Projection-Grid Schemes on Irregular Grids for a Parabolic Equation

Abstract

A family of projection-grid schemes has been constructed for approximating parabolic equations with a variable diffusion coefficient in tensor form. The schemes are conservative and retain the self-adjointness of the original differential operator and are destined for calculations on 3D irregular difference grids, including tetrahedral, mixed (grids of arbitrary polyhedra), and locally adaptive (octal-tree type).
