Simple Elements and Linelets for Incompressible Flows

  • Chapter

Summary

The current trends for the simulation of large-scale incompressible flow fields using finite elements are discussed. The main items are: a) the use of simple elements through stabilization and analogy with LBB-satisfying elements, and b) the development of fast solvers for general grids.
