This book was released on 2010 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afin de répondre aux besoins de l'industrie pétrolière d'une description plus fine de la géométrie et des propriétés pétrophysiques des bassins et des réservoirs, la simulation numérique des écoulements en milieux poreux doit évoluer vers des algorithmes plus performants et plus robustes vis ˆ vis de la taille des simulations, de la complexité des maillages et des hétérogénéités du milieu poreux. Les méthodes de décomposition de domaine constituent une alternative aux méthodes multigrilles et pourraient permettre de lever les difficultés précédentes en terme de robustesse et d'efficacité sur architectures parallèles. Elles sont par nature plus adaptées au calcul parallèle et sont plus robustes en particulier lorsque les sous domaines sont résolus par des méthodes directes. Elles permettent aussi de traiter dans un cadre unique les couplages de modèles comme les puits ou les failles conductrices et s'étendent au cas des systèmes couplés. Le travail de thŃse traite plus particulièrement de méthodes définies au niveau algébrique. On ne suppose pas avoir une connaissance préalable du problème continu dont la matrice provient. On n'a pas non plus accès aux matrices avant assemblage. Ce manque d'informations a priori rend plus difficile la construction de méthodes efficaces. On propose deux nouvelles méthodes de construction de méthodes de décomposition de domaine au niveau algébrique: la construction de conditions d'interface optimisées et d'une grille grossière. Ce dernier point est particulièrement important pour avoir des méthodes robustes vis ˆ vis du nombre des sous-domaines. Les méthodes sont adaptatives et basées sur l'analyse de l'espace de Krylov généré durant les premières itérations de la méthode de Schwarz classique. A partir des vecteurs de Ritz correspondant aux plus basses valeurs propres, on construit des conditions d'interface et des grilles grossières qui annihilent l'erreur sur ces composantes. Les méthodes ont été testées sur des calculateurs parallèles pour des matrices issues de la simulation de milieux poreux.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les applications de simulation numérique nécessitant la résolution de problèmes d'Équations aux Dérivées Partielles (EDP) sont souvent parallélisées à l'aide d'une méthode de décomposition de domaine. Ces méthodes mathématiques sont naturellement ouvertes au parallélisme, cependant leur exploitation efficace sur les machines parallèles devient difficile lorsque les applications ont un comportement irrégulier. C'est le cas par exemple lorsque les problèmes mathématiques sont résolus dans des domaines géométriques complexes ou lorsque l'on utilise des techniques d'adaptation de maillage. Une technique de programmation se prêtant bien à la mise en oeuvre d'applications irrégulières est la multiprogrammation basée sur des réseaux de processus légers communicants. Dans cette thèse nous réalisons une étude approfondie de l'apport de ce paradigme de programmation à la résolution de problèmes d'EDP par des méthodes de décomposition de domaine et nous montrons qu'il existe une écriture algorithmique générique de celles-ci. Une de nos principales contributions réside dans la conception et réalisation d'un harnais informatique, appelé Ahpik, permettant une programmation aisée d'applications reposant sur les méthodes de décomposition de domaine. Ce harnais fournit un support générique adaptable à de nombreuses méthodes mathématiques, qu'elles soient synchrones ou asynchrones, avec ou sans recouvrement. Une conception orientée objet permet d'encapsuler les détails de gestion des processus légers et des communications, ce qui facilite l'implantation de nouvelles méthodes. Nous avons utilisé l'environnement Ahpik dans le cadre de la résolution de problèmes d'EDP classiques et notamment pour un problème en mécanique de fluides de grande taille.

Download or read book Parallel Computing written by Roman Trobec and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-18 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of parallel programming and architectures is essential for simulating and solving problems in modern computational practice. There has been rapid progress in microprocessor architecture, interconnection technology and software devel- ment, which are in?uencing directly the rapid growth of parallel and distributed computing. However, in order to make these bene?ts usable in practice, this dev- opment must be accompanied by progress in the design, analysis and application aspects of parallel algorithms. In particular, new approaches from parallel num- ics are important for solving complex computational problems on parallel and/or distributed systems. The contributions to this book are focused on topics most concerned in the trends of today’s parallel computing. These range from parallel algorithmics, progr- ming, tools, network computing to future parallel computing. Particular attention is paid to parallel numerics: linear algebra, differential equations, numerical integ- tion, number theory and their applications in computer simulations, which together form the kernel of the monograph. We expect that the book will be of interest to scientists working on parallel computing, doctoral students, teachers, engineers and mathematicians dealing with numerical applications and computer simulations of natural phenomena.

This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many important phenomena in fluid motion are evident in vortex flow, i.e., flows in which vortical structures are significant in determining the whole flow. This book, which consists of lectures given at a NATO ARW held in Grenoble (France) in June 1992, provides an up-to-date account of current research in the study of these phenomena by means of numerical methods and mathematical modelling. Such methods include Eulerian methods (finite difference, spectral and wavelet methods) as well as Lagrangian methods (contour dynamics, vortex methods) and are used to study such topics as 2- or 3-dimensional turbulence, vorticity generation by solid bodies, shear layers and vortex sheets, and vortex reconnection. For researchers and graduate students in computational fluid dynamics, numerical analysis, and applied mathematics.

Download or read book An Introduction to Domain Decomposition Methods written by Victorita Dolean and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to offer an overview of the most popular domain decomposition methods for partial differential equations (PDEs). These methods are widely used for numerical simulations in solid mechanics, electromagnetism, flow in porous media, etc., on parallel machines from tens to hundreds of thousands of cores. The appealing feature of domain decomposition methods is that, contrary to direct methods, they are naturally parallel. The authors focus on parallel linear solvers. The authors present all popular algorithms, both at the PDE level and at the discrete level in terms of matrices, along with systematic scripts for sequential implementation in a free open-source finite element package as well as some parallel scripts. Also included is a new coarse space construction (two-level method) that adapts to highly heterogeneous problems.?

Download or read book New Splitting Iterative Methods for Solving Multidimensional Neutron Transport Equations written by Jacques Tagoudjeu and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on iterative methods for the treatment of the steady state neutron transport equation in slab geometry, bounded convex domain of Rn (n = 2,3) and in 1-D spherical geometry. We introduce a generic Alternate Direction Implicit (ADI)-like iterative method based on positive definite and m-accretive splitting (PAS) for linear operator equations with operators admitting such splitting. This method converges unconditionally and its SOR acceleration yields convergence results similar to those obtained in presence of finite dimensional systems with matrices possessing the Young property A. The proposed methods are illustrated by a numerical example in which an integro-differential problem of transport theory is considered. In the particular case where the positive definite part of the linear equation operator is self-adjoint, an upper bound for the contraction factor of the iterative method, which depends solely on the spectrum of the self-adjoint part is derived. As such, this method has been successfully applied to the neutron transport equation in slab and 2-D cartesian geometry and in 1-D spherical geometry. The self-adjoint and m-accretive splitting leads to a fixed point problem where the operator is a 2 by 2 matrix of operators. An infinite dimensional adaptation of minimal residual and preconditioned minimal residual algorithms using Gauss-Seidel, symmetric Gauss-Seidel and polynomial preconditioning are then applied to solve the matrix operator equation. Theoretical analysis shows that the methods converge unconditionally and upper bounds of the rate of residual decreasing which depend solely on the spectrum of the self-adjoint part of the operator are derived. The convergence of theses solvers is illustrated numerically on a sample neutron transport problem in 2-D geometry. Various test cases, including pure scattering and optically thick domains are considered.

Download or read book Wavelets and Statistics written by Anestis Antoniadis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its short history, wavelet theory has found applications in a remarkable diversity of disciplines: mathematics, physics, numerical analysis, signal processing, probability theory and statistics. The abundance of intriguing and useful features enjoyed by wavelet and wavelet packed transforms has led to their application to a wide range of statistical and signal processing problems. On November 16-18, 1994, a conference on Wavelets and Statistics was held at Villard de Lans, France, organized by the Institute IMAG-LMC, Grenoble, France. The meeting was the 15th in the series of the Rencontres Pranco-Belges des 8tatisticiens and was attended by 74 mathematicians from 12 different countries. Following tradition, both theoretical statistical results and practical contributions of this active field of statistical research were presented. The editors and the local organizers hope that this volume reflects the broad spectrum of the conference. as it includes 21 articles contributed by specialists in various areas in this field. The material compiled is fairly wide in scope and ranges from the development of new tools for non parametric curve estimation to applied problems, such as detection of transients in signal processing and image segmentation. The articles are arranged in alphabetical order by author rather than subject matter. However, to help the reader, a subjective classification of the articles is provided at the end of the book. Several articles of this volume are directly or indirectly concerned with several as pects of wavelet-based function estimation and signal denoising.

Download or read book Expanding the Lexicon written by Sabine Arndt-Lappe and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creation of new lexical units and patterns has been studied in different research frameworks, focusing on either system-internal or system-external aspects, from which no comprehensive view has emerged. The volume aims to fill this gap by studying dynamic processes in the lexicon – understood in a wide sense as not being necessarily limited to the word level – by bringing together approaches directed to morphological productivity as well as approaches analyzing general types of lexical innovation and the role of discourse-related factors. The papers deal with ongoing changes as well as with historical processes of change in different languages and reflect on patterns and specific subtypes of lexical innovation as well as on their external conditions and the speakers’ motivations for innovating. Moreover, the diffusion and conventionalization of innovations will be addressed. In this way, the volume contributes to understanding the complex interplay of structural, cognitive and functional factors in the lexicon as a highly dynamic domain.
