abstract = {This thesis deals with mathematical modeling, analysis, and numerical realization of microaggregates in soils.

Among others, the following aspects of the formation of microaggregates should be incorporated into a mathematical model and investigated in more detail: the spatial heterogeneity of the temporally evolving structure of microaggregates and the different processes that take place on different scales — temporal and spatial — within the so-called micro-scale itself. This work aims at formulating a process-based pore-scale model, where all chemical species are measured in concentrations. That is, we have a continuous model for reactive transport mainly in terms of partial differential equations (PDEs) with algebraic constraints.

Moreover, effects and knowledge deduced from the model are transferred to scales which are more relevant for applications. The quality of these averaged models is of general interest, since simulations for the field-scale that resolve the pore-scale are not applicable for economical reasons.

Uniform convergence of the geometric multigrid V-cycle is proven for hybridized discontinuous Galerkin methods with a new set of assumptions on the injection operators from coarser to finer meshes. The scheme involves standard smoothers and local solvers which are bounded, convergent, and consistent. A weak version of elliptic regularity is used in the proofs. The new assumptions admit injection operators local to each coarse grid cell. Examples for admissible injection operators are given. The analysis applies to the hybridized local discontinuous Galerkin method, hybridized Raviart--Thomas, and hybridized Brezzi--Douglas--Marini mixed element methods. Numerical experiments are provided to confirm the theoretical results.

abstract = {Many mathematical models of computational fluid dynamics involve transport of conserved quantities, which must lie in a certain range to be physically meaningful. The analytical or numerical solution u of a scalar conservation law is said to be bound-preserving if global bounds u_min and u_max exist such that u_min ≤ u ≤ u_max holds in the domain of definition. These bounds must be known a priori. To enforce such inequality constraints at least for element averages in the context of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods, the numerical fluxes must be defined and constrained in an appropriate manner. In this work, we introduce a general framework for calculating fluxes that produce non-oscillatory DG approximations and preserve relevant global bounds for element averages even if the analytical solution of the PDE violates them due to modeling errors. The proposed methodology is based on a combination of flux and slope limiting. The (optional) slope limiter adjusts the gradients to impose local bounds on pointwise values of the high-order DG solution, which is used to calculate the fluxes. The flux limiter constrains changes of element averages so as to prevent violations of global bounds. Since manipulations of the target flux may introduce a consistency error, it is essential to guarantee that physically admissible fluxes remain unchanged.

Many mathematical models of computational fluid dynamics involve transport of conserved quantities, which must lie in a certain range to be physically meaningful. The analytical or numerical solution u of a scalar conservation law is said to be bound-preserving if global bounds u_min and u_max exist such that u_min ≤ u ≤ u_max holds in the domain of definition. These bounds must be known a priori. To enforce such inequality constraints at least for element averages in the context of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods, the numerical fluxes must be defined and constrained in an appropriate manner. In this work, we introduce a general framework for calculating fluxes that produce non-oscillatory DG approximations and preserve relevant global bounds for element averages even if the analytical solution of the PDE violates them due to modeling errors. The proposed methodology is based on a combination of flux and slope limiting. The (optional) slope limiter adjusts the gradients to impose local bounds on pointwise values of the high-order DG solution, which is used to calculate the fluxes. The flux limiter constrains changes of element averages so as to prevent violations of global bounds. Since manipulations of the target flux may introduce a consistency error, it is essential to guarantee that physically admissible fluxes remain unchanged. We propose two kinds of flux limiters, which meet this requirement. The first one is of monolithic type and its time-implicit version requires the iterative solution of a nonlinear problem. Only a fully converged solution is provably bound-preserving. The time-explicit version of this limiter is subject to a time step restriction, which we derive in this article. The second limiter is an iterative version of the multidimensional flux-corrected transport (FCT) algorithm and works as postprocessed correction scheme.

abstract = {Reinforcement structures involve using advanced materials, optimization techniques, and computational methods to enhance the strength and performance of components. Modern multi-material three-dimensional printers can manufacture reinforced structures with complex topologies. We present a computational design method to reinforce an object through the Solid Isotropic Material with a Penalization method to decrease the structure’s compliance by pinpointing particular areas in the structure that need strengthening while preserving the initial dimensions of the model. We demonstrate mathematically the typical topology optimization approach remains effective when substituting voids with an alternative material.

Reinforcement structures involve using advanced materials, optimization techniques, and computational methods to enhance the strength and performance of components. Modern multi-material three-dimensional printers can manufacture reinforced structures with complex topologies. We present a computational design method to reinforce an object through the Solid Isotropic Material with a Penalization method to decrease the structure’s compliance by pinpointing particular areas in the structure that need strengthening while preserving the initial dimensions of the model. We demonstrate mathematically the typical topology optimization approach remains effective when substituting voids with an alternative material.

abstract = {Learning fine-scale details of a coastal ocean simulation from a coarse representation is a challenging task. For real-world applications, high-resolution simulations are necessary to advance understanding of many coastal processes, specifically, to predict flooding resulting from tsunamis and storm surges. We propose a Deep Network for Coastal Super-Resolution (DNCSR) for spatiotemporal enhancement to efficiently learn the high-resolution numerical solution. Given images of coastal simulations produced on low-resolution computational meshes using low polynomial order discontinuous Galerkin discretizations and a coarse temporal resolution, the proposed DNCSR learns to produce high-resolution free surface elevation and velocity visualizations in both time and space. To efficiently model the dynamic changes over time and space, we propose grid-aware spatiotemporal attention to project the temporal features to the spatial domain for non-local feature matching. The coordinate information is also utilized via positional encoding. For the final reconstruction, we use the spatiotemporal bilinear operation to interpolate the missing frames and then expand the feature maps to the frequency domain for residual mapping. Besides data-driven losses, the proposed physics-informed loss guarantees gradient consistency and momentum changes. Their combination contributes to the overall 24% improvements in RMSE. To train the proposed model, we propose a large-scale coastal simulation dataset and use it for model optimization and evaluation. Our method shows superior super-resolution quality and fast computation compared to the state-of-the-art methods.},
