Abstract

In this paper, we develop and analyze a fully discrete mixed finite element method for unsteady inductionless magnetohydrodynamics problem. An Euler semi-implicit scheme is proposed with a mixed variational formulation based on the variables (u,p,j,ϕ), in which the Navier–Stokes equations are approximated by stable finite elements and the current density is discretized by the divergence-conforming finite element. This scheme has the feature that the discrete current density keeps charge conservation property. It is shown that both the continuous problem and its fully discrete Euler semi-implicit scheme are well-posed. We prove unconditionally convergence and error estimates for velocity, pressure and current density. Finally, numerical experiments have been performed to validate the theoretical analysis and the law of charge conservation.
