  1. A SECOND-ORDER FLUX APPROXIMATIONFOR THE MIMETIC FINITE DIFFERENCE APPROXIMATIONOF DIFFUSION PROBLEMSL. Beirao da Veiga1, K. Lipnikov2, G. Manzini3 1 Dipartimento di Matematica “G. Enriques”, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy 2 Los Alamos National Laboratory, Theoretical Division, Los Alamos, New Mexico, US 3 Istituto di Matematica Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche - CNR, Pavia, Italy INTRODUCTION.The Mimetic Finite Difference (MFD) method is designed to mimic essential properties of the PDEs and the fundamental identities of the vector and tensor calculus. The MFD method provides a low-order discretization of the diffusion equation in mixed form on general polyhedral meshes. The numerical scheme is second-order accurate for the scalar variable due to a superconvergence effect, but the flux approximation is only first-order accurate. In this work, we present a high-order extension of the MFD scheme, which is second-order accuratefor both the scalar and the flux approximation. HIGHER-ORDER FLUX APPROXIMATION DESCRIPTION. NUMERICAL RESULTS: a sequence of “randomized” grids, where refined grids are not nested into coarser meshes. THEORETICAL RESULTS: (circles) (squares) Modified P1 local consistency with non-constant diffusion tensor: P1 local consistency with constant diffusion tensor: REFERENCES L. Beirão da Veiga, K.
