Many problems in fluid dynamics are effectively modeled as Stokes flows - slow, viscous flows where the Reynolds number is small. Boundary integral equations are often used to solve these problems, where the fundamental solutions for the fluid velocity are the Stokeslet and stresslet. One of the main challenges in evaluating the boundary integrals is that the kernels become singular on the surface. A regularization method that eliminates the singularities and reduces the numerical error through correction terms for both the Stokeslet and stresslet integrals was developed in Tlupova and Beale, JCP (2019). In this work we build on the previously developed method to introduce a new stresslet regularization that is simpler and results in higher accuracy when evaluated on the surface. Our regularization replaces a seventh-degree polynomial that results from an equation with two conditions and two unknowns with a fifth-degree polynomial that results from an equation with one condition and one unknown. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the new regularization retains the same order of convergence as the regularization developed by Tlupova and Beale but shows a decreased magnitude of the error.

This paper proposes a computer-assisted solution existence verification method for the stationary Navier-Stokes equation over general 3D domains. The proposed method verifies that the exact solution as the fixed point of the Newton iteration exists around the approximate solution through rigorous computation and error estimation. The explicit values of quantities required by applying the fixed point theorem are obtained by utilizing newly developed quantitative error estimation for finite element solutions to boundary value problems and eigenvalue problems of the Stokes equation.
As groundwater is an essential nutrition and irrigation resource, its pollution may lead to catastrophic consequences. Therefore, accurate modeling of the pollution of the soil and groundwater aquifer is highly important. As a model, we consider a density-driven groundwater flow problem with uncertain porosity and permeability. This problem may arise in geothermal reservoir simulation, natural saline-disposal basins, modeling of contaminant plumes, and subsurface flow. This strongly nonlinear time-dependent problem describes the convection of the two-phase flow. This liquid streams under the gravity force, building so-called fingers. The accurate numerical solution requires fine spatial resolution with an unstructured mesh and, therefore, high computational resources. Consequently, we run the parallelized simulation toolbox myug with the geometric multigrid solver on Shaheen II supercomputer. The parallelization is done in physical and stochastic spaces. Additionally, we demonstrate how the myug toolbox can be run in a black-box fashion for testing different scenarios in the density-driven flow. As a benchmark, we solve the Elder-like problem in a 3D domain. For approximations in the stochastic space, we use the generalized polynomial chaos expansion. We compute the mean, variance, and exceedance probabilities of the mass fraction. As a reference solution, we use the solution, obtained from the quasi-Monte Carlo method.
Boundary integral numerical methods are among the most accurate methods for interfacial Stokes flow, and are widely applied. They have the advantage that only the boundary of the domain must be discretized, which reduces the number of discretization points and allows the treatment of complicated interfaces. Despite their popularity, there is no analysis of the convergence of these methods for interfacial Stokes flow. In practice, the stability of discretizations of the boundary integral formulation can depend sensitively on details of the discretization and on the application of numerical filters. We present a convergence analysis of the boundary integral method for Stokes flow, focusing on a rather general method for computing the evolution of an elastic capsule, viscous drop, or inviscid bubble in 2D strain and shear flows. The analysis clarifies the role of numerical filters in practical computations.
For the Stokes equation over 2D and 3D domains, explicit a posteriori and a priori error estimation are novelly developed for the finite element solution. The difficulty in handling the divergence-free condition of the Stokes equation is solved by utilizing the extended hypercircle method along with the Scott-Vogelius finite element scheme. Since all terms in the error estimation have explicit values, by further applying the interval arithmetic and verified computing algorithms, the computed results provide rigorous estimation for the approximation error. As an application of the proposed error estimation, the eigenvalue problem of the Stokes operator is considered and rigorous bounds for the eigenvalues are obtained. The efficiency of proposed error estimation is demonstrated by solving the Stokes equation on both convex and non-convex 3D domains.
We propose and study numerically the implicit approximation in time of the Navier-Stokes equations by a Galerkin-collocation method in time combined with inf-sup stable finite element methods in space. The conceptual basis of the Galerkin-collocation approach is the establishment of a direct connection between the Galerkin method and the classical collocation methods, with the perspective of achieving the accuracy of the former with reduced computational costs in terms of less complex algebraic systems of the latter. Regularity of higher order in time of the discrete solution is ensured further. As an additional ingredient, we employ Nitsches method to impose all boundary conditions in weak form with the perspective that evolving domains become feasible in the future. We carefully compare the performance poroperties of the Galerkin-collocation approach with a standard continuous Galerkin-Petrov method using piecewise linear polynomials in time, that is algebraically equivalent to the popular Crank-Nicholson scheme. The condition number of the arising linear systems after Newton linearization as well as the reliable approximation of the drag and lift coefficient for laminar flow around a cylinder (DFG flow benchmark with $Re=100$) are investigated. The superiority of the Galerkin-collocation approach over the linear in time, continuous Galerkin-Petrov method is demonstrated therein.
