Finite Volume Structure-Preserving Discretization of 1D Distributed-Parameter Port-Hamiltonian Systems

Explicit Simplicial Discretization of Distributed-Parameter Port-Hamiltonian Systems

Simplicial Dirac structures as finite analogues of the canonical Stokes-Dirac structure, capturing the topological laws of the system, are defined on simplicial manifolds in terms of primal and dual cochains related by the coboundary operators. These finite-dimensional Dirac structures offer a framework for the formulation of standard input-output finite-dimensional portHamiltonian systems that...

Distributed-Parameter Port-Hamiltonian Systems

Discrete Geometry Approach to Structure-Preserving Discretization of Port-Hamiltonian Systems

Computers have emerged as essential tools in the modern scientific analysis and simulationbased design of complex physical systems. The deeply-seated abstraction of continuity immanent to many physical systems inherently clashes with a digital computer’s ability of storing and manipulating only finite sets of numbers. While there has been a number of computational techniques that proposed discr...

Structure preserving model reduction of port-Hamiltonian systems

It is shown that by use of the Kalman-decomposition an uncontrollable and/or unobservable port-Hamiltonian system is reduced to a controllable/observable system that inherits a port-Hamiltonian structure. Energy and co-energy variable representations for port-Hamiltonian systems are discussed and the reduction procedures are used for both representations. For a general portHamiltonian system in...

Port-Hamiltonian discretization for open channel flows

A finite-dimensional Port-Hamiltonian formulation for the dynamics of smooth open channel flows is presented. A numerical scheme based on this formulation is developed for both the linear and nonlinear shallow water equations. The scheme is verified against exact solutions and has the advantage of conservation of mass and energy to the discrete level.
