We show how a stable and accurate hybrid procedure for fluid flow can be constructed. Two separate solvers, one using high order finite difference methods and another using the node-centered unstructured finite volume method are coupled in a truly stable way. The two flow solvers run independently and receive and send information from each other by using a third coupling code. Exact solutions t...

In this paper, we describe an efficient method for 3D image segmentation. The method uses a PDE model – the so called generalized subjective surface equation which is an equation of advection-diffusion type. The main goal is to develop an efficient and stable numerical method for solving this problem. The numerical solution is based on semi-implicit time discretization and flux-based level set ...

In this paper, we are interested in the numerical approximation of the classical time-dependent drift-diffusion system near quasi-neutrality. We consider a fully implicit in time and finite volume in space scheme, where the convection-diffusion fluxes are approximated by ScharfetterGummel fluxes. We establish that all the a priori estimates needed to prove the convergence of the scheme does not...

Abstract. We show stability and consistency of the linear semi-implicit complementary volume numerical scheme for solving the regularized, in the sense of Evans and Spruck, mean curvature flow equation in the level set formulation. The numerical method is based on the finite volume methodology using so-called complementary volumes to a finite element triangulation. The scheme gives solution in ...

We consider a simple advection equation in space dimension one and the linearized shallow water equations in space dimension two and describe and implement two different multilevel finite volume discretizations in the context of the utilization of the incremental methods with time explicit or semi-explicit schemes.
