A posteriori error analysis of an augmented mixed finite element method for Darcy flow

چکیده
We develop an a posteriori error analysis of residual type of a stabilized mixed finite element method for Darcy flow. The stabilized formulation is obtained by adding to the standard dualmixed approach suitable residual type terms arising from Darcy’s law and the mass conservation equation. We derive sufficient conditions on the stabilization parameters that guarantee that the augmented variational formulation and the corresponding Galerkin scheme are well-posed. Then, we obtain a simple a posteriori error estimator and prove that it is reliable and locally efficient. Finally, we provide several numerical experiments that illustrate the theoretical results and support the use of the corresponding adaptive algorithm in practice.

A posteriori error estimate for the H(div) conforming mixed finite element for the coupled Darcy-Stokes system
An H(div) conforming mixed finite element method has been proposed for the coupled Darcy-Stokes flow in [30], which imposes normal continuity on the velocity field strongly across the Darcy-Stokes interface. Here, we develop an a posteriori error estimator for this H(div) conforming mixed method, and prove its global reliability and efficiency. Due to the strong coupling on the interface, speci...
متن کاملA Residual-Based A Posteriori Error Estimator for the Stokes-Darcy Coupled Problem
In this paper we develop an a posteriori error analysis of a new conforming mixed finite element method for the coupling of fluid flow with porous media flow. The flows are governed by the Stokes and Darcy equations, respectively, and the transmission conditions are given by mass conservation, balance of normal forces, and the Beavers-Joseph-Saffman law. The finite element subspaces consider Be...
متن کاملResidual and Hierarchical a Posteriori Error Estimates for Nonconforming Mixed Finite Element Methods
We analyze residual and hierarchical a posteriori error estimates for nonconforming finite element approximations of elliptic problems with variable coefficients. We consider a finite volume box scheme equivalent to a nonconforming mixed finite element method in a Petrov–Galerkin setting. We prove that all the estimators yield global upper and local lower bounds for the discretization error. Fi...
متن کاملA posteriori error analysis of an augmented dual-mixed method in linear elasticity with mixed boundary conditions
We consider the augmented mixed finite element method introduced in [7] for the equations of plane linear elasticity with mixed boundary conditions. We develop an a posteriori error analysis based on the Ritz projection of the error and obtain an a posteriori error estimator that is reliable and efficient, but that involves a non-local term. Then, introducing an auxiliary function, we derive fu...
متن کاملA Posteriori Error Estimation for a Dual Mixed Finite Element Approximation of Non–newtonian Fluid Flow Problems
A dual mixed finite element method, for quasi–Newtonian fluid flow obeying to the power law, is constructed and analyzed in [8]. This mixed formulation possesses local (i.e., at element level) conservation properties (conservation of the momentum and the mass) as in the finite volume methods. We propose here an a posteriori error analysis for this mixed formulation.
