### turbulant flow modeling [closed]

I have been trying to model the flow in a very thin channel using COMSOL Multyphysics. The laminar flow module does not converge no matter how I change the meshes, or use ramping loads and such. The k-...

### Duplicate Surface Meshes in different Gmsh files

My objective is to get a conformal surface mesh between two geometries meshed independently in different files. By example, I can start with a simple cube in one .geo file and mesh this geometry. ...

### How is the D value being updated at simple RRT algorithm?

I am studying the following lecture (image) regarding 5 iterations of the simple RRT algorithm. I am trying to understand how each value is being updated regarding each iteration. I have figured out ...

### BLAS operation question

I want to perform the following operation: $$A = A + U B^T$$ where $A$ is $m \times n$ dense, $U$ is $m \times m$ upper triangular, and $B$ is $n \times m$ dense. The BLAS function ...

### Is it more efficient to capture many constraints in one constraint?

I have a number of variables that need to be set to 0. They are positive real numbers so the way I see it I can do this by setting each one to 0 by separate constraints, or I can set their sum to zero....

### Numerical evaluation of a Gaussian Integral in Python?

Goal I'm trying to write code to compute the normalized Gaussian in the following,  \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{1}{ \sigma \sqrt{2 \pi}} \exp\bigg( - \frac{(x - \mu)^{2}}{2 \...

### In iterative methods, are matrix decompositions considered useful for implementation?

When we study an iterative method from textbooks, for example, see the Gauss-Seidel Method, the given matrix is decomposed with suitable splittings. In the example, $A = L+U$. So we can proceed with ...

### How to use Wolfe-Powell step-size control in quasi-Newton method?

I'm trying to find the minimum of a function using the quasi-Newton method with the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm. But I want to change the following implementation, so that: 1) ...
