Anisotropic mesh generation methods based on ACVT and natural metric for anisotropic elliptic equation

Anisotropic meshes are known to be well-suited for problems which exhibit anisotropic solution features. Defining an appropriate metric tensor and designing an efficient algorithm for anisotropic mesh gen- eration are two important aspects of the anisotropic mesh methodology. In this paper, we are concerned with the natural metric tensor for use in anisotropic mesh generation for anisotropic elliptic problems. We provide an algorithm to generate anisotropic meshes under the given metric tensor. We show that the inverse of the anisotropic diffusion matrix of the anisotropic elliptic problem is a natural metric tensor for the anisotropic mesh generation in three aspects： better discrete algebraic systems, more accurate finite element solution and superconvergence on the mesh nodes. Various numerical examples demonstrating the effectiveness are presented.

CONVERGENCE OF A MIXED FINITE ELEMENT FOR THE STOKES PROBLEM ON ANISOTROPIC MESHES

The main aim of this paper is to study the convergence properties of a low order mixed finite element for the Stokes problem under anisotropic meshes. We discuss the anisotropic convergence and superconvergence independent of the aspect ratio. Without the shape regularity assumption and inverse assumption on the meshes, the optimal error estimates and natural superconvergence at central points are obtained. The global superconvergence for the gradient of the velocity and the pressure is derived with the aid of a suitable postprocessing method. Furthermore, we develop a simple method to obtain the superclose properties which improves the results of the previous works .

Mathematical Principles of Anisotropic Mesh Adaptation

Mesh adaptation is studied from the mesh control point of view.Two principles,equidistribution and alignment,are obtained and found to be necessary and sufficient for a complete control of the size,shape,and orientation of mesh elements.A key component in these principles is the monitor function,a symmetric and positive definite matrix used for specifying the mesh information.A monitor function is defined based on interpolation error in a way with which an error bound is minimized on a mesh satisfying the equidistribution and alignment conditions.Algorithms for generating meshes satisfying the conditions are developed and two-dimensional numerical results are presented.

An Edge-Based Anisotropic Mesh Refinement Algorithm and its Application to Interface Problems

Based on an error estimate in terms of element edge vectors on arbitrary unstructured simplex meshes,we propose a new edge-based anisotropic mesh refinement algorithm.As the mesh adaptation indicator,the error estimate involves only the gradient of error rather than higher order derivatives.The preferred refinement edge is chosen to reduce the maximal term in the error estimate.The algorithm is implemented in both two-and three-dimensional cases,and applied to the singular function interpolation and the elliptic interface problem.The numerical results demonstrate that the convergence order obtained by using the proposed anisotropic mesh refinement algorithm can be higher than that given by the isotropic one.
