In this article, a new numerical scheme for the solution of the multidimensional fragmentation problem is presented. It is the first that uses the conservative form of the multidimensional problem. The idea to apply the finite volume scheme for solving one-dimensional linear fragmentation problems is extended over a generalized multidimensional setup. The derivation is given in detail for two-dimensional and three-dimensional problems; an outline for the extension to higher dimensions is also presented. Additionally, the existing one-dimensional finite volume scheme for solving conservative one-dimensional multi-fragmentation equation is extended to solve multidimensional problems. The accuracy and efficiency of both proposed schemes is analyzed for several test problems.

Fragmentation Equation

This paper concerns the construction and analysis of a numerical scheme for a mixed discrete-continuous fragmentation equation. A finite volume scheme is developed, based on a conservative formulation of a truncated version of the equations. The approximate solutions provided by this scheme are first shown to display conservation of mass and preservation of nonnegativity. Then, by utilising a Dunford-Pettis style argument, the sequence of approximate solutions generated is shown, under given restrictions on the model and the mesh, to converge (weakly) in an appropriate L1 space to a weak solution to the problem. By applying the methods and theory of operator semigroups, we are able to show that these weak solutions are unique and necessarily classical (differentiable) solutions, a degree of regularity not generally established when finite volume schemes are applied to such problems. Furthermore, this approach enabled us to derive a bound for the error induced by the truncation of the mass domain, and also establish the convergence of the truncated solutions as the truncation point is increased without bound. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to investigate the performance of the scheme and assess its rate of convergence as the mesh is refined, whilst also verifying the bound on the truncation error.

This paper deals with construction and convergence analysis of a finite volume scheme for compressible/incompressible (gas–water) flows in porous media. The convergence properties of finite volume schemes or finite element scheme are only known for incompressible fluids. We present a new result of convergence in a two or three dimensional porous medium and under the only consideration that the density of gas depends on global pressure. In comparison with incompressible fluid, compressible fluids requires more powerful techniques; especially the discrete energy estimates are not standard.

We consider the cell-centered finite-volume scheme with the quasi-one-dimensional reconstruction and generalize it to anisotropic prismatic meshes suitable for high-Reynolds-number problems. We offer a new algorithm of flux computation based on the reconstruction along the wall surface, whereas in the original schemes it was along the tangent to the wall surface. We also study how does the curvature of mesh elements influence the accuracy if taken into account.

This paper introduces a general computational model for electronic packages, e.g., cabinets that contain electronic equipment. A simplified physical model, which combines principles of classical thermodynamics and heat transfer, is developed and the resulting three-dimensional differential equations are discretized in space using a three-dimensional cell centered finite volume scheme. Therefore, the combination of the proposed simplified physical model with the adopted finite volume scheme for the numerical discretization of the differential equations is called a volume element model (VEM). A typical cabinet was built in the laboratory, and two different experimental conditions were tested, measuring the temperatures at forty-six internal points. The proposed model was utilized to simulate numerically the behavior of the cabinet operating under the same experimental conditions. Mesh refinements were conducted to ensure the convergence of the numerical results. The converged mesh was relatively coarse (504 cells), therefore the solutions were obtained with low computational time. The model temperature results were directly compared to the steady-state experimental measurements of the forty-six internal points, with good quantitative and qualitative agreement. Since accuracy and low computational time are combined, the model is shown to be efficient and could be used as a tool for simulation, design, and optimization of electronic packages.
