A FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTION MODEL CAPTURING LONGITUDINAL DISPLACEMENT IN ARTERIES: MODELING, COMPUTATIONAL METHOD, AND COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENTAL DATA

Bukac, Martina (2012-05)

The focus of this thesis is on numerical modeling of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems with application to hemodynamics. Recent in vivo studies, utilizing ultrasound contour and speckle tracking methods, have ...
A Kinetic Theory Approach to Pedestrian Motion and Onset of Disease Spreading

Kim, Daewa 1988- (2019-04-22)

This dissertation shows a kinetic approach for pedestrian dynamics. First, we model the evacuation of a crowd from bounded domains. The interactions of a person with other pedestrians and the environment, which includes ...
Advances in Algorithms for Atmospheric Sciences

Bicol, Kayla M 1990- (2019-08-05)

This dissertation contributes to two mathematical disciplines applied in the Atmospheric Sciences: computational fluid dynamics and data assimilation. First, we consider a filter stabilization technique with a deconvolution-based ...
Mixed Finite Element Methods with Piece-Wise Constant Fluxes

Liu, Zhuo 1987-; 0000-0003-3980-9758 (2015-05)

In this dissertation, we consider a new mixed finite element discretization, its error estimation, monotonicity and the approaches to implement local refinement. We also do some numerical experiments to verify error estimates ...
