Title
Adaptive least-squares finite element approximations to Stokes equations.
Abstract
This paper is concerned with adaptive least-squares methods for Stokes equations based on velocity-pressure-stress and velocity-vorticity-pressure formulations. To capture the Stokes flow region, an adaptive algorithm based on mesh redistribution is developed for a nonlinear weighted least-squares functional. A redistribution approach is considered to generate the optimal grids. Model problems considered are the flow past a planar channel and a 4-to-1 contraction problems. Numerical results of model problems illustrating the efficiency of the proposed scheme are presented. Adaptive least-squares methods are used to solve the Stokes equations.Velocity-pressure-stress and velocity-vorticity-pressure formulations are used.Mesh redistribution for planar and 4-to-1 contraction flow problems are developed.Lower-order basis functions in all variables are used in least-squares methods.Hybrid meshes of regular and graded grids are used to reduce the grid effects.
