Mortar finite elements for a heat transfer problem on sliding meshes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a heat transfer problem with sliding bodies, where heat is generated on the interface due to friction. Neglecting the mechanical part, we assume that the pressure on the contact interface is a known function. Using mortar techniques with Lagrange multipliers, we show existence and uniqueness of the solution in the continuous setting. Moreover, two different mortar formulations are analyzed, and optimal a priori estimates are provided. Numerical results illustrate the flexibility of the approach.

Convergence Results for Non-Conforming hp Methods: The Mortar Finite Element Method
In this paper, we present uniform convergence results for the mortar finite element method (which is an example of a non-conforming method), for h, p and hp discretizations over general meshes. Our numerical and theoretical results show that the mortar finite element method is a good candidate for hp implementation and also that the optimal rates afforded by the conforming h, p and hp discretiz...
متن کاملNatural Convection Heat Transfer within Octagonal Enclosure
The problem of steady, laminar and incompressible natural convection flow in an octagonalenclosure was studied. In this investigation, two horizontal walls were maintained at a constant hightemperature, two vertical walls were kept at a constant low temperature and all inclined walls wereconsidered adiabatic. The enclosure was assumed to be filled with a Bousinessq fluid. The studyincludes comp...
متن کاملAn accurate Local Average Contact (LAC) method for nonmatching meshes in 2D and 3D
The present paper deals with linear and quadratic finite element approximations of the two and three-dimensional unilateral contact problems between two elastic bodies with nonmatching meshes. We propose a simple noninterpenetration condition (on the displacements) which is local (as the well known node-on-segment and node-on-face conditions) and accurate (like the mortar approach). This condit...

In some of the engineering problems, it is necessary to analyze the three-dimensional temperature profiles. In order to solve a typical problem numerically, the three-dimensional temperature diffusion equation is chosen as the mathematical model. The finite volume formulation is derived using Galerkin approach for the mesh of tetrahedral elements, which facilitates solving temperature problems ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Finite-volume Solutions of Radiative Heat Transfer in a Complex Two-dimensional Enclosure with Unstructured Polygonal Meshes
Radiative heat transfer in a complex two-dimensional enclosure with an absorbing, emitting, and isotropically scattering gray medium is investigated by using the finite-volume method. In particular, an implementation of the unstructured polygonal meshes, based on an unstructured triangular system, is introduced, thereby reducing the computation time required for the analysis of thermal radiatio...
