Abstract

Computational Mechanics is the Proceedings of the 2007 International Symposium on Computational Mechanics (ISCM) held July 30-August 1, 2007 in Beijing. The book includes 22 full papers of plenary and semi-plenary lectures, and approximately 150 one-page summaries. This conference is the first of a series that is created by a group of prominent scholars from the Mainland of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese, who are very active in the field. This conference series will be held alternately in the Mainland of China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas countries.

Abstract

This book deals with blow-up, or at least very rapid growth, of a solution to a system of partial differential equations that arise in practical physics situations. It begins with a relatively simple account of blow-up in systems of interaction-diffusion equations. Then the book concentrates on mechanics applications. In particular it deals with the Euler equations, Navier--Stokes equations, models for glacier physics, Korteweg--de-Vries equations, and ferro-hydrodynamics. Blow-up is treated in Volterra equations, too, stressing how these equations arise in mechanics, e.g. in combustion theory. The novel topic of chemotaxis in mathematical biology is also presented. There is a chapter on change of type, from hyperbolic to elliptic, addressing three new and important applications: instability in soils, instability in sea ice dynamics, and also instability in pressure-dependent viscosity flow. Finally, the book includes an exposition of exciting work, very recent and on-going, dealing with rapid energy growth in parallel shear flows. The book addresses graduate students as well as researchers in mechanics and applied mathematics.

Abstract

Many features in the behaviour of structures, materials and flows are caused by phenomena that occur at one to several scales below common levels of observation. Multiscale methods account for this scale dependence: They either derive properties at the level of observation by repeated numerical homogenization of more fundamental physical properties defined several scales below (upscaling), or they devise concurrent schemes where those parts of the domain that are of interest are computed with a higher resolution than parts that are of less interest or where the solution is varying only slowly. This work is a result of a sustained German-Dutch cooperation and written by internationally leading experts in the field and gives a modern, up-to-date account of recent developments in computational multiscale mechanics. Both upscaling and concurrent computing methodologies are addressed for a range of application areas in computational solid and fluid mechanics: Scale transitions in materials, turbulence in fluid-structure interaction problems, multiscale/multilevel optimization, multiscale poromechanics.
