On the Rosensweig model: A linear, energy-stable, and convergent finite element method
摘要
In this paper, we propose a fully discrete finite element method for an incompressible ferrohydrodynamics flow. The constitutive equation we consider, proposed by Rosensweig (2002), models the motion of a magnetic fluid. We develop a semi-implicit, energy-stable scheme to solve this nonlinear system. Using the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the numerical solutions. Additionally, we prove the unconditional convergence of the numerical scheme through the Aubin-Lions-Simon lemma. Numerical experiments are conducted to verify the convergence of our scheme and to simulate the behavior of ferrohydrodynamic flows.
