Residual a posteriori error estimate two-grid methods for the steady Navier-Stokes equation with stream function form

Residual based on a posteriori error estimates for conforming element solutions of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with stream function form which were computed with seven recently proposed two-level method were derived. The posteriori error estimates contained additional terms in comparison to the error estimates for the solution obtained by the standard finite element method. The importance of these additional terms in the error estimates was investigated by studying their asymptotic behavior. For optimal scaled meshes, these bounds are not of higher order than of convergence of discrete solution.     

Adaptive variational multiscale method for the Stokes equations

An adaptive variational multiscale method for the Stokes equations is presented in this paper. We solve the coarse scale problem on the coarse mesh and approximate the fine scale solution by solving a series of local residual equations defined on some local fine grids, which can be implemented in parallel. In addition, we also propose a reliable local a posteriori error estimator and construct an adaptive algorithm based on the corresponding a posterior error estimate. Finally, numerical examples are presented to verify the algorithm.Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Residual‐based artificial viscosity for simulation of turbulent compressible flow using adaptive finite element methods

In this paper, we present a finite element method with a residual‐based artificial viscosity for simulation of turbulent compressible flow, with adaptive mesh refinement based on a posteriori error estimation with sensitivity information from an associated dual problem. The artificial viscosity acts as a numerical stabilization, as shock capturing, and as turbulence capturing for large eddy simulation of turbulent flow. The adaptive method resolves parts of the flow indicated by the a posteriori error estimates but leaves shocks and turbulence under‐resolved in a large eddy simulation. The method is tested for examples in 2D and 3D and is validated against experimental data. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Mesh adaptivity for the transport equation led by variational multiscale error estimators

Recently, we developed an explicit a posteriori error estimator especially suited for fluid dynamics problems solved with a stabilized method. The technology is based upon the theory that inspired stabilized methods, namely, the variational multiscale theory. The salient features of the formulation are that it can be readily implemented in existing codes, it is a very economical procedure, and it yields very accurate local error estimates uniformly from the diffusive to the advective regime. In this work, the variational multiscale error estimator is applied to develop adaptive strategies for the advection–diffusion‐reaction equation. The performance of L₁ and L₂ local error norms combined with three strategies to adapt the mesh is investigated. Emphasis is placed on flows with sharp boundary and interior layers but also attention is given to diffusion‐dominated flows. Computational results show that the method generates meshes with a smooth transition of the element size, which capture all the flow features. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Adaptive mixed least squares Galerkin/Petrov finite element method for stationary conduction convection problems

An adaptive mixed least squares Galerkin/Petrov finite element method (FEM) is developed for stationary conduction convection problems. The mixed least squares Galerkin/Petrov FEM is consistent and stable for any combination of discrete velocity and pressure spaces without requiring the Babuska-Brezzi stability condition. Using the general theory of Verfürth, the posteriori error estimates of the residual type are derived. Finally, numerical tests are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.     

An augmented velocity–vorticity–pressure formulation for the Brinkman equations

This paper deals with the analysis of a new augmented mixed finite element method in terms of vorticity, velocity, and pressure, for the Brinkman problem with nonstandard boundary conditions. The approach is based on the introduction of Galerkin least‐squares terms arising from the constitutive equation relating the aforementioned unknowns and from the incompressibility condition. We show that the resulting augmented bilinear form is continuous and elliptic, which, thanks to the Lax–Milgram theorem, and besides proving the well‐posedness of the continuous formulation, ensures the solvability and stability of the Galerkin scheme with any finite element subspace of the continuous space. In particular, Raviart–Thomas elements of any order for the velocity field, and piecewise continuous polynomials of degree k + 1 for both the vorticity and the pressure, can be utilized. A priori error estimates and the corresponding rates of convergence are also given here. Next, we derive two reliable and efficient residual‐based a posteriori error estimators for this problem. The ellipticity of the bilinear form together with the local approximation properties of the Clément interpolation operator are the main tools for showing the reliability. In turn, inverse inequalities and the localization technique based on triangle‐bubble and edge‐bubble functions are utilized to show the efficiency. Finally, several numerical results illustrating the good performance of the method, confirming the properties of the estimators and showing the behavior of the associated adaptive algorithms, are reported.

High accuracy eigensolution and its extrapolation for potential equations

From the potential theorem, the fundamental boundary eigenproblems can be converted into boundary integral equations （BIEs） with the logarithmic singularity. In this paper, mechanical quadrature methods （MQMs） are presented to obtain the eigensolutions that are used to solve Laplace＇s equations. The MQMs possess high accuracy and low computation complexity. The convergence and the stability are proved based on Anselone＇s collective and asymptotical compact theory. An asymptotic expansion with odd powers of the errors is presented. By the h3-Richardson extrapolation algorithm （EA）, the accuracy order of the approximation can be greatly improved, and an a posteriori error estimate can be obtained as the self-adaptive algorithms. The efficiency of the algorithm is illustrated by examples.     

Numerical control of two‐dimensional shock waves in dual solution domain by instant temperature disturbances

The search for the temperature disturbance causing transition between regular and Mach reflections in the dual solution domain is addressed in an optimization statement. The gradient of the discrepancy between the current and target flow fields was calculated using adjoint equations. The control was determined by gradient‐based optimization. The flow field simulation is verified via a posteriori error estimates using the solution of an additional adjoint problem. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

An efficient method for computing local quantities of interest in elasticity based on finite element error estimation

We present an efficient finite element method for computing the engineering quantities of interest that are linear functionals of displacement in elasticity based on a posteriori error estimate. The accuracy of quantities is greatly improved by adding the approximate cross inner product of errors in the primal and dual problems, which is calculated with an inexpensive gradient recovery type error estimate, to the quantities obtained from the finite element solution. With less CPU time, the accuracy of the improved quantities obtained with the proposed method on the coarse finite element mesh is similar to that of the quantities obtained from the finite element solutions on the finer mesh. Three quantities related to the local displacement, local stress and stress intensity factor are computed with the proposed method to verify its efficiency.

Additionally, we endow the scheme with an a posteriori error estimator that is reliable and efficient. Finally, we provide numerical experiments that illustrate the performance of the corresponding adaptive algorithm and support its use in practice.

A numerical comparison of two different approximations of the error in a meshless method

Meshless methods still require considerable improvement before they equal the prominence of finite elements in computer science and engineering. In the Element Free Galerkin (EFG) method, it is obviously important that the error of approximation should be estimated, as it is in the Finite Element Method (FEM).In this paper we compare two different procedures to approximate the a posteriori error for the EFG method, both procedures are recovery based errors. The performance of the two different approximations of the error is illustrated by analysing different examples for 2-D potential and elasticity problems with known analytical solutions, using regular and irregular clouds of points. For irregular clouds of points, it is recommended to use smooth transition of nodes, thus creating areas of decreasing nodal densities.     

Uncertainty quantification in a chemical system using error estimate-based mesh adaption

This paper describes a rigorous a posteriori error analysis for the stochastic solution of non-linear uncertain chemical models. The dual-based a posteriori stochastic error analysis extends the methodology developed in the deterministic finite elements context to stochastic discretization frameworks. It requires the resolution of two additional (dual) problems to yield the local error estimate. The stochastic error estimate can then be used to adapt the stochastic discretization. Different anisotropic refinement strategies are proposed, leading to a cost-efficient tool suitable for multi-dimensional problems of moderate stochastic dimension. The adaptive strategies allow both for refinement and coarsening of the stochastic discretization, as needed to satisfy a prescribed error tolerance. The adaptive strategies were successfully tested on a model for the hydrogen oxidation in supercritical conditions having 8 random parameters. The proposed methodologies are however general enough to be also applicable for a wide class of models such as uncertain fluid flows.
