In this project we numerically simulate electrophysiological models for cardiac applications by means of Isogeometric Analysis. Specifically, we aim at understanding the advantages of using high order continuous NURBS (Non-UniformRational B-Splines) basis ...
n this article, we share our vision for a future nanofactory, where plasmonic trapping is used to control the different manufacturing steps associated with the transformation of initial nanostructures to produce complex compounds. All the different functio ...
Nonlinear modeling of coaxial microhelicopters is studied. All equations are derived using a Lagrangian approach and simplified aerodynamics assumptions so that all parameters have a physical meaning; there is no “black box.” The model is constructed with ...
We prove that when a class of partial differential equations, generalized from the cable equation, is defined on tree graphs and the inputs are restricted to a spatially discrete, well chosen set of points, the Green's function (GF) formalism can be rewrit ...
The influence of a reflecting surface on the optical bistability in a nanoantenna array is investigated theoretically. The optical response of the array is modeled using a surface integral equation method developed for periodic structures, and the descript ...
In this paper we study a nonlinear elliptic boundary value problem with a general singular lower order term, whose model is {-Delta u = H(u)mu, in Omega, u = 0 on partial derivative Omega, u > 0 on Omega, where Omega is an open bounded subset of R-N, mu is ...
A general framework to combine numerical homogenization and reduced-order modelling techniques for partial differential equations (PDEs) with multiple scales is described. Numerical homogenization methods are usually efficient to approximate the effective ...
In the following work we apply the boundary element method to two-phase flows in shallow microchannels, where one phase is dispersed and does not wet the channel walls. These kinds of flows are often encountered in microfluidic Lab-On-A-Chip devices and ch ...
We report on a new topological vortex solution in U(1) x U(1) Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. The existence of the vortex is envisaged by analytical means, and a numerical solution is obtained by integrating the equations of motion. These vortices have a long ...
We propose a strategy for the systematic construction of the mimetic inner products on cochain spaces for the numerical approximation of partial differential equations on unstructured polygonal and polyhedral meshes. The mimetic inner products are locally ...
