An iterative parallel workload balancing framework for direct condensation of substructures

2007-01-01
This study presents a workload balancing framework which diffuses the condensation time imbalances of substructures in a homogeneous computing environment. The structure is initially partitioned in such a way that the number of substructures is equal to the Dumber of processors. Then, the estimated condensation time imbalance of the initial substructures is adjusted by iteratively transferring nodes from the substructures with slower estimated condensation times to the substructures with faster estimated condensation times. Examples which illustrate the applicability and efficiency of this framework are presented. In these examples, the effect of utilizing different repartitioning and equation numbering algorithms are investigated.

A projection based variational multiscale method for a fluid–fluid interaction problem
Ağgül, Mustafa ; Eroğlu, Fatma Güler ; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Labovsky, Alexer E. (Elsevier BV, 2020-06-15)
The proposed method aims to approximate a solution of a fluid–fluid interaction problem in case of low viscosities. The nonlinear interface condition on the joint boundary allows for this problem to be viewed as a simplified version of the atmosphere–ocean coupling. Thus, the proposed method should be viewed as potentially applicable to air–sea coupled flows in turbulent regime. The method consists of two key ingredients. The geometric averaging approach is used for efficient and stable decoupling of the pr...
A modular regularized variational multiscale proper orthogonal decomposition for incompressible flows
Eroglu, Fatma G.; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Rebholz, Leo G. (Elsevier BV, 2017-10-01)
In this paper, we propose, analyze and test a post-processing implementation of a projection-based variational multiscale (VMS) method with proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The projection-based VMS stabilization is added as a separate post-processing step to the standard POD approximation, and since the stabilization step is completely decoupled, the method can easily be incorporated into existing codes, and stabilization parameters can be tuned independe...
A fully implicit finite element method for bidomain models of cardiac electromechanics
Dal, Hüsnü; Göktepe, Serdar (Elsevier BV, 2013-01-01)
We propose a novel, monolithic, and unconditionally stable finite element algorithm for the bidomain-based approach to cardiac electromechanics. We introduce the transmembrane potential, the extracellular potential, and the displacement field as independent variables, and extend the common two-field bidomain formulation of electrophysiology to a three-field formulation of electromechanics. The intrinsic coupling arises from both excitation-induced contraction of cardiac cells and the deformation-induced gen...
The DRBEM solution of incompressible MHD flow equations
Bozkaya, Nuray; Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 2011-12-10)
This paper presents a dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) formulation coupled with an implicit backward difference time integration scheme for the solution of the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow equations. The governing equations are the coupled system of Navier-Stokes equations and Maxwell's equations of electromagnetics through Ohm's law. We are concerned with a stream function-vorticity-magnetic induction-current density formulation of the full MHD equations in 2D. The stream f...
