A new mixed finite element method on three-dimensional hexahedral meshes for second order elliptic problems is proposed. This finite element is a composite element. It is shown to have optimal convergence properties, and it is applied to a hydrogeology problem.

A multipoint flux mixed finite element method on distorted quadrilaterals and hexahedra
In this paper, we develop a new mixed finite element method for elliptic problems on general quadrilateral and hexahedral grids that reduces to a cell-centered finite difference scheme. A special non-symmetric quadrature rule is employed that yields a positive definite cell-centered system for the pressure by eliminating local velocities. The method is shown to be accurate on highly distorted r...
متن کاملAccurate Cell-Centered Discretizations for Modeling Multiphase Flow in Porous Media on General Hexahedral and Simplicial Grids
We introduce an accurate cell-centered method for modeling Darcy flow on general quadrilateral, hexahedral, and simplicial grids. We refer to these discretizations as the multipoint-flux mixed-finiteelement (MFMFE) method. The MFMFE method is locally conservative with continuous fluxes and can be viewed within a variational framework as a mixed finite-element method with special approximating s...
متن کاملA Family of Multipoint Flux Mixed Finite Element Methods for Elliptic Problems on General Grids
In this paper, we discuss a family of multipoint flux mixed finite element (MFMFE) methods on simplicial, quadrilateral, hexahedral, and triangular-prismatic grids. The MFMFE methods are locally conservative with continuous normal fluxes, since they are developed within a variational framework as mixed finite element methods with special approximating spaces and quadrature rules. The latter all...
متن کاملUniformly Stable Mixed Hp-finite Elements on Multilevel Adaptive Grids with Hanging Nodes
We consider a family of quadrilateral or hexahedral mixed hp-finite elements for an incompressible flow problem with Qr-elements for the velocity and discontinuous Pr−1-elements for the pressure where the order r can vary from element to element between 2 and an arbitrary bound. For multilevel adaptive grids with hanging nodes and a sufficiently small mesh size, we prove the inf-sup condition u...
متن کاملA Multipoint Flux Mixed Finite Element Method on Hexahedra
We develop a mixed finite element method for elliptic problems on hexahedral grids that reduces to cell-centered finite differences. The paper is an extension of our earlier paper for quadrilateral and simplicial grids [M. F. Wheeler and I. Yotov, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 44 (2006), pp. 2082–2106]. The construction is motivated by the multipoint flux approximation method, and it is based on an enh...
