    Error analysis of a SUPG-stabilized POD-ROM method for convection-diffusion-reaction equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) John, Volker; Moreau, Baptiste; Novo, Julia
    A reduced order model (ROM) method based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is analyzed for convection-diffusion-reaction equations. The streamline-upwind Petrov--Galerkin (SUPG) stabilization is used in the practically interesting case of dominant convection, both for the full order method (FOM) and the ROM simulations. The asymptotic choice of the stabilization parameter for the SUPG-ROM is done as proposed in the literature. This paper presents a finite element convergence analysis of the SUPG-ROM method for errors in different norms. The constants in the error bounds are uniform with respect to small diffusion coefficients. Numerical studies illustrate the performance of the SUPG-ROM method.

    On a technique for reducing spurious oscillations in DG solutions of convection-diffusion equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2022) Frerichs-Mihov, Derk; John, Volker
    This note studies a generalization of a post-processing technique and a novel method inspired by the same technique which significantly reduce spurious oscillations in discontinuous Galerkin solutions of convection-diffusion equations in the convection-dominated regime.

    Existence of solutions of a finite element flux-corrected-transport scheme
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) John, Volker; Knobloch, Petr
    The existence of a solution is proved for a nonlinear finite element flux-corrected-transport (FEM-FCT) scheme with arbitrary time steps for evolutionary convection-diffusion-reaction equations and transport equations.

    Optimal control of a buoyancy-driven liquid steel stirring modeled with single-phase Navier--Stokes equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) Wilbrandt, Ulrich; Alia, Najib; John, Volker
    Gas stirring is an important process used in secondary metallurgy. It allows to homogenize the temperature and the chemical composition of the liquid steel and to remove inclusions which can be detrimental for the end-product quality. In this process, argon gas is injected from two nozzles at the bottom of the vessel and rises by buoyancy through the liquid steel thereby causing stirring, i.e., a mixing of the bath. The gas flow rates and the positions of the nozzles are two important control parameters in practice. A continuous optimization approach is pursued to find optimal values for these control variables. The effect of the gas appears as a volume force in the single-phase incompressible NavierStokes equations. Turbulence is modeled with the Smagorinsky Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model. An objective functional based on the vorticity is used to describe the mixing in the liquid bath. Optimized configurations are compared with a default one whose design is based on a setup from industrial practice.

    An assessment of two classes of variational multiscale methods for the simulation of incompressible turbulent flows
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) Ahmed, Naveed; John, Volker
    A numerical assessment of two classes of variational multiscale (VMS) methods for the simulation of incompressible flows is presented. Two types of residual-based VMS methods and two types of projection-based VMS methods are included in this assessment. The numerical simulations are performed at turbulent channel flow problems with various friction Reynolds numbers. It turns out the the residual-based VMS methods, in particular when used with a pair of inf-sup stable finite elements, give usually the most accurate results for second order statistics. For this pair of finite element spaces, a flexible GMRES method with a Least Squares Commutator (LSC) preconditioner proved to be an efficient solver.

    On reducing spurious oscillations in discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for steady-state convection-diffusion-reaction equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) Frerichs, Derk; John, Volker
    A standard discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method for discretizing steady-state convection-diffusion-reaction equations is known to be stable and to compute sharp layers in the convection-dominated regime, but also to show large spurious oscillations. This paper studies post-processing methods for reducing the spurious oscillations, which replace the DG solution in a vicinity of layers by a constant or linear approximation. Three methods from the literature are considered and several generalizations and modifications are proposed. Numerical studies with the post-processing methods are performed at two-dimensional examples.
