Abstract

We present a time-space flux-corrected transport (FCT) finite element formulation for the multi-dimensional time-dependent advection-diffusion-reaction equation. Monotonic solutions can be achieved with the presented method while large time steps (with Courant number Cr>1) are used. Numerical verification, as well as a grid convergence analysis, are carried out for 1D and 2D benchmark problems. A 1D Burgers' equation with various Reynolds numbers is solved with the time-space FCT method. In addition, a 2D transport problem with (and without) a nonlinear reaction inside of a cavity is considered. Finally, the newly developed time-space FCT formulation is applied for modeling biofilm growth problems based on a continuum mathematical model. It turns out that the time-space FCT method helps to reduce numerical dissipation and guarantees comparable numerical dispersion of the solution at the same time comparing to numerical solutions obtained by a time-space finite incremental calculus (FIC) method.
