The discretization of linear partial differential equations with random data by means of the stochastic Galerkin finite element method results in general in a large coupled linear of system of equations. Using the stochastic diffusion equation as a model problem, we introduce and study a symmetric positive definite Kronecker product preconditioner for the Galerkin matrix. We compare the popular...

Accuracy-preserving and non-oscillatory shock-capturing technique is the bottle neck in the development of discontinuous Galerkin method. Inspired by the success of the k-exact WENO limiters for high order finite volume methods, this paper generalize the k-exact WENO limiter to discontinuous Galerkin methods. Also several improvements are put forward to keep the compactness and high-order accur...

Mixed and Mixed Hybrid Finite Elements (MHFE) methods have been widely used in the last decade for simulation of groundwater flow problem, petroleum reservoir problems, potential flow problems, etc. The main advantage of these methods is that, unlike the classical Galerkin approach, they guarantee local and global mass balance, as well the flux continuity between inter-element sides. The simple...

the current paper proposes a technique for the numerical solution of linear control systems.the method is based on galerkin method, which uses the interpolating scaling functions. fora highly accurate connection between functions and their derivatives, an operational matrix forthe derivatives is established to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. several testproblems are given, a...

In the present study, free vibration behaviors of of carbon nanotube (CNT) and boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) have been investigated via Eringen’s nonlocal continuum theory. Size effect has been considered via nonlocal continuum theory. Nanotubes have become popular in the world of science thanks to their characteristic properties. In this study, free vibrations of Boron Nitride Nanotube (BNNT) ...

In this paper the damage location in beam like-structure is determined using static and dynamic data obtained using finite volume method. The change of static and dynamic displacement due to damage is used to establish an indicator for determining the damage location. In order to assess the robustness of the proposed method for structural damage detection, three test examples including a static...

In order to perform electroencephalography (EEG) source reconstruction, i.e., to localize the sources underlying a measured EEG, the electric potential distribution at the electrodes generated by a dipolar current source in the brain has to be simulated, which is the so-called EEG forward problem. To solve it accurately, it is necessary to apply numerical methods that are able to take the indiv...
