1 Mixed and Mixed Hybrid Finite Element Methods: Theory, Implementation and Applications Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences Leipzig, Germany

2 Introduction Objective Offer the skills to be able to set, analyse and implement a mixed or mixed hybrid finite element method for second order partial differential equations.

3 Introduction Lecture organization Two hours weekly. Desirable: Some of you to take on from me some tasks in the frame of the lecture, study and present them in the form of a paper. Exercises: I will always let you some exercises, it would be very good if you will solve them and come and discuss the solution (if necessary) with me.

4 Introduction Knowledge requirements Numerical mathematics, A. Quarteroni et al., Numerical Mathematics, Numerical methods for partial differential equations, P. Knabner and L. Angermann, Numerical methods for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations, Functional Analysis, B. Rynne and M. Youngson, Linear functional analysis, 2000.

5 Introduction What are Mixed Finite Element Methods? They are FE methods founded on a variational principle expressing an equilibrium (saddle point) condition and not a minimization principle (conforming FE). MFEM approximate both a scalar variable (e.g. pressure) and a vector variable (its gradient, the flux) simultaneously; from here comes also the name mixed. They are nonconforming methods in the sense that the primal variable is not necessary continuous, as in the case of conforming FE.

6 Introduction History It was first introduced by engineers in the 1960 s to solve problems in solid continua: Fraeijs de Veubeke, 1965 Hellan, 1967 Hermann, 1967

7 Introduction Why MFEM Local conservation. Very important when the equation to be discretized corresponds to a conservation law (usually mass). Example: t c + q = f mass conservation, (1) q = D c Fick s law of diffusion. (2) MFEM: The equation (1) holds not only global, but also locally on each simplex. The same property we have by the finite volume (FV), not on each simplex but on each control volumina.

8 Introduction Why MFEM An intrinsic and accurate approximation of the flux. Transport equation (convection-diffusion equation): t (Θc) (D c) + (qc) = R The flux q is much important than the pressure, a good approximation of it is of great interest. MFEM: the normal component of the discrete flux is continuous over edges, because the flux is in H(div; Ω). By FE, the flux is only in L 2 (Ω) d, so no continuity.

9 Introduction Why MFEM Error estimates (Poisson equation, enough regularity for the domain, homogeneuos boundary conditions, regular triangulation, smooth data;): FE : u u h 0 + u u h 0 Ch MFEM(RT 0 ) : u u h 0 + q q h div Ch MFEM(BDM1) : u u h 0 + q q h div Ch q q h 0 Ch 2

10 Richy versus Feflow Richy (left pressure, right flux)

11 Richy versus Feflow Feflow (left pressure, right flux) Simulations performed by Ch. Kohlepp, Univ. Erlangen-Nuernberg.

12 Richy versus Feflow Why MFEM Applicable for equations with jumps in the coefficients and irregular geometries. heterogeneous soil or materials. anisotrop soil or materials. sophisticated domains.

15 Applications: I. Reactive transport in porous medium An appropiate model for the water flow in porous media is Richards equation (here in the pressure formulation): t Θ(ψ) K(ψ) (ψ + z) = 0 in J Ω Water content: θ(ψ) [0, 1] Pressure head: ψ Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity: K(ψ) Height against the gravitational direction: z Time interval: J = (0,T) Domain: Ω in IR d (d = 1, 2 or 3)

31 Applications: II. Drug release from collagen matrices Modelling drug release from collagen matrices Department of Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmacy, University of Munich, Germany

32 Applications: II. Drug release from collagen matrices Motivation Matrix systems of insoluble collagen are a promising and advantageous drug delivery system for prolonged protein release over several days. Applications Collagen implants have been evaluated for tumor treatment, bone, and nerve regeneration as well as therapy of infections. Goal Optimizing the controlled release from degradable collagen matrices.

33 Applications: II. Drug release from collagen matrices To describe PHASE I: Swelling (very short, min), free boundary problem, front-tracking method: Bonnerot and Jamet.

34 Applications: II. Drug release from collagen matrices PHASE II: diffusion of the enzyme in the matrix, adsorption of the enzyme from the fluid to the collagen fibers, enzymatic degradation of the polymer, enzyme activity (death), drug release.

35 Enzymatic degradation The general behaviour of an enzymatically catalyzed degradation process can be summarized by the equations: E + S k 1 ES k 2 ES P + E k 1 = the constant rate of formation of the enzyme-substrate complex. k 2 = the catalysis rate.

36 Mathematical model: Enzymatic degradation t C E (D E (C K ) C E ) + k akt C E = 1 + k 1 (C E ) α k 1 MaxSorp (C E) C α K + k 2 C γ ES, t C ES = 1 + k 1 (C E ) α k 1 MaxSorp (C E) C α K k 2 C γ ES, t C K = k 1 (C E ) α C K, t C P (D P C P ) = k 2 C γ ES.

37 Drug release The model for the enzymatic degradation is validated by comparison of the experimentally obtained data with the numerically simulated data for the collagen.

38 Drug release The model for the enzymatic degradation is validated by comparison of the experimentally obtained data with the numerically simulated data for the collagen. Next step: Drug Release The release of the active agent is governed by a diffusion equation with a source term due to liberation of the immobilized active agent by matrix degradation: t C A (D A (C K ) C A ) = t (C Ai ), where C A, C Ai denote the concentrations of free and immobilized drug.

39 Drug release We assume C Ai = f(c A, C K ) the simplest approach: C Ai = σc K ( Tzafriri 2000) C Ai C Ai = σc 2 K = σ C K σ can be obtained experimentally (if one considers release from a collagen matrices, without enzyme (i.e. no degradation), the concentration of the collagen remaining in the matrix gives us CAi 0, and therefore also σ.) the form of the function f is determinated by fitting a set of release data and then validated for an other one.
