A Multilevel Newton Method for Mixed-Energy Domain Simulation of MEMS
نویسندگان
چکیده
An efficient black-box algorithm for self-consistent analysis of three-dimensional (3-D) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is described. The algorithm is matrix-free based and employs a multilevel Newton technique to solve the coupled electromechanical equations. The new approach is shown to converge very rapidly and is much faster than relaxation algorithm for tightly coupled cases. While this paper focuses on coupled electromechanical analysis, the proposed algorithm can be extended to include several coupled domains typically encountered in MEMS. [355]

This paper presents a new method to find the optimum switching angles in voltage source multilevel converters in order to minimize specific higher order harmonics and decrease the total harmonic distortion (THD) of their output voltage waveform. The output voltage waveform of inverter can either be in the form of staircase or PWM. In order to increase the degrees of freedom and elimination of m...
متن کاملMixed Large-Eddy Simulation Model for Turbulent Flows across Tube Bundles Using Parallel Coupled Multiblock NS Solver
In this study, turbulent flow around a tube bundle in non-orthogonal grid is simulated using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique and parallelization of fully coupled Navier – Stokes (NS) equations. To model the small eddies, the Smagorinsky and a mixed model was used. This model represents the effect of dissipation and the grid-scale and subgrid-scale interactions. The fully coupled NS eq...
