Mesh-free methods and time integrations for transient heat conduction
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2011, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper deals with transient heat conduction in functionally gradient materials. The spatial variation of the temperature field is approximated by using alternatively two various mesh free approximations, while the time dependence is treated either by the Laplace transform method and/or by the polynomial interpolation in the time stepping method. The accuracy and convergence of the numerical results as well as the computational efficiency of various approaches are compared in numerical test example.

A mixed, scalable domain decomposition method for incompressible flow
This work deals with the construction of a mixed and extensible domain decomposition method for incompressible flows. In the scheme proposed here, the solution is sought at the intersection of two spaces, one containing...
Sensitivity analysis of transient bioheat transfer with perfusion rate dependent on tissue injury. (Received in the final form January 18, 2010)
The sensitivity analysis of transient temperature field in the tissue domain with respect to its thermophysical parameters is discussed. In particular, the influence of tissue specific heat, thermal conductivity, perfusi...
Finite element formulations for 3D convex polyhedra in nonlinear continuum mechanics
In this paper, we present finite element formulations for general three-dimensional convex polyhedra for use in a common finite element framework that are well suited, e.g., for modeling complex granular materials and fo...
Variational Bayesian inversion for microwave breast imaging
Microwave imaging is considered as a nonlinear inverse scattering problem and tackled in a Bayesian estimation framework. The object under test (a breast affected by a tumor) is assumed to be composed of compact regions...
Mathematical and numerical multi-scale modelling of multiphysics problems
In this paper we discuss two multi-scale procedures, both of mathematical nature as opposed to purely numerical ones. Examples are shown for the two cases. Attention is also devoted to thermodynamical aspects such as the...
