Stabilization meshless method for convection-dominated problems

It is weN-known that the standard Galerkin is not ideally suited to deal with the spatial discretization of convection-dominated problems. In this paper, several techniques are proposed to overcome the instabilitY issues in convection-dominated problems in the simulation with a meshless method. These stable techniques included nodal refinement, enlargement of the nodal influence domain, full upwind meshless technique and adaptive upwind meshless technique. Numerical results for sample problems show that these techniques are effective in solving convection-dominated problems, and the adaptive upwind meshless technique is the most effective method of all.

NUMERICAL METHOD FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL NONLINEAR CONVECTION-DOMINATED PROBLEM OF DYNAMICS OF FLUIDS IN POROUS MEDIA

For the three-dimensional convection-dominated problem of dynamics of fluids in porous media, the second order upwind finite difference fractional steps schemes applicable to parallel arithmetic are put forward. Fractional steps techniques are needed to convert a multi-dimensional problem into a series of successive one-dimensional problems. Some techniques, such as calculus of variations, energy method, multiplicative commutation rule of difference operators, decomposition of high order difference operators, and the theory of prior estimates are adopted. Optimal order estimates are derived to determine the error in the second order approximate solution. These methods have already been applied to the numerical simulation of migration-accumulation of oil resources and predicting the consequences of seawater intrusion and protection projects.     

Two-grid partition of unity method for second order elliptic problems

A two-grid partition of unity method for second order elliptic problems is proposed and analyzed. The standard two-grid method is a local and parallel method usually leading to a discontinuous solution in the entire computational domain. Partition of unity method is employed to glue all the local solutions together to get the global continuous one, which is optimal in HI-norm. Furthermore, it is shown that the L^2 error can be improved by using the coarse grid correction. Numerical experiments are reported to support the theoretical results.

三维势流场的比例边界有限元求解方法

比例边界有限元法(SBFEM)是线性偏微分方程的一种新的数值求解方法。该方法只对计算域边界利用Galerkin方法进行数值离散,相对于有限元方法(FEM)减少了一个空间坐标的维数,而在减少的空间坐标方向利用解析方法进行求解;相对于边界元法(BEM),比例边界有限元方法不需要基本解,避免了奇异积分的计算,所以它结合了有限元和边界元方法的优点。本文建立了利用比例边界有限元法求解三维Laplace方程的数值模型并用于计算三维物体周围的水流场,将计算结果与解析解和边界元方法进行了对比,结果表明此方法可以很好地模拟水流场,且具有较高的计算精度。

Solution of shallow-water equations using least-squares finite-element method

A least-squares finite-element method （LSFEM） for the non-conservative shallow-water equations is presented. The model is capable of handling complex topography, steady and unsteady flows, subcritical and supercritical flows, and flows with smooth and sharp gradient changes. Advantages of the model include： （1） sources terms, such as the bottom slope, surface stresses and bed frictions, can be treated easily without any special treatment; （2） upwind scheme is no needed; （3） a single approximating space can be used for all variables, and its choice of approximating space is not subject to the Ladyzhenskaya-Babuska-Brezzi （LBB） condition; and （4） the resulting system of equations is symmetric and positive-definite （SPD） which can be solved efficiently with the preconditioned conjugate gradient method. The model is verified with flow over a bump, tide induced flow, and dam-break. Computed results are compared with analytic solutions or other numerical results, and show the model is conservative and accurate. The model is then used to simulate flow past a circular cylinder. Important flow charac-teristics, such as variation of water surface around the cylinder and vortex shedding behind the cylinder are investigated. Computed results compare well with experiment data and other numerical results.     

Least-squares finite-element method for shallow-water equations with source terms

Numerical solution of shallow-water equations （SWE） has been a challenging task because of its nonlinear hyperbolic nature, admitting discontinuous solution, and the need to satisfy the C-property. The presence of source terms in momentum equations, such as the bottom slope and friction of bed, compounds the difficulties further. In this paper, a least-squares finite-element method for the space discretization and θ-method for the time integration is developed for the 2D non-conservative SWE including the source terms. Advantages of the method include： the source terms can be approximated easily with interpolation functions, no upwind scheme is needed, as well as the resulting system equations is symmetric and positive-definite, therefore, can be solved efficiently with the conjugate gradient method. The method is applied to steady and unsteady flows, subcritical and transcritical flow over a bump, 1D and 2D circular dam-break, wave past a circular cylinder, as well as wave past a hump. Computed results show good C-property, conservation property and compare well with exact solutions and other numerical results for flows with weak and mild gradient changes, but lead to inaccurate predictions for flows with strong gradient changes and discontinuities.     

On finite-element solution of spatial thermoviscoelastoplastic problems

A finite-element algorithm is proposed for the analysis of the thermoviscoelastoplastic stress-strain state of bodies under complex loading (thermal and mechanical). It is assumed that an arbitrary element of the body deforms along a rectilinear or slightly curved path. The three-dimensional stress-strain state of the body’s elements is determined using the iterative method of additional strains. The technique is tested by analyzing the three-dimensional viscoelastic stress-strain state of a hollow cylinder and the thermoplastic state of a disk __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 5, pp. 16–25, May 2006.     

A dynamic injection operator in a multigrid solution of convection-diffusion equations

A multigrid method is studied for the solution of a linear system resulting from the high-order nine-point discretization of the convection-diffusion equations. The residual injection operator is used as a substitute for the usual full-weighting in the multigrid process. A heuristic analysis is given to obtain a dynamic injection operator that is cost-effective for both diffusion- and convection-dominated problems. Numerical experiments are employed to test the stability and efficiency of the proposed method. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The boundary layer method for the solution of singular perturbation problem for the parabolic partial differential equation

In this paper, we discuss the singular perturbation problem of the parabolic partial differential equation. As usual, we must reduce the mesh size in the neighbourhood of the boundary layer so that typical feature of the boundary layer will not be lost. Then we need very large operational quantity when mesh sizes are getting too small. Now we propose the boundary layer scheme, which need not take very fine mesh size in the neighbourhood of the boundary layer. Numerical examples show that the accuracy can be satisfied with moderate step size.

Global solution of the inverse problem for a class of nonlinear evolution equations of dispersive type

The inverse problem for a class of nonlinear evolution equations of dispersive type was reduced to Cauchy problem of nonlinear evolution equation in an abstract space. By means of the semigroup method and equipping equivalent norm technique, the existence and uniqueness theorem of global solution was obtained for this class of abstract evolution equations, and was applied to the inverse problem discussed here. The existence and uniqueness theorem of global solution was given for this class of nonlinear evolution equations of dispersive type. The results extend and generalize essentially the related results of the existence and uniqueness of local solution presented by YUAN Zhong-xin.
