Moving Mesh Finite Element Method for Time Dependent Convection-Diffusion Problems
註釋The moving mesh finite element method (MM-FEM) has been a significant force in numerically approximating solutions to differential equations that otherwise exhibit spurious, artificial oscillations. This is especially true for singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems. In the presence of vanishing molecular diffusivity, MM- FEM may not suffice. The numerical method may exhibit under-diffusive properties and other methods need to be integrated into the classic Galerkin formulation. We implement the so-called streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin method into the adaptive moving mesh method. In particular, we investigate the computation of so-called enhanced diffusivity for spatiotemporal periodic turbulent flows. We look at the case of Brownian tracer particles, i.e. negligible inertial effects. These types of passive advection-diffusion models are used in atmospheric models with turbulent diffusion, so-called Benard-advection cells, and porous materials, along with many other areas of science and engineering. As molecular diffusivity decreases, interior and boundary layers propagate along the streamlines. Once spurious oscillations are present, they too will propagate along the streamlines. Thus, specialized numerical methods are needed in order to resolve these areas of the domain where large gradients are present. The discrete maximum principle is also investigated for general anisotropic time dependent convection-diffusion equations. We obtain lower and upper bounds for time steps as well as obtain conditions on the mass and stiffness matrices resulting from the SUPG formulation. Our approach depends on two meshes and taking into consideration two diffusion matrices and applying metric intersection.
