5. Examples of numerical simulations
The system of equations presented in paragraph 4 is highly nonlinear and coupled. Its resolution requires the use of numerical tools. The use of finite difference or finite element type resolution techniques is fairly easy to implement on such equations, which are all of the "advection/diffusion with source term" format. The aim of this document is by no means to list efficient numerical techniques for solving this type of equation,...
