Abstract
The automated approximation of solutions to differential equations which involve discontinuities across evolving surfaces is addressed. Finite element technology has developed to the point where it is now possible to model evolving discontinuities independently of the underlying mesh, which is particularly useful in simulating failure of solids. However, the approach remains tedious to program, particularly in the case of coupled problems where a variety of finite element bases are employed and where a mixture of continuous and discontinuous fields may be used. We tackle this point by exploring the scope for employing automated code generation techniques for modelling discontinuities. Function spaces and variational forms are defined in a language that resembles mathematical notation, and computer code for modelling discontinuities is automatically generated. Principles underlying the approach are elucidated and a number of two- and three-dimensional examples for different equations are presented.
Highlights
The computational modelling of evolving discontinuities has witnessed considerable advances in recent times
Such methods are known as the extended finite element method [2, 3] and the generalised finite element method [4]
We present here our efforts towards the automated solution of partial differential equations which involve evolving discontinuities in the solution
Summary
The computational modelling of evolving discontinuities has witnessed considerable advances in recent times. In the definition of the finite element spaces, we have deliberately permitted the use of different order functions for ūh and ûh since it will be straightforward using the form compiler to generate code for k1 6= k2 .
