In our talk, we propose an adaptive mesh-refining strategy for the cell-centered FVM based on some a posteriori error control for the quantity ‖∇T (u − Iuh)‖L2 . Here, uh ∈ P (T ) denotes the FVM approximation of u and I is a certain interpolation operator. As model example serves the Laplace equation with mixed boundary conditions, where our contributions extend a result of [NIC05]. Moreover, ...

in this paper, a viscous flow simulation is presented using the lattice boltzmann equation (lbe). a finite volume approach is adapted to discretize the lbe on a cell-centered, arbitrary shaped, rectangular tessellation. the formulation includes upwind scheme and high order descretization schemes for the flux term and collision operator respectively. a consistent open and solid boundary treatmen...

Cell-centered finite volume methods are prevailing in numerical simulation of flow in porous media. However, due to the lack of cell-centered finite volume methods for mechanics, coupled flow and deformation is usually treated either by coupled finite-volume-finite element discretizations, or within a finite element setting. The former approach is unfavorable as it introduces two separate grid ...

In this paper, the cell-centered finite volume method (CC-FVM) has been presented to simulate the axisymmetric radial flow toward a pumping well. The model is applied to the unstructured triangular grids which allows to simulate inhomogeneous and complex-shaped domains. Due to the non-orthogonality of the irregular grids, the multipoint flux approximation (MPFA) methods are used to discretize t...

In this paper, we conduct an a posteriori analysis for the error in a quantity of interest computed from a cell-centered finite volume scheme. The a posteriori error analysis is based on variational analysis, residual error and the adjoint problem. To carry out the analysis, we use an equivalence between the cell-centered finite volume scheme and a mixed finite element method with special choic...

We show convergence of a cell-centered finite volume discretization for linear elasticity. The discretization, termed the MPSA method, was recently proposed in the context of geological applications, where cell-centered variables are often preferred. Our analysis utilizes a hybrid variational formulation, which has previously been used to analyze finite volume discretizations for the scalar dif...
