In this work the residual-based variational multiscale method is presented in a discontinuous Galerkin framework. This so-called ‘DG-RVMS’ strategy is developed, extensively verified, and tested on a more complex case.<br/><br/>The proposed DG-RVMS paradigm consists of three principle components. First, the perelement weak form is coupled by...

Among the advantages of crystalline silicon hetero-junction (SHJ) there is the possibility to use a thin c-Si wafer that is bendable, but still has a power conversion efficiency higher than commercially avail- able thin film (TF) modules. Nowadays, all the photovoltaic applications on curved surfaces use TF technologies, however their low power...
