An explicitly-sparse representation for oscillatory kernels with wave atom-like functions

Yanchuang Cao, Jun Liu, Dawei Chen

Summary: This work presents an explicitly-sparse representation for oscillatory kernels. It develops a wave atom based method to construct multilevel wave atom-like functions as a transform of the original nodal basis. The resulting system matrix is explicitly-sparse and computed explicitly, with further enhancement of sparsity via a-posteriori compression. Numerical results demonstrate the log-linear computational complexity with controllable accuracy. This representation is expected to lay ground to future work related to fast direct solvers and effective preconditioners for high frequency problems.

Data-driven reduced-order modelling for blood flow simulations with geometry-informed snapshots

Dongwei Ye, Valeria Krzhizhanovskaya, Alfons G. Hoekstra

Summary: This work presents a data-driven surrogate model for efficient prediction of blood flow simulations on similar but distinct domains. The proposed model utilizes group surface registration to parameterize shapes and uses geometry information for hemodynamics prediction. The results demonstrate that the surrogate model has accuracy and efficiency in hemodynamics prediction and can be applied to real-time simulation and uncertainty quantification for complex patient-specific scenarios.

Clemens Willers, Oliver Kamps

Summary: Modeling non-Markovian time series using the generalized Langevin equation (GLE) and Bayesian estimation is a promising approach in various fields. This study presents an efficient implementation of Bayesian estimation for GLE by using a piecewise constant approximation of the model's drift and diffusion functions. This method reduces the numerical cost and allows for the consideration of trend effects. The capabilities of the method and model are illustrated using an example from turbulence.

A barrier method for contact avoiding particles in Stokes flow

Anna Broms, Anna-Karin Tornberg

Summary: Rigid particles in a Stokesian fluid can experience strong lubrication resistance as particle gaps narrow. However, resolving these lubrication forces numerically can be computationally expensive and may lead to artificial particle collisions and overlaps. In this work, a barrier energy is used to efficiently represent non-overlap constraints between particles. By enforcing a zero barrier energy at the next time level, the method corrects for overlaps and obtains collision-free configurations. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated in solving the mobility problem in Stokes flow and examining the collective order of particles in a background flow.

Exponential Runge-Kutta Parareal for non-diffusive equations

Tommaso Buvoli, Michael Minion

Summary: Parareal is a parallel-in-time algorithm that combines a coarse and fine propagator within a parallel iteration, leading to significantly reduced computational time compared to serial time-stepping methods. This paper explores the use of exponential integrators within the Parareal iteration to solve non-diffusive equations. Numerical experiments and linear analysis are conducted to evaluate the stability and convergence properties of the exponential Parareal iteration. Results demonstrate that the exponential Parareal methods offer improved time-to-solution compared to serial exponential integrators for certain non-diffusive equations.

Summary: This paper discusses the discontinuity in collisions and its impact on numerical approaches. By handling the derivative of collision time, the paper allows for the smooth transition between collision and non-collision states, improving the reliability of numerical methods. Additionally, the paper points out the limitations of standard approaches in addressing this issue, mostly due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of the mathematical nature of the problem.
