Abstract
A mixed finite volume method is considered for the mixed formulation of second-order elliptic equations. The computational domain can be decomposed into non-overlapping sub-domains or blocks and the diffusion tensors may be discontinuous across the sub-domain boundaries. We define a conforming triangular partition on each sub-domain independently, and employ the standard mixed finite volume method within each sub-domain. A mortar finite element space is introduced to approximate the trace of the pressure on the non-matching interfaces. Moreover, a continuity condition of flux is imposed weakly. We prove the scheme’s first order optimal rate of convergence for both the pressure and the velocity. Numerical experiments are provided to illustrate the error behavior of the scheme and confirm our theoretical results.
