Proton traps for multi-nuclear RF coils: design analysis and practical implementation for 13C MRS in humans at 7T

Rolf Gruetter

Trapped coil designs allow the operation of lower-frequency coils in the presence of a proton coil. Adding a second capacitor to a trap in the non-proton RF coil allows control over the trap reactance at the low and high frequency (here 13C and 1H) and the ...

A numerical method for the optimal control of switched systems

Maryam Kamgarpour

Switched dynamical systems have shown great utility in modeling a variety of systems. Unfortunately, the determination of a numerical solution for the optimal control of such systems has proven difficult, since it demands optimal mode scheduling. Recently, ...

Persistent junk solutions in time-domain modeling of extreme mass ratio binaries

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

In the context of metric perturbation theory for nonspinning black holes, extreme mass ratio binary systems are described by distributionally forced master wave equations. Numerical solution of a master wave equation as an initial boundary value problem re ...

Some Mathematical and Numerical Aspects in Aluminum Production

Jacques Rappaz, Marco Picasso, Gilles Steiner, Christophe Laurent

In this paper, we present a mathematical modeling of some magnetohydrodynamic effects arising in an aluminum production cell as well as its numerical approximation by a finite element method. We put the emphasis on the magnetic effects which live in the wh ...

An exact solution for ideal dam-break floods on steep slopes

Christophe Ancey, Martin Rentschler

Dam-break floods on steep slopes occur in diverse settings. They may result from failure of either natural or man-made dams, and they have been responsible for the loss of thousands of lives [Costa, 1988]. Recent disasters resulting from dam-break floods o ...

Spectral Elements Analysis for Viscoelastic Fluids at High Weissenberg Number Using Logarithmic conformation Tensor Model

Michel Deville, Nicolas Fietier, Azadeh Jafari

This study discusses the capability of the constitutive laws for the matrix logarithm of the conformation tensor (LCT model) within the framework of the spectral elements method. The high Weissenberg number problems (HWNP) usually produce a lack of converg ...

Reactive transport in unsaturated Soil: Comprehensive modelling of the dynamic spatial and temporal mass balance of water and chemical components

David Andrew Barry, Laurin Wissmeier

By implementing the moisture-based form of Richards' equation into the geochemical modelling framework PHREEQC, a generic tool for the simulation of one-dimensional flow and solute transport in the vadose zone undergoing complex geochemical reactions was d ...

Modélisation mathématique et simulation numérique des phénomènes dynamiques et thermiques apparaissant dans un glacier

Pierre Kirner

In this work, two problems linked to glacier modeling are investigated. We propose an optimisation method for studying the flow of the ice and we present a numerical study about glacier thermal phenomena. In the first chapter of this thesis, we expose the ...

Idempotent filtering in spectral and spectral element methods

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

The comparison of numerical results for implicit-explicit and fully explicit Runge-Kutta time integration methods for a nozzle flow problem shows that filtering can significantly degrade the accuracy of the numerical solution for long-time integration prob ...

Finite element approximation of multi-scale elliptic problems using patches of elements

Jacques Rappaz

In this paper we present a method for the numerical solution of elliptic problems with multi-scale data using multiple levels of not necessarily nested grids. The method consists in calculating successive corrections to the solution in patches whose discre ...
