Book Finite Element Methods for Maxwell s Equations

Download or read book Finite Element Methods for Maxwell s Equations written by Peter Monk and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2003-04-17 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the middle of the last century, computing power has increased sufficiently that the direct numerical approximation of Maxwell's equations is now an increasingly important tool in science and engineering. Parallel to the increasing use of numerical methods in computational electromagnetism there has also been considerable progress in the mathematical understanding of the properties of Maxwell's equations relevant to numerical analysis. The aim of this book is to provide an up to date and sound theoretical foundation for finite element methods in computational electromagnetism. The emphasis is on finite element methods for scattering problems that involve the solution of Maxwell's equations on infinite domains. Suitable variational formulations are developed and justified mathematically. An error analysis of edge finite element methods that are particularly well suited to Maxwell's equations is the main focus of the book. The methods are justified for Lipschitz polyhedral domains that can cause strong singularities in the solution. The book finishes with a short introduction to inverse problems in electromagnetism.

The result is a state-of-the-art work in true reference style. Each chapter is self-contained and covers theoretical, algorithmic and software presentations as well as solved problems. A main feature consists of several carefully elaborated benchmarks of 2D- and 3D- applications. First book to go beyond the Finite Element Method in itself Covers material from a new research area Presents benchmarks of 2D- and 3D- applications Fits with the new trend for genetic strategies in engineering

Book Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Differential Equations

Download or read book Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Differential Equations written by Wolfgang Bangerth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-01-23 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key issues are a posteriori error estimation and it automatic mesh adaptation. Besides the traditional approach of energy-norm error control, a new duality-based technique, the Dual Weighted Residual method for goal-oriented error estimation, is discussed in detail. This method aims at economical computation of arbitrary quantities of physical interest by properly adapting the computational mesh. This is typically required in the design cycles of technical applications. For example, the drag coefficient of a body immersed in a viscous flow is computed, then it is minimized by varying certain control parameters, and finally the stability of the resulting flow is investigated by solving an eigenvalue problem. `Goal-oriented' adaptivity is designed to achieve these tasks with minimal cost. At the end of each chapter some exercises are posed in order to assist the interested reader in better understanding the concepts presented. Solutions and accompanying remarks are given in the Appendix.

Book Adaptive Finite Elements in the Discretization of Parabolic Problems

Download or read book Adaptive Finite Elements in the Discretization of Parabolic Problems written by Christian A. Möller and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2011 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptivity is a crucial tool in state-of-the-art scientific computing. However, its theoretical foundations are only understood partially and are subject of current research. This self-contained work provides theoretical basics on partial differential equations and finite element discretizations before focusing on adaptive finite element methods for time dependent problems. In this context, aspects of temporal adaptivity and error control are considered in particular. Based on the gained insights, a specific adaptive algorithm is designed and analyzed thoroughly. Most importantly, it is proven that the presented adaptive method terminates within any demanded error tolerance. Moreover, the developed algorithm is analyzed from a numerical point of view and its performance is compared to well-known standard methods. Finally, it is applied to the real-life problem of concrete carbonation, where two different discretizations are compared.

Book Computing with hp ADAPTIVE FINITE ELEMENTS

Download or read book Computing with hp ADAPTIVE FINITE ELEMENTS written by Leszek Demkowicz and published by Chapman and Hall/CRC. This book was released on 2007-11-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a focus on 1D and 2D problems, the first volume of Computing with hp-ADAPTIVE FINITE ELEMENTS prepared readers for the concepts and logic governing 3D code and implementation. Taking the next step in hp technology, Volume II Frontiers: Three-Dimensional Elliptic and Maxwell Problems with Applications presents the theoretical foundations of the 3D hp algorithm and provides numerical results using the 3Dhp code developed by the authors and their colleagues. The first part of the book focuses on fundamentals of the 3D theory of hp methods as well as issues that arise when the code is implemented. After a review of boundary-value problems, the book examines exact hp sequences, projection-based interpolation, and De Rham diagrams. It also presents the 3D version of the automatic hp-adaptivity package, a two-grid solver for highly anisotropic hp meshes and goal-oriented Krylov iterations, and a parallel implementation of the 3D code. The second part explores several recent projects in which the 3Dhp code was used and illustrates how these applications have greatly driven the development of 3D hp technology. It encompasses acoustic and electromagnetic (EM) scattering problems, an analysis of complex structures with thin-walled components, and challenging simulations of logging tools. The book concludes with a look at the future of hp methods. Spearheaded by a key developer of this technology with more than 20 years of research in the field, this self-contained, comprehensive resource will help readers overcome the difficulties in coding hp-adaptive elements.

Book Analysis of Finite Element Approximation and Iterative Methods for Time dependent Maxwell Problems

Download or read book Analysis of Finite Element Approximation and Iterative Methods for Time dependent Maxwell Problems written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation we are concerned with the analysis of the finite element method for the time-dependent Maxwell interface problem when Nedelec and Raviart-Thomas finite elements are employed and preconditioning of the resulting linear system when implicit time schemes are used. We first investigate the finite element method proposed by Makridakis and Monk in 1995. After studying the regularity of the solution to time dependent Maxwell's problem and providing approximation estimates for the Fortin operator, we are able to give the optimal error estimate for the semi-discrete scheme for Maxwell's equations. Then we study preconditioners for linear systems arising in the finite element method for time-dependent Maxwell's equations using implicit time-stepping. Such linear systems are usually very large but sparse and can only be solved iteratively. We consider overlapping Schwarz methods and multigrid methods and extend some existing theoretical convergence results. For overlapping Schwarz methods, we provide numerical experiments to confirm the theoretical analysis.

Book Hp Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Time Dependent Problems with Applications to Stress Waves in Solids

Download or read book Hp Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Time Dependent Problems with Applications to Stress Waves in Solids written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general goals of this project included the development of new, high-order, adaptive methods for the computer simulation of stress-wave propagation phenomena in solid mechanics, particularly elastodynamics. The motivation for using adaptive methodologies is to control and optimize the computational process, to use a posteriori error estimates to optimize meshes and spectral orders of approximation. Such orchestrated meshing can produce exponential rates of convergence, thereby allowing complex simulations to be done using orders-of-magnitude fewer unknowns than standard methods.

Book A Local Refinement Finite Element Method for Time Dependent Partial Differential Equations

Download or read book A Local Refinement Finite Element Method for Time Dependent Partial Differential Equations written by J. E. Flaherty and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors discuss an adaptive local refinement finite element method for solving initial-boundary value problems for vector systems of partial differential equations in one space dimension and time. The method ues piecewise bilinear rectangular space-time finite elements. For each time step, grids are automatically added to regions where the local discretization error is estimated as being larger than a prescribed tolerance. The authors discuss several aspects oof their algorithm, including the tree structure that is used to represent the finite element solution and grids, an error estimation technique, and initial boundary conditions at coarse-fine mesh interfaces. The authors also present computational results for a simple linear hyperbolic problem, a problem involving Burger's equation, and a model combustion problem. Originator-supplied keywords include: Adaptive methods, Finite element methods, Local refinement, and Time dependent problems.

Book A Moving Finite Element Method for Time Dependent Partial Differential Equations with Error Estimation and Refinement

Download or read book A Moving Finite Element Method for Time Dependent Partial Differential Equations with Error Estimation and Refinement written by S. Adjerid and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors discuss a moving finite element method for solving vector systems of time dependent partial differential equations in one space dimension. The mesh is moved so as to equidistribute the spatial component of the discretization error in H1. They present a method of estimating this error by using p-hierarchic finite elements. The error estimate is also used in an adaptive mesh refinement procedure to give an algorithm that combines mesh movement and refinement. The authors discretize the partial differential equations in space using a Galerkin procedure with piecewise linear elements to approximate the solution and quadratic elements to estimate the error. A system of ordinary differential equations for mesh velocities are used to control element motions. The authors use existing software for stiff ordinary differential equations for the temporal integration of the solution, the error estimate, and the mesh motion. Computational results using a code based on this method are presented for several examples.
