Finite Element Methods for Convection Diffusion Equation
Authors
Abstract:
This paper deals with the finite element solution of the convection diffusion equation in one and two dimensions. Two main techniques are adopted and compared. The first one includes Petrov-Galerkin based on Lagrangian tensor product elements in conjunction with streamlined upwinding. The second approach represents Bubnov/Petrov-Galerkin schemes based on a new group of exponential elements. It is shown that specially devised exponential elements can be very effective in finite element analysis of convection dominated phenomena.

Non-conforming Mixed Finite Element Methods for Diffusion Equation
In this dissertation, we consider new approaches to the construction of meshes, discretization, and preconditioning of the resulting algebraic systems for the diffusion equation with discontinuous coefficients. In the first part, we discuss mixed finite element approximations of the diffusion equation on general polyhedral meshes. We introduce a non-conforming approximation method for the flux ...

In this paper we analyze discretization of optimal control problems governed by convection-diffusion equations which are subject to pointwise control constraints. We present a stabilization scheme which leads to improved approximate solutions even on corse meshes in the convection dominated case. Moreover, the in general different approaches “optimize-then-discretize” and “discretize-then-optim...

In this paper, a modification of finite integration method (FIM) is combined with the radial basis function (RBF) method to solve a time-fractional convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients. The FIM transforms partial differential equations into integral equations and this creates some constants of integration. Unlike the usual FIM, the proposed method computes constants of integ...

The paper studies finite element methods for the simulation of time–dependent convection–diffusion–reaction equations with small diffusion: the SUPG method, a SOLD method and two types of FEM– FCT methods. The methods are assessed, in particular with respect to the size of the spurious oscillations in the computed solutions, at a 3D example with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and ...

Adaptive finite element methods for stationary convectiondiffusion problems are designed and analyzed. The underlying discretization scheme is the Shock-capturing Streamline Diffusion method. The adaptive algorithms proposed are based on a posteriori error estimates for this method leading to reliable methods in the sense that the desired error control is guaranteed. A priori error estimates ar...
