A mixed finite element method for boundary flux computation. (English) Zbl 0587.76143

Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 57, 239-243 (1986).
Most finite element schemes for thermal problems estimate boundary heat flux directly from the derivative of the finite element solution. The boundary flux calculated by this approach is typically inaccurate and does not guarantee a global heat balance. In this paper we present a mixed finite element method for calculating the boundary flux and show the superiority of this method through numerical examples of both diffusion and advection-diffusion problems.
