Abstract In this paper the coupling of a parabolic model with a system of local kinetic equations is analyzed. A space–time separated representation is proposed for the global model (this is simply the radial approximation proposed by Pierre Ladeveze in the LATIN framework (Non‐linear Computational Structural Mechanics. Springer: New York, 1999)). The originality of the present work concerns the treatment of the local problem, that is first globalized (in space and time) and then fully globalized by introducing a new coordinate related to the different species involved in the kinetic model. Thanks to the non‐incremental nature of both discrete descriptions (the local and the global one) the coupling is quite simple and no special difficulties are encountered by using heterogeneous time integrations.
