of non-Newtonian fluid in a porous medium to the solution o...

A linearized backward Euler Galerkin-mixed finite element method is investigated for the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau (TDGL) equations under the Lorentz gauge. By introducing the induced magnetic field σ = curlA as a new variable, the Galerkin-mixed FE scheme offers many advantages over conventional Lagrange type Galerkin FEMs. An optimal error estimate for the linearized Galerkin-mixed FE sc...

A new Petrov-Galerkin approach for dealing with sharp or abrupt field changes in Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) reduced order modelling (ROM) is outlined in this paper. This method presents a natural and easy way to introduce a diffusion term into ROM without tuning/optimising and provides appropriate modeling and stablisation for the numerical solution of high order nonlinear PDEs. The approach i...

We derive an adaptive solver for random elliptic boundary value problems, using techniques from adaptive wavelet methods. Substituting wavelets by polynomials of the random parameters leads to a modular solver for the parameter dependence, which combines with any discretization on the spatial domain. We show optimality properties of this solver, and present numerical computations. Introduction ...

In this paper, we propose a new discontinuous Galerkin finite element method to solve the Hamilton–Jacobi equations. Unlike the discontinuous Galerkin method of [C. Hu, C.-W. Shu, A discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for Hamilton–Jacobi equations, SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing 21 (1999) 666–690.] which applies the discontinuous Galerkin framework on the conservation law system ...

In the earlier paper [6] a Galerkin method was proposed and analyzed for the numerical solution of a Dirichlet problem for a semi-linear elliptic boundary value problem of the form U = F ( ; U). This was converted to a problem on a standard domain and then converted to an equivalent integral equation. Galerkin’s method was used to solve the integral equation, with the eigenfunctions of the Lapl...

In this work we investigate the advantages of multiscale methods in Petrov-Galerkin (PG) formulation in a general framework. The framework is subject to a localized orthogonal decomposition of a high dimensional solution space into a low dimensional multiscale space and a high dimensional remainder space with negligible fine scale information. As a model problem we consider the Poisson problem....

A class of reconstructed discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods is presented to solve compressible flow problems on arbitrary grids. The idea is to combine the efficiency of the reconstruction methods in finite volume methods and the accuracy of the DG methods to obtain a better numerical algorithm in computational fluid dynamics. The beauty of the resulting reconstructed discontinuous Galerkin (R...

A combined method consisting of the mixed finite element method for flow and the discontinuous Galerkin method for transport is introduced for the coupled system of miscible displacement problem. A “cut-off” operatorM is introduced in the discontinuous Galerkin formular in order to make the combined scheme converge. Optimal error estimates in L(H) for concentration and in L(L) for velocity are ...
