Abstract

This paper presents a finite-element dimension splitting algorithm (DSA) for a three-dimensional (3D) elliptic equation in a cubic domain. The main idea of DSA is that a 3D elliptic equation can be transformed into a series of two-dimensional (2D) elliptic equations in the X–Y plane along the Z-direction. The convergence speed of the DSA for a 3D elliptic equation depends mainly on the mesh scale of the Z-direction. P 2 finite-element discretization in the Z-direction for DSA is adopted to accelerate the convergence speed of DSA. The error estimates are given for DSA applying P 1 or P 2 finite-element discretization in the Z-direction. Finally, some numerical examples are presented. We apply the parallel solving technology to our numerical examples and obtain good parallel efficiency. These numerical experiments test and verify theoretical results.
