Van Wijngaarden, W.K. (author), Van Paassen, L.A. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), Van Meurs, G.A.M. (author), Vuik, C. (author)Biogrout is a method for reinforcement of granular soil. In the Biogrout process, calcium carbonate is produced. This solid connects the grains, and therefore the strength of the soil is increased. The calcium carbonate is formed with the use of micro-organisms. Experiments and numerical simulations have been performed to demonstrate the process...journal article 2015

(author)A computational algorithm to study the evolution of complex wound morphologies is developed based on a model of wound closure by cell mitosis and migration due to Adam [Math Comput Model 30(5–6):23–32, 1999]. A detailed analysis of the model provides estimated values for the incubation and healing times. Furthermore, a set of inequalities are...journal article 2008

Application of the numerical density-enthalpy method to the multi-phase flow through a porous mediumIbrahim, D. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), Vuik, C. (author)In this paper we apply a new method to solve multi-phase fluid flow problem for 1D1D and 2D2D fluid systems. This method is developed at TNO and presented in [1] for spatially homogeneous systems. We call this method the numerical density-enthalpy method (or ??-hh method) because density-enthalpy phase diagrams (or ??-hh diagrams) play an...journal article 2010

Van Slingerland, P. (author), Ryan, J.K. (author), Vuik, C. (author)Position-dependent smoothness-increasing accuracy-conserving (SIAC) filtering is a promising technique not only in improving the order of the numerical solution obtained by a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method but also in increasing the smoothness of the field and improving the magnitude of the errors. This was initially established as an...journal article 2011

Knibbe, H. (author), Vuik, C. (author), Oosterlee, C.W. (author)In geophysical applications, the interest in least-squares migration (LSM) as an imaging algorithm is increasing due to the demand for more accurate solutions and the development of high-performance computing. The computational engine of LSM in this work is the numerical solution of the 3D Helmholtz equation in the frequency domain. The...journal article 2015

Riyanti, C.D. (author), Erlangga, Y.A. (author), Plessix, R.E. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author), Vuik, C. (author), Oosterlee, C. (author)The time-harmonic wave equation, also known as the Helmholtz equation, is obtained if the constant-density acoustic wave equation is transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain. Its discretization results in a large, sparse, linear system of equations. In two dimensions, this system can be solved efficiently by a direct method. In...journal article 2006

Tang, J.M. (author), Nabben, R. (author), Vuik, C. (author), Erlangga, Y.A. (author)For various applications, it is well-known that a multi-level, in particular two-level, preconditioned CG (PCG) method is an efficient method for solving large and sparse linear systems with a coefficient matrix that is symmetric positive definite. The corresponding two-level preconditioner combines traditional and projection-type...journal article 2009

Lahaye, D.J.P. (author), Vuik, C. (author)Networks for the high-voltage distribution of electrical energy are currently undergoing farreaching developments. National power grids are evolving fromstatic entities, producingmainly a uni-directional flow from generation to loads, to more dynamic and decentralized structures. These emerging power systems should accommodate the local...journal article 2015

Tang, J.M. (author), MacLachlan, S.P. (author), Nabben, R. (author), Vuik, C. (author)It is well known that two-level and multilevel preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) methods provide efficient techniques for solving large and sparse linear systems whose coefficient matrices are symmetric and positive definite. A two-level PCG method combines a traditional (one-level) preconditioner, such as incomplete Cholesky, with a...journal article 2010

Jönsthövel, T.B. (author), Van Gijzen, M.B. (author), Vuik, C. (author), Scarpas, A. (author)Large discontinuities in material properties, such as those encountered in composite materials, lead to ill-conditioned systems of linear equations. These discontinuities give rise to small eigenvalues that may negatively affect the convergence of iterative solution methods such as the preconditioned conjugate gradient method. This paper...journal article 2013

Van Wijngaarden-van Rossum, W.K. (author), Van Paassen, L.A. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), Van Meurs, G.A.M. (author), Vuik, C. (author)Biogrout is a method to strengthen granular soil, which is based on microbial-induced carbonate precipitation. To model the Biogrout process, a reactive transport model is used. Since high flow rates are undesirable for the Biogrout process, the model equations can be solved with a standard Galerkin finite element method. The Biogrout process...journal article 2016

Vuik, M.J. (author), Ryan, J.K. (author)In Vuik and Ryan [J. Comput. Phys., 270 (2014), pp. 138--160] we studied the use of troubled-cell indicators for discontinuity detection in nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations and introduced a new multiwavelet technique to detect troubled cells. We found that these methods perform well as long as a suitable, problem-dependent...journal article 2016

(author)Biogrout is a new method for soil reinforcement, which is based on microbialinduced carbonate precipitation. Bacteria and reactants are flushed through the soil, resulting in calcium carbonate precipitation and consequent soil reinforcement. Bacteria are crucially important in the Biogrout process since they catalyse the reaction. Hence, to...journal article 2012

Core-annular flow through a horizontal pipe: Hydrodynamic counterbalancing of buoyancy force on coreOoms, G. (author), Vuik, C. (author), Poesio, P. (author)A theoretical investigation has been made of core-annular flow: the flow of a high-viscosity liquid core surrounded by a low-viscosity liquid annular layer through a horizontal pipe. Special attention is paid to the question of how the buoyancy force on the core, caused by a density difference between the core and the annular layer, is...journal article 2007

Van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author), Van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Vuik, C. (author)We propose and analyze a generic multi-class kinematic wave traffic flow model: Fastlane. The model takes into account heterogeneity among driver-vehicle units with respect to speed and space occupancy: long vehicles with large headways (e.g. trucks) take more space than short vehicles with short headways (e.g. passenger cars). Moreover, and...journal article 2014

Van 't Wout, E. (author), Van Gijzen, M.B. (author), Ditzel, A. (author), Van der Ploeg, A. (author), Vuik, C. (author)Ship simulators are used for training purposes and therefore have to calculate realistic wave patterns around the moving ship in real time. We consider a wave model that is based on the variational Boussinesq formulation, which results in a set of partial differential equations. Discretization of these equations gives a large system of linear...journal article 2010

Knibbe, H.P. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author), Oosterlee, C.W. (author), Vuik, C. (author)Three-dimensional reverse-time migration with the constant-density acoustic wave equation requires an efficient numerical scheme for the computation of wavefields. An explicit finite-difference scheme in the time domain is a common choice. However, it requires a significant amount of disk space for the imaging condition.
