‎In this paper we establish a new numerical method for solving a class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) based on B-splines wavelets‎. ‎The method combines implicit collocation with the multi-scale method‎. Using the multi-scale method‎, ‎SPDEs can be solved on a given subdomain with more accuracy and lower computational cost than the rest of the domain‎. ‎The stability and c...

A novel time integration approach is explored for unsteady flow computations. It is a multi-block formulation in time where one solves for all time levels within a block simultaneously. The time discretization within a block is based on the summation-by-parts (SBP) technique in time combined with the simultaneous-approximation-term (SAT) technique for imposing the initial condition. The approac...

Topology optimization is formulated in terms of the nodal variables that control an implicit function description of the shape. The implicit function is constrained by upper and lower bounds, so that only a band of nodal variables needs to be considered in each step of the optimization. The weak form of the equilibrium equation is expressed as a Heaviside function of the implicit function; the ...

A glycolytic model, which is an autocatalytic biochemical system, is solved numerically using two numerical methods based on finite-difference schemes. Method 1, the well known Euler method, is an explicit method, whereas method 2 is implicit. Although the implicit method, method 2, is first-order accurate in time it converges to the fixed point(s) for large time step, ‘. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All...

This paper describes a technique for incorporating real-time elastically deformable 3D organs in haptic surgical simulators. Our system is a physically based particle model utilizing a mass-springs-damper connectivity with an implicit predictor to speed up calculations during each time step. The solution involves repeated application of Newton's 2ndd Law of motion: F = ma using an implicit solv...

Numerical integration methods for nonlinear differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) in strangeness-free form are studied. In particular, half-explicit methods based on popular explicit methods like one-leg methods, linear multi-step methods, and Runge-Kutta methods are proposed and analyzed. Compared with well-known implicit methods for DAEs, these half-explicit methods demonstrate their effici...

We present a parallel explicit/implicit time integration scheme well suited for blockadaptive grids. The basic idea of the algorithm is that the time stepping scheme can differ in the blocks of the grid for a given time step: an explicit scheme is used in the blocks where the local stability requirement is not violated and an implicit scheme is used in the blocks where the explicit scheme would...

The Computation and Modeling Engineering Laboratory (CaMEL), an implicit solver-based storm surge model, has been extended for use on high performance computing platforms. An MPI (Message Passing Interface) based parallel version of CaMEL has been developed from the previously existing serial version. CaMEL uses hybrid finite element and finite volume techniques to solve shallow water conservat...

An improved scheme has been developed to solve the standard propagation equations (SPE) for Erbium doped fiber sources (EDFS). The scheme uses Rosenbrock algorithm based on implicit differentiation methods. The profiles of Forward Amplified Spontaneous Emission (FASE), Backward Amplified Spontaneous Emission (BASE) and Pump power along the fiber are presented and compared with the results of co...
