A variational approach to derive a piecewise constant conservative approximation of anisotropic diffusion equations is presented. A priori error estimates are derived assuming usual mesh regularity constraints and a posteriori error indicator is proposed and analyzed for the model problem.

A cell-centred finite-volume approximation for anisotropic diffusion operators on unstructured meshes in any space dimension
Finite-volume methods for problems involving second-order operators with full diffusion matrix can be used thanks to the definition of a discrete gradient for piecewise constant functions on unstructured meshes satisfying an orthogonality condition. This discrete gradient is shown to satisfy a strong convergence property for the interpolation of regular functions, and a weak one for functions b...

In this paper the piecewise level set method is combined with phase field method to solve the shape and topology optimization problem. First, the optimization problem is formed based on piecewise constant level set method then is updated using the energy term of phase field equations. The resulting diffusion equation which updates the level set function and optimization ...
متن کاملNumerical solution of boundary value problems for the eikonal equation in an anisotropic medium
A Dirichlet problem is considered for the eikonal equation in an anisotropic medium. The nonlinear boundary value problem (BVP) formulated in the present work is the limit of the diffusion–reaction problem with a diffusion parameter tending to zero. To solve numerically the singularly perturbed diffusion– reaction problem, monotone approximations are employed. Numerical examples are presented f...
متن کاملResidual flux-based a posteriori error estimates for finite volume and related locally conservative methods
We derive in this paper a posteriori error estimates for discretizations of convection–diffusion–reaction equations in two or three space dimensions. Our estimates are valid for any cell-centered finite volume scheme, and, in a larger sense, for any locally conservative method such as the mimetic finite difference, covolume, and other. We consider meshes consisting of simplices or rectangular p...
