“…Fast and reliable numerical methods for related problems in two and three space dimensions include stable FE methods [37,49], discontinuous Galerkin methods [18], finite volume (FV) formulations [5,11], finite difference schemes [43,47], and hybrid/combined FV-FE methods [16,20,33,46]. The particular concept of FVE meth-ods (see [15]) is intermediate between finite volumes and finite elements.…”
