Mixed Finite Element Analysis of Thermally Coupled Quasi-newtonian Flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mixed finite element method combined with a fixed point algorithm is proposed for solving the thermally coupled quasi-Newtonian flow problem. The existence and uniqueness of the mixed variational solution are established. A more general uniqueness result for the original system problem is presented. The convergence of the approximate solution is analyzed and the corresponding error estimates are given.

A Posteriori Error Estimation for a Dual Mixed Finite Element Method for Quasi–newtonian Flows Whose Viscosity Obeys a Power Law or Carreau Law
Abstract: A dual mixed finite element method, for quasi–Newtonian fluid flow obeying the power law or the Carreau law, is constructed and analyzed in Farhloul–Zine [13]. This mixed formulation possesses good local (i.e., at element level) conservation properties (conservation of the momentum and the mass) as in the finite volume methods. In Farhloul–Zine [12], we developed an a posteriori error...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Approximation of Quasilinear Elliptic Boundary Value Problems Ii: Strongly Monotone Quasi-newtonian Flows
In this article we develop both the a priori and a posteriori error analysis of hp– version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for strongly monotone quasi-Newtonian fluid flows in a bounded Lipschitz domain Ω ⊂ R, d = 2, 3. In the latter case, computable upper and lower bounds on the error are derived in terms of a natural energy norm which are explicit in the local ...
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.
متن کاملA dual-mixed finite element method for quasi-Newtonian flows whose viscosity obeys a power law or the Carreau law
The aim of this work is a construction of a dual mixed finite element method for a quasi–Newtonian flow obeying the Carreau or power law. This method is based on the introduction of the stress tensor as a new variable and the reformulation of the governing equations as a twofold saddle point problem. The derived formulation possesses local (i.e. at element level) conservation properties (conser...
متن کاملQUASI-NORM TECHNIQUES FOR FINITE ELEMENT APPROXIMATION OF p-LAPLAICAN
The p-Laplacian problem is one of the typical examples of degenerate nonlinear systems arising from nonlinear diffusion and filtration, powerlaw materials and quasi-Newtonian flows. In this article we give a survey of quasi-norm techniques to establish optimal error estimates for finite element approximation of p-Laplacian.
