The numerical modeling of the steady flow of a yield stress fluid around a cylinder is presented. Three categories of yielded regions are exhibited. The asymptotic behavior when the cylinder gets close to the wall is investigated. The resolution of variational inequalities describing the flow is bas

This work presents a mixed three-dimensional finite element formulation for analyzing compressible viscous flows. The formulation is based on the primitive variables velocity, density, temperature and pressure. The goal of this work is to present a 'stable' numerical formulation, and, thus, the inte
A finite element discretization for two-dimensional MHD is described. The elements are triangles with piecewise linear basis functions. The main computational difficulty is the accurate calculation of the current. The most effective solution is to employ a current-vorticity advection formulation of
This paper presents an adaptive finite element method for solving incompressible turbulent flows using a k-e model of turbulence. Solutions are obtained in primitive variables using a highly accurate quadratic finite element on unstructured grids. A projection error estimator is presented that takes

Solutions are obtained in primitive variables using a high-order ยฎnite element approximation on unstructured grids. Two general-purpose error estimators are developed to analyse ยฎnite element solutions and
