This algorithm, which is based on the Least-squares FEM in combination with a scaling transformation, presents a good approximation of a diffusion operator in diffusive regimes and guarantees an accurate discrete solution. The numerical experiments in 2D and 3D case are given, and the numerical results show that this algorithm is correct and efficient.展开更多

Firstly we approximate the scattering coefficients and source terms by piecewise constants determined by their cell averages. Then for each cell, following the work of De Barros and Larsen [1, 19], the solution at the cell edge is approximated by its average along the edge. As a result, the solution of the system of equations for the cell edge averages in each cell can be obtained analytically. Finally, we piece together the numerical solution with the neighboring cells using the interface conditions. When there is no interface or boundary layer, this method is asymptotic-preserving, which implies that coarse meshes （meshes that do not resolve the mean free path） can be used to obtain good numerical approximations. Moreover, the uniform first-order convergence with respect to the mean free path is shown numerically and the rigorous proof is provided.展开更多

The dynamics of this effect depends on the ratio of the diffusion flux of the sensor-coating layer to the total adsorbed gas species on the electrode surface.The smaller the ratio is,the slower the dynamic mechanism will be.展开更多
