Unconditionally optimal error Estimate of a linearized Second-order Fully Discrete Finite Element Method for the bioconvection flows with concentration dependent viscosity
Abstract
In this paper, the coupled and decoupled BDF2 finite element discrete schemes are obtained for the time-dependent bioconvection flows problem with concentration dependent viscosity, which consisting of the Navier-Stokes equation coupled with a linear convection-diffusion equation modeling the concentration of microorganisms in a culture fluid. The unconditionally optimal error estimate for the velocity and concentration in $L^2$-norm and $H^1$-norm are proved by using finite element approximations in space and finite differences in time. Finally, the numerical results for different viscosity are showed to support the theoretical analysis.
