A stabilized FEM formulation with discontinuity-capturing for solving Burgers’-type equations at high Reynolds numbers

This computational study is concerned with the numerical solutions of Burgers’-type equations at high Reynolds numbers. The high Reynolds numbers drive the nonlinearity to play an essential role and the equations to become more convection-dominated, which causes the solutions obtained with the standard numerical methods to involve spurious oscillations. To overcome this challenge, the Galerkin finite element formulation is stabilized by using the streamline-upwind/Petrov–Galerkin method. The stabilized formulation is further supplemented with YZβ shock-capturing to achieve better solution profiles around strong gradients. The nonlinear equation systems arising from the space and time discretizations are solved by using the Newton–Raphson (N–R) method at each time step. The resulting linearized equation systems are solved with the BiCGStab technique combined with ILU preconditioning at each N–R iteration. A comprehensive set of test examples is provided to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed formulation and the techniques used.

A subgrid stabilization finite element method for incompressible magnetohydrodynamics
Belenli, Mine A.; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Rebholz, Leo G.; Wilson, Nicholas E. (2013-07-01)
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 ca...
A SUPG Formulation for Solving a Class of Singularly Perturbed Steady Problems in 2D
Cengizci, Süleyman; Uğur, Ömür; Srinivasan, Natesan (2020-09-02)
In this presentation, approximate solutions of singularly perturbed partial differential equations are examined. It is a well-known fact that the standard Galerkin finite element method (GFEM) experiences some instability problems in obtaining accurate approximations to the solution of convection-dominated equations. Therefore, in this work, the Streamline-Upwind/Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) method is employed to overcome the instability issues for the numerical solution of these kinds of problems. Furthermore,...
A normalized set of force and permeance data for doubly-salient magnetic geometries
Mahariq, İbrahim; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
In this study, a model is developed to represent doubly-salient magnetic circuits and to fit finite element analysis for the aim of obtaining a set of normalized normal force, tangential force, and permeance variation data. To obtain the desired data FE field solution method is used. The reliability of finite element results have been verified by three steps; first, comparing the numerical results with analytically calculated permeance, second, by solving two switch reluctance motors and comparing the resul...
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.

Toraman, Sıtkı Can; Yücel, Hamdullah (2023-04-01)
In this paper, we focus on a numerical investigation of a strongly convex and smooth optimization problem subject to a convection–diffusion equation with uncertain terms. Our approach is based on stochastic approximation where true gradient is replaced by a stochastic ones with suitable momentum term to minimize the objective functional containing random terms. A full error analysis including Monte Carlo, finite element, and stochastic momentum gradient iteration errors is done. Numerical examples are prese...
