A Multilevel-Multigrid Approach to Multiscale Electromagnetic Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The time-dependent Maxwell’s equations are solved for mobile device applications using a multilevel-multigrid finite-difference timedomain (FDTD) method. For three-dimensional models that simulate system level details of mobile devices, the smallest features are in the nanometre (10−9 m) range, leading to a time-step size in the attosecond (10−18 s) range. The feature sizes of mobile devices are in the centimetre (10−2 m) range, while for health and safety studies that include human models features are in the metre range.

Nonlinear Multilevel Iterative Methods for Multiscale Models of Air/water Flow in Porous Media
Richards’ equation and the two-phase flow equations are well-known degenerate parabolic models of air/water flow in porous media. Poor iterative solver performance and small time steps during transient simulations are often reported in field-scale simulations. In this work we study Newton-multigrid and nonlinear multigrid methods applied to discrete air/water flow models. The models are discret...

Introduction: Robust and efficient multilevel iterative solvers are vital for the predictive simulation of complex multiscale and multicomponent nonlinear applications. Specifically, diffusive phenomena play a significant role in wide range of applications, including radiation transport, flow in porous media, and composite materials. In fact, the solution of the diffusive component (elliptic co...
متن کاملMultilevel Upscaling in Heterogeneous Porous Media
The multiscale structure of heterogeneous porous media prevents a straightforward numerical treatment of the underlying mathematical ow models. In particular, fully resolved ow simulations are intractable and yet the ne-scale structure of a porous medium may signiicantly innuence the coarse-scale properties of the solution (e.g., average ow rates). Consequently, homogenization or upscaling proc...
متن کاملComponents of a more robust multilevel solver for emerging ar- chitectures and complex applications
Computational simulation in the physical and information sciences continues to place demands on the underlying linear solvers used in the process. Algebraicbased multigrid methods offer a flexible medium for adapting to a wide range of problems, yet traditional approaches have designed the multigrid components for basic, isotropic, and well-behaved phenomenon. As a result, out-of-the-box multil...
متن کاملLearning across scales - A multiscale method for Convolution Neural Networks
In this work we explore the connection between Convolution Neural Networks, partial differential equations, multigrid/multiscale methods and and optimal control. We show that convolution neural networks can be represented as a discretization of nonlinear partial differential equations, and that the learning process can be interpreted as a control problem where we attempt to estimate the coeffic...
