In this paper, we discuss the application of IsoGeometric Analysis to incompressible viscous flow problems. We consider, as a prototype problem, the Stokes system and we propose various choices of compatible spline spaces for the approximations to the velo ...
The use of T-splines [30] in Isogeometric Analysis [24] has been proposed in [5] as a tool to enhance the flexibility of isogeometric methods. If T-splines are a very general concept, their success in isogeometric analysis relies upon some basic properties ...
We study the mixed formulation of the stochastic Hodge-Laplace problem defined on a n-dimensional domain D (n≥1), with random forcing term. In particular, we focus on the magnetostatic problem and on the Darcy problem in the three dimensional case. ...
When implementing high-order surface impedance boundary conditions in collocation boundary element method (BEM) with constant or linear elements, difficulties arise due to the computation of the curvature of the conductors and of the tangential derivatives ...
Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a novel discretization method, introduced by Hughes , which is based on nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS). Among other features, IGA uses directly the geometry description coming from computer-aided design software withou ...
In this paper, we propose a theoretical study of the approximation properties of NURBS spaces, which are used in Isogeometric Analysis. We obtain error estimates that are explicit in terms of the mesh-size h, the degree p and the global regularity, measure ...
In this paper we introduce a discretization methodology for Maxwell equations based on Mimetic Finite Differences (MFD). Following the lines of the recent advances in MFD techniques (see Brezzi et al. (2007) [14] and the references therein) and using some ...
The concept of isogeometric analysis (IGA) was first applied to the approximation of Maxwell equations in [A. Buffa, G. Sangalli, and R. Vázquez, Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg., 199 (2010), pp. 1143-1152]. The method is based on the construction of sui ...
We extend the mimetic finite difference (MFD) method to the numerical treatment of magnetostatic fields problems in mixed div-curl form for the divergence-free magnetic vector potential. To accomplish this task, we introduce three sets of degrees of freedo ...
