We consider the discretization of a stationary Stokes interface problem in a velocity-pressure formulation. The interface is described implicitly as the zero level of a scalar function as it is common in level set based methods. Hence, the interface is not aligned with the mesh. An unfitted finite element discretization based on a Taylor-Hood velocity-pressure pair and an XFEM (or CutFEM) modification is used for the approximation of the solution. This allows for the accurate approximation of solutions which have strong or weak discontinuities across interfaces which are not aligned with the mesh. To arrive at a consistent, stable and accurate formulation we require several additional techniques. First, a Nitsche-type formulation is used to implement interface conditions in a weak sense. Secondly, we use the ghost penalty stabilization to obtain an inf-sup stable variational formulation. Finally, for the highly accurate approximation of the implicitly described geometry, we use a combination of a piecewise linear interface reconstruction and a parametric mapping of the underlying mesh. We introduce the method and discuss results of numerical examples.
We design an adaptive unfitted finite element method on the Cartesian mesh with hanging nodes. We derive an hp-reliable and efficient residual type a posteriori error estimate on K-meshes. A key ingredient is a novel hp-domain inverse estimate which allows us to prove the stability of the finite element method under practical interface resolving mesh conditions and also prove the lower bound of the hp a posteriori error estimate. Numerical examples are included.
In this paper, we propose a deep unfitted Nitsche method for computing elliptic interface problems with high contrasts in high dimensions. To capture discontinuities of the solution caused by interfaces, we reformulate the problem as an energy minimization involving two weakly coupled components. This enables us to train two deep neural networks to represent two components of the solution in high-dimensional. The curse of dimensionality is alleviated by using the Monte-Carlo method to discretize the unfitted Nitsche energy function. We present several numerical examples to show the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
An $hp$ version of interface penalty finite element method ($hp$-IPFEM) is proposed for elliptic interface problems in two and three dimensions on unfitted meshes. Error estimates in broken $H^1$ norm, which are optimal with respect to $h$ and suboptimal with respect to $p$ by half an order of $p$, are derived. Both symmetric and non-symmetric IPFEM are considered. Error estimates in $L^2$ norm are proved by the duality argument.
An interface/boundary-unfitted eXtended hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (X-HDG) method of arbitrary order is proposed for linear elasticity interface problems on unfitted meshes with respect to the interface and domain boundary. The method uses piecewise polynomials of degrees $k (>= 1)$ and $k-1$ respectively for the displacement and stress approximations in the interior of elements inside the subdomains separated by the interface, and piecewise polynomials of degree $k$ for the numerical traces of the displacement on the inter-element boundaries inside the subdomains and on the interface/boundary of the domain. Optimal error estimates in $L^2$-norm for the stress and displacement are derived. Finally, numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results and show that the method also applies to the case of crack-tip domain.
This paper proposes an interface/boundary-unfitted eXtended hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (X-HDG) method for Darcy-Stokes-Brinkman interface problems in two and three dimensions. The method uses piecewise linear polynomials for the velocity approximation and piecewise constants for both the velocity gradient and pressure approximations in the interior of elements inside the subdomains separated by the interface, uses piecewise constants for the numerical traces of velocity on the inter-element boundaries inside the subdomains, and uses piecewise constants or linear polynomials for the numerical traces of velocity on the interface. Optimal error estimates are derived for the interface-unfitted X-HDG scheme. Numerical experiments are provided to verify the theoretical results and the robustness of the proposed method.
