This paper presents an effective optimization method using the Kriging surrogate model combing with modified rectangular grid sampling to reduce the stent dogboning effect in the expansion process. An infilling sampling criterion named expected improvement (EI) is used to balance local and global searches in the optimization iteration. Four commonly used finite element models of stent dilation ...

We perform a mathematical analysis of a model for drug dissolution-diffusion in non erodible nor swellable devices. We deduce a model and obtain a coupled nonlinear system which contains a parabolic equation for the dissolved drug and an ordinary differential equation for the solid drug, which is assumed to be distributed in the whole domain into microspheres which can differ in size. We analyz...

The cylinder working fluid mean temperature, rate of heat fluxes to combustion chamber and temperature distribution on combustion chamber surface will be calculated in this research. By simulating thermodynamic cycle of engine, temperature distribution of combustion chamber will be calculated by the Crank-Nicolson method. An implicit finite difference method was used in this code. Special treat...

Themiscible displacement of one incompressible fluid by another in a porous medium is governed by a system of two equations. One is elliptic form equation for the pressure and the other is parabolic form equation for the concentration of one of the fluids. Since only the velocity and not the pressure appears explicitly in the concentration equation, we use a mixed finite element method for the ...

We propose a generalized multiscale finite element method (GMsFEM) based on clustering algorithm to study the elliptic PDEs with random coefficients in the multiquery setting. Our method consists of offline and online stages. In the offline stage, we construct a small number of reduced basis functions within each coarse grid block, which can then be used to approximate the multiscale finite ele...

In this paper, we propose a two-grid finite element method for solving coupled partial differential equations, e.g., the Schrödinger-type equation. With this method, the solution of the coupled equations on a fine grid is reduced to the solution of coupled equations on a much coarser grid together with the solution of decoupled equations on the fine grid. It is shown, both theoretically and num...

In this paper, we present an efficient method of two-grid scheme for the approximation of two-dimensional nonlinear parabolic equations using an expanded mixed finite element method. We use two Newton iterations on the fine grid in our methods. Firstly, we solve an original nonlinear problem on the coarse nonlinear grid, then we use Newton iterations on the fine grid twice. The two-grid idea is...

This paper presents a class of kernel-free boundary integral (KFBI) methods for general elliptic boundary value problems (BVPs). The boundary integral equations reformulated from the BVPs are solved iteratively with the GMRES method. During the iteration, the boundary and volume integrals involving Green's functions are approximated by structured grid-based numerical solutions, which avoids the...
