All Theses
The \(H_{div}\) vector space arises in a number of mixed method formulations, particularly in fluid flow through a porous medium. First we present a Lagrangian computational basis for the Raviert-Thomas (\(RT\)) and Brezzi-Douglas-Marini (\(BDM\)) approximation subspaces of \(H_{div}\) in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\). Second, we offer three solutions to a numerical problem that arises from the Piola mapping when \(RT\) and \(BDM\) elements are used in practice.
