Abstract

The paper deals with the Fourier-finite-element method for solving elliptic problems in three-dimensional axisymmetric domains and gives some survey of this approach to Poisson-like equations. The method combines the approximating Fourier method with the finite-element method and reduces the solution of a problem in 3D to the solution of coupled or even decoupled systems of elliptic problems in 2D. Algorithmic aspects of this method, its parallelization and basic results of the numerical analysis, particularly for the Poisson equation in domains with edges, are discussed. The results are illustrated by some numerical example, where the rate of convergence of the Fourier-finite-element approximation and the run time for partial computational steps are given.
