Abstract. This paper deals with the numerical approximation of the 2D and 3D Navier-Stokes equations, satisfying nonstandard boundary conditions. This lays on the finite element discretisation of the corresponding Stokes problem, which is achieved through a three-fields stabilized mixed formulation. A priori and a posteriori error bounds are established for the nonlinear problem, ascertaining the convergence of the method. Finally, numerical tests are presented, including mesh refinement via error indicators.
Abstract.In this paper, we are interested in the modelling and the finite element approximation of a petroleum reservoir, in axisymmetric form. The flow in the porous medium is governed by the Darcy-Forchheimer equation coupled with a rather exhaustive energy equation. The semi-discretized problem is put under a mixed variational formulation, whose approximation is achieved by means of conservative Raviart-Thomas elements for the fluxes and of piecewise constant elements for the pressure and the temperature. The discrete problem thus obtained is well-posed and a posteriori error estimates are also established. Numerical tests are presented validating the developed code.Mathematics Subject Classification. 35Q35, 65N15, 65N30, 76S05.
Abstract. We propose a three-field formulation for efficiently solving a twodimensional Stokes problem in the case of nonstandard boundary conditions. More specifically, we consider the case where the pressure and either normal or tangential components of the velocity are prescribed at some given parts of the boundary. The proposed computational methodology consists in reformulating the considered boundary value problem via a mixed-type formulation where the pressure and the vorticity are the principal unknowns while the velocity is the Lagrange multiplier. The obtained formulation is then discretized and a convergence analysis is performed. A priori error estimates are established, and some numerical results are presented to highlight the perfomance of the proposed computational methodology.
