A new mimetic finite difference method for the Stokes problem is proposed and analyzed. The mimetic discretization methodology can be understood as a generalization of the finite element method to meshes with general polygons/polyhedrons. In this paper, the mimetic generalization of the unstable P-1 - P-0 (and the conditionally stable Q1 - P0) finite element is shown to be fully stable when applied to a large range of polygonal meshes. Moreover, we show how to stabilize the remaining cases by adding a small number of bubble functions to selected mesh edges. A simple strategy for selecting such edges is proposed and verified with numerical experiments.

A virtual element method for the miscible displacement of incompressible fluids in porous media

L. Beirao da Veiga, A. Pichler, G. Vacca

Summary: This paper presents a virtual element (VE) discretization for a time-dependent coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations, aiming to investigate the capabilities of virtual element methods (VEM) for complex fluid flow problems. By combining VEM with a time stepping scheme, a theoretical analysis of the method was developed under the assumption of a regular solution. The scheme was then tested on both regular and realistic test cases to validate its effectiveness.

Virtual elements for Maxwell's equations

L. Beirao da Veiga, F. Dassi, G. Manzini, L. Mascotto

Summary: We introduce a low order virtual element discretization for time dependent Maxwell's equations, which allows for the use of general polyhedral meshes. Both the semi- and fully-discrete schemes are considered. We derive optimal a priori estimates and validate them through numerical experiments. As key findings, we discuss novel inequalities associated with de Rahm sequences of nodal, edge, and face virtual element spaces.

Equilibrium analysis of an immersed rigid leaflet by the virtual element method

L. Beirao da Veiga, C. Canuto, R. H. Nochetto, G. Vacca

Summary: This study investigates the equilibrium of a hinged rigid leaflet with an attached rotational spring in a stationary incompressible fluid within a rigid channel using theoretical and numerical methods. Sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium positions are identified based on properties of the domain functional. The proposed numerical technique utilizes the mesh flexibility of the Virtual Element Method and proves quasi-optimal error estimates through a variety of numerical experiments.

Stability and Interpolation Properties for Stokes-Like Virtual Element Spaces

Jian Meng, Lourenco Beirao da Veiga, Lorenzo Mascotto

Summary: In this paper, we establish stability bounds for Stokes-like virtual element spaces in both two and three dimensions. These bounds are crucial for deriving optimal interpolation estimates. In addition, we conduct numerical tests to investigate the behavior of the stability constants from a practical perspective.

A fully-discrete virtual element method for the nonstationary Boussinesq equations in stream-function form

L. Beirao da Veiga, D. Mora, A. Silgado

Summary: In this paper, a fully-coupled virtual element method is proposed for solving the nonstationary Boussinesq system in 2D. The method utilizes the stream-function and temperature fields and employs C1- and C0-conforming virtual element approaches for spatial discretization. The temporal variable is discretized using a backward Euler scheme. The well-posedness and unconditional stability of the fully-discrete problem are proved, and error estimates in H2- and H1-norms are derived for the stream-function and temperature fields. Benchmark tests are conducted to validate the theoretical error bounds and demonstrate the behavior of the fully-discrete scheme.
