PITT_2011
Finite Element Methods for the (Navier) Stokes Equations

For the Numerical Analysis Seminar at the University of Pittsburgh, I gave a talk on finite element methods for the Stokes and Navier Stokes equations, at noon, Thursday, 08 December 2011.

The talk was titled

Finite Element Methods for the (Navier) Stokes Equations

A plain text abstract of the talk is available as pitt_2011_abstract.txt.

A PDF version is available as ../../presentations/pitt_2011.pdf.

The following files were used:

• pitt_2011.tex, the TeX source code.
• fsu_sports_logo.pdf, a logo for FSU.
• grid_linear.png, a grid of linear triangles.
• grid_obstacle.png, a grid of linear triangles, created by MESH2D, for the obstacle problem.
• grid_quadratic.png, a grid of quadratic triangles.
• ifiss_obstacle_grid.png, a grid of constant/linear quadrilaterals, created by IFISS for the obstacle problem.
• ifiss_obstacle_navierstokes.png, velocity streamlines and pressure contours for the Navier Stokes solution, created by IFISS for the obstacle problem.
• ifiss_obstacle_stokes.png, velocity streamlines and pressure contours for the Stokes solution, created by IFISS for the obstacle problem.
• quadratic_basis1.png, a quadratic basis function on a midside node.
• quadratic_basis2.png, a quadratic basis function on a vertex.
• triangle_reference2.png, a 21 node reference triangle.
• triangle_reference3.png, a 21 node reference triangle, illustrating a method for defining the basis functions.
