Computational mechanics of multiphase materials-modeling strategies at different scales
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2011, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper addresses various scale-bridging modeling and discretization strategies for multiphase porous materials, starting with a micromechanics model for ion transport within the pore space to generate homogenized diffusion coefficients. Using homogenized macroscopic properties, the theory of poromechanics provides the modeling framework for the macroscopic representation of transport and phase change processes as it is demonstrated for freezing of porous materials using a three-field formulation. The theory of poromechanics is again employed as an appropriate representation of more or less intact porous materials, in conjunction with a two-field Extended Finite Element model as a scale bridging tool to describe coupled hydro-mechanical processes in cracked porous materials at a macroscopic level.

Mathematical and numerical multi-scale modelling of multiphysics problems
In this paper we discuss two multi-scale procedures, both of mathematical nature as opposed to purely numerical ones. Examples are shown for the two cases. Attention is also devoted to thermodynamical aspects such as the...

Numerical investigations of the convergence of a remeshing algorithm on an example of subsonic flow
The main goal of the paper is to analyze convergence of a remeshing scheme evaluated by the author [8] on the example of a potential flow around a profile. It is assumed that flow is stationary, irrotational, inviscid an...
