Constraint Energy Minimizing Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method for Convection Diffusion Equations with Inhomogeneous Boundary Conditions

Abstract

In this paper, we develop the constraint energy minimizing generalized multiscale finite element method (CEM-GMsFEM) for convection-diffusion equations with inhomogeneous Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions, along with high-contrast coefficients. For time independent problems, boundary correctors $\mathcal{D}^m$ and $\mathcal{N}^{m}$ for Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin conditions are designed. For time dependent problems, a scheme to update the boundary correctors is formulated. Error analysis in both cases is given to show the first-order convergence in energy norm with respect to the coarse mesh size $H$ and second-order convergence in $L^2-$norm, as verified by numerical examples, with which different finite difference schemes are compared for temporal discretization. Nonlinear problems are also demonstrated in combination with Strang splitting.
