Time-space adaptive discontinuous Galerkin method for advection-diffusion equations with non-linear reaction mechanism (Q483100)

The authors present a time-space adaptive discontinuous Galerkin scheme for the solution of convection dominated parabolic equations with nonlinear reaction mechanism. A residual based robust a posteriori error estimate is constructed to locate the regions of large errors and error bounds are estimated. A numerical algorithm based on the backward Euler method is developed. The scheme is tested for a nonlinear reaction rate, a coupled nonlinear problem with coupling through reaction term, a nonlinear advection-diffusion-reaction problem and a nonlinear advection-diffusion-reaction problem in deterministic heterogeneous porous media. The method works well for these cases.
