چکیده
These notes are based on lectures given in a Short Course on Theoretical and Numerical Fluid Mechanics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, July 27-28, 1996, and at several other places since then. They provide an introduction to recent developments in the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations by the finite element method. The material is presented in eight sections:

متن کاملLeast Squares Finite Element Methods for Viscous, Incompressible Flows
This paper is concerned with finite element methods of least-squares type for the approximate numerical solution of incompressible, viscous flow problems. Our main focus is on issues that are critical for the success of the finite element methods, such as decomposition of the Navier-Stokes equations into equivalent first-order systems, mathematical prerequisites for the optimality of the method...
متن کاملStabilized Finite Element Methods for the Velocity-Pressure-Stress Formulation of Incompressible Flows
Formulated in terms of velocity, pressure and the extra stress tensor, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are discretized by stabilized finite element methods. The stabilized methods proposed are analyzed for a linear model and extended to the Navier-Stokes equations. The numerical tests performed confirm the good stability characteristics of the methods. These methods are applicable to...

This paper describes a characteristics-mix finite element method for the computation of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with variable density. We have introduced a mixed scheme which combines a characteristics finite element scheme for treating the mass conservation equation and a finite element method to deal with the momentum equation and the divergence free constraint. The proposed me...

Abstract In this paper the design and analysis of a dimensionally consistent stabilization operator for a time-discontinuous Galerkin least-squares finite element method for unsteady viscous flow problems governed by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, is discussed. The analysis results in a class of stabilization operators which satisfy essential conditions for the stability of the num...
متن کاملThe Postprocessed Mixed Finite-Element Method for the Navier-Stokes Equations
A postprocessing technique for mixed finite-element methods for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations is studied. The technique was earlier developed for spectral and standard finite-element methods for dissipative partial differential equations. The postprocessing amounts to solving a Stokes problem on a finer grid (or higher-order space) once the time integration on the coarser mesh is c...
