A study on unfitted 1D finite element methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present paper we consider a 1D Poisson model characterized by the presence of an interface, where a transmission condition arises due to jumps of the coefficients. We aim at studying finite element methods with meshes not fitting such an interface. It is well known that when the mesh does not fit the material discontinuities the resulting scheme provides in general lower order accurate solutions. We focus on so-called embedded approaches, frequently adopted to treat fluid–structure interaction problems, with the aim of recovering higher order of approximation also in presence of non fitting meshes; we implement several methods inspired by: the Immersed Boundary method, the Fictitious Domain method, and the Extended Finite Element method. In particular, we present four formulations in a comprehensive and unified format, proposing several numerical tests and discussing their performance. Moreover, we point out issues that may be encountered in the generalization to higher dimensions and we comment on possible solutions. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

High order unfitted finite element methods on level set domains using isoparametric mappings
We introduce a new class of unfitted finite element methods with high order accurate numerical integration over curved surfaces and volumes which are only implicitly defined by level set functions. An unfitted finite element method which is suitable for the case of piecewise planar interfaces is combined with a parametric mapping of the underlying mesh resulting in an isoparametric unfitted fin...
متن کاملThe aggregated unfitted finite element method for elliptic problems
Unfitted finite element techniques are valuable tools in different applications where the generation of body-fitted meshes is difficult. However, these techniques are prone to severe ill conditioning problems that obstruct the efficient use of iterative Krylov methods and, in consequence, hinders the practical usage of unfitted methods for realistic large scale applications. In this work, we pr...

The paper studies several approaches to numerical integration over a domain defined implicitly by an indicator function such as the level set function. The integration methods are based on subdivision, moment–fitting, local quasi-parametrization and Monte-Carlo techniques. As an application of these techniques, the paper addresses numerical solution of elliptic PDEs posed on volumetric domains ...
