In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden kontinuumsmechanische Probleme mit nichtmateriellen Randbedingungen untersucht. Randbedingungen gelten dabei als nichtmateriell, wenn sie im Zeitverlauf nicht ein und demselben materiellen Punkt zugeordnet werden können. Die Erweiterung der klassischen kontinuumsmechanischen Feldgleichungen um solche Randbedingungen erfolgt unter Anwendung einer Arbitrary-LAGRANGE-EULER-Kinematik. Hierbei wird eine Notation entwickelt, bei der Feldgrößen und Operatoren ihre jeweilige Platzierung eindeutig zugeordnet wird. Insbesondere in Hinblick auf eine konsistente Darstellung von Ableitungsoperatoren werden die Vorteile dieser Schreibweise dargelegt. Zur Ermittlung und Untersuchung (semi-)analytischer Lösungen dienen Beispiele eindimensionaler Kontinua, die sich zwei unterschiedlichen Problemklassen zuordnen lassen. In der ersten Problemklasse gelingen analytische Lösungen mit Hilfe eines Integrations- und eines Separationsansatzes für das Modell einer axial unbewegten, schwingenden Saite. Als nichtmaterielle Randbedingungen werden dabei die transversalen Verschiebungen an zwei zeitabhängigen Positionen zu null vorgeschrieben. In der zweiten Problemklasse sind eine Saite sowie ein Seil, die einer vorgegebenen axialen Führungsbewegung unterliegen, Gegenstand der Untersuchung. In diesem Fall sind die zwei vorgegebenen, räumlich festen Verschiebungsrandbedingungen nichtmateriell. Es finden (semi-)analytische Verfahren Anwendung. Die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen den Randbedingungen und dem jeweils betrachteten Kontinuum wird dabei als beliebig zeitabhängig angenommen. Eine experimentelle Studie zum Schwingungsverhalten eines Monochords mit nichtmateriellen Randbedingungen vervollständigt die Analyse eindimensionaler Kontinua. Aus den ermittelten (semi-)analytischen Lösungen werden Rückschlüsse auf das Transformationsverhalten der Bewegungsgleichungen dreidimensionaler Kontinua gezogen. Damit sind die entwickelten Methoden in vielen technischen Anwendungen einsetzbar. Als ein wirtschaftlich bedeutendes Beispiel ist die Schwingungsanalyse axial bewegter Papierbahnen in Papierproduktionsmaschinen zu nennen. / Within this work, problems of continuum mechanics with non-material boundary conditions are investigated. Boundary conditions are classified as non-material if they can not be assigned to one and only one material particle over time. The extension of the classical field-equations of continuum mechanics by such boundary conditions is realized by application of Arbitrary-LAGRANGE -E ULER -Kinematics. Therefore a notation, which assigns the particular placement to field quantities and operators, is developed. The advantages of this notation can be identified particularly with regard to a consistent representation of derivative operators. Examples of one-dimensional continua, which can be assigned to different problem categories, are used to determine and investigate (semi-)analytical solutions. In the first category, analytical solutions can be found using an integral and a separation formulation for the model of an axially non-moving, vibrating string. As non-material boundary conditions the transverse displacements at two time-dependent positions are prescribed to zero. A string and a wire, which are moved axially, are investigated within the second problem category. In this case, the prescribed, spatially fixed displacement conditions are non-material. The applied methods are (semi-)analytical. The relative velocity between the boundary conditions and the considered continuum is assumed to be arbitrary time-dependent. An experimental study on the vibration behaviour of a monochord with non-material boundary conditions completes the analysis of one-dimensional continua. Conclusions on the transformation of the equations of motion of three-dimensional continua are derived from the determined (semi-)analytical solutions. For this reason the developed methods are usable in many technical applications. The vibration analysis of axially moving paper sheets in papermaking machines can be stated as an economical important example.

A realistic description of ionization in intense laser fields is implemented into the Non-Adiabatic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (NA-QMD) formalism. First, the error of a finite basis expansion is considered and a new measure is proposed for time-dependent calculations. This is used to investigate systematically the influence of the used basis set in calculations on the hydrogen atom in intense laser fields. Second, absorbing boundary conditions in basis expansion are introduced via an imaginary potential into the effective one-particle Hamiltonian. It is shown that the used form of the absorber potential is valid in many-electron time-dependent density functional theory calculations, i.e. that only ionized states are affected by the absorbing potential. The absorber is then tested on reference calculations that exist for H and aligned H+2 in intense laser fields. Excellent agreement is found. Additionally, an approximative treatment of the missing electron-nuclear correlations is proposed. It is found in calculations on H+2 that a qualitative improvement of the description of nuclear dynamics results. The extension of the NA-QMD formalism is then used to investigate the alignment behavior of diatomic molecules. Recent experiments on H+2 and H2 are reviewed and explained. It is found that dynamic alignment, i.e. the laser induced rotation of the molecule, plays a central role. The alignment behavior of H+2 and H2 and its intensity dependence is investigated after that. A drastic difference between H+2 and H2 is found in NA-QMD as well as model calculations. Then, the focus is on an astonishing new effect that has been found in N2 calculations. This effect which is called &amp;quot;rotational destabilization&amp;quot; is studied on the model system H+2. Yet, it might be observable only in heavy dimers and might have already been found in an experiment on I2.

Ziel der Arbeit ist es, die instationären zeitlichen und räumlichen Bewegungsabläufe stark deformierbarer eindimensionaler Kontinua durch ein allgemeines mechanisch-mathematisches Modell unter Berücksichtigung ihrer Biege- und Torsionssteifigkeit zu beschreiben und zu dessen Lösung geeignete numerische Verfahren zu testen und auszuwählen. Die entwickelten Algorithmen werden auf Aufgabenstellungen aus der Raumfahrt-, Meeres- und Textiltechnik angewendet. / It is the aim of this thesis to describe the instationary motion of flexible one-dimensional continua by a general mechanical-mathematical model, when bending and torsional stiffness is not negligible, and to test and select appropriate numerical solution methods. The developed algorithms are used to solve problems from space, marine and textil engineering.

Non-overflow flow-through rockfill structures are river engineering elements used to attenuate and delay inflow hydrographs. They represent expedient places to deposit rather enormous quantities of waste rock at mountainous mine sites. Their application has become so common that matters of safety regarding their design have been laid out in Section 8.5 of the Canadian Dam Safety Guidelines (CDA 2007). The research described herein was directed at investigating the different aspects of the hydraulics of these flow-through rockfill structures. In order to assess the potential for an unraveling failure of flow-through rockfill dams, a systematic study of the hydraulic design of these structures was conducted and the non-linear nature of flow through these structures was dealt with using a p-LaPlacian-like partial differential equation. Subsequently, factors of safety against this type of failure are presented for a range of downstream slopes, thus showing the unsafe combinations of embankment slope and particle diameter. Three different index gradients within the toe of such structures were investigated. In this regard, the gradient most suitable for independently computing the height of the point of first flow emergence on the downstream face is examined and a method for independently computing the variation in hydraulic head within that vertical (which allows for the toe of the structure to be isolated) is presented. An additional gradient that allows for the independent estimation of the default tailwater depth is proposed. In order to provide better tools to assess the behavior of these embankments at the toe, laboratory and analytical studies were undertaken. In this regard, the hydraulics associated with the zone of the downstream toe were studied. The depth variation of the seepage-face was computationally modeled, and two approaches for solving the spatially varied flow (SVF) condition problem within the toe region undertaken. The results show that a dual linear variation in depth can be used to good accuracy, without inducing any unrealistic exit gradients in the zone of primary concern with respect to unraveling. It is hoped that these techniques and computational tools provided herein will aid in facilitating the design and assessment of these flow-through rockfill structures.

This thesis reports the development, testing, and application of computer programs for simulating Lagrangian-Stochastic particle dispersion in coastal seas, with particular application to tide and storm induced dispersion in South Australian seas. The three-dimensional tidal equations are briefly discussed for the two types of surge models used, and finite-difference methods for numerically solving these equations are considered. Different methods of simulating flows at open sea boundaries are investigated. The method of particle tracking and the development of the particle tracking model is also described. Various tests are conducted to investigate both the advective and diffusive aspects of dispersion, and a number of scenarios for the simulation of open (ocean) and closed (coastal) boundaries are considered. Various aspects of the particle tracking routine are given specific characteristics according to the nature of the particle being considered. Application of the tide and storm surge model to the Great Australian Bight is described. This uses spherical polar co-ordinates to account for the curvature of the earth, and an oblique boundary element to increase accuracy of the coastline representation. The effect of a low pressure system moving from west to east across the Bight and the resulting significant observed surge at Thevenard during the storm of April 1996 is simulated. This storm resulted in a significant number of deaths in aquaculture farms containing southern bluefin tuna (Thunnas maccoyii) within the Boston Bay region to the extreme east of the Bight due to the agitation of almost neutrally buoyant organic sediments at the sea floor. The effects of this storm are further considered using a Cartesian co-ordinate fine-grid local model of Boston Bay, in Spencer Gulf, South Australia, where both tidal and storm (wind and outside surge) induced flows are simulated. The dispersion of suspended neutrally buoyant sediment throughout the region is considered, and compared with the mortalities of tuna at various farms within the region. Tidal and storm induced currents in the Gulf St. Vincent region, South Australia, have also been modelled using Cartesian co-ordinates. Detailed consideration has been given to the modelling of tides, winds, atmospheric pressures and outside surges from the two open boundaries in Investigator Strait and Backstairs Passage. The information obtained has enabled the modelling of a number of storm surge scenarios. Further to this, various simulations of the dispersion of the larvae of the western king prawn (Penaeus latisulcatus) have been driven using the storm surge model developed. These incorporate currents near the surface and the sea floor, as well as the consideration of changes in behaviour during the life history of the larvae. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences, 2000.

Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / Como eventos de fissão induzida por nêutrons não ocorrem nas regiões nãomultiplicativas de reatores nucleares, e.g., moderador, refletor, e meios estruturais, essas regiões não geram potência e a eficiência computacional dos cálculos globais de reatores nucleares pode portanto ser aumentada eliminando os cálculos numéricos explícitos no interior das regiões não-multiplicativas em torno do núcleo ativo. É discutida nesta dissertação a eficiência computacional de condições de contorno aproximadas tipo albedo na formulação de ordenadas discretas (SN) para problemas de autovalor a dois grupos de energia em geometria bidimensional cartesiana. Albedo, palavra de origem latina para alvura, foi originalmente definido como a fração da luz incidente que é refletida difusamente por uma superfície. Esta palavra latina permaneceu como o termo científico usual em astronomia e nesta dissertação este conceito é estendido para reflexão de nêutrons. Este albedo SN nãoconvencional substitui aproximadamente a região refletora em torno do núcleo ativo do reator, pois os termos de fuga transversal são desprezados no interior do refletor. Se o problema, em particular, não possui termos de fuga transversal, i.e., trata-se de um problema unidimensional, então as condições de contorno albedo, como propostas nesta dissertação, são exatas. Por eficiência computacional entende-se analisar a precisão dos resultados numéricos em comparação com o tempo de execução computacional de cada simulação de um dado problema-modelo. Resultados numéricos para dois problemas-modelo com de simetria são considerados para ilustrar esta análise de eficiência. / As neutron fission events do not take place in the non-multiplying regions of nuclear reactors, e.g., moderator, reflector, and structural core, these regions do not generate power and the computational efficiency of nuclear reactor global calculations can hence be improved by eliminating the explicit numerical calculations within the non-multiplying regions around the active domain. Discussed here is the computational efficiency of approximate discrete ordinates (SN) albedo boundary conditions for two-energy group eigenvalue problems in X,Y geometry. Albedo, the Latin word for whiteness, was originally defined as the fraction of incident light reflected diffusely by a surface. This Latin word has remained the usual scientific term in astronomy and in this dissertation this concept is extended for the reflection of neutrons. The non-standard SN albedo substitutes approximately the reflector region around the active domain, as we neglect the transverse leakage terms within the nonmultiplying reflector. Should the problem have no transverse leakage terms, i.e., onedimensional slab geometry, then the offered albedo boundary conditions are exact. By computational efficiency we mean analyzing the accuracy of the numerical results versus the CPU execution time of each run for a given model problem. Numerical results to two symmetric test problems are shown to illustrate this efficiency analysis.

Title: Numerical Solution of the Three-dimensional Compressible Flow Author: Martin Kyncl Department: Department of Numerical Mathematics Supervisor: Doc. RNDr. Jiří Felcman, CSc. Abstract: This thesis deals with a fluid flow in 3D in general. The system of the equations, describing the compressible gas flow, is solved numerically, with the aid of the finite volume method. The main purpose is to describe particular boundary conditions, based on the analysis of the incomplete Riemann problem. The analysis of the original initial-value problem shows, that the right hand-side initial condition, forming the Riemann problem, can be partially replaced by the suitable complementary condition. Several modifications of the Riemann problem are introduced and analyzed, as an original result of this work. Algorithms to solve such problems were implemented and used in code for the solution of the compressible gas flow. Numerical experiments documenting the suggested methods are performed. Keywords: compressible fluid flow, the Navier-Stokes equations, the Euler equations, boundary conditions, finite volume method, the Riemann problem, numerical flux, tur- bulent flow

Qualitative properties of solutions to equations of fluid mechanics Mgr. Jakub Tichý Supervisor: doc. Mgr. Petr Kaplický, Ph.D. Department: Department of Mathematical Analysis Abstract This thesis is devoted to the boundary regularity of weak solutions to the system of nonlinear partial differential equations describing incompressible flows of a certain class of generalized Newtonian fluids in bounded domains. Equations of motion and continuity equation are complemented with perfect slip boundary conditions. For stationary generalized Stokes system in Rn with growth condi- tion described by N-function Φ the existence of the second derivatives of velocity and their regularity up to the boundary are shown. For the same system of equa- tions integrability of velocity gradients is proven. Lq estimates are obtained also for classical evolutionary Stokes system via interpolation-extrapolation scales. Hölder continuity of velocity gradients and pressure is shown for evolutionary generalized Navier-Stokes equations in R2 . Keywords Generalized Stokes and Navier - Stokes equations, incompressible fluids, perfect slip boundary conditions, regularity up to the boundary
