There is a very large number of very important situations which can be modeled with nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) in several dimensions. In general, these PDEs can be solved by discretizing in the spatial variables and transforming them into huge systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are very stiff. Therefore, standard explicit methods require a large number of iterations to solve stiff problems. But implicit schemes are computationally very expensive when solving huge systems of nonlinear ODEs. Several families of Extrapolated Stabilized Explicit Runge-Kutta schemes (ESERK) with different order of accuracy (3 to 6) are derived and analyzed in this work. They are explicit methods, with stability regions extended, along the negative real semi-axis, quadratically with respect to the number of stages s, hence they can be considered to solve stiff problems much faster than traditional explicit schemes. Additionally, they allow the adaptation of the step length easily with a very small cost.
Two new families of ESERK schemes (ESERK3 and ESERK6) are derived, and analyzed, in this work. Each family has more than 50 new schemes, with up to 84.000 stages in the case of ESERK6. For the first time, we also parallelized all these new variable step length and variable number of stages algorithms (ESERK3, ESERK4, ESERK5, and ESERK6). These parallelized strategies allow to decrease times significantly, as it is discussed and also shown numerically in two problems. Thus, the new codes provide very good results compared to other well-known ODE solvers. Finally, a new strategy is proposed to increase the efficiency of these schemes, and it is discussed the idea of combining ESERK families in one code, because typically, stiff problems have different zones and according to them and the requested tolerance the optimum order of convergence is different.
Interior transmission eigenvalue problems for the Helmholtz equation play an important role in inverse wave scattering. Some distribution properties of those eigenvalues in the complex plane are reviewed. Further, a new scattering model for the interior transmission eigenvalue problem with mixed boundary conditions is described and an efficient algorithm for computing the interior transmission eigenvalues is proposed. Finally, extensive numerical results for a variety of two-dimensional scatterers are presented to show the validity of the proposed scheme.
A second-order L-stable exponential time-differencing (ETD) method is developed by combining an ETD scheme with approximating the matrix exponentials by rational functions having real distinct poles (RDP), together with a dimensional splitting integrating factor technique. A variety of non-linear reaction-diffusion equations in two and three dimensions with either Dirichlet, Neumann, or periodic boundary conditions are solved with this scheme and shown to outperform a variety of other second-order implicit-explicit schemes. An additional performance boost is gained through further use of basic parallelization techniques.
In this article, a concept of implicit methods for scalar conservation laws in one or more spatial dimensions allowing also for source terms of various types is presented. This material is a significant extension of previous work of the first author (Breuß SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 43(3), 970–986 2005). Implicit notions are developed that are centered around a monotonicity criterion. We demonstrate a connection between a numerical scheme and a discrete entropy inequality, which is based on a classical approach by Crandall and Majda. Additionally, three implicit methods are investigated using the developed notions. Next, we conduct a convergence proof which is not based on a classical compactness argument. Finally, the theoretical results are confirmed by various numerical tests.
The inverse scattering problem for a conductive boundary condition and transmission eigenvalues
(2018)
In this paper, we consider the inverse scattering problem associated with an inhomogeneous media with a conductive boundary. In particular, we are interested in two problems that arise from this inverse problem: the inverse conductivity problem and the corresponding interior transmission eigenvalue problem. The inverse conductivity problem is to recover the conductive boundary parameter from the measured scattering data. We prove that the measured scatted data uniquely determine the conductivity parameter as well as describe a direct algorithm to recover the conductivity. The interior transmission eigenvalue problem is an eigenvalue problem associated with the inverse scattering of such materials. We investigate the convergence of the eigenvalues as the conductivity parameter tends to zero as well as prove existence and discreteness for the case of an absorbing media. Lastly, several numerical and analytical results support the theory and we show that the inside–outside duality method can be used to reconstruct the interior conductive eigenvalues.
The aim of the current study was to investigate the performance of integrated RF
transmit arrays with high channel count consisting of meander microstrip antennas
for body imaging at 7 T and to optimize the position and number of transmit ele-
ments. RF simulations using multiring antenna arrays placed behind the bore liner
were performed for realistic exposure conditions for body imaging. Simulations were
performed for arrays with as few as eight elements and for arrays with high channel
counts of up to 48 elements. The B1+ field was evaluated regarding the degrees of
freedom for RF shimming in the abdomen. Worst-case specific absorption rate
(SARwc ), SAR overestimation in the matrix compression, the number of virtual obser-
vation points (VOPs) and SAR efficiency were evaluated. Constrained RF shimming
was performed in differently oriented regions of interest in the body, and the devia-
tion from a target B1+ field was evaluated. Results show that integrated multiring
arrays are able to generate homogeneous B1+ field distributions for large FOVs, espe-
cially for coronal/sagittal slices, and thus enable body imaging at 7 T with a clinical
workflow; however, a low duty cycle or a high SAR is required to achieve homoge-
neous B1+ distributions and to exploit the full potential. In conclusion, integrated
arrays allow for high element counts that have high degrees of freedom for the pulse
optimization but also produce high SARwc , which reduces the SAR accuracy in the
VOP compression for low-SAR protocols, leading to a potential reduction in array
performance. Smaller SAR overestimations can increase SAR accuracy, but lead to a
high number of VOPs, which increases the computational cost for VOP evaluation
and makes online SAR monitoring or pulse optimization challenging. Arrays with
interleaved rings showed the best results in the study.
Wie kann man das Thema Forschungsdatenmanagement (FDM) konkret und anwendbar für Forschende gestalten, die bisher noch wenig Kontakt damit hatten? Auf diese Frage gibt das Konzept „30 Minuten FDM für HAW. Ein Informationsformat für Forschende an HAW in NRW“ eine Antwort. Es entstand als Projektarbeit im Zertifikatskurs Forschungsdatenmanagement 2023/24
Ingenieurwissenschaften im Fokus: Zugänge zu einem effektiven Forschungsdatenmanagement an HAW
(2024)
Im Rahmen der Love Data Week vom 12. bis 16.02.2024 haben die BMBF-Projekte FDM2_TH_Koeln der TH Köln (FK 16FDFH105) und Persist@HAW der FH Aachen (FK 16FDFH129) am 15.02.2024 gemeinsam eine Online-Veranstaltung mit dem Titel „Ingenieurwissenschaften im Fokus: Zugänge zu einem effektiven Forschungsdatenmanagement an HAW“ angeboten. Diese richtete sich an Forschende aus den Ingenieurwissenschaften, die einen ersten Zugang zum Thema Forschungsdatenmanagement (FDM) suchen und erfahren möchten, welche speziellen Angebote für die Daten aus den Ingenieurwissenschaften existieren.
In der Veranstaltung wurden wesentliche Aspekte des Forschungsdatenmanagements entlang des Datenlebenszyklus beleuchtet. Ziel war es, den Teilnehmenden praxisnahe Einblicke und Hilfestellungen zu einem effektiven Umgang mit Forschungsdaten an Hochschulen für Angewandte Wissenschaften (HAW) zu bieten. Durch Beispiele und konkrete Empfehlungen wurde das Thema zugänglich gemacht.
Um die Forschungsdatenmanagement-Plattform Coscine optimal für Forschungsprojekte nutzen zu können, ist es sinnvoll, einige Fragen im Vorhinein zu klären. So können aufwendige Änderungen der Datenverwaltung im Nachhinein vermieden werden. Hierzu bietet die Handreichung hilfreiche Leitfragen und Erläuterungen für Forschende und FDM-Service-Personal an HAW in NRW (DH.NRW-Hochschulen).
FDM-Service-Mitarbeitende können die Handreichung in ihrer Beratung zu Coscine einsetzen und mit der Eingabemaske in der Kopfzeile des Dokuments auf ihre Hochschule anpassen.
