Oberseminar at the Martin-Luther-Universität

I am out of office the first half of the next week. I will give a talk on "Numerische Zeit­integrations­verfahren für gekoppelte Feld- und Netzwerk­probleme" in the Oberseminar Numerische Mathematik of the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg on December, 6.

Seminar Computational Magnetics

Eddy Currents

This term the chair of Applied Mathematics offers a seminar on Computational Magnetics. The aim is to understand scientific computing by improving our in-house magnetoquasistatic simulation package ‘FIDES‘.

All the typical tasks of applied mathematics will be covered: modeling, software design, coding, testing, simulation und visualization. This course follows up the lecture from 2010.

DMV Tagung, Köln

Auf der Tagung des deustchen Mathematikerverbandes habe ich einen Vortrag zum “Mehrskalenverfahren für die Feld- und Netzwerkkopplung” gehalten: es wurden vor allem Mehrskalenverfahren in der Zeit für die schwachgekoppelte Simulation von räumlichverteilten elektromagnetischen Bauteilen mit elektrischen Netzwerken besprochen.

Octave 3.4.2 on openSUSE 11.4

Finally, the science repository for openSUSE comes with a recent Octave version that supports UMFPACK. Add the corresponding repository

sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ opensuse:science

and install the package

sudo zypper in octave

You verify that UMFPACK works by the following computation

A=sprandsym(1000,0.01)+eye(1000);b=rand(1000,1);norm(A*(A\b)-b)

which solves a linear system with a sparse symmetric positive definite system matrix A and prints the residual to the console.

Promotion

I successfully defended my doctorate on “Multiscale Modeling and Multirate Time-Integration of Field/Circuit Coupled Problems” last Friday.

Update: The thesis is published in the subseries on electromagnetism of the Fortschritt-Berichte VDI and on the e-publication server of the Bergische Universität Wuppertal.

Seminar Talk: Higher Order Cosimulation

I give a seminar talk on Tuesday, 14 Dec 2010, 11:00-12:00 at K.U.Leuven, Dep. Computer Science, Celestijnenlaan 200A, lecture room 05.001.

Relaunch of www-num

AMNA LogoThe website of my working group at Wuppertal has been relaunched last week:

http://www-num.math.uni-wuppertal.de

Besides the new design we added brief descriptions of our research topics. For example I am involved in dynamic iteration, index analysis and multirate time-integration with applications in coupled electric network and electromagnetic field problems.

Visiting Leuven

During September I will be out of office (Wuppertal). I will be a guest at the Wave Propagation and Signal Processing Research Group of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Kortrijk, thanks to my DAAD grant.

Master-Thesis

This is my thesis on computational electromagnetics, from the abstract:

3D Transformer ModelElectric circuits contain devices that exhibit multi-physical effects. We may think of electric or magnetic, but also thermal effects. Traditionally these devices are idealized and only one effect is considered, while the others are disregarded. This yields simple laws that mathematically express their transient behaviour, but does not conform to reality. So sometimes these models are not accurate enough and one wants to simulate a particular device with a refined model. We shall present such a refined modelling approach for electromagnetic devices in this treatise.
