Book Description
In this thesis, we consider the numerical solution of initial boundary value problems (IBVPs). Boundary and interface conditions are derived such that the IBVP under consideration is well-posed. We also study the dual problem and the related dual boundary/interface conditions. Once the continuous problem is analyzed, we use finite difference operators with the Summation- By-Parts property (SBP) and a weak boundary/interface treatment using the Simultaneous-Approximation-Terms (SAT) technique to construct high-order accurate numerical schemes. We focus in particular on stability, conservation and dual consistency. The energy method is used as our main analysis tool for both the continuous and numerical problems. The contributions of this thesis can be divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the coupling of different IBVPs. Interface conditions are derived such that the continuous problem satisfy an energy estimate and such that the discrete problem is stable. In the first paper, two hyperbolic systems of different size posed on two domains are considered. We derive the dual problem and dual interface conditions. It is also shown that a specific choice of penalty matrices leads to dual consistency. As an application, we study the coupling of the Euler and wave equations. In the fourth paper, we examine how to couple the compressible and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In order to obtain a sufficient number of interface conditions, the decoupled heat equation is added to the incompressible equations. The interface conditions include mass and momentum balance and two variants of heat transfer. The typical application in this case is the atmosphere-ocean coupling. The second part of the thesis focuses on the relation between the primal and dual problem and the relation between dual consistency and conservation. In the second and third paper, we show that dual consistency and conservation are equivalent concepts for linear hyperbolic conservation laws. We also show that these concepts are equivalent for symmetric or symmetrizable parabolic problems in the fifth contribution. The relation between the primal and dual boundary conditions for linear hyperbolic systems of equations is investigated in the sixth and last paper. It is shown that for given well-posed primal/dual boundary conditions, the corresponding well-posed dual/primal boundary conditions can be obtained by a simple scaling operation. It is also shown how one can proceed directly from the well-posed weak primal problem to the well-posed weak dual problem. Den här avhandlingen handlar om numeriska metoder för att lösa initial och randvärdes problem. Studien fokuserar på härledningen av rand/kopplingsvillkor som garanterar välställdhet. Det duala problemet och dess duala rand/kopplingsvillkor studeras också. Dessa problem diskretiseras genom att använda noggranna finita differensscheman på SBP-form (eng. summation-by-parts), kombinerat med en svag randbehandling benämnd SAT (eng. simultaneous approximation term). Vi fokuserar särskilt på stabilitet, konservation och dualkonsistens. Det främsta analysverktyget för både det kontinuerliga och diskreta problemet är energimetoden. Den första delen av avhandlingen behandlar välställdhet och stabilitet för koppling av olika system av ekvationer. Kopplingsvillkoren är härledda så att det kontinuerliga problemet uppfyller en energiuppskattning och så att det diskreta problemet är stabilt. I den första artikeln görs analysen för koppling av två olika hyperboliska system på första ordningens form. Som tillämpning kopplar vi Euler och vågekvationerna. Koppling mellan kompressibla och inkompressibla Navier-Stokes ekvationer studeras i den fjärde artikeln. För att få rätt antal kopplingsvillkor lägger vi till värmeledningsekvationen till de inkompressibla ekvationerna. Kopplingsvillkoren innefattar massans och rörelsemängdens bevarande samt två varianter av värmeöverföring. Den typiska tillämpningen är koppling mellan atmosfär och hav. Den andra delen av avhandlingen fokuserar på relationen mellan det primära och duala problemet och relationen mellan dualkonsistens och konservation. I den andra och tredje artikeln visar vi att dualkonsistens och konservation är ekvivalenta koncept för linjära hyperboliska konserveringslagar. I den femte artikeln, visas att dessa koncept är ekvivalenta även för paraboliska problem. Relationen mellan de primära och duala randvilkoren för linjära hyperboliska system av ekvationer i två dimensioner studeras i den sista artikeln. Vi visar att primära/duala välställda randvilkor ger duala/primära välställda randvilkor genom en enkel skalningsoperation. Det visas också att man kan gå direkt från det välställda svaga primära problemet till det välställda svaga duala problemet.

Book Description
This book describes the theoretical and computational aspects of the mimetic finite difference method for a wide class of multidimensional elliptic problems, which includes diffusion, advection-diffusion, Stokes, elasticity, magnetostatics and plate bending problems. The modern mimetic discretization technology developed in part by the Authors allows one to solve these equations on unstructured polygonal, polyhedral and generalized polyhedral meshes. The book provides a practical guide for those scientists and engineers that are interested in the computational properties of the mimetic finite difference method such as the accuracy, stability, robustness, and efficiency. Many examples are provided to help the reader to understand and implement this method. This monograph also provides the essential background material and describes basic mathematical tools required to develop further the mimetic discretization technology and to extend it to various applications.

Book Description
A class of finite element methods, the Discontinuous Galerkin Methods (DGM), has been under rapid development recently and has found its use very quickly in such diverse applications as aeroacoustics, semi-conductor device simula tion, turbomachinery, turbulent flows, materials processing, MHD and plasma simulations, and image processing. While there has been a lot of interest from mathematicians, physicists and engineers in DGM, only scattered information is available and there has been no prior effort in organizing and publishing the existing volume of knowledge on this subject. In May 24-26, 1999 we organized in Newport (Rhode Island, USA), the first international symposium on DGM with equal emphasis on the theory, numerical implementation, and applications. Eighteen invited speakers, lead ers in the field, and thirty-two contributors presented various aspects and addressed open issues on DGM. In this volume we include forty-nine papers presented in the Symposium as well as a survey paper written by the organiz ers. All papers were peer-reviewed. A summary of these papers is included in the survey paper, which also provides a historical perspective of the evolution of DGM and its relation to other numerical methods. We hope this volume will become a major reference in this topic. It is intended for students and researchers who work in theory and application of numerical solution of convection dominated partial differential equations. The papers were written with the assumption that the reader has some knowledge of classical finite elements and finite volume methods.

Book Description
Arising out of the growing interest in and applications of modern dynamical systems theory, this book explores how to derive relatively simple dynamical equations that model complex physical interactions. The author?s objectives are to use sound theory to explore algebraic techniques, develop interesting applications, and discover general modeling principles. Model Emergent Dynamics in Complex Systems unifies into one powerful and coherent approach the many varied extant methods for mathematical model reduction and approximation. Using mathematical models at various levels of resolution and complexity, the book establishes the relationships between such multiscale models and clarifying difficulties and apparent paradoxes and addresses model reduction for systems, resolves initial conditions, and illuminates control and uncertainty. The basis for the author?s methodology is the theory and the geometric picture of both coordinate transforms and invariant manifolds in dynamical systems; in particular, center and slow manifolds are heavily used. The wonderful aspect of this approach is the range of geometric interpretations of the modeling process that it produces?simple geometric pictures inspire sound methods of analysis and construction. Further, pictures drawn of state spaces also provide a route to better assess a model?s limitations and strengths. Geometry and algebra form a powerful partnership and coordinate transforms and manifolds provide a powerfully enhanced and unified view of a swathe of other complex system modeling methodologies such as averaging, homogenization, multiple scales, singular perturbations, two timing, and WKB theory.

Book Description
Computational resources have developed to the level that, for the first time, it is becoming possible to apply large-eddy simulation (LES) to turbulent flow problems of realistic complexity. Many examples can be found in technology and in a variety of natural flows. This puts issues related to assessing, assuring, and predicting the quality of LES into the spotlight. Several LES studies have been published in the past, demonstrating a high level of accuracy with which turbulent flow predictions can be attained, without having to resort to the excessive requirements on computational resources imposed by direct numerical simulations. However, the setup and use of turbulent flow simulations requires a profound knowledge of fluid mechanics, numerical techniques, and the application under consideration. The susceptibility of large-eddy simulations to errors in modelling, in numerics, and in the treatment of boundary conditions, can be quite large due to nonlinear accumulation of different contributions over time, leading to an intricate and unpredictable situation. A full understanding of the interacting error dynamics in large-eddy simulations is still lacking. To ensure the reliability of large-eddy simulations for a wide range of industrial users, the development of clear standards for the evaluation, prediction, and control of simulation errors in LES is summoned. The workshop on Quality and Reliability of Large-Eddy Simulations, held October 22-24, 2007 in Leuven, Belgium (QLES2007), provided one of the first platforms specifically addressing these aspects of LES.

Book Description
Fluid Mechanics, Second Edition deals with fluid mechanics, that is, the theory of the motion of liquids and gases. Topics covered range from ideal fluids and viscous fluids to turbulence, boundary layers, thermal conduction, and diffusion. Surface phenomena, sound, and shock waves are also discussed, along with gas flow, combustion, superfluids, and relativistic fluid dynamics. This book is comprised of 16 chapters and begins with an overview of the fundamental equations of fluid dynamics, including Euler's equation and Bernoulli's equation. The reader is then introduced to the equations of motion of a viscous fluid; energy dissipation in an incompressible fluid; damping of gravity waves; and the mechanism whereby turbulence occurs. The following chapters explore the laminar boundary layer; thermal conduction in fluids; dynamics of diffusion of a mixture of fluids; and the phenomena that occur near the surface separating two continuous media. The energy and momentum of sound waves; the direction of variation of quantities in a shock wave; one- and two-dimensional gas flow; and the intersection of surfaces of discontinuity are also also considered. This monograph will be of interest to theoretical physicists.

Book Description
Microfluidics is a young and rapidly expanding scientific discipline, which deals with fluids and solutions in miniaturized systems, the so-called lab-on-a-chip systems. It has applications in chemical engineering, pharmaceutics, biotechnology and medicine. As the lab-on-a-chip systems grow in complexity, a proper theoretical understanding becomes increasingly important. The basic idea of the book is to provide a self-contained formulation of the theoretical framework of microfluidics, and at the same time give physical motivation and examples from lab-on-a-chip technology. After three chapters introducing microfluidics, the governing equations for mass, momentum and energy, and some basic flow solutions, the following 14 chapters treat hydraulic resistance/compliance, diffusion/dispersion, time-dependent flow, capillarity, electro- and magneto-hydrodynamics, thermal transport, two-phase flow, complex flow patterns and acousto-fluidics, as well as the new fields of opto- and nano-fluidics. Throughout the book simple models with analytical solutions are presented to provide the student with a thorough physical understanding of order of magnitudes and various selected microfluidic phenomena and devices. The book grew out of a set of well-tested lecture notes. It is with its many pedagogical exercises designed as a textbook for an advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate course. It is also well suited for self-study.

Book Description
The Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment (Dune) is a set of open-source C++ libraries for the implementation of finite element and finite volume methods. Over the last 15 years it has become one of the most commonly used libraries for the implementation of new, efficient simulation methods in science and engineering. Describing the main Dune libraries in detail, this book covers access to core features like grids, shape functions, and linear algebra, but also higher-level topics like function space bases and assemblers. It includes extensive information on programmer interfaces, together with a wealth of completed examples that illustrate how these interfaces are used in practice. After having read the book, readers will be prepared to write their own advanced finite element simulators, tapping the power of Dune to do so.
