A Unified Analysis for Conforming and Nonconforming Stabilized Finite Element Methods Using Interior Penalty

چکیده

We discuss stabilized Galerkin approximations in a new framework, widening the scope from the usual dichotomy of the discontinuous Galerkin method on the one hand and Petrov– Galerkin methods such as the SUPG method on the other. The idea is to use interior penalty terms as a means of stabilizing the finite element method using conforming or nonconforming approximation, thus circumventing the need of a Petrov–Galerkin-type choice of spaces. This is made possible by adding a higher-order penalty term giving L2-control of the jumps in the gradients between adjacent elements. We consider convection-diffusion-reaction problems using piecewise linear approximations and prove optimal order a priori error estimates for two different finite element spaces, the standard H1-conforming space of piecewise linears and the nonconforming space of piecewise linear elements where the nodes are situated at the midpoint of the element sides (the Crouzeix–Raviart element). Moreover, we show how the formulation extends to discontinuous Galerkin interior penalty methods in a natural way by domain decomposition using Nitsche’s method.

Polynomial-Degree-Robust A Posteriori Estimates in a Unified Setting for Conforming, Nonconforming, Discontinuous Galerkin, and Mixed Discretizations

We present equilibrated flux a posteriori error estimates in a unified setting for conforming, nonconforming, discontinuous Galerkin, and mixed finite element discretizations of the two-dimensional Poisson problem. Relying on the equilibration by the mixed finite element solution of patchwise Neumann problems, the estimates are guaranteed, locally computable, locally efficient, and robust with ...

A Hybridized Crouziex-Raviart Nonconforming Finite Element and Discontinuous Galerkin Method for a Two-Phase Flow in the Porous Media

In this study, we present a numerical solution for the two-phase incompressible flow in the porous media under isothermal condition using a hybrid of the linear lower-order nonconforming finite element and the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. This hybridization is developed for the first time in the two-phase modeling and considered as the main novelty of this research.The p...

A unified framework for a posteriori error estimation for the Stokes problem

In this paper, a unified framework for a posteriori error estimation for the Stokes problem is developed. It is based on [H 0 (Ω)] -conforming velocity reconstruction and H(div, Ω)-conforming, locally conservative flux (stress) reconstruction. It gives guaranteed, fully computable global upper bounds as well as local lower bounds on the energy error. In order to apply this framework to a given ...

Finite element methods for the displacement obstacle problem of clamped plates

We study finite element methods for the displacement obstacle problem of clamped Kirchhoff plates. A unified convergence analysis is provided for C1 finite element methods, classical nonconforming finite element methods and C0 interior penalty methods. Under the condition that the obstacles are sufficiently smooth and that they are separated from each other and the zero displacement boundary co...
