Johnson, I. W.; Wathen, A. J.; Baines, M. J. Moving finite element methods for evolutionary problems. II: Applications. (English) Zbl 0665.65072 J. Comput. Phys. 79, No. 2, 270-297 (1988). [For part I see ibid. 79, No.2, 245-269 (1988; reviewed above).] Authors’ summary: In this, the second of two papers on the subject, we present applications of the moving finite element method to a number of test problems. Key features are linear elements, a direct approach to parallelism and node overtaking (avoiding penalty functions), rapid inversion of the mass matrix by preconditioned conjugate gradients, and explicit Euler time stepping. The resulting codes are fast and efficient and are able to follow fronts and similar features with great accuracy. The paper includes a substantial section on changes of dependent variable and front tracking techniques for nonlinear diffusion problems. Test problems include non-linear hyperbolic conservation laws and non-linear parabolic equations in one and two dimensions.
