Virtual Element Methods for hyperbolic problems on polygonal meshes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In the present paper we develop the Virtual Element Method for hyperbolic problems on polygonal meshes, considering the linear wave equations as our model problem. After presenting the semi-discrete scheme, we derive the convergence estimates in H^1 semi-

Fully discrete finite element data assimilation method for the heat equation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We consider a finite element discretization for the reconstruction of the final state of the heat equation, when the initial data is unknown, but additional data is given in a sub domain in the space time.

A posteriori error control for fully discrete Crank–Nicolson schemes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We derive residual-based a posteriori error estimates of optimal order for fully discrete approximations for linear parabolic problems. The time discretization uses the Crank--Nicolson method, and the space discretization uses finite element spaces that ...

Finite element exterior calculus for parabolic problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper, we consider the extension of the finite element exterior calculus from elliptic problems, in which the Hodge Laplacian is an appropriate model problem, to parabolic problems, for which we take the Hodge heat equation as our model problem ...

Pointwise best approximation results for Galerkin finite element solutions of parabolic problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we establish a best approximation property of fully discrete Galerkin finite element solutions of second order parabolic problems on convex polygonal and polyhedral domains in the $L^\infty$ norm.

Analysis of a Darcy-Cahn-Hilliard Diffuse Interface Model for the Hele-Shaw Flow and its Fully Discrete Finite Element Approximation

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper we present PDE and finite element analyses for a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) consisting of the Darcy equation and the Cahn-Hilliard equation, which arises as a diffuse interface model for the two phase Hele-Shaw flow. We

Dual virtual element method for discrete fractures networks

open access: yes, 2017
Discrete fracture networks is a key ingredient in the simulation of physical processes which involve fluid flow in the underground, when the surrounding rock matrix is considered impervious.

Dynamic mesh refinement for discrete models of jet electro-hydrodynamics

open access: yes, 2016
Nowadays, several models of unidimensional fluid jets exploit discrete element methods. In some cases, as for models aiming at describing the electrospinning nanofabrication process of polymer fibers, discrete element methods suffer a non constant ...

A study of fragmentation processes using a discrete element method

open access: yes, 1995
We present a model of solids made from polygonal cells connected via beams. We calculate the macroscopic elastic moduli from the beam and cell parameters. This modellisation is particularly suited for the simulation of fragmentation processes.
