چکیده
We apply high-order mixed finite element discretization techniques and their associated preconditioned iterative solvers to the Variable Eddington Factor (VEF) equations in two spatial dimensions. The VEF discretizations are coupled a Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) of discrete ordinates transport equation form effective linear algorithms that compatible with (curved) meshes. This combination is motivated by use methods hydrodynamics calculations at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Due mathematical structure equations, standard Raviart Thomas (RT) elements cannot be used approximate vector variable equations. Instead, we investigate three alternatives based on continuous for each component, non-conforming RT approach where DG-like used, hybridized method. present numerical results demonstrate accuracy, compatibility curved meshes, robust efficient convergence iteratively solving transport-VEF system invert discretized

Mixed Finite Element Methods
A new mixed nite element method on totally distorted rectangular meshes is introduced with optimal error estimates for both pressure and velocity. This new mixed discretization ts the geometric shapes of the discontinuity of the rough coeecients and domain boundaries well. This new mixed method also enables us to derive the optimal error estimates and existence and uniqueness of Thomas's mixed ...
متن کاملMixed Finite Element Methods
Finite element methods in which two spaces are used to approximate two different variables receive the general denomination of mixed methods. In some cases, the second variable is introduced in the formulation of the problem because of its physical interest and it is usually related with some derivatives of the original variable. This is the case, for example, in the elasticity equations, where...
متن کاملOn mixed finite element methods for first order elliptic systems
A physically based duality theory for first order elliptic systems is shorn to be of central importance in connection with the Galerkin finite element solution of these systems. Using this theory in conjunction with a certain hypothesis concerning approximation spaces, optimal error estimates for Galerkin type approximations are demonstrated. An example of a grid which satisfies the hypothesis ...
متن کاملHigher order temporal finite element methods through mixed formalisms
The extended framework of Hamilton's principle and the mixed convolved action principle provide new rigorous weak variational formalism for a broad range of initial boundary value problems in mathematical physics and mechanics. In this paper, their potential when adopting temporally higher order approximations is investigated. The classical single-degree-of-freedom dynamical systems are primari...
