This article introduces a weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method for linear elasticity interface problems on general polygonal/polyhedral partitions. The discrete divergence and gradient operators are discretized as polynomials computed by solving inexpensive local each element. developed WG has been proved to be stable accurate with optimal order error estimates in the H1 norm. Some numerica...

A space-time discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations is presented. We explain the space-time setting, derive the weak formulation and discuss our choices for the numerical fluxes. The resulting numerical method allows local grid adaptation as well as moving and deforming boundaries, which we illustrate by computing the flow around a 3D delta win...

In this paper, a Galerkin boundary node method (GBNM) is developed for boundary-only analysis of 2D problems in linear elasticity. The GBNM combines the variational form of a boundary integral formulation for the elastic equations with the moving least-squares approximations for generating the trial and test functions. Unlike the boundary node method, the main idea here is to use the Galerkin s...
