Some Organising Principles for Coupling in Multiphysics and Multiscale Models
نویسنده
چکیده
Computational science faces new challenges posed by multiphysics and multiscale, or more generally put, coupled models. These systems are composites formed from separate subsystem models that interact via data exchanges. These data dependencies pose a coupling problem, and on distributed-memory computers, a parallel coupling problem. This paper presents a definition of terms and a set of organising principles for the coupling and parallel coupling problems. It is meant as a first step towards creating a theory of coupled models. These principles are then employed in a case study of a coupled climate model and offer remarkable insight into its structure.

Integrated Heart – Coupling multiscale and multiphysics models for the simulation of the cardiac function
Mathematical modelling of the human heart and its function can expand our understanding of various cardiac diseases, which remain the most common cause of death in the developed world. Like other physiological systems, the heart can be understood as a complex multiscale system involving interacting phenomena at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ levels. This article addresses the numeri...

Micro Abstract This contributions discusses the simulation of magnetothermal effects in superconducting magnets as used in particle accelerators. An iterative coupling scheme using reduced order models between a magnetothermal partial differential model and an electrical lumped-element circuit is demonstrated. The multiphysics, multirate and multiscale problem requires a consistent formulation ...
متن کاملMultiphysics and multiscale software frameworks : an annotated bibliography
Multiphysics and multiscale modelling and simulation (MMS) is an emerging trend for the analysis and design of complex systems in many domains. As a result, there are an overwhelmingly large number of MMS software frameworks in the literature and market, while a comprehensive account of these is apparently missing. This paper presents an annotated bibliography of MMS software frameworks. A thor...

Multiphysics and multiscale simulation systems are emerging as a new grand challenge in computational science, largely because of increased computing power provided by the distributed-memory parallel programming model on commodity clusters. These systems often present a parallel coupling problem in their intercomponent data exchanges. Another potential problem in these coupled systems is langua...
متن کاملCode-coupling strategy for efficient development of computer software in multiscale and multiphysics nonlinear evolution problems in computational mechanics
From its early days and focus upon the finite element method development (e.g. Zienkiewicz [1971], Bittnar [1998]), the computational mechanics has developed into a very broad area, much driven by various industrial applications (e.g. Oden et al. [2003]). Very diverse problems are presently of interest for research and expertise of computational mechanics community, such as biomechanics, nanote...
