Abstract
In this work, we propose the finite element method (FEM) coupled implicit/explicit time difference schemes for the two-dimensional three-component (2D-3C) shallow shell surface equation, which features the second-order time variable and fourth-order space variable. Concretely, the higher-order spatial variable is discretized by employing a -conforming element; meanwhile, the existence and uniqueness of semi-discrete solutions for the shallow shell model are analyzed using eigenvalues, and the optimal error estimate is obtained. Then, the time variable is discretized using the Newmark format. We prove that the space–time fully discretization scheme achieves first-order convergence when the parameter . In addition, we adopt the leapfrog format to improve the convergence, which achieves second-order accuracy within small time steps. Finally, numerical experiments are conducted to validate the stability and efficiency of numerical algorithms.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics publishes original papers of high scientific value in all areas of computational and applied mathematics. The main interest of the Journal is in papers that describe and analyze new computational techniques for solving scientific or engineering problems. Also the improved analysis, including the effectiveness and applicability, of existing methods and algorithms is of importance. The computational efficiency (e.g. the convergence, stability, accuracy, ...) should be proved and illustrated by nontrivial numerical examples. Papers describing only variants of existing methods, without adding significant new computational properties are not of interest.
The audience consists of: applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, computational scientists and engineers.
