โฆ Synopsis
We derive stability properties and error estimates for the finite element method when used to approximate heat flow in a fluid enclosed by a solid medium. The coupled Navier Stokes system involves the Boussinesq equations in the fluid-filled cavity linked through an interface with heat conduction in the solid enclosing the fluid. As we assume no extra regularity then can be shown to hold under mild restriction on the data (at least over a small time interval in R3), we focus primarily on low order finite element spaces.

## Abstract In this paper, the extended finite element method (XโFEM) is investigated for the solution of hydraulic fracture problems. The presence of an internal pressure inside the crack is taken into account. Special tip functions encapsulating tip asymptotics typically encountered in hydraulic
