  2. 11. Numerical Methods for Aerodynamic Shape Optimization

    Author : Olivier Amoignon; Martin Berggren; Per Lötstedt; Olivier Pironneau; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computational Fluid Dynamics; shape optimization; adjoint equations; edge-based finite-volume method; moving mesh adaptation; radial basis functions; inviscid compressible flow; transition control; Numerical Analysis; Numerisk analys;

    Abstract : Gradient-based aerodynamic shape optimization, based on Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis of the flow, is a method that can automatically improve designs of aircraft components. The prospect is to reduce a cost function that reflects aerodynamic performances. READ MORE

  4. 12. Efficient Solvers for Space-Time Discontinuous Galerkin Spectral Element Methods

    Author : Lea Miko Versbach; Numerisk analys; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Discontinuous Galerkin Method; Spectral Element Method; Finite Volume Method; Implicit Schemes; Preconditioner; Multigrid Method; Space-Time; Lobatto IIIC Method; Local Fourier Analysis;

    Abstract : In this thesis we study efficient solvers for space-time discontinuous Galerkin spectral element methods (DG-SEM). These discretizations result in fully implicit schemes of variable order in both spatial and temporal directions. READ MORE

  5. 13. Reliable hp finite element computations of scattering resonances in nano optics

    Author : Juan Carlos Araujo-Cabarcas; Christian Engström; David Cohen; Mats G. Larson; Jeffrey Ovall; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Scattering resonances; Helmholtz problems; pseudospectrum; Lippmann-Schwinger equation; finite element methods; nonlinear eigenvalue problems; spurious solutions;

    Abstract : Eigenfrequencies are commonly studied in wave propagation problems, as they are important in the analysis of closed cavities such as a microwave oven. For open systems, energy leaks into infinity and therefore scattering resonances are used instead of eigenfrequencies. READ MORE

  6. 14. Stable Numerical Methods with Boundary and Interface Treatment for Applications in Aerodynamics

    Author : Sofia Eriksson; Jan Nordström; Gunilla Kreiss; Thomas Hagstrom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; summation by parts; simultaneous approximation term; accuracy; stability; finite difference methods; Beräkningsvetenskap med inriktning mot numerisk analys; Scientific Computing with specialization in Numerical Analysis;

    Abstract : In numerical simulations, problems stemming from aerodynamics pose many challenges for the method used. Some of these are addressed in this thesis, such as the fluid interacting with objects, the presence of shocks, and various types of boundary conditions. READ MORE

  7. 15. Alternatives for Finite Element Analysis of Blade Forging

    Author : Behzad Soltani; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; residual stresses; blade forging; flow approach; metal forming; quasistatic implicit; dynamic explicit; forging; solid approach; finite element method; closed die forging;

    Abstract : This thesis is a theoretical and numerical study of the weaknesses and capabilities of alternative finite element procedures for simulation of the blade forging problem and also an analysis of the practical aspects of that process. An overview is presented of the finite element method for non-linear problems with elastoplastic constitutive relations, focusing on quasistatic implicit and dynamic explicit approaches. READ MORE
