Discrete Maximum principle for a space-time least squares formulation of the transport equation with finite element
نویسندگان
چکیده
Finite element methods are known to produce spurious oscillations when the transport equation is solved. In this paper, a variational formulation for the transport equation is proposed, and by introducing a positivity constraint combined with a penalization of the total variation of the solution, a discrete maximum principle is verified for lagrange first order finite element methods. Moreover, the oscillations are cancelled.

Non-negative mixed finite element formulations for a tensorial diffusion equation
We consider the tensorial diffusion equation, and address the discrete maximumminimum principle of mixed finite element formulations. In particular, we address non-negative solutions (which is a special case of the maximum-minimum principle) of mixed finite element formulations. It is well-known that the classical finite element formulations (like the single-field Galerkin formulation, and Ravi...
متن کاملSpherical Harmonics Finite Element Solution of the Least-squares Neutron Transport Equation
To solve the neutron Boltzmann equation in anisotropic or void regions, one may use deterministic methods such as the discrete ordinates method or the even-parity approach. Both methods have shown numerous applications and developments in the last 30 years. Nevertheless both exhibit drawbacks in three-dimensions void regions that require special treatments, such as using characteristics method ...
متن کاملLeast-squares methods for the velocity-pressure-stress formulation of the Stokes equations
We formulate and study finite element methods for the solution of the incompressible Stokes equations based on the application of least-squares minimization principle to an equivalent first order velocity-pressure-stress system. Our least-squares functional involves the L*-norms of the residuals of each equation multiplied by a mesh-dependent weight. Each weight is determined according to the A...
متن کاملA space-time finite element formulation for fluid-structure interaction
We present a space-time finite element formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations which is stabilized via the Galerkin/least-squares approach. The variational equation is based on the time discontinuous Galerkin method and is written in terms of the physical entropy variables over the moving and deforming space-time slabs. The formulation thus becomes analogous to the classical arbitrary Lagran...
متن کاملSeepage with Nonlinear Permeability by Least Square FEM
In seepage problems, the coefficients of permeability in Laplace equation are usually assumed to be constant vs. both space and time; but in reality these coefficients are variable. In this study, the effect of material deformation due to external loads (consolidation) and variation of head in the consolidation process are considered. For the first case, formulation of kx and ky can be defined ...
