Abstract Details

2006, Master of Science, University of Akron, Applied Mathematics.
Mathematical models of physical processes often include partial differential equations (PDEs). Oftentimes solving PDEs analytically is not feasible and a numerical method is implemented to obtain an approximate solution. Too often the assumption is made that the solution should be trusted when codes are prone to implementation errors. Code verification is a field of mathematics that shows the algorithm has been implemented without mistakes and has correctly solved the problem. Currently no one method of code verification is universally accepted. The Method of Manufactured Exact Solutions (MMES) is the most commonly used, but it has a considerable disadvantage of altering the code after verification. We have developed a new method, Completely Residual Based Code Verification (CRBCV), which does not require any modification. By using several solution methods, we have shown that CRBCV is dependable when verifying the heat equation with linear and nonlinear source terms and a frontal polymerization model.
