Parametric and Wake Study of a Ducted Propeller Using The Variational Multi-Scale Method
A Variational Multi-Scale formulation was used to generate a high-fidelity simulation of a ducted propeller in a 3D unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes turbulent flow. The blades were incorporated as moving surfaces via an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian treatment of such equations. The domain …

An operator-customized wavelet-finite element approach for the adaptive solution of second-order partial differential equations on unstructured meshes
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a widely popular method for the numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations (PDE), on multi-dimensional unstructured meshes. Lagrangian finite elements, which preserve C⁰ continuity with interpolating piecewise-polynomial shape functions, are a common …

Computational modeling of intrinsic dissipation in nano-structure
… Using insights from the MD simulation, a multi-scale method to model intrinsic damping is developed. The high frequency vibration in NEMS have important applications. A few examples include the sensing of atomic mass, detection of biological molecules and observation of quantum effects in …

Quantifying high-resolution hydrologic parameters at the basin scale using InSAR and inverse modeling, Las Vegas Valley, NV
… the most accurate and computationally efficient method for estimating T and Ske and Skv at the basin scale: the zonation method (ZM), the adaptive multi-scale method and the Differential Evolution Adaptive Metropolis Markov chain Monte Carlo scheme (DREAM MCMC). Chapter 4 outlines a fine-scale …

Computational analysis of thermodynamic and mechanical properties of nano-materials
… When the characteristic length of NEMS scales down to tens of nanometers, nano-scale effects, such as quantum effects, surface effects, material defects become significant. Classical theories and bulk material properties based on the continuum assumption may not be directly applicable …

Influence of Extracellular Matrix Stiffness and Topography on Neuronal Cell Behavior and Neurite Outgrowth
… studies.</p> <p>This study develops a multi-scale method to analyze the effect of ECM stiffness and topography on neuronal cell deformation behavior by coupling neuronal cell receptor atomistic behavior to neuronal cell interactions with the ECM at the microscale. Non-linear finite …
