Interface control domain decomposition methods for heterogeneous problems

Alfio Quarteroni, Marco Discacciati

This paper is concerned with the solution of heterogeneous problems by the interface control domain decomposition (ICDD) method, a strategy introduced for the solution of partial differential equations in computational domains partitioned into subdomains t ...

The Interface Control Domain Decomposition (Icdd) Method For Elliptic Problems

Alfio Quarteroni, Marco Discacciati

Interface controls are unknown functions used as Dirichlet or Robin boundary data on the interfaces of an overlapping decomposition designed for solving second order elliptic boundary value problems. The controls are computed through an optimal control pro ...

Numerical simulation of orbitally shaken viscous fluids with free surface

Alfio Quarteroni, Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Marco Discacciati, Stéphanie Tissot, Samuel Quinodoz

Orbitally shaken bioreactors are an emerging alternative to stirred-tank bioreactors for large-scale mammalian cell culture, but their fluid dynamics is still not well defined. Among the theoretical and practical issues that remain to be resolved, the char ...

Numerical Approximation Of Internal Discontinuity Interface Problems

Alfio Quarteroni, Marco Discacciati, Samuel Quinodoz

This work focuses on the finite element discretization of boundary value problems whose solution features either a discontinuity or a discontinuous conormal derivative across an interface inside the computational domain. The interface is characterized via ...

Modeling dimensionally-heterogeneous problems: analysis, approximation and applications

Alfio Quarteroni, Marco Discacciati

In the present work a general theoretical framework for coupled dimensionally-heterogeneous partial differential equations is developed. This is done by recasting the variational formulation in terms of coupling interface variables. In such a general setti ...

Numerical analysis of the Navier-Stokes/Darcy coupling

Alfio Quarteroni, Marco Discacciati

We consider a differential system based on the coupling of the Navier-Stokes and Darcy equations for modeling the interaction between surface and porous media flows. We formulate the problem as an interface equation, we analyze the associated (nonlinear) S ...

Efficient oxygen transfer by surface aeration in shaken cylindrical containers for mammalian cell cultivation at volumetric scales up to 1,000 liters

Alfio Quarteroni, Florian Maria Wurm, Nicola Parolini, Marco Discacciati, David Hacker, Xiuwei Zhang, Mathieu Benjamin Stettler, Marco Perrone, Dario De Sanctis

Cylindrical containers agitated by orbital shaking are being developed as simple and cost-effective bioreactor systems for the cultivation of mammalian cells. Here the oxygen transfer capacities of containers with nominal volumes from 50 mL to 2000 L were ...

NavierStokes/Darcy coupling: modeling, analysis and numerical approximation

Alfio Quarteroni, Marco Discacciati

This paper is an overview of known and new results about the coupling of Navier-Stokes and Darcy equations to model the filtration of incompressible fluids through porous media. We discuss coupling conditions and we analyze the global coupled model in orde ...
