We apply in this paper the weak Galerkin method to the second order parabolic differential equations based on a discrete weak gradient operator. We establish both the continuous time and the discrete time weak Galerkin finite element schemes, which allow using the totally discrete functions in approximation space and the finite element partitions of arbitrary polygons with certain shape regular...

Many important natural processes involving flow through porous media are characterized by large filtration velocity. Therefore, it is important to know when the transition from viscous to the inertial flow regime actually occurs in order to obtain accurate models for these processes. In this paper, a detailed computational study of laminar and inertial, incompressible, Newtonian fluid flow acro...

As a consequence of its particulate nature, soil exhibits a highly complex response to applied loads and deformations. Traditionally, geotechnical engineers have coupled continuum numerical analysis tools (such as the finite element method) with complex constitutive models to analyze soil response. This approach does not explicitly consider the particle-scale interactions underlying the macro-s...

the paper presents a mathematical base modeling combined to modified-winding -function-approach (mwfa) for eccentricity fault detection of a round-rotor synchronous machine. for this aim, a 6-pole machine is considered, and the machine inductances are computed by mwfa in healthy and also under eccentricity fault. a numerical discrete-time method has been proposed to machine modeling in voltage-...

This paper is concerned with the finite element method for the stochastic wave equation and the stochastic elastic equation driven by space-time white noise. For simplicity, we rewrite the two types of stochastic hyperbolic equations into a unified form. We convert the stochastic hyperbolic equation into a regularized equation by discretizing the white noise and then consider the full-discrete ...

We develop a Discrete Element Method (DEM) for elastodynamics using polyhedral elements. We show that for a given choice of forces and torques, we recover the equations of linear elastodynamics in small deformations. Furthermore, the torques and forces derive from a potential energy, and thus the global equation is an Hamiltonian dynamics. The use of an explicit symplectic time integration sche...

The finite element method can be viewed as a machine that automates the discretization of differential equations, taking as input a variational problem, a finite element and a mesh, and producing as output a system of discrete equations. However, the generality of the framework provided by the finite element method is seldom reflected in implementations (realizations), which are often specializ...

We analyze a fully discrete leapfrog/Galerkin finite element method for the numerical solution of the space fractional order (fractional for simplicity) diffusion equation. The generalized fractional derivative spaces are defined in a bounded interval. And some related properties are further discussed for the following finite element analysis. Then the fractional diffusion equation is discretiz...
