Abstract
The mass-conservative finite element method (FEM) is considered for the micropolar Navier-Stokes equations (MNSE), which couple the Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) with the angular momentum equation. A fully divergence-free algorithm is proposed for the MNSE. The Raviart-Thomas element is employed for discretizing the velocity field, ensuring that its divergence-free property is maintained. Furthermore, the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (IPDG) method is utilized in order to guarantee the -continuity of velocity. Some implicit-explicit treatments are used to address the convection terms. We also provide energy stability proof and pressure robust error estimation for the proposed scheme. Finally, the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are validated through several 2D/3D numerical experiments.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to provide a forum for the publication of high quality research and tutorial papers in computational mathematics. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in numerical analysis, the journal also publishes papers describing relevant applications in such fields as physics, fluid dynamics, engineering and other branches of applied science with a computational mathematics component. The journal strives to be flexible in the type of papers it publishes and their format. Equally desirable are:
(i) Full papers, which should be complete and relatively self-contained original contributions with an introduction that can be understood by the broad computational mathematics community. Both rigorous and heuristic styles are acceptable. Of particular interest are papers about new areas of research, in which other than strictly mathematical arguments may be important in establishing a basis for further developments.
(ii) Tutorial review papers, covering some of the important issues in Numerical Mathematics, Scientific Computing and their Applications. The journal will occasionally publish contributions which are larger than the usual format for regular papers.
(iii) Short notes, which present specific new results and techniques in a brief communication.
