Object oriented design philosophy for scientific computing

Philippe R. B. Devloo, Gustavo C. Longhin (2002)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

This contribution gives an overview of current research in applying object oriented programming to scientific computing at the computational mechanics laboratory (LABMEC) at the school of civil engineering – UNICAMP. The main goal of applying object oriented programming to scientific computing is to implement increasingly complex algorithms in a structured manner and to hide the complexity behind a simple user interface. The following areas are current topics of research and documented within the...

Observability properties of a semi-discrete 1d wave equation derived from a mixed finite element method on nonuniform meshes

Sylvain Ervedoza (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The goal of this article is to analyze the observability properties for a space semi-discrete approximation scheme derived from a mixed finite element method of the 1d wave equation on nonuniform meshes. More precisely, we prove that observability properties hold uniformly with respect to the mesh-size under some assumptions, which, roughly, measures the lack of uniformity of the meshes, thus extending the work [Castro and Micu, Numer. Math.102 (2006) 413–462] to nonuniform meshes. Our results...

On a 1-D model of stress relaxation in an annealed glass

Vladimír Janovský, David Just (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

A 1-D model of a slab of glass of a small thickness is considered. The governing equations are those of the classical 1-D linear viscoelasticity. A load due to the temperature gradients is assumed. The aim is to model the process called annealing. It is shown that an additional load due to structural strain is crucial for the success of the model. Algorithms of a numerical solution of the governing equations are proposed. Numerical results are presented and commented.

On a constrained minimization problem arising in hemodynamics

João Janela, Adélia Sequeira (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Experimental evidence collected over the years shows that blood exhibits non-Newtonian characteristics such as shear-thinning, viscoelasticity, yield stress and thixotropic behaviour. Under certain conditions these characteristics become relevant and must be taken into consideration when modelling blood flow. In this work we deal with incompressible generalized Newtonian fluids, that account for the non-constant viscosity of blood, and present a new numerical method to handle fluid-rigid body interaction...

On a diphasic low Mach number system

Stéphane Dellacherie (2005)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We propose a Diphasic Low Mach Number (DLMN) system for the modelling of diphasic flows without phase change at low Mach number, system which is an extension of the system proposed by Majda in [Center of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Berkeley, report No. 112] and [Combust. Sci. Tech. 42 (1985) 185–205] for low Mach number combustion problems. This system is written for a priori any equations of state. Under minimal thermodynamic hypothesis which are satisfied by a large class of generalized van...

On a hybrid finite-volume-particle method

Alina Chertock, Alexander Kurganov (2004)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We present a hybrid finite-volume-particle numerical method for computing the transport of a passive pollutant by a flow. The flow is modeled by the one- and two-dimensional Saint-Venant system of shallow water equations and the pollutant propagation is described by a transport equation. This paper is an extension of our previous work [Chertock, Kurganov and Petrova, J. Sci. Comput. (to appear)], where the one-dimensional finite-volume-particle method has been proposed. The core idea behind the...

On a method for a-posteriori error estimation of approximate solutions to parabolic problems

Juraj Weisz (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The aim of the paper is to derive a method for the construction of a-posteriori error estimate to approximate solutions to parabolic initial-boundary value problems. The computation of the suggested error bound requires only the computation of a finite number of systems or linear algebraic equations. These systems can be solved parallelly. It is proved that the suggested a-posteriori error estimate tends to zero if the approximation tends to the true solution.

On a nonlinear stationary problem in unbounded domains.

Carlos Frederico Vasconcellos (1992)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We study existence and some properties of solutions of the nonlinear elliptic equation N(x,a(u))Lu = f in unbounded domains. The above method is not a variational problem. Our techniques involve fixed point arguments and Galerkin method.

On a parabolic problem with nonlinear Newton boundary conditions

Miloslav Feistauer, Karel Najzar, Karel Švadlenka (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The paper is concerned with the study of a parabolic initial-boundary value problem with nonlinear Newton boundary condition considered in a two-dimensional domain. The goal is to prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution to the problem in the case when the nonlinearity in the Newton boundary condition does not satisfy any monotonicity condition and to analyze the finite element approximation.

On a Parallel Implementation of the Mortar Element Method

Gassav S. Abdoulaev, Yves Achdou, Yuri A. Kuznetsov, Christophe Prud'homme (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We discuss a parallel implementation of the domain decomposition method based on the macro-hybrid formulation of a second order elliptic equation and on an approximation by the mortar element method. The discretization leads to an algebraic saddle- point problem. An iterative method with a block- diagonal preconditioner is used for solving the saddle- point problem. A parallel implementation of the method is emphasized. Finally the results of numerical experiments are presented.
