AbstractA new mixed finite volume method for elliptic equations with tensor coefficients on rectangular meshes (2 and 3-D) is presented. The implementation of the discretization as a finite volume method for the scalar variable (“pressure”) is derived. The scheme is well suited for heterogeneous and anisotropic media because of the generalized harmonic averaging. It is shown that the method is stable and well posed. First-order error estimates are derived. The theoretical results are confirmed by the presented numerical experiments.

AbstractIn this paper, an optimal bicubic finite volume method is established and analyzed for elliptic equations on quadrilateral meshes. Base on the so-called elementwise stiffness matrix analysis technique, we proceed the stability analysis. It is proved that the new scheme has optimal convergence rate in H1 norm. Additionally, we apply this analysis technique to bilinear finite volume method. Finally, numerical examples are provided to confirm the theoretical analysis of bicubic finite volume method.
