Abstract
The computational accuracy of three versions of the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) is compared. The first version of MFS is based on the Laplace transformation of the governing differential equations and of the boundary conditions. The second version of MFS is based on the fundamental solution of the governing differential equation and discretization in time. The third method approximates the temperature time derivative by finite difference scheme. As the test problems the 2D boundary-initial-value problems (2D_BIVP) in square rectangular region Ω with known exact solutions are considered. Our numerical experiments show that all discussed methods achieve relatively accurate approximate solution but the third one offers less computational complexity and better efficiency.

Evolutionary identification of laminates? granular parameters. (Received in the final form November 12, 2010)
The paper deals with the identification of material constants in simple and hybrid laminates. It is assumed that identified constants are non-deterministic and can be described by means of different forms of the informat...
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...
Method of fundamental solutions and random numbers for the torsion of bars with multiply connected cross sections
The torsion of bars with multiply connected cross section by means of the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) is considered. Random numbers were used to determine the minimal errors for MFS. Five cases of cross section...
Probabilistic multiscale analysis of inelastic localized failure in solid mechanics
In this work, we discuss the role of probability in providing the most appropriate multiscale based uncertainty quantification for the inelastic nonlinear response of heterogeneous materials undergoing localized failure....
Validation problems in computational fluid mechanics
Recent developments in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) increased interest in quantifying quality of the numerical models. One of the necessary steps is the so-called code validation procedure, an assessment of a numer...
