Why does GMRES converge much slower for large Dirichlet boundary conditions?

I'm trying to numerically solve a simple Laplace equation in 2D, with a nonlinear source term: $\nabla^2 u = u^2$ with boundary conditions as $u=0$ everywhere except for $y=1$ where $u=u_0$. I'm ...

Governing equations vs Transport equations

This is a basic question. But I did not find any explanations for this. How are governing equations, like mass, momentum, energy conservations equations, different from 'Transport equation'?. Is a ...

numpy.outer without flatten

$x$ is an $N \times M$ matrix. $y$ is a $1 \times L$ vector. I want to return "outer product" between $x$ and $y$, let's call it $z$. z[n,m,l] = x[n,m] * y[l] ...

Strain propagation from surface to bulk in COMSOL

I am trying to simulate strain propagation from the surface into the bulk. I have a rectangular semiconductor block (~2 μm thick) on top of which metal gates (~25 nm thick) are deposited as seen in ...

Should we always expect FEM error plots to be straight lines?

The error estimates in FEM are usually of the form $$||u^h-u||\leq Ch.$$ Taking logarithm on both sides, we obtain $$\log ||u^h-u||\leq \log C + \log h.$$ This estimate implies that the error lies ...
