    Efficient p-Multigrid Based Solvers for Isogeometric Analysis on Multipatch Geometries

    No full text
    Isogeometric Analysis can be considered as the natural extension of the Finite Element Method (FEM) to higher-order spline based discretizations simplifying the treatment of complex geometries with curved boundaries. Finding a solution of the resulting linear systems of equations efficiently remains, however, a challenging task. Recently, p-multigrid methods have been considered [18], in which a multigrid hierarchy is constructed based on different approximation orders p instead of mesh widths h as it would be the case in classical h-multigrid schemes [8]. The use of an Incomplete LU-factorization as a smoother within the p-multigrid method has shown to lead to convergence rates independent of both h and p for single patch geometries [19]. In this paper, the focus lies on the application of the aforementioned p-multigrid method on multipatch geometries having a C0-continuous coupling between the patches. The use of ILUT as a smoother within p-multigrid methods leads to convergence rates that are essentially independent of h and p, but depend mildly on the number of patches.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Numerical Analysi

    Hydraulic performance, wave loading and response of Elastocoast revetments and their foundation - a large scale model study -

    No full text
    ELASTOCOAST revetments are highly porous structures made of crushed stones which are durably and elastically bonded by Polyurethane (PU). To improve the understanding of the physical processes involved in the wave-structure-foundation interaction and to develop prediction formulae for both hydraulic performance and wave loading more than 75 large-scale model tests using both regular and irregular waves were performed. Three ELASTOCOAST revetment alternatives with the same slope (1:3) and the same revetment thickness (0.20 m) but with different thicknesses of the underlying filter layer (0.00 m, 0.10 m and 0.20 m for Model Alternatives A, B and C, respectively) were tested. More than 85 measuring devices synchronously connected to two video cameras were used. Prediction formulae are developed for wave reflection, wave run-up and run-down as a function of the surf similarity parameter which illustrate the advantage of ELASTOCOAST revetments as compared to conventional revetments. For instance, more than 25% less wave runup may result on comparison to smooth impermeable revetments. Using a surf similarity-based wave load classification as well as a systematic parametrization in both time and space, prediction formulae are also developed for both impact loads on and just beneath the revetment. These include the peak pressure pmax, its location in relation to still water level zpmax, the spatial pressure distribution and the time related parameters (rise time and total load duration). Prediction formulae for the wave-induced pore pressure in the sand core beneath the revetment are also provided, including the maximum pressure at the upper boundary of the sand layer and its development in deeper layers. Formulae are also proposed for the flexural displacement ä of the ELASTOCOAST revetment, showing that for impact load much smaller displacements would result than for non-impact load and that ä linearly increases with peak pressure pmax for a given revetment thickness. Finally, a stability analysis of Model Alternative A is performed on basis of the results of the measurements and the simultaneously recorded videos. The results illustrate why Model Alternative failed due to local transient soil liquefaction while Model Alternative B tested synchronously under the same wave conditions did not fail.LWI098

    A MEMS Coriolis-Based Mass-Flow-to-Digital Converter with 100g/h/surdHz Noise i Floor and Zero Stability of pm 0.35mg/h

    Flow sensors with high resolution (<200g/h/surdHz) and low offset drift (<pm 0.4mg/h) are essential in many microfluidic applications, such as flow cytometry and biological/chemical assays. Although thermal flow sensors can meet these specifications [1], [2], they measure flow velocity, so their calibration is fluid specific. Coriolis flow sensors [3]-[5] are a promising alternative because they measure mass flow and density regardless of fluid type, thus offering more flexibility. However, this has typically been at the expense of lower resolution, offset drift, and large footprint. This paper presents a mass-flow-to-digital converter (phi DC) based on a MEMS Coriolis mass flow sensor and a dedicated readout IC (ROIC). Compared to the state-of-the-art [5], it is more compact and has a digital output. Furthermore, it achieves a 3x improvement in resolution (100 g/h/ surd Hz) and a more than 2 ×improvement in zero stability (pm 0.35mg/h.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic InstrumentationMicroelectronic
