A Dual Mixed Formulation for Non-isothermal Oldroyd–Stokes Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a mixed formulation for non-isothermal Oldroyd–Stokes problem where the both extra stress and the heat flux’s vector are considered. Based on such a formulation, a dual mixed finite element is constructed and analyzed. This finite element method enables us to obtain precise approximations of the dual variable which are, for the non-isothermal fluid flow problems, the viscous and polymeric components of the extra-stress tensor, as well as the heat flux. Furthermore, it has properties analogous to the finite volume methods, namely, the local conservation of the momentum and the mass.

Abstract : The meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method with unity as the weighting function has been applied to the solution of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The Navier-Stokes equations in terms of the stream function and vorticity formulation together with the energy equation are solved for a driven cavity flow for moderate Reynolds numbers using different point distributions. The L2-...

Abstract. We consider the Stokes-Oldroyd equations, defined here as the Stokes equations with the Newtonian constitutive equation explicitly included. Thus a polymer-like stress tensor is included so that the dependent variable structure of a viscoelastic model is in place. The energy equation is coupled with the mass, momentum, and constitutive equations through the use of temperature-dependen...

In this work a dual-mixed approximation of a nonlinear generalized Stokes problem is studied. The problem is analyzed in Sobolev spaces which arise naturally in the problem formulation. Existence and uniqueness results are given and error estimates are derived. It is shown that both lowest-order and higher-order mixed finite elements are suitable for the approximation method.

متن کاملDual-mixed finite element approximation of Stokes and nonlinear Stokes problems using trace-free velocity gradients
In this work a finite element method for a dual-mixed approximation of Stokes and nonlinear Stokes problems is studied. The dual-mixed structure, which yields a twofold saddle point problem, arises in a formulation of this problem through the introduction of unknown variables with relevant physical meaning. The method approximates the velocity, its gradient, and the total stress tensor, but avo...
