The transient flow in the sector region bounded by two intersecting planes and a circular cylinder is determined in the Stokes approximation. The plane boundaries are assumed to be at rest while the cylinder is rotating with a constant velocity starting at t = 0. The problem is solved by means of three different methods, a finite element, a finite difference, and a boundary element method. The corresponding problem in which the constant velocity boundary condition on the cylinder is replaced by a condition of constant stress is also solved by means of the finite element method.

AbstractA finite element Galerkin method for a diffusion equation with constrained energy and nonlinear boundary condition is analysed and optimal error estimates in L2 and L∞-norms are derived. These results improve upon previously derived estimates by Cannon et al. [4].

<p>We present a novel approach to the solution of the geodetic boundary value problem with an oblique derivative boundary condition by the finite element method. Namely, we propose and analyse a finite element approximation of a Laplace equation holding on a domain with an oblique derivative boundary condition given on a part of its boundary. The oblique vector in the boundary condition is split into one normal and two tangential components and derivatives in tangential directions are approximated as in the finite difference method. Then we apply the proposed numerical scheme to local gravity field modelling. For our two-dimensional testing numerical experiments, we use four nodes bilinear quadrilateral elements and for a three-dimensional problem, we use hexahedral elements with eight nodes. Practical numerical experiments are located in area of Slovakia that is given by grid points located on the Earth's surface with uniform spacing in horizontal directions. Heights of grid points are interpolated from the SRTM30PLUS topography model. An upper boundary is in the height of 240 km above a reference ellipsoid WGS84 corresponding to an average altitude of the GOCE satellite orbits. Obtained solutions are compared to DVRM05.</p>
