Adaptive techniques for computing shear stresses in biomedical flows (2012)
Master thesis
Sundt, Eline (Mathematics)
In this thesis, we investigate the application of duality-based
goal-oriented adaptive error control to the computation of
shear stresses in biomedical flow problems. As a model problem,
we conside...
