Expanded Mixed Finite Element Domain Decomposition Methods on Triangular Grids

چکیده
In this work, we present a cell-centered time-splitting technique for solving evolutionary diffusion equations on triangular grids. To this end, we consider three variables (namely the pressure, the flux and a weighted gradient) and construct a so-called expanded mixed finite element method. This method introduces a suitable quadrature rule which permits to eliminate both fluxes and gradients, thus yielding a cell-centered semidiscrete scheme for the pressure with a local 10-point stencil. As for the time integration, we use a domain decomposition operator splitting based on a partition of unity function. Combining this splitting with a multiterm fractional step formula, we obtain a collection of uncoupled subdomain problems that can be efficiently solved in parallel. A priori error estimates for both the semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes are derived on smooth triangular meshes with six triangles per internal vertex.

Mixed Finite Element Methods on Nonmatching Multiblock Grids
We consider mixed nite element methods for second order elliptic equations on non-matching multiblock grids. A mortar nite element space is introduced on the non-matching interfaces. We approximate in this mortar space the trace of the solution, and we impose weakly a continuity of ux condition. A standard mixed nite element method is used within the blocks. Optimal order convergence is shown f...

The balancing domain decomposition method for mixed finite elements by Cowsar, Mandel, and Wheeler is extended to the case of mortar mixed finite elements on non-matching multiblock grids. The algorithm involves an iterative solution of a mortar interface problem with one local Dirichlet solve and one local Neumann solve per subdomain on each iteration. A coarse solve is used to guarantee that ...

We investigate modeling flow in porous media in multiblock domain. Mixed finite element methods are used for subdomain discretizations. Physically meaningful boundary conditions are imposed on the non-matching interfaces via mortar finite element spaces. We investigate the pollution effect of nonmatching grids error on the numerical solution away from interfaces. We prove that most of the error...
متن کاملPreconditioning for Heterogeneous Problems
The main focus of this paper is to suggest a domain decomposition method for mixed finite element approximations of elliptic problems with anisotropic coefficients in domains. The theorems on traces of functions from Sobolev spaces play an important role in studying boundary value problems of partial differential equations. These theorems are commonly used for a priori estimates of the stabilit...
