Modelagem de cristais fotônicos tridimensionais pelo método das diferenças finitas no domínio do tempo (FDTD) / Modeling of tridimensional photonic crystals by the finite difference time domain method (FDTD)

Silva, Anderson Oliveira 10 July 2008 (has links)
A modelagem numérica de cristais fotônicos tridimensionais é o objeto de estudo deste trabalho. Especificamente, o método das diferenças finitas no domínio do tempo (FDTD) é utilizado para a modelagem de um cristal FCC (face-centered-cubic) formado por opalas de látex imersas em ar. Por meio de uma análise comparativa com o cristal formado por opalas inversas (opalas de ar incrustadas em uma matriz dielétrica com alto índice de refração), é mostrado que o baixo contraste de índice de refração do cristal de látex é característica preponderante para a inexistência de uma banda proibida completa. No entanto, podem ser observadas bandas fotônicas proibidas ao longo de algumas direções de propagação, como é evidenciado através da investigação da difração de Bragg relativa à família de planos cristalinos (111). Sempre que possível os resultados numéricos são comparados com os dados experimentais disponíveis. / The numerical modeling of tridimensional photonic crystals is the object of study in this work. Especifically, the finite difference time domain method (FDTD) is used for the modeling of a FCC (face-centered-cubic) crystal composed by latex opals immersed in air. Through a comparative analysis to a crystal composed by inverse opals (close-packed air opals in a dielectric matrix with high refractive index), it is shown that the low contrast of the latex crystal is the crucial characteristic to prevent the rising of a complete photonic band gap. However, photonic band gaps can be observed for certain directions of propagation, as it is demonstrated by the investigation of Bragg diffraction related to the (111) crystalline planes. Wherever possible, the numerical results are compared to available experimental data.

Numerical Modeling Of Re-suspension And Transport Of Fine Sediments In Coastal Waters

Karadogan, Erol 01 January 2005 (has links) (PDF)
In this thesis, the theory of three dimensional numerical modeling of transport and re-suspension of fine sediments is studied and a computer program is develped for simulation of the three dimensional suspended sediment transport. The computer program solves the three dimensional advection-diffusion equation simultaneously with a computer program prepared earlier for the simulation of three dimensional current systems. This computer program computes the velocity vectors, eddy viscosities and water surface elavations which are used as inputs by the program of fine sediment transport. The model is applied to Bay of Izmir for different wind conditions.

A Stochastic Delay Model for Pricing Corporate Liabilities

Kemajou, Elisabeth 01 August 2012 (has links)
We suppose that the price of a firm follows a nonlinear stochastic delay differential equation. We also assume that any claim whose value depends on firm value and time follows a nonlinear stochastic delay differential equation. Using self-financed strategy and replication we are able to derive a random partial differential equation (RPDE) satisfied by any corporate claim whose value is a function of firm value and time. Under specific final and boundary conditions, we solve the RPDE for the debt value and loan guarantees within a single period and homogeneous class of debt. We then analyze the risk structure of a levered firm. We also evaluate loan guarantees in the presence of more than one debt. Furthermore, we perform numerical simulations for specific companies and compare our results with existing models.
