Abstract

This paper presents evolutionary optimization of explicit approximations of the empirical Colebrook’s equation that is used for the calculation of the turbulent friction factor (λ), i.e., for the calculation of turbulent hydraulic resistance in hydraulically smooth [...]

Abstract

In this talk, we present continuous space-time finite element methods for solving quasilinear parabolic problems. We present a discretization error analysis. We present numerical results which confirm the theoretical convergence rate estimates.
