Finite elements methods (FEMs) with numerical integration play a central role in numerical homogenization methods for partial differential equations with multiple scales, as the effective data in a homogenization problem can only be recovered from a micros ...
We investigate in detail the problem of confined pressure-driven laminar flow of neutrally buoyant non-Brownian suspensions using a frictional rheology based on the recent proposal of Boyer et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 107 (18), 2011, 188301). The fricti ...
The research work reported in this dissertation is aimed to develop efficient and stable numerical schemes in order to obtain accurate numerical solution for viscoelastic fluid flows within the spectral element context. The present research consists in the ...
A fully discrete analysis of the finite element heterogeneous multiscale method (FE-HMM) for elliptic problems with N+1 well-separated scales is discussed. The FE-HMM is a numerical homogenization method that relies on a macroscopic scheme (macro FEM) for ...
This paper proposes an approach for high-order time integration within a multi-domain setting for time- fractional differential equations. Since the kernel is singular or nearly singular, two main difficulties arise after the domain decomposition: how to p ...
A direct integration algorithm for the evaluation of Sommerfeld integrals is presented. This algorithm does not require the deformation of the integration path to avoid spectral singularities. The integration is performed along the real axis only. The algo ...
We consider a finite element method (FEM) with arbitrary polynomial degree for nonlinear monotone elliptic problems. Using a linear elliptic projection, we first give a new short proof of the optimal convergence rate of the FEM in the L2 norm. We then deri ...
This work concerns a dedicated mixed-signal power system dynamic simulator. The equations that describe the behavior of a power system can be decoupled in a large linear system that is handled by the analog part of the hardware, and a set of differential e ...
Increasing demand for clean sources of energy have forced electricity providers to paymore attention to their hydropower assets. Silt erosion is a destructive phenomenon that may occur in hydropower plants. The power plant subjected to silt erosion require ...
This paper reports the result of the cooperation between KUL and EPFL on the numerical integration of Sommerfeld integrals (SI). Each institution is well-known for developing specific techniques suited for the evaluation of SI: double-exponential quadratur ...
