In this work we focus on the modeling and numerical simulation of the fluid-structure interaction mechanism in vascular dynamics. We first propose a simple membrane model to describe the deformation of the arterial wall, which is derived from the Koiter sh ...
We investigate stabilized Galerkin approximations of linear and nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equations. We derive nonlinear streamline and cross-wind diffusion methods that guarantee a discrete maximum principle for strictly acute meshes and fir ...
The temporal stability and effective order of two different direct high-order Stokes solvers are examined. Both solvers start from the primitive variables formulation of the Stokes problem, but are distinct by the numerical uncoupling they apply on the Sto ...
We consider a heterogeneous model for the dynamics of a blood solute both in the vascular lumen and inside the arterial wall. In the lumen, we consider an advection-diffusion equation, where the convective field is provided by the velocity of blood, which ...
Ab initio mol. dynamics (AIMD) and combined Hybrid/AIMD simulations appear as promising candidates for an in situ modeling of enzymic reactions. In order to probe the capabilities of these methods for the characterization of enzymic processes we have chose ...
This thesis describes measurements of Brownian motion of a colloidal particle using optical trapping. Two aspects are investigated: (i) influence of inertial effects on Brownian motion, and (ii) effect of the optical trap on Brownian motion. The first part ...
The research work reported in the present dissertation is aimed at the analysis of complex physical phenomena involving instabilities and nonlinearities occurring in fluids through state-of-the-art numerical modeling. Solutions of intricate fluid physics p ...
The temporal stability and effective order of two different direct high-order Stokes solvers are examined. Both solvers start from the primitive variables formulation of the Stokes problem, but are distinct by the numerical uncoupling they apply on the Sto ...
The numerical modeling of solutes absorption processes by the arterial wall is of paramount interest for the understanding of the relationships between the local features of blood flow, the nourishing of the inner arterial wall by the blood solutes, and th ...
A numerical method for the simulation of the motion of a glacier in two and three dimensions is presented. Glacier ice is treated as an incompressible viscous fluid. The model equations are based on mass, momentum, energy conservation and a specific rheolo ...
