An Error Estimate for Finite Volume Methods for the Stokes Equations on Equilateral Triangular Meshes

چکیده
Abstract. We give here an error estimate for a finite volume discretization of the Stokes equations in two space dimensions on equilateral triangular meshes. This work was initiated by an analogous result presented in [AA 02] for general triangular meshes. However, in this latter article, the result is not actually proven. We state here the restricting assumptions (namely equilateral triangles) under which the error estimate holds, using the tools which were introduced in [EGH 00] and used in [AA 02].

Multigrid Solution of the Navier-Stokes Equations on Triangular Meshes
A new Navier-Stokes algorithm for use on unstructured triangular meshes is presented. Spatial discretization of the governing equations is achieved using a finite-element Galerkin approximation, which can be shown to be equivalent to a finite-volume approximation for regular equilateral triangular meshes. Integration to steady state is performed using a multistage time-stepping scheme, and conv...
متن کاملConvergence analysis of a finite volume method for the Stokes system using non-conforming arguments
We consider finite volume methods for the Stokes system in a polyhedral domain of Rd , d = 2 or 3. We prove different error estimates using non-conforming tools, namely by regarding the finite volume scheme as a non-conforming approximation of the continous variational problem. This point of view allows us to extend recent error estimates obtained by Blanc et al. (2004, Numer. Meth. PDE, 20, 90...

متن کاملNumerical investigation on the effects of six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular configurations on fluid flow and forced convection heat transfer from a circular cylinder
The present work deals with heat transfer characteristics as well as fluid flow patterns in laminar flow regime for a circular cylinder with six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular geometries. The computations have been carried out by a finite volume approach using the overset grid method. The unsteady flow at Re= 200 and Pr= 0.7 and 7.0 was examined. The effect of the control rods ...
متن کاملA finite volume scheme on general meshes for the steady Navier-Stokes equations in two space dimensions
Numerical schemes for the Navier-Stokes equations (1) have been extensively studied: see [7, 11, 12, 13, 8, 6, 15] and references therein. Among different schemes, finite element schemes and finite volume schemes are frequently used for mathematical or engineering studies. An advantage of the finite volume schemes is that the unknowns are approximated by piecewise constant functions: this makes...
