  2. 6. On Computational Homogenization of Fluid-filled Porous Materials

    Author : Carl Sandström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; homogenization; Darcy flow; porous materials; multiscale modeling; Stokes flow;

    Abstract : Porous materials are present in many natural as well as engineered structures. Engineering examples include filters, sanitary products and foams while examples of natural occurrences are oil reservoirs and biological tissue. READ MORE

  4. 7. Computational Homogenization of Transient Problems - Application to Porous Media

    Author : Fang Su; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; consolidation; Representative Volume Element RVE ; homogenization; FE2;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to the development and analysis of a homogenization-basedcomputational strategy for simulating the transient and nonlinear coupled consolidationproblem in micro-heterogeneous porous media. A variational framework and the pertinentfinite element (FE) strategy, based on a generalized macro-homogeneity condition,are proposed for the spatial homogenization of a class of transient problems, wherebythe classical assumption of first order homogenization is adopted.

  5. 8. Control Rod Homogenization in Heterogeneous Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors

    Author : Mikael Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Homogenization; Monte Carlo; Fast Reactors; Reactivity Equivalence; Control rod;

    Abstract : The sodium-cooled fast reactor is one of the candidates for a sustainable nuclearreactor system. In particular, the French ASTRID project employs an axiallyheterogeneous design, proposed in the so-called CFV (low sodium effect) core, toenhance the inherent safety features of the reactor.

  6. 9. Effective properties of heterogeneous materials with applications in electromagnetics

    Author : Christian Engström; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; homogenization; optics; acoustics; Electromagnetism; structural parameters; anisotropic material; inverse homogenization; Bloch waves; Maxwell s equations; Elektromagnetism; optik; akustik; Inverse bounds;

    Abstract : Composite materials, i.e, mixtures of two or more materials, are commonly used in industry, because they often have outstanding properties in comparison with the original materials. In many cases the inhomogeneities are on a very fine scale, which makes it difficult to perform a full numerical simulation of the material. READ MORE
