  2. 6. High-Performance Finite Element Methods : with Application to Simulation of Diffusion MRI and Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

    Author : Van-Dang Nguyen; Johan Hoffman; Johan Jansson; Axel Målqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; High performance finite element method; computational diffusion MRI; turbulent flow; vertical axis wind turbine.; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : The finite element methods (FEM) have been developed over decades, and together with the growth of computer engineering, they become more and more important in solving large-scale problems in science and industry. The objective of this thesis is to develop high-performance finite element methods (HP-FEM), with two main applications in mind: computational diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and simulation of the turbulent flow past a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT).

  4. 7. Finite Element Methods for Interface Problems

    Author : David Samvin; Peter Hansbo; Kent Salomonsson; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite Element Method; Interface; Embedded; CutFEM; Finita elementmetoden; Sprickor; CutFEM;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on computationally efficient methods for flow in fractured porous media. Two approaches are presented where the interface is embedded on the underlying finite element mesh. The methods allow for representation of the interface geometry from the underlying discretization and with discontinuities across the interface. READ MORE

  6. 9. Waveguide Finite Elements Applied on a Car Tyre

    Author : Carl-Magnus Nilsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave equation; wave solution; waveguide; finite element; spectral finite element; tyre noise; tyre vibration; input power; shells; pre stress; fluid shell coupling; axi--symmetric;

    Abstract : Structures acting as waveguides are quite common withexamples being, construction beams, fluid filled pipes, railsand extruded aluminium profiles. Curved structures like cartyres and pipe-bends may also be considered as waveguides. Wavesolutions in such structures may be found by a method calledthe Waveguide Finite Element Method or WFEM.

  7. 10. Class of Accurate Low Order Finite Elements

    Author : Magnus Fredriksson; Hållfasthetslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; quadrilateral ; variational ; finite element ; element technology ; HuWashizu ; hexahedral ; Technological sciences; Teknik;

    Abstract : High accuracy and low computational costs are essential properties for efficient finite element codes. Improvements of the finite element method in order to satisfy these qualities have been the subject for extensive research activities ever since its introduction. READ MORE
