Numerical methods for phase transition problems

Claudio Verdi (1998)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

Nel presente articolo si illustrano alcuni dei principali metodi numerici per l'approssimazione di modelli matematici legati ai fenomeni di transizione di fase. Per semplificare e contenere l'esposizione ci siamo limitati a discutere con un certo dettaglio i metodi più recenti, presentandoli nel caso di problemi modello, quali il classico problema di Stefan e l'evoluzione di superficie per curvatura media, solo accennando alle applicazioni e modelli più generali.

Grid adjustment based on a posteriori error estimators

Karel Segeth (1993)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The adjustment of one-dimensional space grid for a parabolic partial differential equation solved by the finite element method of lines is considered in the paper. In particular, the approach based on a posteriori error indicators and error estimators is studied. A statement on the rate of convergence of the approximation of error by estimator to the error in the case of a system of parabolic equations is presented.

Anisotropic mesh adaption: application to computational fluid dynamics

Simona Perotto (2005)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

In this communication we focus on goal-oriented anisotropic adaption techniques. Starting point has been the derivation of suitable anisotropic interpolation error estimates for piecewise linear finite elements, on triangular grids in 2 ⁢ D . Then we have merged these interpolation estimates with the dual-based a posteriori error analysis proposed by R. Rannacher and R. Becker. As examples of this general anisotropic a posteriori analysis, elliptic, advection-diffusion-reaction and the Stokes...

A posteriori error estimation and adaptivity in the method of lines with mixed finite elements

Jan Brandts (1999)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We will investigate the possibility to use superconvergence results for the mixed finite element discretizations of some time-dependent partial differential equations in the construction of a posteriori error estimators. Since essentially the same approach can be followed in two space dimensions, we will, for simplicity, consider a model problem in one space dimension.
