This paper develops the finite volume element (FVE) method, which is similar to the so-called control volume finite element method but tailored to composite grid applications. FVE is described for the ...

In advanced engineering circles, the finite element method — or, more commonly, finite element analysis — is a real staple. With the advent of more powerful home computers, though, even your home ...

An unstructured mesh finite volume discretisation method for simulating diffusion in anisotropic media in two-dimensional space is discussed. This technique is considered as an extension of the fully ...
