Abstract

In this article a variational reduction method, how to handle the case of heterogenousdomains for the Transport equation, is presented. This method allows to get rid of therestrictions on the size of time steps due to the thin parts of the domain. In the thinpart of the domain, only a differential problem, with respect to the space variable, is tobe approximated numerically. Numerical results are presented with a simple example. Thevariational reduction method can be extended to thin domains multi-branching in 3dimensions, which is a work in progress.
