چکیده
A family of explicit space-time finite element methods for the initial boundary value problem for linear, symmetric hyperbolic systems of equations is described and analyzed. The method generalizes the discontinuous Galerkin method and, as is typical for this method, obtains error estimates of order O(hn+1/2) for approximations by polynomials of degree ≤ n.

Numerical studies of non-local hyperbolic partial differential equations using collocation methods
The non-local hyperbolic partial differential equations have many applications in sciences and engineering. A collocation finite element approach based on exponential cubic B-spline and quintic B-spline are presented for the numerical solution of the wave equation subject to nonlocal boundary condition. Von Neumann stability analysis is used to analyze the proposed methods. The efficiency, accu...
متن کاملInvestigation of Fluid-structure Interaction by Explicit Central Finite Difference Methods
Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) occurs when the dynamic water hammer forces; cause vibrations in the pipe wall. FSI in pipe systems due to Poisson and junction coupling has been the center of attention in recent years. It causes fluctuations in pressure heads and vibrations in the pipe wall. The governing equations of this phenomenon include a system of first order hyperbolic partial differen...

Flood routing has many applications in engineering projects and helps designers in understanding the flood flow characteristics in river flows. Floods are taken unsteady flows that vary by time and location. Equations governing unsteady flows in waterways are continuity and momentum equations which in case of one-dimensional flow the Saint-Venant hypothesis is considered. Dynamic wave model as ...
متن کاملStabilized Finite Element Methods for Nonsymmetric, Noncoercive, and Ill-Posed Problems. Part II: Hyperbolic Equations
In this paper we consider stabilized finite element methods for hyperbolic transport equations without coercivity. Abstract conditions for the convergence of the methods are introduced and these conditions are shown to hold for three different stabilized methods: the Galerkin least squares method, the continuous interior penalty method, and the discontinuous Galerkin method. We consider both th...
متن کاملA Finite Element Method for Time-dependent Convection-diffusion Equations
We present a finite element method for time-dependent convectiondiffusion equations. The method is explicit and is applicable with piecewise polynomials of degree n > 2 . In the limit of zero diffusion, it reduces to a recently analyzed finite element method for hyperbolic equations. Near optimal error estimates are derived. Numerical results are given.
