A Comparison of Least-Squares Finite Element Models with the Conventional Finite Element Models of Problems in Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics
In this thesis, least-squares based finite element models (LSFEM) for the Poisson equation and Navier-Stokes equation are presented. The least-squares method is simple, general and reliable. Least-squares formulations offer several computational and theoretical advantages. The resulting coefficient...
