Analysis of the measured data of sediment nourishments in the Rhine River

Sediment nourishments have become an attractive alternative to hard measures in counteracting long-term river bed degradation. Due to the large degree of uncertainty concerning mixed sediment morphodynamics, river authorities conduct field studies to collect data that will help in the calibration of morphological models, eventually used to...

Reducing Communication in AMG for Reservoir Simulation: Aggressive Coarsening and Non-Galerkin Coarse-Grid Operators

Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) is an efficient multigrid method for solving large problems, using only the information provided by the underlying matrices. Unfortunately, on a parallel machine the performance of AMG can be negatively affected by dense communication patterns. The exchange of extensive data sets is generally caused by a high number of...
