The short course will present an introduction to finite element and finite volume methods for Darcy flow, Stokes flow, and elasticity and their multiphysics couplings. We will discuss solvability, accuracy, and efficiency of the methods. The focus will be on structure preserving methods, e.g., methods with local mass or momentum conservation. The following topics to be discussed.
1. Finite element methods for Darcy flow
- velocity-pressure mixed finite element methods
- finite volume and cell-centered finite difference methods
- mortar finite element methods
2. Finite element methods for Stokes flow
- velocity-pressure mixed finite element methods
- stress-velocity mixed finite element methods
- mortar finite element methods
3. Finite element methods for elasticity
- displacement finite element methods
- stress-displacement mixed finite element methods
- mortar finite element methods
4. Finite element methods for Stokes-Darcy couplings
5. Finite element methods for the Biot system of poroelasticity (Darcy flow in deformable porous media)
6. Finite element methods for fluid-poroelastic structure interaction (Stokes-Biot couplings)
