Construction and analysis of the quadratic finite volume methods on tetrahedral meshes (Q6045560)

The authors establish a family of quadratic FVM (Finite Volume Method) schemes on tetrahedral meshes by introducing three parameters on the dual mesh. The method is developed for elliptic equations in 3D. Under the proposed orthogonal conditions and the minimum V-angle condition a theoretical analysis is presented. The stabilty and optimal error estimates in \(H^1\) and \(L^2\) norms are derived and proved. Some numerical tests are presented to confirm the theoretical results.
