Sensitivity analysis is important in analyzing the interplay between the species in a chemical system and for identification of critical parameters. We have derived a method for such an analysis and implemented it as a part of the model code. In the paper we present an analysis of the convergence order in space and time of our discrete model. In the model we also include transparent boundary conditions. Other topics in consideration are the handling of negative solutions, unstable error propagation and stiffness.
Numerical experiments are under way.
Her research topics are reactive fluid flow, PDEs, ODEs, finite volume methods, mixed finite element methods, robust flux schemes, adaptive timestepping, sensitivity analysis, smoothing techniques, and transparent boundary conditions.
