Numerical experiments demonstrate that the algorithm constituted by convolutional Forsyte polyno-mial differentiator has high efficiency and accuracy and needs less computational resources, so it is a numerical modeling method with much potential.展开更多

Both of them are essentially multiscales, which claims to take into account heterogeneities of very different sizes in order to provide reliable results of simulations. Locally refined spatial grids help us to avoid the use of redundantly tiny grid cells in a target area, but cause some troubles with uniform load of Processor Units involved in computations.
