Abstract

A finite element method employing the trilinear element with a bubble function derived by the Petrov-Galerkin procedure is presented in this paper, which is equivalent to the stabilized finite element method in case of the P1 approximation in certaion problems such as steady advection-diffusion and viscous fluid flows. As an approximated function of the weighting function, the trilinear interpolation function with a special bubble function called stabilized bubble is used. The stabilized bubble element is establised using the stabilized bubble function with a control parameter, of which the shape can be changed to attain optimal numerical viscousity.
