1. Computational Ice Sheet Dynamics : Error control and efficiency
Abstract : Ice sheets, such as the Greenland Ice Sheet or Antarctic Ice Sheet, have a fundamental impact on landscape formation, the global climate system, and on sea level rise. The slow, creeping flow of ice can be represented by a non-linear version of the Stokes equations, which treat ice as a non-Newtonian, viscous fluid. READ MORE

2. Automated Computational Modeling
Abstract : This thesis is part of the FEniCS project of Automation of Computational Mathematical Modeling (ACMM) as the modern manifestation of the basic principle of science:formulating mathematical equations (modeling) and solving equations (computation). The vision of FEniCS is to set a new standard towards the goals of generality, efficiency, and simplicity, concerning mathematical methodology, implementation, and application. READ MORE

5. Hybrid Methods for Unsteady Fluid Flow Problems in Complex Geometries
Abstract : In this thesis, stable and efficient hybrid methods which combine high order finite difference methods and unstructured finite volume methods for time-dependent initial boundary value problems have been developed. The hybrid methods make it possible to combine the efficiency of the finite difference method and the flexibility of the finite volume method. READ MORE
