The unusual coupling of PDEs and ODEs on the boundary makes the EMI models challenging to solve numerically. In this paper, we reformulate the problem on the interface using a Steklov–Poincaré operator. We then discretize the model in space using a finite element method (FEM). We prove the existence of a semi-discrete solution using a reformulation as an ODE system on the interface. We derive stability and error estimates for the FEM. Finally, we propose a manufactured solution and use it to perform numerical tests. The order of convergence of the numerical method agrees with what is expected on the basis of the theoretical analysis of the convergence.","PeriodicalId":50499,"journal":{"name":"Esaim-Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis-Modelisation Mathematique et Analyse Numerique","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88485534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A particular feature of the governing equations is given by the fact that the velocity field is non-divergence free. We introduce extra variables such as the pseudostress tensor relating the velocity gradient with the pressure, thus leading to a mixed variational formulation consisting of two systems of equations coupled through their source terms. A result of existence and uniqueness of solutions is shown by means of a fixed-point strategy and the help of the Babuška-Brezzi theory and Banach theorem. Additionally, we employ suitable finite dimensional subspaces to approximate both systems of equations via associated mixed finite element methods. The well-posedness of the resulting coupled scheme is also treated via a fixed-point approach, and hence the discrete version of the existence and uniqueness result is derived analogously to the continuous case. The above is then combined with a finite volume method for the transport equation. Finally, several numerical results illustrating the performance of the proposed model and the full numerical scheme, and confirming the theoretical rates of convergence, are presented.","PeriodicalId":50499,"journal":{"name":"Esaim-Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis-Modelisation Mathematique et Analyse Numerique","volume":"202 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73544847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first approach introduces a collection of point forces on the boundary of the fibroblast whereas the second approach employs an isotropic stress point source in its center. We analyze the resulting partial differential equations in terms of weighted Sobolev spaces and identify the singular behavior of the respective solutions. Two finite element method approaches are proposed, one based on a direct application and another in which the singularity is subtracted and a correction field is computed. Finally, we confirm the validity of the modeling approach, demonstrate convergence of the numerical methods, and verify the analysis through the use of numerical experiments.","PeriodicalId":50499,"journal":{"name":"Esaim-Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis-Modelisation Mathematique et Analyse Numerique","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89906255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
