A Low Order Globally Divergence-Free WG Finite Element Method for Steady Thermally Coupled Incompressible MHD Flow
This paper introduces a low order weak Galerkin finite element method for steady thermally coupled incompressible magnetohydrodynamics flow, employing piecewise linear and constant approximations to ensure globally divergence-free velocity and magnetic fields, with proven existence, uniqueness, optimal error estimates, and validated by numerical experiments.
This paper develops a low order weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method for the steady thermally coupled incompressible magnetohydrodynamics flow. In the interior of elements, the WG scheme uses piecewise linear polynomials for the approximations of the velocity, the magnetic field and the temperature, and piecewise constants for the approximations of the pressure and the magnetic pseudo-pressure; and on the interfaces of elements, the scheme uses piecewise constants for the numerical traces of velocity and the temperature, and piecewise linear polynomials for the numerical traces of the magnetic fields, the pressure and the magnetic pseudo-pressure. This WG method is shown to yield globally divergence-free approximations of the velocity and magnetic fields. Existence and uniqueness results as well as optimal a priori error estimates for the discrete scheme are obtained. A convergent linearized iterative algorithm is presented. Numerical experiments are provided to verify the theoretical analysis.

This article establishes a discrete maximum principle (DMP) for the approximate solution of convection–diffusion–reaction problems obtained from the weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method on nonuniform rectangular partitions. The DMP analysis is based on a simplified formulation of the WG involving only the approximating functions defined on the boundary of each element. The simplified weak Galerkin (SWG) method has a reduced computational complexity over the usual WG, and indeed provides a discretization scheme different from the WG when the reaction terms are present. An application of the SWG on uniform rectangular partitions yields some 5‐ and 7‐point finite difference schemes for the second order elliptic equation. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the DMP and the accuracy of the scheme, particularly the finite difference scheme.

This paper proposes and analyzes a weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method with strong symmetric stresses for two- and three-dimensional linear elasticity problems on conforming or nonconforming polygon/polyhedral meshes. The WG method uses piecewise-polynomial approximations of degrees k ( ≥ 1 ${\geq 1}$ ) for the stress, k + 1 ${k+1}$ for the displacement, and k for the displacement trace on the inter-element boundaries. It is shown to be equivalent to a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) finite element scheme. We show that the WG methods are robust in the sense that the derived a priori error estimates are optimal and uniform with respect to the Lamé constant λ. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results.
