Analysis of the immersed boundary method for a finite element Stokes problem

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Convergence results for the immersed boundary method applied to a model Stokes problem with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition are presented. As a discretization method, we deal with the finite element method. First, the immersed force field is approximated using a regularized delta function and its error in the W1,p norm is examined for 1lep<n/(n1), n being the space dimension. Then, we consider the immersed boundary discretization of the Stokes problem and study the regularization and discretization errors separately. Consequently, error estimate of order h1alpha in the W1,1imesL1 norm for the velocity and pressure is derived, where alpha is an arbitrarily small positive number. Error estimate of order h1alpha in the Lr norm for the velocity is also derived with r=n/(n1alpha). The validity of those theoretical results are confirmed by numerical examples.
