Seminar from Guglielmo Scovazzi: The Shifted Boundary / Shifted Fracture Method for Computational Mechanics

Embedded/immersed/unfitted boundary methods obviate the need for continual re-meshing in many applications involving rapid prototyping and design. Unfortunately, many finite element embedded boundary methods (cutFEM, Finite Cell Method, etc. ) are also difficult to implement due to: (a) the need to perform complex cell cutting operations at boundaries, (b) the…

Platon Seminar – Maria Han Veiga

Maria Han Veiga, Assistant Professor in Mathematics at University of Michigan. Title: High fidelity numerical codes: structure-preserving schemes with data-driven models. Many engineering and scientific problems can be described by equations of fluid dynamics, namely, systems of time dependent nonlinear hyperbolic PDEs. The mathematical description of these processes as well…
