Mittal, A. (author)The project focuses on developing a simulator in which ships and waves interact. The new wave model is the Variational Boussinesq model (VBM). However, this new realistic model brings much more computation effort with it. The VBM mainly requires an unsteady state solver, that solves a coupled system of equations at each frame (20 fps) . The...master thesis 2014

Zimmerling, J.T. (author)Simulating electromagnetic or acoustic wave propagation in complex open structures is extremely important in many areas of science and engineering. In a wide range of applications, ranging from photonics and plasmonics to seismic exploration, efficient wave field solvers are required in various design and optimization frameworks. In this thesis,...master thesis 2014

Torres Tapia, P.I. (author)In this thesis, three novel state-space identification algorithms for linear interconnected systems are proposed. The computational complexity and the topology reconstruction of the interconnected system are addressed. Possible applications of this theory can be found in Biology, Economics, Transportation, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering....doctoral thesis 2014

Tene, M. (author)The oil industry is at the backbone of global economy and, as natural resources are becoming scarce, there is a pressing need for efficient extraction strategies. This has led to the development of reservoir models and simulators, able to predict future field behaviour, when paired with accurate geological information. However, the data obtained...master thesis 2013

He, X. (author), Neytcheva, M. (author), Vuik, C. (author)This paper deals with fast and reliable numerical solution methods for the incompressible non-Newtonian Navier-Stokes equations. To handle the nonlinearity of the governing equations, the Picard and Newton methods are used to linearize these coupled partial differential equations. For space discretization we use the finite element method and...report 2013

Diao, H. (author)This thesis attempts to explain the convergence behaviour of solving Helmholtz problem by investigating its spectral properties. Fourier analysis is employ to solve the eigenvalues of the matrices that are involved in the iterative methods. The numerical experiment is conducted to verify the conclusions by Fourier analysis and also to reveal...master thesis 2012

Sonneveld, P. (author)An explanation is given of the convergence behavior of IDR(s) methods. The convergence mechanism of these algorithms has two components. The first consists of damping properties of certain factors in the residual polynomials, which becomes less important for large values of s. The second component depends on the behavior of Lanczos polynomials...journal article 2012

Van Gijzen, M.B. (author), Sleijpen, G.L.G. (author), Zemke, J.P. (author)We give two important generalizations of the Induced Dimension Reduction (IDR) approach for the solution of linear systems. We derive a flexible and a multi-shift Quasi-Minimal Residual IDR (QMRIDR) variant. Numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of these new IDR variants compared to existing ones and to other Krylov subspace...report 2011

Houtzager, I. (author)Further developments in data-driven control techniques for the load reduction of modern wind turbines can achieve an increased lifetime of components and make the scaling to larger rotor diameters possible, and therefore improve the cost effectiveness of modern wind turbines. Also the success of future rotor designs will heavily depend for their...doctoral thesis 2011

Balini, H.M.N.K. (author)In this thesis we look at the application of advanced systems theoretic algorithms for an experimental Active Magnetic Bearing System (AMB). These systems are inherently unstable and therefore require a feedback controller. Accurate modeling of these systems with input-output data is hindered due to the strong correlation between the inputs and...doctoral thesis 2011

Mouri Sardarabadi, A. (author)Many techniques for array processing assume either that the system has a calibrated array or that the noise covariance matrix is known. If the noise covariance matrix is unknown, training or other calibration techniques are used to find it. In this thesis another approach to the problem of unknown noise covariance is presented. The factor...master thesis 2011

Song, H. (author)Adaptive optics (AO), also called as Smart Optics, has received increasing attention in the past decades. The main idea behind AO is to actively sense and compensate the optical aberration in the system such that the image resolution is improved or the light beam is well focused. The applications of AO include ground-based telescopes, scanning...doctoral thesis 2011

Van Gijzen, M.B. (author), Sonneveld, P. (author)The IDR(s) method that is proposed in [18] is a very efficient limited memory method for solving large nonsymmetric systems of linear equations. IDR(s) is based on the induced dimension reduction theorem, that provides a way to construct subsequent residuals that lie in a sequence of shrinking subspaces. The IDR(s) algorithm that is given in [18...report 2010

Balidemaj, E. (author)In this thesis we present a Krylov subspace technique and use residual minimization to efficiently solve parametric electromagnetic inversion problems. We exploit the shift-invariance property of Krylov subspaces to compute total fields inside a homogeneous object for a whole range of contrast values. As soon as these fields are found, we can...master thesis 2010
