The complementary principles are used with either a trial function for the flux or a trial vector for the current to establish for regular meshes a connection between finite element, finite difference and nodal
We use the results of the refinement guides to locally refine the finite element mesh. This is done for three reasons. One, it completes the unification of the finite element and the finite difference methods, i.e., we can use one method to analyze the other. Two, it shows that the ...
possible.) Infact, this scheme works on a cloud of points and can work out the solution given just the connectivity relation between these points. The scheme (using differnce spliting rather than vector splitting) I am involved with is the same as FV(mathematically) in a uniform mesh, and ...
Numerical results show that the accuracy of solutions depends strongly on the type of finite difference operator chosen: for reliable and accurate solutions in modal analysis problems, element internal strains must be included in the strain field used to compute nodal forces associated with element ...

Mathematics - Numerical AnalysisThe immersed finite element-finite difference (IFED) method is a computational approach to modeling interactions between a fluid and an immersed structure. This method uses a finite element (FE) method to approximate the stresses and forces on a structural mesh ...
However, the method is more commonly applied to structured grids since it requires a mesh having a high degree of regularity. The grid spacing between the nodal points need not be uniform, but there are limits on the amount of grid stretching or distortion that can be imposed, to maintain ...
Perform a finite element analysis using the nodes of the finite difference mesh that are on the domain of the problem, i.e., the fictitious nodes are not included. 3. Form an augmented finite element result by introducing the boundary conditions using the fictitious nodes. 4. Compute the res...
Importantly, because the discretization grid is regular, mesh refinement is not as flexible and efficient as in the FEM approach. Nonetheless, simulation of dispersive, anisotropic, nonlinear, and time-varying materials is possible. The spatially finite computational domain can furthermore support a ...
It is worth mentioning that this correspondence between the grid functions and the geometric objects forming the mesh has a very profound nature that may be well understood using concepts of algebraic topology, see the next subsection. Next, we design the discrete operators that correspond to the ...
