Drawing from Larson-Bengzon FEM book, I wanted to experiment with transport instabilities. It looks there might be an instability in my ocean-ice model but before being able to address that,…

How do Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions affect Finite Element Methods variational formulations?
To solve a classical second-order differential problem with FEM, we first need to derive its weak formulation. This is achieved by multiplying the equation by a test function…
What is the difference between Finite Differences and Finite Element Methods?
With Finite Differences, we discretize space (i.e. we put a grid on it) and we seek the values of the solution function at the mesh points. We still solve a…
