A streamline diffusion nonconforming finite element method for the time-dependent linearized Navier-Stokes equations

A nonconforming finite element method of finite difference streamline diffusion type is proposed to solve the time-dependent linearized Navier-Stokes equations. The backward Euler scheme is used for time discretization. Crouzeix-Raviart nonconforming finite element approximation, namely, nonconforming （P1）2 - P0 element, is used for the velocity and pressure fields with the streamline diffusion technique to cope with usual instabilities caused by the convection and time terms. Stability and error estimates are derived with suitable norms.

A STABILIZED CRANK-NICOLSON MIXED FINITE VOLUME ELEMENT FORMULATION FOR THE NON-STATIONARY PARABOLIZED NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

A time semi-discrete Crank-Nicolson （CN） formulation with second-order time accuracy for the non-stationary parabolized Navier-Stokes equations is firstly established. And then, a fully discrete stabilized CN mixed finite volume element （SCNMFVE） formu- lation based on two local Gaussian integrals and parameter-free with the second-order time accuracy is established directly from the time semi-discrete CN formulation so that it could avoid the discussion for semi-discrete SCNMFVE formulation with respect to spatial wriables and its theoretical analysis becomes very simple. Finally, the error estimates of SCNMFVE solutions are provided.

Global Attractors and Asymptotic Smoothing Effect for Navier-Stokes Equations with Linear Damping on R^2

This paper studies the long time behavior of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations with linear damping on R^2. The authors prove the existence of L^2-global attractor and Hi-global attractor by showing that the corresponding semigroup is asymptotically compact. Thereafter, they establish that the two attractors are the same and thus reveal the asymptotic smoothing effect of the solutions.

A New Finite Volume Element Formulation for the Non-Stationary Navier-Stokes Equations

A semi-discrete scheme about time for the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations is presented firstly,then a new fully discrete finite volume element(FVE)formulation based on macroelement is directly established from the semi-discrete scheme about time.And the error estimates for the fully discrete FVE solutions are derived by means of the technique of the standard finite element method.It is shown by numerical experiments that the numerical results are consistent with theoretical conclusions.Moreover,it is shown that the FVE method is feasible and efficient for finding the numerical solutions of the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations and it is one of the most effective numerical methods among the FVE formulation,the finite element formulation,and the finite difference scheme.

The Crouzeix-Raviart Type Nonconforming Finite Element Method for the Nonstationary Navier-Stokes Equations on Anisotropic Meshes

This paper is devoted to study the Crouzeix-Raviart （C-R） type nonconforming linear triangular finite element method （FEM） for the nonstationary Navier-Stokes equations on anisotropic meshes. By intro- ducing auxiliary finite element spaces, the error estimates for the velocity in the L2-norm and energy norm, as well as for the pressure in the L2-norm are derived.

Unconditional Optimal Error Estimates for the Transient Navier-Stokes Equations with Damping

In this paper,the transient Navier-Stokes equations with damping are considered.Firstly,the semi-discrete scheme is discussed and optimal error estimates are derived.Secondly,a linearized backward Euler scheme is proposed.By the error split technique,the Stokes operator and the H^(-1)-norm estimate,unconditional optimal error estimates for the velocity in the norms L^(∞)(L^(2)) and L^(∞)(H^(1)),and the pressure in the norm L^(∞)(L^(2))are deduced.Finally,two numerical examples are provided to confirm the theoretical analysis.

The Effects of Rotation and Salt Concentration On Thermal Convection In a Linear Magneto-Fluid Layer Overlying a Porous Layer

A linear stability analysis is applied to a system consisting of a linear magneto-fluid layer overlying a porous layer affected by rotation and salt concentration on both layers. The flow in the fluid layer is governed by Navier-Stokes’s equations and while governed by Darcy-Brinkman’s law in the porous medium. Numerical solutions are obtained using Legendre polynomials. These solutions are studied through two modes of instability: stationary instability and overstability when the heat and the salt concentration are effected from above and below.

Semi-Implicit Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Viscous Compressible Flows

We deal with the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations describing a motion of viscous compressible fluids.In order to obtain a sufficiently stable higher order scheme with respect to the time and space coordinates,we develop a combination of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element(DGFE)method for the space discretization and the backward difference formulae(BDF)for the time discretization.Since the resulting discrete problem leads to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations at each time step,we employ suitable linearizations of inviscid as well as viscous fluxes which give a linear algebraic problem at each time step.Finally,the resulting BDF-DGFE scheme is applied to steady as well as unsteady flows and achieved results are compared with reference data.

DECOUPLED, ENERGY STABLE SCHEME FOR HYDRODYNAMIC ALLEN-CAHN PHASE FIELD MOVING CONTACT LINE MODEL

In this paper, we present an efficient energy stable scheme to solve a phase field model incorporating contact line condition. Instead of the usually used Cahn-Hilliard type phase equation, we adopt the Allen-Cahn type phase field model with the static contact line boundary condition that coupled with incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with Navier boundary condition. The projection method is used to deal with the Navier-Stokes equa- tions and an auxiliary function is introduced for the non-convex Ginzburg-Landau bulk potential. We show that the scheme is linear, decoupled and energy stable. Moreover, we prove that fully discrete scheme is also energy stable. An efficient finite element spatial discretization method is implemented to verify the accuracy and efficiency of proposed schemes. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme is very efficient and accurate.
