2-D Numerical Modeling of Bioremediation in Heterogeneous Saturated Soils

This paper presents a numerical solution approach for an existing model for simulating transport and biodegradation in saturated porous media. The discrete approximation makes use of an appropriate blending of mixed-hybrid finite-element and shock-capturing finite-volume schemes. The model is applied for simulating enhanced-bioremediation of highly heterogeneous porous media contaminated by organic pollutants. Injection of water enriched in dissolved oxygen (DO) is considered for accelerating contaminant degradation and concentration of both organic pollutant (substrate) and DO. Heterogeneity is found to produce pools of contaminants which strongly affect DO delivery and, then, the degradation of the organic contaminant. A set of numerical results on representative situations illustrates the effectiveness and the robustness of the present approach. The computational efficiency of the present approach is also estimated in terms of CPU costs and memory requirements.

Galerkin methods for a semilinear parabolic problem with nonlocal boundary conditions

We formulate and analyze a Crank-Nicolson finite element Galerkin method and an algebraically-linear extrapolated Crank-Nicolson method for the numerical solution of a semilinear parabolic problem with nonlocal boundary conditions. For each method, optimal error estimates are derived in the maximum norm.Dedicated to Professor J.

A least-squares finite element method for time-dependent incompressible flows with thermal convection

The time-dependent Navier–Stokes equations and the energy balance equation for an incompressible, constant property fluid in the Boussinesq approximation are solved by a least-squares finite element method based on a velocity–pressure–vorticity–temperature–heat-flux ( u –P–ω–T– q ) formulation discretized by backward finite differencing in time. The discretization scheme leads to the minimization of the residual in the l²-norm for each time step. Isoparametric bilinear quadrilateral elements and reduced integration are employed. Three examples, thermally driven cavity flow at Rayleigh numbers up to 10⁶, lid-driven cavity flow at Reynolds numbers up to 10⁴ and flow over a square obstacle at Reynolds number 200, are presented to validate the method.

A NOTE ON C~1-CURVED FINITE ELEMENT

This paper shows that the C1-curved finite element developed by Bernadon in general can not satisfy the essential boundary conditions on approximate boundary. Furthermore, a modified C1-curved finite element is given, which is compatible with the element of Argyris triangle and can satisfy the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions onapproximate boundary.     

Analytical removal of singularity and direct evaluation of singular integrals in 3-D elastoplastic finite deformation analysis by BEM

As a further development of the present authors' research work [1,2], in this paper a method of the so-called quadratic pentahedron polar co-ordinate transformation and analytical removal of singularity of Cauchy principal value singular integrals is proposed to evaluate the strongly singular integrals in the sense of Cauchy principal values and the weakly singular integrals over quadratic internal cells in 3-D elastoplastic finite deformation analysis by BEM. First, a quadratic pentahedron polar co-ordinate transformation technique is used to reduce the order of singularity of the singular integrals. Then, a form of Gauss' theorem is introduced to remove the singularity in the Cauchy principal value singular integrals analytically. Therefore, the evaluation of all those strongly and weakly singular integrals can be carried out by standard Gaussian quadrature accurately and efficiently. Numerical examples of the 3-D elastoplastic problem and 3-D finite deformation problem are given to demonstrate that the method possesses good accuracy and numerical stability, and is convenient to implement. The method in this paper can be applied extensively to evaluating the singular integrals over cubic and higher order elements.
