this research work is devoted to the development of a mathematical model for the simulation of the flow of polymeric melts through the die region of extruders. a set of governing equations are solved using finite element method. standard galerkin technique is used in conjunction with the mixed scheme to solve the flow equation. due to the non-linear nature of global equations, the picard iterat...

We present a new mixed finite element method for solving the extended Fisher-Kolmogorov (EFK) equation. We first decompose the EFK equation as the two second-order equations, then deal with a second-order equation employing finite element method, and handle the other second-order equation using a new mixed finite element method. In the new mixed finite element method, the gradient ∇u belongs to...

In this paper, an H-Galerkin mixed finite element method is discussed for the coupled Burgers equations. The optimal error estimates of the semi-discrete and fully discrete schemes of the coupled Burgers equation are derived. Keywords—The coupled Burgers equation; H-Galerkin mixed finite element method; Backward Euler’s method; Optimal error estimates.

We propose a 3D conforming-nonconforming mixed finite element for solving symmetric stress Stokes equations. The low-order conforming finite elements are not inf-sup stable. The low-order nonconforming finite elements do not satisfy the Korn inequality. The proposed finite element space consists of two conforming components and one nonconforming component. We prove that the discrete inf-sup con...

This paper presents a comparative study on the newly introduced weak Galerkin finite element methods (WGFEMs) with the widely accepted discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (DGFEMs) and the classical mixed finite element methods (MFEMs) for solving second-order elliptic boundary value problems. We examine the differences, similarities, and connection among these methods in scheme formul...

H1-Galerkin mixed finite element methods are analysed for parabolic partial integrodifferential equations which arise in mathematical models of reactive flows in porous media and of materials with memory effects. Depending on the physical quantities of interest, two methods are discussed. Optimal error estimates are derived for both semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes for problems in one sp...
