Development of a Preconditioning Scheme for Real Gases using Asymptotic Expansions
(2022)
Bei der Beschreibung von Strömungen wird klassischerweise zwischen inkompressiblen und kompressiblen Bereichen unterschieden. Während inkompressible Strömungen durch ein divergenzfreies Geschwindigkeitsfeld charakterisiert werden, sind kompressible Strömungsfelder durch Expansionsfächer, Kontaktunstetigkeiten und Stoßwellen gekennzeichnet. Die beiden Bereiche werden damit durch stark unterschiedliche Systeme partieller Differentialgleichungen beschrieben. Diese Unterscheidung zeigt sich auch in der numerischen ...

Optimal control of a rate-independent system constrained to parameterized balanced viscosity solutions
(2022)
In this dissertation, we analyze an optimal control problem governed by a rate-independent system in an abstract infinite-dimensional setting. The rate-independent system is characterized by a nonconvex stored energy functional, which depends on time via a time-dependent external loading, and by a convex dissipation potential, which is assumed to be bounded and positively homogeneous of degree one.
The optimal control problem uses the external load as control variable and is constrained to normalized ...

Finite Element Simulations for the Design of Therapeutic Approaches for Retinal Diseases
(2022)
The retinal disease age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of vision loss in industrialized countries. In this thesis, motivated by the drug (antibody) treatment of this disease, we designed long-term three dimensional Finite Element simulations of the drug distribution in the healthy human eye. The underlying model consists of a time-dependent convection-diffusion equation coupled to a stationary Darcy equation describing the flow of the aqueous humor through the vitreous medium. We replaced the ...
