Least-squares finite element method (LSFEM) is employed to simulate 2-D and axisymmetric flows governed by the compressible Euler equations. Least-squares formulation brings many advantages over classical Galerkin finite element methods. For non-self-adjoint systems, LSFEM result in symmetric positive-definite matrices which can be solved efficiently by iterative methods. Additionally, with a unified formulation it can work in all flight regimes from subsonic to supersonic. Another advantage is that, the method does not require artificial viscosity since it is naturally diffusive which also appears as a difficulty for sharply resolving high gradients in the flow field such as shock waves. This problem is dealt by employing adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) on triangular meshes. LSFEM with AMR technique is numerically tested with various flow problems and good agreement with the available data in literature is seen.

Least squares differential quadrature time integration scheme in the dual reciprocity boundary element method solution of convection-diffusion problems Bozkaya, Canan (2005-03-18) The least squares differential quadrature method (DQM) is used for solving the ordinary differential equations in time, obtained from the application of the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) for the spatial partial derivatives in convection-diffusion type problems. The DRBEM enables us to use the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation which is easy to implement computationally. The time derivative and the convection terms are considered as the nonhomogeneity in the equation which are ap...
MUTUAL COUPLING EFFECTS OF FINITE RECTANGULAR PHASED-ARRAYS YAVUZ, H; BUYUKDURA, OM (1994-04-14) A rigorous integral equation formulation for the analysis of a phased array of flangemounted waveguide apertures is given for a finite number of elements and nonuniform spacings. The resulting set of ihtegrd equations is reduced to a matrix equation called the coupling matrix which relates the coefficients of all the modes in all the waveguides to one another. The solution then yields the dominant mode reflection coefficient, coefficients of scattered modes and hence the field in each waveguide. The blockTo...
Least-squares finite element solution of Euler equations with H-type mesh refinement and coarsening on triangular elements AKARGUN, Hayri Yigit; Sert, Cüneyt (2014-01-01) Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate successful use of least-squares finite element method (LSFEM) with h-type mesh refinement and coarsening for the solution of two-dimensional, inviscid, compressible flows.
Optimal boundary control of the unsteady Burgers equation with simultaneous space-time discretization Karasözen, Bülent (2014-07-01) The optimality system for boundary controlled unsteady Burgers equation is transformed after linearization into a biharmonic equation in the space-time domain. It is then discretized in space and time simultaneously, so that standard finite element software can be easily implemented. Numerical experiments with and without control constraint problems confirm the applicability of this approach. Copyright (C) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Fully computable convergence analysis of discontinous Galerkin finite element approximation with an arbitrary number of levels of hanging nodes Özışık, Sevtap; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Riviere, Beatrice M.; Department of Mathematics (2012) In this thesis, we analyze an adaptive discontinuous finite element method for symmetric second order linear elliptic operators. Moreover, we obtain a fully computable convergence analysis on the broken energy seminorm in first order symmetric interior penalty discontin- uous Galerkin finite element approximations of this problem. The method is formulated on nonconforming meshes made of triangular elements with first order polynomial in two di- mension. We use an estimator which is completely free of unknow...
