A numerical method for analysis and simulation of diffusive viscous wave equations with variable coefficients on polygonal meshes (Q6061600)

In this paper, the authors analyze weak Galerkin finite element methods to approximate diffusive viscus wave equations with variable coefficients on polygonal meshes. They investigate the convergence analysis using a two-step technique that discretizes first in space and then in time. A second order Newmark scheme is employed to develop the temporal discretization and obtain the optimal order of convergence rate in various norms. They also performed numerical experiments in a two-dimensional setting, illustrating their theoretical convergence findings.
