An upwinding mixed finite element method for a mean field model of superconducting vortices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. In this paper, we construct a combined upwinding and mixed finite element method for the numerical solution of a two-dimensional mean field model of superconducting vortices. An advantage of our method is that it works for any unstructured regular triangulation. A simple convergence analysis is given without resorting to the discrete maximum principle. Numerical examples are also presented.

Three-dimensional calculations of the magnetic fields in a finite superconducting hollow cylinder in an applied axial magnetic field
In this study, a set of self-consistent coupled-integral equations for the local magnetic flux and current distributions in a finite superconducting hollow cylinder under an axial magnetic field has been directly derived by using the Biot-Savart law within the framework of the critical-state model. The equations were first solved numerically in the three-dimensional space before obtaining the h...
متن کاملConvergence analysis of an upwind mixed element method for advection diffusion problems
We consider a upwinding mixed element method for a system of first order partial differential equations resulting from the mixed formulation of a general advection diffusion problem. The system can be used to model the transport of a contaminant carried by a flow. We use the lowest order Raviart–Thomas mixed finite element space. We show the first order convergence both for concentration and co...

In this paper new error estimates for an explicit finite element method for numerically solving the so-called zero-diffusion unipolar model (a one-dimensional simplified version of the drift-diffusion semiconductor device equations) are obtained. The method, studied in a previous paper, combines a mixed finite element method using a continuous piecewise-linear approximation of the electric fiel...

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 ...
