- Moving Finite Element MethodPublication . Coimbra, M. D. C.; Rodrigues, Alirio Egidio; Rodrigues, Jaime Duarte; Robalo, Rui J.; Almeida, Rui M.P.His 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.
- A reaction-diffusion model for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations with moving boundaries: Existence, uniqueness, exponential decay and simulationPublication . Robalo, Rui J.; Almeida, Rui M.P.; Coimbra, M. D. C.; Ferreira, JorgeThe aim of this paper is to establish the existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behaviour of a strong regular solution for a class of nonlinear equations of reaction–diffusion nonlocal type with moving boundaries:where is a bounded non-cylindrical domain defined byMoreover, we study the properties of the solution and implement a numerical algorithm based on the Moving Finite Element Method (MFEM) with polynomial approximations of any degree, to solve this class of problems. Some numerical tests are investigated to evaluate the performance of our Matlab code based on the MFEM and illustrate the exponential decay of the solution.
