A one-dimensional model for aspiration in blood vessels

This work introduces a reduced one-dimensional model for aspiration in blood vessels that accounts for the elasticity of both the vessel wall and the catheter. The inclusion of vessel wall viscoelasticity transforms the governing equation for the …

Mechanistic insights and treatment optimization in ischemic stroke: A mini-review of computational approaches

Stroke remains a leading cause of global mortality and disability, affecting millions of individuals annually. Computational modeling quantifies the complex pathophysiology of an ischemic stroke, paving the way for personalized therapeutic …

Discontinuous Galerkin schemes for multi-dimensional coupled hyperbolic systems

A novel class of Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin schemes for coupled systems of conservation laws in multiple space dimensions that are separated by a fixed sharp interface is introduced. The schemes are derived from a relaxation approach and a …

A relaxation approach to the coupling of a two-phase fluid with a linear-elastic solid

A recently introduced coupling strategy for two nonconservative hyperbolic systems is employed to investigate a collapsing vapor bubble embedded in a liquid near a solid. For this purpose, an elastic solid modeled by a linear system of conservation …

The Lax-Friedrichs method in one-dimensional hemodynamics and its simplifying effect on boundary and coupling conditions

The discretization of reduced one-dimensional hyperbolic models of blood flow using the Lax–Friedrichs method is discussed. Deriving the well-established scheme from a relaxation approach leads to new simplified boundary and coupling conditions in …

Error Estimates for First- and Second-Order Lagrange-Galerkin Moving Mesh Schemes for the One-Dimensional Convection-Diffusion Equation

A new moving mesh scheme based on the Lagrange-Galerkin method for the approximation of the one-dimensional convection-diffusion equation is studied. The mesh movement, which is prescribed by a discretized dynamical system for the nodal points, …

Numerical schemes for coupled systems of nonconservative hyperbolic equations

A new linear relaxation system for nonconservative hyperbolic systems is introduced, in which a nonlocal source term accounts for the nonconservative product of the original system. Using an asymptotic analysis the relaxation limit and its stability …

A posteriori error analysis of a positivity preserving scheme for the power-law diffusion Keller-Segel model

We study a finite volume scheme approximating a parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system with power law diffusion with exponent γ∈[1,3] and periodic boundary conditions. We derive conditional a posteriori bounds for the error measured in the …

A data-driven microscopic on-ramp model based on macroscopic network flows

While macroscopic traffic flow models adopt a fluid dynamic description of traffic, microscopic traffic flow models describe the dynamics of individual vehicles. Capturing macroscopic traffic phenomena accurately remains a challenge for microscopic …

A central scheme for two coupled hyperbolic systems

A novel numerical scheme to solve coupled systems of conservation laws is introduced. The scheme is derived based on a relaxation approach and does not require information on the Lax curves of the coupled systems, which simplifies the computation of …
