Conservative Finite Volume Schemes for Multidimensional Fragmentation Problems

In this article, a new numerical scheme for the solution of the multidimensional fragmentation problem is presented. It is the first that uses the conservative form of the multidimensional problem. The idea to apply the finite volume scheme for solving one-dimensional linear fragmentation problems i...
