An adaptive finite element method for modeling salt diapirism | Abstract | | Various types of oil traps have been found to be associated with salt domes in sub-surface geology. In this paper the diapiric rise of light salt layers through a denser overburden -the surrounding rocks- is modeled assuming that, in a geological time scale, salt and rocks layers behave like Newtonian fluids. a Lagrangian approach is adopted to track the interface between layers, within the framework of a finite element space discretization. An accurate description of large deformations due to salt movement is achieved using a grid adaptation technique based on geometrical refinement. Different geological cases have been simulated in order to describe the behaviour of rocks and estimate the effect on diapiric growth of buoyancy force, differential loading, gravitational gliding and thin-skinned regional extension. Our computational model accounts also for sedimentation and compaction of overburden. |

Adaptive Modeling for free-surface flowm | Abstract | | This work represents a first step towards the adaptive simulation of the motion of water in a complex hydrodynamic configuration, such as a channel network or a river delta by means of different mathematical models. A wide spectrum of space and time scales is involved due to the presence of physical phenomena of different nature. Ideally, moving from a hierarchy of hydrodynamic models, one should solve the most complex model (with solution u_fine) to accurately describe all the physical features of the problems at hand. In more detail, for a user-defined output functional F, we aim to approximate, within a prescribed tolerance (), the value F (u_fine) by means of the quantity F (u_adapted), u_adapted being the adapted solution confining the most complex model only on a restricted region of the computational domain. We aim to provide an efficient tool able to automatically select regions of the domain where to solve the coarse hydrodynamic model rather than the finer one, while guaranteeing |F(u_fine)F (u_adapted)| below the tolerance (). This goal is achieved via a suitable a posteriori modeling error analysis developed in the framework of a goal-oriented theory. We extend the dual-based approach provided in [3] for steady equations to the case of a generic time-dependent problem. Then this analysis is particularized to the case of free-surface flows. In the last part of the paper an exhaustive numerical validation is carried out, while emphasizing the crucial matter of the time discretization for the dual problem. |

A domain decomposition framework for fluid-structure interaction problems | Abstract | | In this note we review some classical algorithms for fluid-structure interaction problems and we propose an alternative viewpoint mutuated from the domain decomposition theory. This approach yields preconditioned Richardson iteractions on the Steklov-Poincaré nonlinear equation at the fluid-structure interface. |

The swiss-carpet domain decomposition preconditioner | Abstract | | In this paper we consider domain decomposition preconditioners based on a vertex-oriented decomposition of the computational domain. In element-oriented (EO) decompositions, each element of the grid belongs to a different domain, while in vertex-oriented (VO) decompositions each vertex belongs to a different subdomain. Based on VO decompositions, we present several preconditioners for the solution of the original (unreduced) system, as well as for that of the Schur complement system. Theoretical properties are investigated for a finite element approximation of a scalar problem. Numerical results and comparison with state-of-art preconditioners are also reported. The numerical results here presented show the effectiveness of the proposed preconditioners and their good parallel properties. |

Shape Design in Aorto-Coronaric Bypass Anastomoses using Perturbation Theory | Abstract | | In this paper we present a new approach in the study of Aorto-Coronaric bypass anastomoses configurations based on small perturbation theory. The theory of optimal control based on adjoint formulation is applied in order to optimize the shape of the zone of the incoming branch of the bypass (the toe) into the coronary (see Figure (1)). The aim is to provide design indications in the perspective of future development for prosthetic bypasses. |
