Multiscale problems, such as modelling flows through porous media or predicting the mechanical properties of composite materials, are of great interest in many scientific areas. Analytical models describing these phenomena are rarely available, and one mus ...
For studying spectral properties of a nonnormal matrix A is an element of Cnxn, information about its spectrum sigma(A) alone is usually not enough. Effects of perturbations on sigma(A) can be studied by computing epsilon-pseudospectra, i.e. the level sets ...
A novel approach is introduced to determine the time evolution of optical forces and torques on arbitrary shape nanostructures by combining Maxwell's stress tensor with the surface integral equation method (SIE). Conventional time averaging of Maxwell’s st ...
This article presents for the first time an OpenACC (Open accelerators)-aided Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-based approach adopting a 3D moving window finite difference time domain (MW-FDTD) method for calculating lightning electromagnetic fields over lar ...
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 ...
Lightning electromagnetic fields can couple to overhead power transmission and distribution lines, causing serious effects to the power system. Lightning electromagnetic fields that couple to overhead lines have a nonuniform distribution along the line con ...
For studying spectral properties of a non-normal matrix A ∈ Cn×n, information about its spectrum σ(A) alone is usually not enough. Effects of perturbations on σ(A) can be studied by computing ε-pseudospectra, that is the level-sets of the resolvent norm fu ...
We present a design for an on-chip MEMS-actuated Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) based on Silicon Photonic MEMS technology. The VOA consists of 30 individual mechanically movable MEMS cantilevers, suspended over an integrated, 1 mu m wide bus waveguide, ...
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 ...
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 ...
