Trefftz Discontinuous Galerkin discretization for the Stokes problem

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce a new discretization based on the Trefftz-DG method for solving the Stokes equations. Discrete solutions of a corresponding method fulfill the Stokes equation pointwise within each element and yield element-wise divergence-free solutions. Compared to standard DG methods, a strong reduction of the degrees of freedom is achieved, especially for higher order polynomial degrees. In addition, in contrast to many other Trefftz-DG methods, our approach allows to easily incorporate inhomogeneous right hand sides (driving forces) by using the concept of the embedded Trefftz-DG method. On top of a detailed a priori error analysis, we further compare our approach to standard discontinuous Galerkin Stokes discretizations and present numerical examples.
