This thesis presents a methodology for the design optimization of hydraulic runner blades. The originality of the methodology comes from the geometric definition of the blade shapes, which uses parametric surfaces instead of a set of profiles. The main adv ...
In this paper we consider (hierarchical, Lagrange) reduced basis approximation and a posteriori error estimation for potential flows in affinely parametrized geometries. We review the essential ingredients: i) a Galerkin projection onto a low dimensional s ...
We focus on a specific class of curves that can be parametrized using a finite number of variables in two dimensions. The corresponding indicator plane, which is a binary image, has infinite bandwidth and can not be sampled and perfectly reconstructed with ...
The purpose of this work is to analyse and study an efficient parametrization technique for a 3D shape optimization problem. After a brief review of the techniques and approaches already available in literature, we choose to use the Free Form Deformation p ...
Shape Optimization problems governed by partial differential equations result from many applications in computational fluid dynamics; they involve the repetitive evaluation of outputs expressed as functionals of the field variables and usually imply big co ...
In this paper we deal with reduced basis techniques applied to Stokes equations. We consider domains with different shape, parametrized by affine and non-affine maps with respect to a reference domain. The proposed method is ideally suited for the repeated ...
he reduced basis (RB) methods are proposed here for the solution of parametrized equations in linear elasticity problems. The fundamental idea underlying RB methods is to decouple the generation and projection stages (offline/online computational procedure ...
We apply the reduced basis method to solve Navier-Stokes equations in parametrized domains. Special attention is devoted to the treatment of the parametrized nonlinear transport term in the reduced basis framework, including the case of nonaffine parametri ...
We study the possibility of achieving metastable de Sitter vacua in general N=2 to N=1 truncated supergravities without vector multiplets, and compare with the situations arising in N=2 theories with only hypermultiplets and N=1 theories with only chiral m ...
Via compression ([18,8]) we write the n-dimensional Chaplygin sphere system as an almost Hamiltonian system on T*SO (n) with internal symmetry group SO (n-1). We show how this symmetry group can be factored out, and pass to the fully reduced system on (a f ...
