Spatial domain is discretised by a numerical mesh consisting of a finite number of contiguous control volumes of completely arbitrary topology. |
|
The elliptic boundary value problem that has to be solved in every time-step is discretised by the standard finite element method. |
|
To make comparisons between depths, treatments, and regions, the depth was discretised in intervals of 50 mm. |
|
The columns were discretised with 6 rectilinear two node finite elements, while the beams were discretised with the 14 rectilinear two node finite elements. |
|
The conservation equations are discretised by the finite volume method and the resulting algebraic equations are solved by standard linear solvers. |
