Towards a compact high-order method for non-linear hyperbolic systems. I: The Hermite Least-Square Monotone (HLSM) reconstruction

A new Hermite Least-Square Monotone (HLSM) reconstruction to calculate accurately complex flows on non-uniform meshes is presented.     

An implicit high order finite volume scheme for the solution of 3D Navier–Stokes equations with new discretization of diffusive terms

The computation of three-dimensional viscous flows on complex geometries requiring distorted meshes is of great interest. This paper presents a finite volume solver using a quadratic reconstruction of the unknowns for the advective fluxes computation, and a conservative and consistent discretization of the diffusive terms, based on an extended version of the Coirier's diamond path. A fully implicit time integration procedure is employed with a preconditioned matrix-free GMRES solver.     

Additive Schwarz domain decomposition methods for elliptic problems on unstructured meshes

We give several additive Schwarz domain decomposition methods for solving finite element problems which arise from the discretizations of elliptic problems on general unstructured meshes in two and three dimensions. Our theory requires no assumption (for the main results) on the substructures which constitute the whole domain, so each substructure can be of arbitrary shape and of different size. The global coarse mesh is allowed to be non-nested to the fine grid on which the discrete problem is to be solved and both the coarse meshes and the fine meshes need not be quasi-uniform. In this general setting, our algorithms have the same optimal convergence rate of the usual domain decomposition methods on structured meshes. The condition numbers of the preconditioned systems depend only on the (possibly small) overlap of the substructures and the size of the coares grid, but is independent of the sizes of the subdomains.Revised version on Sept. 20, 1994.

三维各向异性非协调Carey有限元的收敛性分析

In this paper, the convergence analysis of the famous Carey element in 3-D is studied on anisotropic meshes. The optimal error estimate is obtained based on some novel techniques and approach, which extends its applications.     

Convergence and superconvergence analysis of an anisotropic nonconforming finite element methods for semisingularly perturbed reaction–diffusion problems

The numerical approximation by a lower‐order anisotropic nonconforming finite element on appropriately graded meshes are considered for solving semisingular perturbation problems. The quasi‐optimal‐order error estimates are proved in the ε‐weighted H¹‐norm valid uniformly, up to a logarithmic factor, in the singular perturbation parameter. By using the interpolation postprocessing technique, the global superconvergent error estimates in ε‐weighted H¹‐norm are obtained. Numerical experiments are given to demonstrate validity of our theoretical analysis. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Low order Crouzeix-Raviart type nonconforming finite element methods for the 3D time-dependent Maxwell’s equations

Two Crouzeix-Raviart type nonconforming elements are used in a finite element scheme as well in a mixed finite element scheme for time-dependent Maxwell’s equations in three dimensions. The error estimates are obtained under anisotropic meshes, which are the same as those for conforming elements under regular meshes.

Phase-Accuracy Comparisons and Improved Far-Field Estimates for 3-D Edge Elements on Tetrahedral Meshes

Edge-element methods have proved very effective for 3-D electromagnetic computations and are widely used on unstructured meshes. However, the accuracy of standard edge elements can be criticised because of their low order. This paper analyses discrete dispersion relations together with numerical propagation accuracy to determine the effect of tetrahedral shape on the phase accuracy of standard 3-D edge-element approximations in comparison to other methods. Scattering computations for the sphere obtained with edge elements are compared with results obtained with vertex elements, and a new formulation of the far-field integral approximations for use with edge elements is shown to give improved cross sections over conventional formulations.     

Superconvergence analysis of Wilson element on anisotropic meshes

The Wilson finite element method is considered to solve a class of twodimensional second order elliptic boundary value problems. By using of the particular structure of the element and some new techniques, we obtain the superclose and global superconvergence on anisotropic meshes. Numerical example is also given to confirm our theoretical analysis.     

A method for computing curved meshes via the linear elasticity analogy,application to fluid dynamics problems

We propose and analyze an algorithm for the robust construction of curved meshes in two and three dimensions. The meshes are made of curved simplexes. The algorithm starts from a mesh made of straight simplexes, and using a linear elasticity analogy applied on well‐chosen data, one can generate a curved mesh. Note that if the initial mesh has a boundary layer, this method allows to conserve it on the final mesh. This algorithm is used on several airfoils in two and three dimensions, including a turbulent M6 wing. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
