| contents | This work aims at presenting a Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) formulation employing a spectral basis for two important models employed in cardiac electrophysiology, namely the monodomain and bidomain models. The use of DG methods is motivated by the characteristic of the mathematical solution of such equations which often corresponds to a highly steep wavefront. Hence, the built-in flexibility of discontinuous methods in developing adaptive approaches, combined with the high-order accuracy, can well represent the underlying physics. The choice of a semi-implicit time integration allows for a fast solution at each time step. The article includes some numerical tests to verify the convergence properties and the physiological behaviour of the numerical solution. Also, a pseudo-realistic simulation turns out to fully reconstruct the propagation of the electric potential, comprising the phases of depolarization and repolarization, by overcoming the typical issues related to the steepness of the wave front. |
