Finite Element Technique for Optimal Pressure Recovery from Stream Function Formulation of Viscous Flows*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Following a general analysis of convergence for the finite element solution of the stream function formulation of the Navier-Stokes equation in bounded regions of the plane, an algorithm for pressure recovery is presented. This algorithm, which is easy to implement, is then analyzed and conditions ensuring optimality of the approximation are given. An application is made to a standard conforming cubic macroelement.

Two Level Finite Element Technique for Pressure Recovery from Stream Function Formulation of The Navier-Stokes Equations
We consider two-level finite element discretization methods for the stream function formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. The two-level method consists of solving a small nonlinear system on the coarse mesh, then solving a linear system on the fine mesh. It is shown in [8] that the errors between the coarse and fine meshes are related superlinearly. This paper presents an algorithm for pr...

The purpose of this study is to derive optimal shapes of a body located in viscous flows by the finite element method using the acoustic velocity and the four-step explicit scheme. The formulation is based on an optimal control theory in which a performance function of the fluid force is introduced. The performance function should be minimized satisfying the state equation. This problem can be ...

A finite element method for computing viscous incompressible flows based on the gauge formulation introduced in [Weinan E, Liu J-G. Gauge method for viscous incompressible flows. Journal of Computational Physics (submitted)] is presented. This formulation replaces the pressure by a gauge variable. This new gauge variable is a numerical tool and differs from the standard gauge variable that aris...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis of Incompressible Viscous Flows by the Penalty Function Formulation
A review of recent work and new developments are presented for the penalty-function, finite element formulation of incompressible viscous flows. Basic features of the penalty method are described in the context of the steady and unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. Galerkin and “upwind” treatments of convection terms are discussed. Numerical results indicate the versatility and effectiveness of th...
متن کاملA non-conforming least-squares finite element method for incompressible fluid flow problems
In this paper, we develop least-squares finite element methods (LSFEMs) for incompressible fluid flows with improved mass conservation. Specifically, we formulate a new locally conservative LSFEM for the velocity– vorticity–pressure Stokes system, which uses a piecewise divergence-free basis for the velocity and standard C 0 elements for the vorticity and the pressure. The new method, which we ...
