    Higher-order discontinuous Galerkin time stepping and local projection stabilization techniques for the transient Stokes problem
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Ahmed, Naveed; Becher, Simon; Matthies, Gunar
    We introduce and analyze discontinuous Galerkin time discretizations coupled with continuous finite element methods based on equal-order interpolation in space for velocity and pressure in transient Stokes problems. Spatial stability of the pressure is ensured by adding a stabilization term based on local projection. We present error estimates for the semi-discrete problem after discretization in space only and for the fully discrete problem. The fully discrete pressure shows an instability in the limit of small time step length. Numerical tests are presented which confirm our theoretical results including the pressure instability.

    Numerical study of SUPG and LPS methods combined with higher order variational time discretization schemes applied to time-dependent convection-diffusion-reaction equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Ahmed, Naveed; Matthies, Gunar
    This paper considers the numerical solution of time-dependent convection-diffusion-reaction equations. We shall employ combinations of streamline-upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) and local projection stabilization (LPS) methods in space with the higher order variational time discretization schemes. In particular, we consider time discretizations by discontinuous Galerkin (dG) methods and continuous Galerkin-Petrov (cGP) methods. Several numerical tests have been performed to assess the accuracy of combinations of spatial and temporal discretization schemes. Furthermore, the dependence of the results on the stabilization parameters of the spatial discretizations are discussed. Finally the long-time behavior of overshoots and undershoots is investigated.
