SUPERCONVERGENCE ANALYSIS FOR CUBIC TRIANGULARELEMENT OF THE FINITE ELEMENTSUPERCONVERGENCE ANALYSIS FOR CUBIC TRIANGULARELEMENT OF THE FINITE ELEMENT

In this paper, we construct a projection interpolation for cubic triangular element by using othogonal expansion triangular method. We show two fundamental formulas of estimation on a special partion and obtain a superconvergence result of 1- ∈order higher for the placement function and its tangential derivative on the third order Lobatto points and Gauss points on each edge of triangular element.

Convergence of an adaptive mixed finite element method for convection-diffusion-reaction equations

We prove the convergence of an adaptive mixed finite element method(AMFEM) for(nonsymmetric) convection-diffusion-reaction equations. The convergence result holds for the cases where convection or reaction is not present in convection- or reaction-dominated problems. A novel technique of analysis is developed by using the superconvergence of the scalar displacement variable instead of the quasi-orthogonality for the stress and displacement variables, and without marking the oscillation dependent on discrete solutions and data. We show that AMFEM is a contraction of the error of the stress and displacement variables plus some quantity. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results.

New construction and ultraconvergence of derivative recovery operator for odd-degree rectangular elements

In this paper the ultra convergence of the derivative for odd-degree rectangular elements is addressed. A new, discrete least-squares patch recovery technique is proposed to postprocess the solution derivatives. Such recovered derivatives are shown to possess ultra convergence by using projection type interpolation.

Superconvergence of tricubic block finite elements

In this paper, we first introduce interpolation operator of projection type in three dimen- sions, from which we derive weak estimates for tricubic block finite elements. Then using the estimate for the W 2, 1-seminorm of the discrete derivative Green's function and the weak estimates, we show that the tricubic block finite element solution uh and the tricubic interpolant of projection type Πh3u have superclose gradient in the pointwise sense of the L∞-norm. Finally, this supercloseness is applied to superconvergence analysis, and the global superconvergence of the finite element approximation is derived.

Stationary flow fields prediction of variable physical domain based on proper orthogonal decomposition and kriging surrogate model

In this paper a new flow field prediction method which is independent of the governing equations, is developed to predict stationary flow fields of variable physical domain. Predicted flow fields come from linear superposition of selected basis modes generated by proper orthogonal decomposition（POD）. Instead of traditional projection methods, kriging surrogate model is used to calculate the superposition coefficients through building approximate function relationships between profile geometry parameters of physical domain and these coefficients. In this context,the problem which troubles the traditional POD-projection method due to viscosity and compressibility has been avoided in the whole process. Moreover, there are no constraints for the inner product form, so two forms of simple ones are applied to improving computational efficiency and cope with variable physical domain problem. An iterative algorithm is developed to determine how many basis modes ranking front should be used in the prediction. Testing results prove the feasibility of this new method for subsonic flow field, but also prove that it is not proper for transonic flow field because of the poor predicted shock waves.

SUPERCONVERGENCE OF LEAST-SQUARES MIXED FINITE ELEMENT FOR SECOND-ORDER ELLIPTIC PROBLEMS

In this paper the least-squares mixed finite element is considered for solving second-order elliptic problems in two dimensional domains. The primary solution u and the flux σ are approximated using finite element spaces consisting of piecewise polynomials of degree k and r respectively. Based on interpolation operators and an auxiliary projection, superconvergent H1-error estimates of both the primary solution approximation uh and the flux approximation σh are obtained under the standard quasi-uniform assumption on finite element partition. The superconvergence indicates an accuracy of O(hr+2) for the least-squares mixed finite element approximation if Raviart-Thomas or Brezzi-Douglas-Fortin-Marini elements of order r are employed with optimal error estimate of O(hr+1).
