A new finite element method for elliptic interface problems

Loubenets, Alexei January 2006 (has links)
<p>A finite element based numerical method for the two-dimensional elliptic interface problems is presented. Due to presence of these interfaces the problem will contain discontinuities in the coefficients and singularities in the right hand side that are represented by delta functionals along the interface. As a result, the solution to the interface problem and its derivatives may have jump discontinuities. The introduced method is specifically designed to handle this features of the solution using non-body fitted grids, i.e. the grids are not aligned with the interfaces.</p><p>The main idea is to modify the standard basis function in the vicinity of the interface such that the jump conditions are well approximated. The resulting finite element space is, in general, non-conforming. The interface itself is represented by a set of Lagrangian markers together with a parametric description connecting them. To illustrate the abilities of the method, numerical tests are presented. For all the considered test problems, the introduced method has been shown to have super-linear or second order of convergence. Our approach is also compared with the standard finite element method.</p><p>Finally, the method is applied to the interface Stokes problem, where the interface represents an elastic stretched band immersed in fluid. Since we assume the fluid to be homogeneous, the Stokes equations are reduced to a sequence of three Poisson problems that are solved with our method. The numerical results agree well with those found in the literature.</p>

Some PDAE aspects of the numerical simulation of CO2 heat pump

Strömgren, Magnus January 2006 (has links)
<p>We consider network modelling and numerical simulation of a simple CO<sub>2</sub> heat pump consisting of a compressor, a valve and two heat exchangers. In a first step we investigate analytical and numerical properties of the heat exchanger model. The heat exchanger model is derived from the Euler equations under the assumption that the velocity of the refridgerant flow is small compared to the local speed of sound. While the Euler equations form a hyperbolic system, the character of the new system, called The zero Mach number limit of the Euler equations, is unclear. The lack of a time derivative in the momentum equation makes the heat exchanger model by itself a PDAE system.</p><p>We analyse a frozen-coefficient linearisation of the heat exchanger model by transformation to a canonical form. The canonical form reveales that the system is equivalent to a hyperbolic equation and a parabolic block. The parabolic block is equivalent to a parabolic equation and an algebraic-differential relation, similar to the system that results when the heat equation <i>ut = uxx + f </i>is written as a first order system. We prove a stability estimate suggesting that the solution is more sensitive to perturbations, especially in time-dependent boundary conditions, than is indicated by previous results.</p><p>Furthermore, we consider semidiscretisation of the linearised heat exchanger model. In a method of lines approach using collocation at the gridpoints, we suggest that it is possible to use a simple first order difference scheme taking into account the direction of the flow and the boundary conditions. We show that using this difference scheme, the solution to the semidiscrete equations satisfies a discrete analogue to the stability estimate in the continuous case.</p><p>The results of the linear analysis is verified in numerical experiments with the nonlinear heat exchanger model.</p>

Using technology for real-time coordination of work : a study of work and artifact use in the everyday activities at SOS Alarm

Normark, Maria January 2002 (has links)
<p>Work in control rooms, or so-called Centers of coordination, places demands both on humans and technology. The people working there have to be able to make quick decisions as well as be alert during less busy times. The work has to be coordinated within the group, since the operators are much depending on each other's work. This places special demands on the technology; it should be fast, trustworthy and easy to manipulate so that the complexity of the work is reduced. This type of work has been a source of interest in the research area of Computer Supported Cooperative Work, especially so since the needs for real-time coordination is great in these settings.</p><p>SOS Alarm is a company that is responsible for managing the telephone calls made to the emergency number 112 in Sweden. They have 20 centers covering Sweden. This thesis present an overview of the SOS operators work; how they coordinate the information and tasks between them; how the technology supports that work. This study presents a fully computerized setting, compared to many other studies of centers of coordination that are not.</p><p>This ethnographic workplace study has been inspired by ethnomethodological perspectives as well as earlier field studies of work and technology use. Its main results are a description of the work practice and technology at two centers, implications for design of a new computer aided dispatch system that is currently developed at SOS Alarm and general design ideas for control rooms.</p>

Frigöring av kapacitet i ett kundorderstyrt företag / To free capacity in a make to order company

Söderberg, Daniella, Rom, Sandra January 2015 (has links)
Rapporten syftar till att belysa de olika metoder som finns för att frigöra men också synliggöra tillgänglig kapacitet. Det efterfrågades av fallföretaget, då de efter att ha börjat tillverka ytterligare en variant i fabriken i Jönköping fick problem att göra klart alla ordrar i tid. Fallföretaget monterar elmotorer i sin fabrik.   För att lösa problemet har studenterna valt att använda sig av en kvalitativ metod. En fallstudie på fallföretaget, SEW Eurodrive, har genomförts. Under arbetets gång har studenterna använt sig av intervjuer och observationer för att finna nödvändig information för att föra arbetet framåt.   För att kunna visa företaget hur stationen kan balanseras på ett bättre sätt gjordes observationer. Utifrån de observationer och mätningar som gjorts insåg studenterna att monteringen är uppdelad i tre moment och att det är moment två som tar längst tid. Layoutförslagen som bifogas till rapporten utgår från att det är moment två som är problemet. De bygger till stor del på hur fallföretaget skulle kunna bygga om stationen för att på så sätt frigöra mer kapacitet och förbättra arbetssättet.   Eftersom arbetet är av mer teoretiskt karaktär är det svårt att peka på ett tydligt resultat av den uppställda empirin. Genom att göra en liten ändring i stationens uppbyggnad skulle arbetet kunna flyta på bättre och möjliggöra att flera personer kan arbeta på stationen samtidigt.   Det generella syftet med rapporten begränsas av att en fallstudie har gjorts på ett kundorderstyrt företag. De företag som tillverkar mot lager kan använda sig av dessa metoder, men måste då vara medvetna om skillnaderna mellan ett kundorderstyrt företag och ett företag som tillverkar mot lager. / Examensarbete

Vem äger den svenska vargen? : -en rationell analys av Sveriges försvar av lokal acceptans

Lind, Andreas January 2012 (has links)
När Sverige blev medlem i dåvarande EG 1995 fick det bland annat följden att EU:s fördrag och lagstiftning skulle implementeras och göras gällande i svensk lag. I många fall har detta skett utan större problem men i vissa frågor har det uppstått skiljaktliga meningar om huruvida den svenska lagstiftningen och förvaltningen lever upp till de regler som EU gemensamt fattat beslut om. Denna uppsats tar fasta på detta fenomen, närmare bestämt på hur EU och Sverige under en lång tid inte kunde nå en samsyn om hur den svenska vargstammen skulle förvaltas. Genom att beskriva de förutsättningar som ledde fram till den svenska licensjakten på varg kommer uppsatsen att försöka förklara vilka preferenser den svenska regeringen utgick ifrån när den försvarade sitt beslut att genomdriva licensjakt på varg trots EU-kommissionens protester.
