Multiscale mixed finite elements

چکیده
In this work, we propose a mixed finite element method for solving elliptic multiscale problems based on a localized orthogonal decomposition (LOD) of Raviart– Thomas finite element spaces. It requires to solve local problems in small patches around the elements of a coarse grid. These computations can be perfectly parallelized and are cheap to perform. Using the results of these patch problems, we construct a low dimensional multiscale mixed finite element space with very high approximation properties. This space can be used for solving the original saddle point problem in an efficient way. We prove convergence of our approach, independent of structural assumptions or scale separation. Finally, we demonstrate the applicability of our method by presenting a variety of numerical experiments, including a comparison with an MsFEM approach.

متن کاملHomogenization-Based Mixed Multiscale Finite Elements for Problems with Anisotropy
Multiscale finite element numerical methods are used to solve flow problems when the coefficient in the elliptic operator is heterogeneous. A popular mixed multiscale finite element has basis functions which can be defined only over pairs of elements, so we call it a “dual-support” element. We show by example that it can fail to reproduce constant flow fields, and so fails to converge in any me...
متن کاملA stabilized mixed finite element method for Darcy flow based on a multiscale decomposition of the solution
Recently Masud and Hughes proposed a stabilized mixed finite element formulation for Darcy flow. An interesting feature of this formulation is that there are no mesh-dependent parameters. In the present work we provide a derivation of this formulation based on a multiscale decomposition of the solution. We also extend the work of Masud and Hughes to three-dimensional problems and show the conve...
متن کاملA Multiscale Mortar Multipoint Flux Mixed Finite Element Method
In this paper, we develop a multiscale mortar multipoint flux mixed finite element method for second order elliptic problems. The equations in the coarse elements (or subdomains) are discretized on a fine grid scale by a multipoint flux mixed finite element method that reduces to cell-centered finite differences on irregular grids. The subdomain grids do not have to match across the interfaces....
متن کاملSubgrid Upscaling and Mixed Multiscale Finite Elements
Second order elliptic problems in divergence form with a highly varying leading order coefficient on the scale can be approximated on coarse meshes of spacing H only if one uses special techniques. The mixed variational multiscale method, also called subgrid upscaling, can be used, and this method is extended to allow oversampling of the local subgrid problems. The method is shown to be equival...
