Shortcomings of discontinuous-pressure finite element methods on a class of transient problems (original) (raw)

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, 2009

Abstract

ABSTRACT Past studies that have compared LBB stable discontinuous- and continuous-pressure finite element formulations on a variety of problems have concluded that both methods yield solutions of comparable accuracy, and that the choice of interpolation is dictated by which of the two is more efficient. In this work, we show that using discontinuous-pressure interpolations can yield inaccurate solutions at large times on a class of transient problems, while the continuous-pressure formulation yields solutions that are in good agreement with the analytical solution.
