Staggered grid techniques are attractive ideas for flow problems due to their more enhanced conservation properties. Recently, a staggered discontinuous Galerkin method is developed for the Stokes system. This method has several distinctive advantages, namely high order optimal convergence as well as local and global conservation properties. In addition, a local postprocessing technique is developed, and the postprocessed velocity is superconvergent and pointwisely divergence-free. Thus, the staggered discontinuous Galerkin method provides a convincing alternative to existing schemes. For problems with corner singularities and flows in porous media, adaptive mesh refinement is crucial in order to reduce the computational cost. In this paper, we will derive a computable error indicator for the staggered discontinuous Galerkin method and prove that this indicator is both efficient and reliable. Moreover, we will present some numerical results with corner singularities and flows in porous media to show that the proposed error indicator gives a good performance.

Staggered DG Method with Small Edges for Darcy Flows in Fractured Porous Media

Lina Zhao, Dohyun Kim, Eun-Jae Park, Eric Chung

Summary: In this paper, a staggered discontinuous Galerkin method for Darcy flows in fractured porous media is presented and analyzed. The method uses a staggered discontinuous Galerkin method and a standard conforming finite element method with appropriate inclusion of interface conditions. The optimal convergence estimates for all the variables are proved, and the error estimates are shown to be fully robust with respect to the heterogeneity and anisotropy of the permeability coefficients.

Contrast-independent partially explicit time discretizations for multiscale wave problems

Eric T. Chung, Yalchin Efendiev, Wing Tat Leung, Petr N. Vabishchevich

Summary: This work proposes contrast-independent partially explicit time discretizations for wave equations in heterogeneous high-contrast media. The spatial space is split into contrast-dependent and contrast-independent components through multiscale space decomposition. The proposed splitting is unconditionally stable under suitable conditions and identifies local features for implicit treatment. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed methods yield results similar to implicit methods with contrast-independent timestep.

Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method for scattering problem in heterogeneous media

Uygulaana Kalachikova, Maria Vasilyeva, Isaac Harris, Eric T. Chung

Summary: This paper investigates the scattering problem in a heterogeneous domain using the Helmholtz equation and absorbing boundary conditions. A fine unstructured grid that resolves grid-level perforation is constructed for the finite element method solution. The large system of equations resulting from these approximations is reduced using the Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method. The method constructs a multiscale space using the solution of local spectral problems on the snapshot space in each local domain, and two types of multiscale basis functions are presented and studied. Numerical results for the Helmholtz problem in a heterogeneous domain with obstacles of varying properties are provided, examining different wavenumbers and numbers of multiscale basis functions.

Summary: This paper presents a new Finite Element Method called CEM-GMsFEM for solving single-phase non-linear compressible flows in highly heterogeneous media.

The convergence of the method is shown to only depend on the coarse grid size and the method is enhanced with an online enrichment guided by an a posteriori error estimator. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical findings and demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the method.

Lina Zhao, Ming Fai Lam, Eric Chung

Summary: This paper proposes a uniformly robust staggered DG method for the unsteady Darcy-Forchheimer-Brinkman problem, based on velocity gradient-velocity-pressure formulation for general polygonal meshes.

Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical findings.
