Automatic variationally stable analysis for finite element computations: transient convection-diffusion problems
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We establish stable finite element (FE) approximations of convection-diffusion initial boundary value problems using the automatic variationally stable finite element (AVS-FE) method. The transient convection-diffusion problem leads to issues in classical FE methods as the differential operator can be considered singular perturbation in both space and time. The unconditional stability of the AVS-FE method, regardless of the underlying differential operator, allows us significant flexibility in the construction of FE approximations. We take two distinct approaches to the FE discretization of the convection-diffusion problem: i) considering a space-time approach in which the temporal discretization is established using finite elements, and ii) a method of lines approach in which we employ the AVS-FE method in space whereas the temporal domain is discretized using the generalized-alpha method. In the generalized-alpha method, we discretize the temporal domain into finite sized time-steps and adopt the generalized-alpha method as time integrator. Then, we derive a corresponding norm for the obtained operator to guarantee the temporal stability of the method. We present numerical verifications for both approaches, including numerical asymptotic convergence studies highlighting optimal convergence properties. Furthermore, in the spirit of the discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin method by Demkowicz and Gopalakrishnan, the AVS-FE method also leads to readily available a posteriori error estimates through a Riesz representer of the residual of the AVS-FE approximations. Hence, the norm of the resulting local restrictions of these estimates serve as error indicators in both space and time for which we present multiple numerical verifications adaptive strategies.
