2009 SCAIM Seminar - 05

  • Date: 03/03/2009
Lecturer(s):
Guido Kanschat (Texas A&M)
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

Divergence-Conforming Finite Element Methods for coupled free and groundwater flow.

Description: 

We present a family of mixed finite elements suitable for discretization of the Navier-Stokes and Darcy equations. It is inf-sup stable and consistent for both equations, such that arbitrarily high order approximations can be achieved by increasing the polynomial degree. Furthermore, the discrete velocities are pointwise divergence free in the free flow region. We will discuss interface conditions between the regions and present numerical results.

Schedule: 

12:30-2:00pm, WMAX 216
