A new anisotropic mesh adaptation method based upon hierarchical a posteriori error estimates

چکیده
A new anisotropic mesh adaptation strategy for finite element solution of elliptic differential equations is presented. It generates anisotropic adaptive meshes as quasi-uniform ones in some metric space, with the metric tensor being computed based on hierarchical a posteriori error estimates. A global hierarchical error estimate is employed in this study to obtain reliable directional information of the solution. Instead of solving the global error problem exactly, which is costly in general, we solve it iteratively using the symmetric Gauß–Seidel method. Numerical results show that a few GS iterations are sufficient for obtaining a reasonably good approximation to the error for use in anisotropic mesh adaptation. The new method is compared with several strategies using local error estimators or recovered Hessians. Numerical results are presented for a selection of test examples and a mathematical model for heat conduction in a thermal battery with large orthotropic jumps in the material coefficients. 2009 Elsevier Inc.

Anisotropic mesh adaptation based upon a posteriori error estimates
An anisotropic mesh adaptation strategy for finite element solution of elliptic differential equations is considered. The adaptation method generates anisotropic adaptive meshes as quasiuniform ones in some metric space. The associated metric tensor is computed by means of a posteriori hierarchical error estimates.

متن کاملAnisotropic mesh adaption based on a posteriori estimates and optimisation of node positions
Boundary or interior layers are usually highly directional solution features. Thus, suitable anisotropic meshes, reflecting the directional features of the solution, provide the basis for the most efficient numerical approximation. Anisotropic mesh design strategies based upon a priori analysis have been developed for a variety of PDE problems and discretisations. On the other hand a posteriori...
متن کاملA posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$-error estimates with the new version of streamline diffusion method for the wave equation
In this article, we study the new streamline diffusion finite element for treating the linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem. We prove a posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$ and error estimates for this method under minimal regularity hypothesis. Test problem of an application of the wave equation in the laser is presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the method.
متن کاملA two-dimensional moving finite element method with local refinement based on a posteriori error estimates
In this paper, we consider the numerical solution of time-dependent PDEs using a finite element method based upon rh-adaptivity. An adaptive horizontal method of lines strategy equipped with a posteriori error estimates to control the discretization through variable time steps and spatial grid adaptations is used. Our approach combines an r-refinement method based upon solving so-called moving ...
متن کاملAdaptive time-step with anisotropic meshing for incompressible flows
This talk focuses on the development of a new space and time adaptive method for incompressible flows. We start with an overview about the anisotropic mesh adaptation, introduced in [1]. The latter method is developed using a posteriori estimates relying on the length distribution tensor approach and the associated edge based error analysis. The key point of this work is the extension of the me...
