<p style='text-indent:20px;'>A stabilizer free WG method is introduced for the Stokes equations with superconvergence on polytopal mesh in primary velocity-pressure formulation. Convergence rates two order higher than the optimal-order for velocity of the WG approximation is proved in both an energy norm and the <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ L^2 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> norm. Optimal order error estimate for pressure in the <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ L^2 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> norm is also established. The numerical examples cover low and high order approximations, and 2D and 3D cases.</p>

Micropolar fluid model consists of Navier-Stokes equations and microrotational velocity equations describing the dynamics of flows in which microstructure of fluid is important. In this paper, we propose and analyze a decoupled time-stepping algorithm for the evolutionary micropolar flow. The proposed method requires solving only one uncoupled Navier-Stokes and one microrotation subphysics problem per time step. We derive optimal order error estimates in suitable norms without assuming any stability condition or time step size restriction.

AbstractThe Ladyženskaja–Babuška–Brezzi (LBB) condition is a necessary condition for the well-posedness of discrete saddle point problems stemming from discretizing the Stokes equations. In this paper, we prove the LBB condition and provide the (optimal) lower bound for this condition for the triangular spectral method proposed by L. Chen, J. Shen, and C. Xu in [3]. Then this lower bound is used to derive an error estimate for the pressure. Some numerical examples are provided to confirm the theoretical estimates.

This paper proposes a discontinuous finite volume method for the Darcy-Stokes equations. An optimal error estimate for the approximation of velocity is obtained in a mesh-dependent norm. First-orderL2-error estimates are derived for the approximations of both velocity and pressure. Some numerical examples verifying the theoretical predictions are presented.

Due to its relevance in ocean engineering, the subject of the flow field generated by water waves around a vertical circular cylinder piercing the free surface has recently started to be considered by several research groups. In particular, we studied this problem starting from the velocity-potential framework, then the implementation of the numerical solution of the Euler equations in their velocity-pressure formulation, and finally the performance of the integration of the Navier-Stokes equations in primitive variables. We also developed and applied methods of extraction of the flow coherent structures and most energetic modes. In this work, we present some new results of our research directed, in particular, toward the clarification of the main nonintuitive character of the phenomenon of interaction between a wave and a surface-piercing cylinder, namely, the fact that the wave exerts its maximum force and exhibits its maximum run-up on the cylindrical obstacle at different instants. The understanding of this phenomenon becomes of crucial importance in the perspective of governing the entity of the wave run-up on the obstacle by means of wave-flow-control techniques.

AbstractThe velocity solution of the incompressible Stokes equations is not affected by changes of the right hand side data in form of gradient fields. Most mixed methods do not replicate this property in the discrete formulation due to a relaxation of the divergence constraint which means that they are not pressure-robust. A recent reconstruction approach for classical methods recovers this invariance property for the discrete solution, by mapping discretely divergence-free test functions to exactly divergence-free functions in the sense of $${\varvec{H}}({\text {div}})$$ H ( div ) . Moreover, the Stokes solution has locally singular behavior in three-dimensional domains near concave edges, which degrades the convergence rates on quasi-uniform meshes and makes anisotropic mesh grading reasonable in order to regain optimal convergence characteristics. Finite element error estimates of optimal order on meshes of tensor-product type with appropriate anisotropic grading are shown for the pressure-robust modified Crouzeix–Raviart method using the reconstruction approach. Numerical examples support the theoretical results.
