Numerical Methods for partial differential equations

Here you can find a list of numerical methods.

Subdiving a large system into smaller parts called finite elements.

Then over each element, a trial polynomial function is fitted into the PDE, with a residual representing the error.

This process results in :

  • a set of algebraic equations for steady-state problems
  • a set of ordinary differential equations for transient problems
  • variational problem
  • solution space (basis of the finite space)
  • sparse matrix
  • Function
  • Sparse Symetric Matrix System Resolution
  • Integration

For steady-state problems

  • linear solver For transient problems
  • ordinary differential equation solver (Euler, Runge-Kutta)
  • Spacial Discretization
