Finite volume element methods: An overview
Prof Sarvesh Kumar
(Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology)
Abstract
In this talk, first we address the convergence issues of a standard finite volume element method (FVEM) applied to simple elliptic problems. Then, we discuss discontinuous finite volume element methods (DFVEM) for elliptic problems with emphasis on computational and theoretical advantages over the standard FVEM. Further, we present a natural extension of DFVEM employed for the elliptic problem to the Stokes problems. We also discuss suitability of these methods for the approximation of incompressible miscible displacement problems.
