VEM Project
EPSRC Research project. Grant EP/L022745/1. July 2014 - May 2016.
The Virtual Element Method (VEM): a novel paradigm for the numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs).
Objectives of the VEM project
- Foundations of VEM: analysis of the theoretical and practical aspects characterising the VEM.
- Development of new VEMs: devise new methods for classical but difficult mathematical models such as steady and unsteady reaction-convection-diffusion problem and the steady Stokes problem.
- Design of adaptive/multiscale methods: analysis and implementation of advanced techniques for the resolution of important localised effects and thus enabling to fully exploit the flexibility of the VEM
approach. - Software development: implement all techniques developed as public domain software, in order to consolidate and disseminate the knowledge acquired.
