Description:
We investigate spectral deferred correction (SDC) methods for time stepping
and their interplay with spatio-temporal adaptivity, applied to the solution
of the cardiac electro-mechanical coupling model. This model consists
of the Monodomain equations, a reaction-diffusion system modeling the cardiac
bioelectrical activity, coupled with a quasi-static mechanical model describing
the contraction and relaxation of the cardiac muscle. The numerical
approximation of the cardiac electro-mechanical coupling is a challenging
multiphysics problem, because it exhibits very different spatial and temporal
scales. Therefore, spatio-temporal adaptivity is a promising approach
to reduce the computational complexity. SDC methods are simple iterative
methods for solving collocation systems. We exploit their flexibility for combining
them in various ways with spatio-temporal adaptivity. The accuracy
and computational complexity of the resulting methods are studied on some
numerical examples.
