    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical physics; general relativity; plasma; gravitational waves; electromagnetic waves; nonlinear; wave interaction; wave propagation; Teoretisk fysik; Physics; Fysik; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : Gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves are important as carriers of energy and information. This thesis is devoted to the study of the propagation and interaction of these waves in plasmas, with emphasis on nonlinear effects and applications within astrophysics. READ MORE

  5. 13. Summation-by-Parts Finite Difference Methods for Wave Propagation and Earthquake Modeling

    Author : Vidar Stiernström; Ken Mattsson; Mark H. Carpenter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Finite difference method; high-order accuracy; stability; summation-by-parts; wave propagation; earthquake modeling; inverse problems; Beräkningsvetenskap med inriktning mot numerisk analys; Scientific Computing with specialization in Numerical Analysis;

    Abstract : Waves manifest in many areas of physics, ranging from large-scale seismic waves in geophysics down to particle descriptions in quantum physics. Wave propagation may often be described mathematically by partial differential equations (PDE). Unfortunately, analytical solutions to PDEs are in many cases notoriously difficult to obtain.

  6. 14. Finite Difference Methods for Time-Dependent Wave Propagation Problems

    Author : Ylva Ljungberg Rydin; Ken Mattsson; Erik Sjöqvist; Magnus Svärd; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Finite differences; Wave propagation problems; Summation-by-parts; Simultaneous approximation term; High-order accuracy; Deforming domains; Point sources; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Wave propagation models are essential in many fields of physics, such as acoustics, electromagnetics, and quantum mechanics. Mathematically, waves can be described by partial differential equations (PDEs).  In most cases, exact solutions to wave-dominated PDEs are nearly impossible to derive. READ MORE

  7. 15. Material distribution-based topology optimization for wave propagation problems

    Author : Ahmad Hasnain Bokhari; Eddie Wadbro; Martin Berggren; Roland Herzog; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; topology optimization; material distribution; wave propagation problems; Helmholtz equation; acoustics; electromagnetics; plasmonics;

    Abstract : This thesis employs material distribution-based topology optimization for wave propagation problems. In the material distribution approach, we define a material indicator function that models the presence and absence of material in a design domain. READ MORE
