Computational Fluid Dynamics is frequently used nowadays to understand the flow in rivers, blood veins, around cars and planes, etc. This tool can also be used to make better cars and planes and to design dams and dikes to protect against flooding. In this talk we consider simulation with the incompressible Navier Stokes equations. After discretization by the Finite Element Method and lineariza...

Iterative solvers are of increasing interest in geomechanics with the move towards 3D finite element modelling. Potentially, these methods can lead to reduced computational complexity as, unlike direct methods, they do not require the full system matrix to be assembled. In general, however, iterative solvers have not been widely adopted in geomechanics due to problems with convergence. This pap...

The bidomain equations represent the most complete description of cardiac electrical activity. However, the equations prove computationally burdensome as the resulting system of equations has two entries per spatial node. This paper examines the computational performance obtained by decoupling the bidomain equations into two separate systems of equations, an elliptic equation for the extracellu...

Obtaining the transient probability distribution vector of a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) using an implicit ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver tends to be advantageous in terms of run-time computational cost when the product of the maximum output rate of the CTMC and the largest time of interest is large. In this paper, we show that when applied to the transient analysis of CTMC...

Integral equation methods have been used with great success in electromagnetic scattering calculations and in other problems involving unbounded computational domains. Their application is in many cases limited by the storage requirements of dense matrices and also by the rapidly increasing computational time. However, the use of iterative solvers and special methods for computing the matrix-ve...
