Moving Finite Element Method

<p>This book focuses on process simulation in chemical engineering with a numerical algorithm based on the moving finite element method (MFEM). It offers new tools and approaches for modeling and simulating time-dependent problems with moving fronts and with moving boundaries described by time-dependent convection-reaction-diffusion partial differential equations in one or two-dimensional space domains. It provides a comprehensive account of the development of the moving finite element method describing and analyzing the theoretical and practical aspects of the MFEM for models in 1D 1D+1d and 2D space domains. Mathematical models are universal and the book reviews successful applications of MFEM to solve engineering problems. It covers a broad range of application algorithm to engineering problems namely on separation and reaction processes presenting and discussing relevant numerical applications of the moving finite element method derived from real-world process simulations.</p>
