Efficient Realization of the Mixed Finite Element Discretization for nonlinear Problems

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider implementational aspects of the mixed finite element method for a special class of nonlinear problems. We establish the equivalence of the hybridized formulation of the mixed finite element method to a nonconforming finite element method with augmented Crouzeix-Raviart ansatz space. We discuss the reduction of unknowns by static condensation and propose Newton's method for the solution of local and global systems. Finally, we show, how such a nonlinear problem arises from the mixed formulation of Darcy-Forchheimer flow in porous media.
