Abstract

We revise the finite element formulation for Lagrange, Raviart- Thomas, and Taylor-Hood finite element spaces. We solve Laplace equation in first and second order formulation, and compare the solutions obtained with Lagrange and Raviart-Thomas finite element spaces by changing the order of the shape functions and the refinement level of the mesh. Finally, we solve Navier-Stokes equations in a two dimensional domain, where the solution is a steady state, and in a three dimensional domain, where the system presents a turbulent behaviour. All numerical experiments are computed using MFEM library, which is also studied.
