We present a linear backward Euler fully discrete finite volume method for the initial-boundary-value problem of purely longitudinal motion of a homogeneous bar and an give optimal order error estimates inL2andH1norms. Furthermore, we obtain the superconvergence error estimate of the generalized projection of the solutionuinH1norm. Numerical experiment illustrates the convergence and stability of this scheme.

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.

AbstractMany problems in electrical engineering or fluid mechanics can be modeled by parabolic-elliptic interface problems, where the domain for the exterior elliptic problem might be unbounded. A possibility to solve this class of problems numerically is the non-symmetric coupling of finite elements (FEM) and boundary elements (BEM) analyzed in [H. Egger, C. Erath and R. Schorr, On the nonsymmetric coupling method for parabolic-elliptic interface problems, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 56 2018, 6, 3510–3533]. If, for example, the interior problem represents a fluid, this method is not appropriate since FEM in general lacks conservation of numerical fluxes and in case of convection dominance also stability. A possible remedy to guarantee both is the use of the vertex-centered finite volume method (FVM) with an upwind stabilization option. Thus, we propose a (non-symmetric) coupling of FVM and BEM for a semi-discretization of the underlying problem. For the subsequent time discretization we introduce two options: a variant of the backward Euler method which allows us to develop an analysis under minimal regularity assumptions and the classical backward Euler method. We analyze both, the semi-discrete and the fully-discrete system, in terms of convergence and error estimates. Some numerical examples illustrate the theoretical findings and give some ideas for practical applications.

Abstract A multiple integral finite volume method combined and Lagrange interpolation are applied in this paper to the Rosenau-RLW (RRLW) equation. We construct a two-level implicit fully discrete scheme for the RRLW equation. The numerical scheme has the accuracy of third order in space and second order in time, respectively. The solvability and uniqueness of the numerical solution are shown. We verify that the numerical scheme keeps the original equation characteristic of energy conservation. It is proved that the numerical scheme is convergent in the order of $O(\tau ^{2} + h^{3})$ O ( τ 2 + h 3 ) and unconditionally stable. A numerical experiment is given to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of scheme.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider a two-scale stabilized finite volume method for the two-dimensional stationary incompressible flow approximated by the lowest equal-order element pairP1—P1which do not satisfy the inf-sup condition. The two-scale method consist of solving a small non-linear system on the coarse mesh and then solving a linear Stokes equations on the fine mesh. Convergence of the optimal order in theH1-norm for velocity and theL2-norm for pressure are obtained. The error analysis shows there is the same convergence rate between the two-scale stabilized finite volume solution and the usual stabilized finite volume solution on a fine mesh with relationh = 𝾪(H2). Numerical experiments completely confirm theoretic results. Therefore, this method presented in this paper is of practical importance in scientific computation.
