This paper studies a numerical scheme for approximating solutions of incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations that uses eddy viscosity stabilization only on the small scales of the fluid flow. This stabilization scheme for MHD equations uses a Galerkin finite element spatial discretization with Scott-Vogelius mixed finite elements and semi-implicit backward Euler temporal discretization. We prove its unconditional stability and prove how the coarse mesh can be chosen so that optimal convergence can be achieved. We also provide numerical experiments to confirm the theory and demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme on a test problem for MHD channel flow.

A hybrid uniform geometrical theory of diffraction-moment method for efficient analysis of electromagnetic radiation/scattering from large finite planar arrays Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Chou, HT; Nepa, P (2000-03-01) A hybrid uniform geometrical theory of diffraction (UTD)-moment method (MOM) approach is introduced to provide an efficient analysis of the electromagnetic radiation/scattering from electrically large, finite, planar periodic arrays. This study is motivated by the fact that conventional numerical methods become rapidly inefficient and even intractable for the analysis of electrically large arrays containing many antenna or frequency-selective surface (FSS) elements. In the present hybrid UTD-MOM approach, t...
A discontinuous subgrid eddy viscosity method for the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations Kaya Merdan, Songül (Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics (SIAM), 2005-01-01) In this paper we provide an error analysis of a subgrid scale eddy viscosity method using discontinuous polynomial approximations for the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Optimal continuous in time error estimates of the velocity are derived. The analysis is completed with some error estimates for two fully discrete schemes, which are first and second order in time, respectively.
A Three dimensional mixed formulation nonlinear frame finite element based on hu-washizu functional Soydaş, Ozan; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) A three dimensional nonlinear frame finite element is presented in this analytical study by utilizing Hu-Washizu principle with three fields of displacement, strain and stress in the variational form. Timoshenko beam theory is extended to three dimensions in order to derive strains from the displacement field. The finite element approximation for the beam uses shape functions for section forces that satisfy equilibrium and discontinous section deformations along the beam. Nonlinear analyses are performed by...
A Novel Numerical Technique for Analyzing Metasurfaces ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Mittra, Raj; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2019-12-31) This work presents a novel technique for efficient numerical modeling of electromagnetic scattering from metasurfaces comprising of truncated periodic or locally-varying quasi-periodic surfaces. The proposed technique hybridizes the periodic Finite Element Method (FEM) with the Method of Moments (MoM) to develop an algorithm far more efficient than conventional numerical methods for electromagnetic scattering from arbitrary objects. The key feature of the proposed algorithm is that it takes advantage of the...
A stabilized finite element method for the two-field and three-field Stokes eigenvalue problems Türk, Önder; Codina, Ramon (2016-10-01) In this paper, the stabilized finite element approximation of the Stokes eigenvalue problems is considered for both the two field (displacement pressure) and the three-field (stress displacement pressure) formulations. The method presented is based on a subgrid scale concept, and depends on the approximation of the unresolvable scales of the continuous solution. In general, subgrid scale techniques consist in the addition of a residual based term to the basic Galerkin formulation. The application of a stand...
