In this work we derive a formulation for discontinuous diffusion tensor for the Discrete Duality Finite Volume (DDFV) framework that is exact for affine solutions. In fact, DDFV methods can naturally handle anisotropic or non-linear problems on general distorded meshes. Nonetheless, a special treatment is required when the diffusion tensor is discontinuous across an internal interfaces shared by two control volumes of the mesh. In such a case, two different gradients are considered in the two subdiamonds centered at that interface and the flux conservation is imposed through an auxiliary variable at the interface.

Abstract

In this work we derive a formulation for discontinuous diffusion tensor for the Discrete Duality Finite Volume (DDFV) framework that is exact for affine solutions. In fact, DDFV methods can naturally handle anisotropic or non-linear problems on general distorded meshes. Nonetheless, a special treatment is required when the diffusion tensor is discontinuous across an internal interfaces shared by two control volumes of the mesh. In such a case, two different gradients are considered in the two subdiamonds centered at that interface and the flux conservation is imposed through an auxiliary variable at the interface.
