The Discrete Duality Finite Volume method for the Stokes equations on 3-D polyhedral meshes

چکیده
We develop a Discrete Duality Finite Volume (DDFV) method for the three-dimensional steady Stokes problem with a variable viscosity coefficient on polyhedral meshes. Under very general assumptions on the mesh, which may admit non-convex and non-conforming polyhedrons, we prove the stability and well-posedness of the scheme. We also prove the convergence of the numerical approximation to the velocity, velocity gradient and pressure, and derive a priori estimates for the corresponding approximation error. Final numerical experiments confirm the theoretical predictions.

An extension of the Crouzeix-Raviart space to general meshes with application to quasi-incompressible linear elasticity and Stokes flow
In this work we introduce a discrete functional space on general polygonal or polyhedral meshes which mimics two important properties of the standard Crouzeix–Raviart space, namely the continuity of mean values at interfaces and the existence of an interpolator which preserves the mean value of the gradient inside each element. The construction borrows ideas from both Cell Centered Galerkin and...
متن کاملInf-Sup stability of the discrete duality finite volume method for the 2D Stokes problem
“Discrete Duality Finite Volume” schemes (DDFV for short) on general 2D meshes, in particular non conforming ones, are studied for the Stokes problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The DDFV method belongs to the class of staggered schemes since the components of the velocity and the pressure are approximated on different meshes. In this paper, we investigate from a numerical and theoretica...
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...

Abstract. “Discrete Duality Finite Volume” schemes (DDFV for short) on general meshes are studied here for Stokes problems with variable viscosity with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The aim of this work is to analyze the well-posedness of the scheme and its convergence properties. The DDFV method requires a staggered scheme, the discrete unknowns, the components of the velocity and the pressur...
