A Finite Element Method Adaptive in Space and Time for Nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion- Systems.
(1992)
Large scale combustion simulations show the need for adaptive methods. First, to save computation time and mainly to resolve local and instationary phenomena. In contrast to the widespread method of lines, we look at the reaction- diffusion equations as an abstract Cauchy problem in an appropriate Hilbert space. This means, we first discretize in time, assuming the space problems solved up to a prescribed tolerance. So, we are able to control the space and time error separately in an adaptive approach. The time discretization is done by several adaptive Runge-Kutta methods whereas for the space discretization a finite element method is used. The different behaviour of the proposed approaches are demonstrated on many fundamental examples from ecology, flame propagation, electrodynamics and combustion theory. {\bf Keywords:} initial boundary value problem, Rothe- method, adaptive Runge-Kutta method, finite elements, mesh refinement. {\bf AMS CLASSIFICATION:} 65J15, 65M30, 65M50.
Part III of the paper is devoted to the construction of an adaptive FEM solver in two spatial dimensions, which is able to handle the singularly perturbed elliptic problems arising from discretization in time. The problems of error estimation and multilevel iterative solution of the linear systems - both uniformly well behaved with respect to the time step - can be solved simultaneously within the framework of preconditioning. A multilevel nodal basis preconditioner able to handle highly nonuniform meshes is derived. As a numerical example an application of the method to the bioheat-transfer equation is included. {\bf AMS CLASSIFICATION:} 65F10, 65F35, 65M50, 65M60, 65N30.
