Waves at a fluid-solid interface: Explicit versus implicit formulation of boundary conditions using a discontinuous Galerkin method

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Khemraj Shukla

An accurate solution of the wave equation at a fluid-solid interface requires a correct implementation of the boundary condition. Boundary conditions at acousto-elastic interface require continuity of the normal component of particle velocity and traction, ...

Isogeometric Analysis of the electrophysiology in the human heart: Numerical simulation of the bidomain equations on the atria

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Pegolotti

We consider Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) for the numerical solution of the electrophysiology of the atria, which in this work is modeled by means of the bidomain equations on thin surfaces. First, we consider the bidomain equations coupled with the Roger-Mc ...

In a recent paper [Ray and Hesthaven, J. Comput. Phys. 367 (2018), pp 166-191], we proposed a new type of troubled-cell indicator to detect discontinuities in the numerical solutions of one-dimensional conservation laws. This was achieved by suitably train ...

Golgi apparatus (GA) is a center for lipid metabolism and the final target of ceramide pathway, which may result in apoptosis. In this work localization of highly hydrophobic hypericin is followed by time-resolved imaging of NBDC6 (fluorescent ceramide) in ...

Discontinuous Galerkin methods have desirable properties, which make them suitable for the com- putation of wave problems. Being parallelizable and hp-adaptive makes them attractive for the simulation of large-scale tsunami propagation. In order to retriev ...

In this thesis, we consider the numerical approximation of high order geometric Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). We first consider high order PDEs defined on surfaces in the 3D space that are represented by single-patch tensor product NURBS. Then, we ...

Validation of a FEA model of structural response of RC-cantilever beams strengthened with a (R-) UHPFRC layer

Eugen Brühwiler, Emmanuel Denarié, Hamid Sadouki

This paper focuses on modelling of structural response of RC cantilever beams retrofitted with a thin layer of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced cement-based Composite (UHPFRC). The complex cracking phenomenon of the resulting RC-UHPFRC composite sys ...

A quasi-static progressive damage model for prediction of the fracture behaviour and strength of adhesively bonded fibre-reinforced polymer joints is introduced in this paper. The model is based on the development of a mixed-mode failure criterion as a fun ...

We explore the effect of precisely defined geometric imperfections on the buckling load of spherical shells under external pressure loading, using finite-element analysis that was previously validated through precision experiments. Our numerical simulation ...

Accurate, Stable and Efficient Modal Calculations of Photoelectrically Useful Absorption in Lamellar Metallic and Semiconductor Diffraction Gratings

David Isaak Gablinger

Solar energy has seen tremendous advances in the past years. For thin film photovoltaics, which use less of the expensive semiconductor materials, insufficient light absorption can be a limiting factor. It is hoped that by using diffractive optics to impro ...
