Finite Volume
|
||||
*************
|
||||
|
||||
Any numerical implementation requires the discretization of continuous
|
||||
functions into discrete approximations. These approximations are typically
|
||||
organized in a mesh, which defines boundaries, locations, and connectivity. Of
|
||||
specific interest to geophysical simulations, we require that averaging,
|
||||
interpolation and differential operators be defined for any mesh. In SimPEG,
|
||||
we have implemented a staggered mimetic finite volume approach (`Hyman and
|
||||
Shashkov, 1999 <http://math.lanl.gov/~mac/papers/numerics/HS99B.pdf>`_). This
|
||||
approach requires the definitions of variables at either cell-centers, nodes,
|
||||
faces, or edges as seen in the figure below.
