A Reduced Order Model for Domain Decompositions with Non-conforming Interfaces

In this paper, we propose a reduced-order modeling strategy for two-way Dirichlet-Neumann parametric coupled problems solved with domain-decomposition (DD) sub-structuring methods. We split the original coupled differential problem into two sub-problems wi ...

Entropy stable essentially non-oscillatory methods based on RBF reconstructions

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Fabian Mönkeberg

To solve hyperbolic conservation laws on general grids we propose to use high-order essentially nonoscillatory methods based on radial basis functions. We introduce an entropy stable arbitrary high-order finite dierence method (RBF-TeCNOp) and an entropy s ...

Numerical analysis of fragmentation in tempered glass with parallel dynamic insertion of cohesive elements

Jean-François Molinari, Mauro Corrado, Marco Vocialta

Tempered glass panes are subjected to high eigenstresses that induce a state of compression along the surfaces and a state of tension in the inner part. Whenever a crack reaches the tensile region, it rapidly propagates and branches in all directions drive ...

A posteriori error estimation for the steady Navier-Stokes equations in random domains

Fabio Nobile, Marco Picasso, Diane Sylvie Guignard

We consider finite element error approximations of the steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations defined on a randomly perturbed domain, the perturbation being small. Introducing a random mapping, these equations are transformed into PDEs on a fixed re ...

Extending the lifetime of hyperpolarisation

Xiao Ji

In nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), one of the most serious inherent challenges is the low sensibility of nuclei. In order to enhance the signal of NMR experiments, the technique of dynamic nuclear hyperpolarisation (DNP) was introduced in the 1950s, lead ...

3D ALE Finite-Element Method for Two-Phase Flows With Phase Change

John Richard Thome, Navid Borhani, Gustavo Rabello Dos Anjos

We seek to study numerically two-phase flow phenomena with phase change through the finite-element method (FEM) and the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) framework. This method is based on the so-called one-fluid formulation; thus, only one set of equati ...
