Convergence analysis of an upwind mixed element method for advection diffusion problems

نویسنده

  • Zhitao Li
چکیده

We consider a upwinding mixed element method for a system of first order partial differential equations resulting from the mixed formulation of a general advection diffusion problem. The system can be used to model the transport of a contaminant carried by a flow. We use the lowest order Raviart–Thomas mixed finite element space. We show the first order convergence both for concentration and concentration flux in LðXÞ. 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Analysis of the Streamline Upwind/Petrov Galerkin Method Applied to the Solution of Optimal Control Problems

We study the effect of the streamline upwind/Petrov Galerkin (SUPG) stabilized finite element method on the discretization of optimal control problems governed by linear advection-diffusion equations. We compare two approaches for the numerical solution of such optimal control problems. In the discretize-then-optimize approach the optimal control problem is first discretized, using the SUPG met...

Solution of Parabolic Equations by Backward Euler-Mixed Finite Element Methods on a Dynamically Changing Mesh

We develop and analyze methods based on combining the lowest-order mixed finite element method with backward Euler time discretization for the solution of diffusion problems on dynamically changing meshes. The methods developed are shown to preserve the optimal rate error estimates that are well known for static meshes. The novel aspect of the scheme is the construction of a linear approximatio...

On Parameter Choice and Iterative Convergence for Stabilised Discretisations of Advection-diffusion Problems

In this work we consider the design of robust and eecient nite element approximation methods for solving advection-diiusion equations. Speciically, we consider the stabilisation of discrete approximations using uniform grids which do not resolve boundary layers, as might arise using a multi-level (or multigrid) iteration strategy to solve the discrete problem. Our analysis shows that when using...

Analysis of a Modified Second-Order Mixed Hybrid BDM1 Finite Element Method for Transport Problems in Divergence Form

We prove optimal second order convergence of a modified BDM1 mixed finite element scheme for advection-diffusion problems in divergence form. If advection is present, it is known that the total flux is approximated only with first order accuracy by the classical BDM1 mixed method, which is suboptimal since the same order of convergence is obtained if the computationally less expensive RT0 eleme...

Local Error Analysis of Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Advection-Dominated Elliptic Linear-Quadratic Optimal Control Problems

This paper analyzes the local properties of the symmetric interior penalty upwind discontinuous Galerkin method (SIPG) for the numerical solution of optimal control problems governed by linear reaction-advection-diffusion equations with distributed controls. The theoretical and numerical results presented in this paper show that for advection-dominated problems the convergence properties of the...
