The fractional step method is a technique that results in a computationally-efficient implementation of Navier–Stokes solvers. In the finite element-based models, it is often applied in conjunction with implicit time integration schemes. On the other hand, in the framework of finite difference and finite volume methods, the fractional step method had been successfully applied to obtain predicto...

Finite element and finite difference discretizations for evolutionary convection-diffusion-reaction equations in two and three dimensions are studied which give solutions without or with small underand overshoots. The studied methods include a linear and a nonlinear FEM-FCT scheme, simple upwinding, an ENO scheme of order 3, and a fifth order WENO scheme. Both finite element methods are combine...

In this paper, the global superconvergence is analysed on two schemes (a mixed finite element scheme and a finite element scheme) for Maxwell’s equations in R3. Such a supercovergence analysis is achieved by means of the technique of integral identity (which has been used in the supercovergence analysis for many other equations and schemes) on a rectangular mesh, and then are generalized into m...

This paper investigates the application of the Red-Black Half-Sweep Gauss-Seidel (HSGS-RB) method by using the half-sweep triangle finite element approximation equation based on the Galerkin scheme to solve two-dimensional Poisson equations. Formulations of the full-sweep and half-sweep triangle finite element approaches in using this scheme are also derived. Some numerical experiments are cond...

this research work is devoted to the development of a mathematical model for the simulation of the flow of polymeric melts through the die region of extruders. a set of governing equations are solved using finite element method. standard galerkin technique is used in conjunction with the mixed scheme to solve the flow equation. due to the non-linear nature of global equations, the picard iterat...

Abstract. This paper derives a new scheme for the mixed finite element method for the biharmonic equation in which the flow function is approximated by piecewise quadratic polynomial and vortex function by piecewise linear polynomials. Assuming that the partition, with triangles as elements, is quasi-uniform, then the proposed scheme can achieve the approximation order that is observed by the C...

Using the abstract framework of [9] we analyze a residual a posteriori error estimator for space-time finite element discretizations of quasilinear parabolic pdes. The estimator gives global upper and local lower bounds on the error of the numerical solution. The finite element discretizations in particular cover the so-called θ-scheme, which includes the implicit and explicit Euler methods and...
