Contract Type FiledJanuary 16th, 2011Since the unknown u in equation (3.1) depends on time t and on the space coordinates xi, the numerical solution requires both time and space discretization. We use a second order Backward Difference Formula (BDF) for the time derivative and the FEM of order 2 for the space variables. In particular, we use the research C++ library LifeV, developed as a joint project among the Departments of Mathematics at the EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, the INRIA in Paris, and our department. The library has been mostly developed for applications of the FEM in blood flow and industrial problems.
