Resumen
IN THIS WORK WE PRESENT AND ANALYZE A FINITE ELEMENT SCHEME YIELDING DISCONTINUOUS GALERKIN APPROXIMATIONS TO THE SOLUTIONS OF THE STATIONARY BOUSSINESQ SYSTEM FOR THE SIMULATION OF NON-ISOTHERMAL FLOW PHENOMENA. THE MODEL CONSISTS OF A NAVIER?STOKES-TYPE SYSTEM, DESCRIBING THE VELOCITY AND THE PRESSURE OF THE FLUID, COUPLED TO AN ADVECTION-DIFFUSION EQUATION FOR THE TEMPERATURE. THE PROPOSED NUMERICAL SCHEME IS BASED ON THE STANDARD INTERIOR PENALTY TECHNIQUE AND AN UPWIND APPROACH FOR THE NONLINEAR CONVECTIVE TERMS AND EMPLOYS THE DIVERGENCE-CONFORMING BREZZI?DOUGLAS?MARINI (BDM) ELEMENTS OF ORDER K FOR THE VELOCITY, DISCONTINUOUS ELEMENTS OF ORDER K-1FOR THE PRESSURE AND DISCONTINUOUS ELEMENTS OF ORDER K FOR THE TEMPERATURE. EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS RESULTS ARE SHOWN AND STATED RIGOROUSLY FOR BOTH THE CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND THE DISCRETE SCHEME, AND OPTIMAL A PRIORI ERROR ESTIMATES ARE ALSO DERIVED. NUMERICAL EXAMPLES BACK UP THE THEORETICAL EXPECTED CONVERGENCE RATES AS WELL AS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PROPOSED TECHNIQUE.
