Incompressible Flow Problem

We discuss several stabilized finite element methods, which are penalty, regular, multiscale enrichment, and local Gauss integration method, for the steady incompressible flow problem with damping based on the lowest equal-order finite element space pair. Then we give the numerical comparisons between them in three numerical examples which show that the local Gauss integration method has good stability, efficiency, and accuracy properties and it is better than the others for the steady incompressible flow problem with damping on the whole. However, to our surprise, the regular method spends less CPU-time and has better accuracy properties by using Crout solver.

Several stabilized finite element methods for the Stokes eigenvalue problem based on the lowest equal-order finite element pair are numerically investigated. They are penalty, regular, multiscale enrichment, and local Gauss integration method. Comparisons between them are carried out, which show that the local Gauss integration method has good stability, efficiency, and accuracy properties, and it is a favorite method among these methods for the Stokes eigenvalue problem.

Abstract The application of stabilized finite element methods to model the vibration of elastic plates coupled with an acoustic fluid medium is considered. New stabilized methods based on the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle with a generalized least-squares modification are developed which yield improvement in accuracy over the Galerkin and Galerkin Generalized Least Squares (GGLS) finite element methods for both in vacuo and acoustic fluid-loaded Reissner-Mindlin plates. Through judicious selection of design parameters this formulation provides a consistent framework for enhancing the accuracy of mixed Reissner-Mindlin plate elements. Combined with stabilization methods for the acoustic fluid, the method presents a new framework for accurate modeling of acoustic fluid-loaded structures. The technique of complex wave-number dispersion analysis is used to examine the accuracy of the discretized system in the representation of free-waves for fluid-loaded plates. The influence of different finite element approximations for the fluid-loaded plate system are examined and clarified. Improved methods are designed such that the finite element dispersion relations closely match each branch of the complex wavenumber loci for fluid-loaded plates. Comparisons of finite element dispersion relations demonstrate the superiority of the hybrid least-squares (HLS) plate elements combined with stabilized methods for the fluid over standard Galerkin methods with mixed interpolation and shear projection (MITC4) and GGLS methods.
