Abstract
In this paper, attention is focused on the study of the secant and Newton
methods for solving nonlinear equations of air pressure distribution arising in finite
element simulation of grain bin aeration problems. Element secant and tangential
stiffness matrices for 2-D, 3-D and axisymmetric problems are deduced. The numerical
examples show that the Newton method possesses the property of asymptotic rate of
quadratic convergence, which can largely improve the computational efficiency of the
finite element method. In addition, such issues as stream function arid isotraverse time
line determinations are also discussed.
