Analysis of Mixed Finite Element Methods for the Stokes Problem: A Unified Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a method for the analysis of mixed finite element methods for the Stokes problem in the velocity-pressure formulation. A technical "macroelement condition", which is sufficient for the classical Babuska-Brezzi inequality to be valid, is introduced. Using this condition,we are able to verify the stability, and optimal order of convergence, of several known mixed finite element methods.

A New Stress Based Approach for Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis
This article demonstrates a new approach for nonlinear finite element analysis. The methodology is very suitable and gives very accurate results in linear as well as in nonlinear range of the material behavior. Proposed methodology can be regarded as stress based finite element analysis as it is required to define the stress distribution within the structural body with structural idealization a...
متن کاملTowards a unified analysis of mixed methods for elasticity with weakly symmetric stress
We propose a framework for the unified analysis of mixed methods for elasticity with weakly symmetric stress. Based on a commuting diagram in the weakly symmetric elasticity complex and extending a previous stability result, stable mixed methods are obtained by combining Stokes stable and elasticity stable finite elements. We show that the framework can be used to analyze most existing mixed me...
متن کاملA numerical approach for variable-order fractional unified chaotic systems with time-delay
This paper proposes a new computational scheme for approximating variable-order fractional integral operators by means of finite element scheme. This strategy is extended to approximate the solution of a class of variable-order fractional nonlinear systems with time-delay. Numerical simulations are analyzed in the perspective of the mean absolute error and experimental convergence order. To ill...
متن کاملA 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 ...

This paper is concerned with residual type a posteriori error estimators for finite element methods for the Stokes equations. In particular, the authors established a unified approach for deriving and analyzing a posteriori error estimators for velocity-pressure based finite element formulations for the Stokes equations. A general a posteriori error estimator was presented with a unified mathem...
