Substantial progress and development in additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have been realised during the last decade but have hardly been implemented on AM systems due to old numerical solutions still used by the AM digital thread, for instance STL ( ...
A drift-kinetic and a gyrokinetic model able to describe the plasma dynamics in the tokamak periphery are presented, which take into account electromagnetic fluctuations at all relevant scales, allowing for comparable amplitudes of background and fluctuati ...
In this thesis we consider inverse problems involving multiscale elliptic partial differential equations. The name multiscale indicates that these models are characterized by the presence of parameters which vary on different spatial scales (macroscopic, m ...
Code verification is an important part of software development process that asserts code correctness. In this work, analytical solutions are used in order to develop a simple multiphysics problem involving coupled fluid dynamics and neutron transport to be ...
A previously developed design methodology produces optimum adaptive structures that minimise the whole-life energy which is made of an embodied part in the material and an operational part for structural adaptation. Planar and complex spatial reticular str ...
A comprehensive understanding of physical phenomena based on a hybrid experimental-numerical approach supports a safer design of critical infrastructures. However, for large-scale tsunami-like waves, the reliability of numerical models was insufficiently v ...
We consider an adaptive isogeometric method (AIGM) based on (truncated) hierarchical B-splines and continue the study of its numerical properties. We prove that our AIGM is optimal in the sense that delivers optimal convergence rates as soon as the solutio ...
The Task 7 of the EBS task force is devoted to the modelling of gas transport phenomena in saturated bentonite. It was launched mid‐2016 with the following objectives: - To survey existing modelling tools for the simulation of gas migration in saturated be ...
Leading-edge cavitation is responsible of the generation of transient cavities, usually made of clouds of bubbles. These transient cavities travel downstream to high-pressure regions and collapse violently, leading to noise and vibration as well as erosion ...
Understanding the plasma dynamics in tokamaks is of fundamental importance to reliably predict the performances of future fusion devices. Because of the complex phenomena at play, state-of-the-art simulation codes are needed to investigate the plasma dynam ...
