  • Abstract
    This work presents an efficient simulation for the two-dimensional bidomain model, a non-linear system of partial differential equations which is widely used for simulation of the electrical activity of the heart. The accuracy of the solution is obtained by using an anisotropic time-dependent adaptive method. The method reduces greatly the number of element and therefore the computational time. Two-dimensional numerical results are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.
