In this paper, a finite volume element (FVE) method is proposed for the time fractional Sobolev equations with the Caputo time fractional derivative. Based on the L1-formula and the Crank–Nicolson scheme, a fully discrete Crank–Nicolson FVE scheme is established by using an interpolation operator Ih*. The unconditional stability result and the optimal a priori error estimate in the L2(Ω)-norm for the Crank–Nicolson FVE scheme are obtained by using the direct recursive method. Finally, some numerical results are given to verify the time and space convergence accuracy, and to examine the feasibility and effectiveness for the proposed scheme.

AbstractIn this paper, the Crank-Nicolson linear finite volume element method is applied to solve the distributed optimal control problems governed by a parabolic equation. The optimal convergent orderO(h2+k2) is obtained for the numerical solution in a discreteL2-norm. A numerical experiment is presented to test the theoretical result.

In this article, mixed finite volume element (MFVE) methods are proposed for solving the numerical solution of Burgers’ equation. By introducing a transfer operator, semidiscrete and fully discrete MFVE schemes are constructed. The existence, uniqueness, and stability analyses for semidiscrete and fully discrete MFVE schemes are given in detail. The optimal a priori error estimates for the unknown and auxiliary variables in the L2Ω norm are derived by using the stability results. Finally, numerical results are given to verify the feasibility and effectiveness.

We study symmetric finite volume element approximations for two-dimensional parabolic integrodifferential equations, arising in modeling of nonlocal reactive flows in porous media. It is proved that symmetric finite volume element approximations are convergent with optimal order inL2-norm. Numerical example is presented to illustrate the accuracy of our method.

AbstractA semi-discrete scheme about time for the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations is presented firstly, then a new fully discrete finite volume element (FVE) formulation based on macroelement is directly established from the semi-discrete scheme about time. And the error estimates for the fully discrete FVE solutions are derived by means of the technique of the standard finite element method. It is shown by numerical experiments that the numerical results are consistent with theoretical conclusions. Moreover, it is shown that the FVE method is feasible and efficient for finding the numerical solutions of the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations and it is one of the most effective numerical methods among the FVE formulation, the finite element formulation, and the finite difference scheme.

The incompressible miscible displacement problem in porous media is modeled by a coupled system of two nonlinear partial differential equations, the pressure–velocity equation and the concentration equation. In this paper, we present a mixed finite volume element method (FVEM) for the approximation of the pressure–velocity equation and a standard FVEM for the concentration equation. A priori error estimates in L∞(L2) are derived for velocity, pressure and concentration. Numerical results are presented to substantiate the validity of the theoretical results.
