Numerical solution of Burgers' equation based on mixed finite volume element methods (Q2183259)

Summary: 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 \textit{a priori} error estimates for the unknown and auxiliary variables in the \(L^2\left( \Omega\right)\) norm are derived by using the stability results. Finally, numerical results are given to verify the feasibility and effectiveness.
