Multilevel Homotopic Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Convection Dominated Problems

چکیده
A multilevel homotopic adaptive finite element method is presented in this paper for convection dominated problems. By the homotopic method with respect to the diffusion parameter, the grids are iteratively adapted to better approximate the solution. Some new theoretic results and practical techniques for the grid adaptation are presented. Numerical experiments show that a standard finite element scheme based on this properly adapted grid works in a robust and efficient manner.

متن کاملNumerical Studies of Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Two Dimensional Convection-Dominated Problems
In this paper, we study the stability and accuracy of adaptive finite element methods for the convection-dominated convection-diffusion-reaction problem in the twodimension space. Through various numerical examples on a type of layer-adapted grids (Shishkin grids), we show that the mesh adaptivity driven by accuracy alone cannot stabilize the scheme in all cases. Furthermore the numerical appro...

متن کاملFinite Element Methods for Convection Diffusion Equation
This paper deals with the finite element solution of the convection diffusion equation in one and two dimensions. Two main techniques are adopted and compared. The first one includes Petrov-Galerkin based on Lagrangian tensor product elements in conjunction with streamlined upwinding. The second approach represents Bubnov/Petrov-Galerkin schemes based on a new group of exponential elements. It ...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Characteristic Petrov-Galerkin Finite Element Method for Convection-Dominated Linear and Nonlinear Parabolic Problems in One Space Variable
A new adaptive finite element method for convection-dominated problems is presented. A special feature of the method is that it is based on a Petrov-Galerkin scheme for spatial approximation at a typical time-step which employs test functions chosen so that the approximate solution coincides with the exact solution at the nodes of finite element grid. This procedure makes possible the derivatio...
