### How to Collect fraction in Maple 18? [closed]

Suppose I have $$f=\frac x 3+ \frac y 3 +\frac z 3$$ And I want to use collect(f, 1/3) And I wish it will displays $$f=\frac1 3(x+y+z)$$ But it doesn't work....

### Modelling flow through pipe networks

I'm trying to educate myself on modelling solute flows through pipe networks. This is a follow up of my previous post here $$\frac{\partial C}{\partial t} = - v\frac{\partial C}{\partial x}$$ While ...

### How to avoid density getting “deleted” in two way rigid body coupling with LBM CFD?

I've been reading this paper recently, which talks about using Lattice Boltzmann methods and two way coupling. Specifically, it outlines fluid solid coupling, and solid fluid coupling, and how simply ...

### The Formula of Explicit Runge-Kutta Fourteen order

I need an explicit Runge-Kutta 14th order formula. If you know about some reference that discusses at least 10th order (or higher, since I'm looking for the 14th) of Runge-Kutta and there is ...

### How to understand the choice of Krylov subspace orthonormal basis?

This semester, I study the Krylov subspace iterative methods (about Ax=b) using the book H. A. Van der Vorst. Iterative Krylov Methods for Large Linear Systems, volume 13. Cambridge University Press, ...

### Create mesh for complicated 3D object for finite element analysis

I see images of steel connections, concrete dams, and other complicated 3D objects in papers which finite element analysis has been performed on them. My questions are: How these objects are created ...

### Is it possible to resample grid in such a way so that continuous objects remain continuous?

Suppose I rasterize a rectangle of width 2.5 gridpoints and get the values as shown: =============== | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0.5 | 0 | Now I resample that ...

### Strong vs. weak solutions of PDEs

The strong form of a PDE requires that the unknown solution belongs in $H^2$. But the weak form requires only that the unknown solution belongs in $H^1$. How do you reconcile this?

### Necessary information that a toplogical optimisation solver needs to collecte from a pre-processed CAD model

I am developing a solver that gets a CAD model as entry and does the topological optimisation calculation on it. My solver is inspired by the open source codes presented in literature. Since it is ...

### Custom exponents for Lennard Jones in LAMMPS

I am trying to run an MD simulation using this generalized version of Lennard Jones. $$U(r) = \left(\frac{r_0}{r}\right)^A -\frac{A}{B}\left( \frac{r_0}{r} \right)^B$$ However, I do not know how ...

### Amplitude at a given frequency in a wide band signal

Could anyone suggest the most computationally efficient method for finding amplitude at a given frequency having a noisy wide band signal. To be more specific about a task. I have some physical ...

### FVM vs FDM vs Conservative form vs Non conservative form

My question is regarding solving the conservative form and the non-conservative form of the governing-equations (GE), like continuity or the navier stokes equation, using finite difference method (FDM)...

### Finite Element Analysis for Laminated Plates with Holes or Patches

As the title says, I am trying to code in FEM a plate structure that either has a hole in one of the layers or one of the layers is made of patches of plates, rather than one whole plate. However, ...

### Recommendation for a fixed-step ODE solver?

My problem involves the solution of a second-order ODE with a fixed-step (input and output). Specifically, this ODE is the radial part of Dirac and Schrödinger equation for a spherical symmetric ...

### fastest way to compute many small dot products

I have two n-by-3 blocks contiguous in memory ("n vectors of length 3") and I'd like to compute the dot product between each of the rows as fast as possible. In numpy, using ...

### Does the k-th approximate solution of a stationary iteration belong to the k-th Krylov subspace?

For an stationary iteration method solving $Ax=b$ as follows: $$Mx_k = Nx_{k-1}+b,$$ I have known that when $M = I$, i.e., the Richardson iteration, the k-th solution $x_k = x_{k-1}+r_{k-1}$ is in ...

### What is the standard, extrapolation, and modified version of Richardson iteration method?

I have been studying the iterative methods recently. For classical iterative methods solving $Ax=b$, I have seen that the most simplest iteration method is the so-called "Richardson iteration". But I ...

### Options for solving ODE systems on GPUs?

I would like to farm out solving systems of ODEs onto GPUs, in a 'trivially parallelisable' setting. For example, doing a sensitivity analysis with 512 different parameter sets. Ideally I want to do ...
