Data structure and information

Put a description of the data structure

Hint:

JTCAM curation policy

First things first: JTCAM data editors are here to help!

Second: the JTCAM data curation policy can be found here: https://zenodo.org/communities/jtcam/curation-policy

JTCAM editors wish to follow the FAIR principles regarding the open data and algorithms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAIR_data

The intention is to publish data relevant to the JTCAM paper. This includes:



Raw data used to produce Figures

Experimental data

Simulation Input and Output

Algorithms (software, scripts)


This dataset contains the numerical results underlying the figures in the publication.
The data are organized into subdirectories for one-dimensional and two-dimensional benchmark problems, and into a dedicated folder for the figure datasets.

In essence, this Open Data approach will allow reproducibility and an easy analysis by another research group.

Data structure and information

Authors are required to provide one README.md file per directory to help
 navigation through the data

Here the authors are expected to provide a full description of the directories

Paper Description

We develop a micromorphic-based approach for finite element stabilization of reaction-convection-diffusion equations, by gradient enhancement of the field of interest via introducing an auxiliary variable. The well-posedness of the coupled-field approach is established, together with an error estimate. Through a set of 1D and 2D numerical examples the high accuracy and enhanced stability of the approach in approximating solutions associated with complex problems is demonstrated, for situations of varying reactivity and convection.
