Abstract
AbstractThe objective of this contribution is to study various mixed finite element schemes applied to classical and non‐classical diffusion problems. The Fickean diffusion is considered using a three‐field formulation where the concentration gradient and the diffusive flux are additionally chosen as independent variables. Furthermore, the non‐classical diffusion model given by the Cahn–Hilliard equation is discussed where mixed finite elements are used to cast the fourth‐order PDE into two second‐order PDEs. A penalized version of a mixed formulation for the underlying second gradient model is given by specific micromorphic models. Another approach is a classical second order splitting method.
