This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (DGFEMs) have been witnessed tremendous interest as a computational framework for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Their success is due to their extreme versatility in the design of the underlying meshes and local basis functions, while retaining key features of both (classical) finite element and finite volume methods. Somewhat surprisingly, DGFEMs on general tessellations consisting of polygonal (in 2D) or polyhedral (in 3D) element shapes have received little attention within the literature, despite the potential computational advantages. This volume introduces the basic principles of hp-version (i.e., locally varying mesh-size and polynomial order) DGFEMs over meshes consisting of polygonal or polyhedral element shapes, presents their error analysis, and includes an extensive collection of numerical experiments. The extreme flexibility provided by the locally variable elemen t-shapes, element-sizes, and element-orders is shown to deliver substantial computational gains in several practical scenarios.
Download or read book Finite Element and Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Transient Wave Equations written by Gary Cohen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents numerical methods for solving transient wave equations (i.e. in time domain). More precisely, it provides an overview of continuous and discontinuous finite element methods for these equations, including their implementation in physical models, an extensive description of 2D and 3D elements with different shapes, such as prisms or pyramids, an analysis of the accuracy of the methods and the study of the Maxwell’s system and the important problem of its spurious free approximations. After recalling the classical models, i.e. acoustics, linear elastodynamics and electromagnetism and their variational formulations, the authors present a wide variety of finite elements of different shapes useful for the numerical resolution of wave equations. Then, they focus on the construction of efficient continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods and study their accuracy by plane wave techniques and a priori error estimates. A chapter is devoted to the Maxwell’s system and the important problem of its spurious-free approximations. Treatment of unbounded domains by Absorbing Boundary Conditions (ABC) and Perfectly Matched Layers (PML) is described and analyzed in a separate chapter. The two last chapters deal with time approximation including local time-stepping and with the study of some complex models, i.e. acoustics in flow, gravity waves and vibrating thin plates. Throughout, emphasis is put on the accuracy and computational efficiency of the methods, with attention brought to their practical aspects.This monograph also covers in details the theoretical foundations and numerical analysis of these methods. As a result, this monograph will be of interest to practitioners, researchers, engineers and graduate students involved in the numerical simulationof waves.
Download or read book Discontinuous Galerkin Method written by Vít Dolejší and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of the book is the mathematical theory of the discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM), which is a relatively new technique for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. The book is concerned with the DGM developed for elliptic and parabolic equations and its applications to the numerical simulation of compressible flow. It deals with the theoretical as well as practical aspects of the DGM and treats the basic concepts and ideas of the DGM, as well as the latest significant findings and achievements in this area. The main benefit for readers and the book’s uniqueness lie in the fact that it is sufficiently detailed, extensive and mathematically precise, while at the same time providing a comprehensible guide through a wide spectrum of discontinuous Galerkin techniques and a survey of the latest efficient, accurate and robust discontinuous Galerkin schemes for the solution of compressible flow.
Download or read book Discontinuous Galerkin Methods written by Bernardo Cockburn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A class of finite element methods, the Discontinuous Galerkin Methods (DGM), has been under rapid development recently and has found its use very quickly in such diverse applications as aeroacoustics, semi-conductor device simula tion, turbomachinery, turbulent flows, materials processing, MHD and plasma simulations, and image processing. While there has been a lot of interest from mathematicians, physicists and engineers in DGM, only scattered information is available and there has been no prior effort in organizing and publishing the existing volume of knowledge on this subject. In May 24-26, 1999 we organized in Newport (Rhode Island, USA), the first international symposium on DGM with equal emphasis on the theory, numerical implementation, and applications. Eighteen invited speakers, lead ers in the field, and thirty-two contributors presented various aspects and addressed open issues on DGM. In this volume we include forty-nine papers presented in the Symposium as well as a survey paper written by the organiz ers. All papers were peer-reviewed. A summary of these papers is included in the survey paper, which also provides a historical perspective of the evolution of DGM and its relation to other numerical methods. We hope this volume will become a major reference in this topic. It is intended for students and researchers who work in theory and application of numerical solution of convection dominated partial differential equations. The papers were written with the assumption that the reader has some knowledge of classical finite elements and finite volume methods.
Download or read book Adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Non linear Reactive Flows written by Murat Uzunca and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this monograph is the development of space-time adaptive methods to solve the convection/reaction dominated non-stationary semi-linear advection diffusion reaction (ADR) equations with internal/boundary layers in an accurate and efficient way. After introducing the ADR equations and discontinuous Galerkin discretization, robust residual-based a posteriori error estimators in space and time are derived. The elliptic reconstruction technique is then utilized to derive the a posteriori error bounds for the fully discrete system and to obtain optimal orders of convergence.As coupled surface and subsurface flow over large space and time scales is described by (ADR) equation the methods described in this book are of high importance in many areas of Geosciences including oil and gas recovery, groundwater contamination and sustainable use of groundwater resources, storing greenhouse gases or radioactive waste in the subsurface.
Download or read book Mesh Free and Finite Element Based Methods for Structural Mechanics Applications written by Nicholas Fantuzzi and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of solving complex engineering problems has always been a major topic in all industrial fields, such as aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering. The use of numerical methods has increased exponentially in the last few years, due to modern computers in the field of structural mechanics. Moreover, a wide range of numerical methods have been presented in the literature for solving such problems. Structural mechanics problems are dealt with using partial differential systems of equations that might be solved by following the two main classes of methods: Domain-decomposition methods or the so-called finite element methods and mesh-free methods where no decomposition is carried out. Both methodologies discretize a partial differential system into a set of algebraic equations that can be easily solved by computer implementation. The aim of the present Special Issue is to present a collection of recent works on these themes and a comparison of the novel advancements of both worlds in structural mechanics applications.

Download or read book An Adaptive Space time Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Reservoir Flows written by Yashod Savithru Jayasinghe and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical simulation has become a vital tool for predicting engineering quantities of interest in reservoir flows. However, the general lack of autonomy and reliability prevents most numerical methods from being used to their full potential in engineering analysis. This thesis presents work towards the development of an efficient and robust numerical framework for solving reservoir flow problems in a fully-automated manner. In particular, a space-time discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method is used to achieve a high-order discretization on a fully unstructured space-time mesh, instead of a conventional time-marching approach. Anisotropic mesh adaptation is performed to reduce the error of a specified output of interest, by using a posteriori error estimates from the dual weighted residual method to drive a metric-based mesh optimization algorithm. An analysis of the adjoint equations, boundary conditions and solutions of the Buckley-Leverett and two-phase flow equations is presented, with the objective of developing a theoretical understanding of the adjoint behaviors of porous media models. The intuition developed from this analysis is useful for understanding mesh adaptation behaviors in more complex flow problems. This work also presents a new bottom-hole pressure well model for reservoir simulation, which relates the volumetric flow rate of the well to the reservoir pressure through a distributed source term that is independent of the discretization. Unlike Peaceman-type models which require the definition of an equivalent well-bore radius dependent on local grid length scales, this distributed well model is directly applicable to general discretizations on unstructured meshes. We show that a standard DG diffusive flux discretization of the two-phase flow equations in mass conservation form results in an unstable semi-discrete system in the advection-dominant limit, and hence propose modifications to linearly stabilize the discretization. Further, an artificial viscosity method is presented for the Buckley-Leverett and two-phase flow equations, as a means of mitigating Gibbs oscillations in high-order discretizations and ensuring convergence to physical solutions. Finally, the proposed adaptive solution framework is demonstrated on compressible two-phase flow problems in homogeneous and heterogeneous reservoirs. Comparisons with conventional time-marching methods show that the adaptive space-time DG method is significantly more efficient at predicting output quantities of interest, in terms of degrees-of-freedom required, execution time and parallel scalability.

Download or read book Anisotropic hp Mesh Adaptation Methods written by Vít Dolejší and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mesh adaptation methods can have a profound impact on the numerical solution of partial differential equations. If devised and implemented properly, adaptation significantly reduces the size of the algebraic systems resulting from the discretization, while ensuring that applicable error tolerances are met. In this monograph, drawing from many years of experience, the authors give a comprehensive presentation of metric-based anisotropic hp-mesh adaptation methods. A large part of this monograph is devoted to the derivation of computable interpolation error estimates on simplicial meshes, which take into account the geometry of mesh elements as well as the anisotropic features of the interpolated function. These estimates are then used for the optimization of corresponding finite element spaces in a variety of settings. Both steady and time dependent problems are treated, as well as goal-oriented adaptation. Practical aspects of implementation are also explored, including several algorithms. Many numerical experiments using the discontinuous Galerkin method are presented to illustrate the performance of the adaptive techniques. This monograph is intended for scientists and researchers, including doctoral and master-level students. Portions of the text can also be used as study material for advanced university lectures concerning a posteriori error analysis and mesh adaptation.
Download or read book Galerkin Finite Element Methods for Parabolic Problems written by Vidar Thomee and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My purpose in this monograph is to present an essentially self-contained account of the mathematical theory of Galerkin finite element methods as applied to parabolic partial differential equations. The emphases and selection of topics reflects my own involvement in the field over the past 25 years, and my ambition has been to stress ideas and methods of analysis rather than to describe the most general and farreaching results possible. Since the formulation and analysis of Galerkin finite element methods for parabolic problems are generally based on ideas and results from the corresponding theory for stationary elliptic problems, such material is often included in the presentation. The basis of this work is my earlier text entitled Galerkin Finite Element Methods for Parabolic Problems, Springer Lecture Notes in Mathematics, No. 1054, from 1984. This has been out of print for several years, and I have felt a need and been encouraged by colleagues and friends to publish an updated version. In doing so I have included most of the contents of the 14 chapters of the earlier work in an updated and revised form, and added four new chapters, on semigroup methods, on multistep schemes, on incomplete iterative solution of the linear algebraic systems at the time levels, and on semilinear equations. The old chapters on fully discrete methods have been reworked by first treating the time discretization of an abstract differential equation in a Hilbert space setting, and the chapter on the discontinuous Galerkin method has been completely rewritten.
