Computational approaches to some inverse problems from engineering practice
Development of engineering structures and technologies frequently works with advanced materials, whose properties, because of their complicated microstructure, cannot be predicted from experience, unlike traditional materials. The quality of computational modelling of relevant physical processes, based mostly on the principles of classical thermomechanics, is conditioned by the reliability of constitutive relations, coming from simplified experiments. The paper demonstrates some possibilities of...
Computational approaches to the design of low-energy buildings
European and Czech directives and technical standards, approved in several last years, force substantial changes in thermal behaviour of all buildings, including new and reconstructed one- or more-family houses, block of fl ats, etc., especially radical decrease of their energy requirements. This stimulates the development of advanced materials, structures and technologies. Since no reliable experience with their design is available, robust and non-expensive computational simulation approaches,...
Computational design optimization of low-energy buildings
European directives and related national technical standards force the substantial reduction of energy consumption of all types of buildings. This can be done thanks to the massive insulation and the improvement of quality of building enclosures, using the simple evaluation assuming the one-dimensional stationary heat conduction. However, recent applications of advanced materials, structures and technologies force the proper physical, mathematical and computational analysis coming from the thermodynamic...
Computational modelling of thermal consumption of buildings with controlled interior temperature
New materials, structures and technologies used in civil engineering impeach traditional evaluations of the annual thermal consumption of buildings, based on the quasi-stationary estimate of the thermal resistance of the building envelope, or some operational parts of such building with the guaranteed temperature. The complete proper physical analysis, applying the principles of thermodynamics and appropriate constitutive relations for particular material layers and air in rooms, is not realistic...

Conservation schemes for convection-diffusion equations with Robin boundary conditions
In this article, we present a numerical scheme based on a finite element method in order to solve a time-dependent convection-diffusion equation problem and satisfy some conservation properties. In particular, our scheme is able to conserve the total energy for a heat equation or the total mass of a solute in a fluid for a concentration equation, even if the approximation of the velocity field is not completely divergence-free. We establish a priori errror estimates for this scheme and we give some...

Derivation of a homogenized two-temperature model from the heat equation
This work studies the heat equation in a two-phase material with spherical inclusions. Under some appropriate scaling on the size, volume fraction and heat capacity of the inclusions, we derive a coupled system of partial differential equations governing the evolution of the temperature of each phase at a macroscopic level of description. The coupling terms describing the exchange of heat between the phases are obtained by using homogenization techniques originating from [D. Cioranescu, F. Murat,...
Direct approach to mean-curvature flow with topological changes
This contribution deals with the numerical simulation of dislocation dynamics. Dislocations are described by means of the evolution of a family of closed or open smooth curves , . The curves are driven by the normal velocity which is the function of curvature and the position. The evolution law reads as: . The motion law is treated using direct approach numerically solved by two schemes, i. e., backward Euler semi-implicit and semi-discrete method of lines. Numerical stability is improved...
