The focus of this paper is on developing a virtual element method (VEM) for Darcy and Brinkman equations. In [L. Beirão da Veiga, C. Lovadina and G. Vacca, ESAIM Math. Model. Numer. Anal. 51 (2017)], we presented a family of virtual elements for Stokes equations and we defined a new virtual element space of velocities such that the associated discrete kernel is pointwise divergence-free. We use a slightly different virtual element space having two fundamental properties: the [Formula: see text]-projection onto [Formula: see text] is exactly computable on the basis of the degrees of freedom, and the associated discrete kernel is still pointwise divergence-free. The resulting numerical scheme for the Darcy equation has optimal order of convergence and [Formula: see text]-conforming velocity solution. We can apply the same approach to develop a robust virtual element method for the Brinkman equation that is stable for both the Stokes and Darcy limit case. We provide a rigorous error analysis of the method and several numerical tests.

AbstractWe develop a geometrically intrinsic formulation of the arbitrary-order Virtual Element Method (VEM) on polygonal cells for the numerical solution of elliptic surface partial differential equations (PDEs). The PDE is first written in covariant form using an appropriate local reference system. The knowledge of the local parametrization allows us to consider the two-dimensional VEM scheme, without any explicit approximation of the surface geometry. The theoretical properties of the classical VEM are extended to our framework by taking into consideration the highly anisotropic character of the final discretization. These properties are extensively tested on triangular and polygonal meshes using a manufactured solution. The limitations of the scheme are verified as functions of the regularity of the surface and its approximation.
