Article
Open AccessWe propose a C0 Interior Penalty Method (C0-IPM) for the computational modelling of flexoelectricity, with application also to strain gradient elasticity, as a simplified case. Standard high-order C0 finite element ... -
A Cellular Automata Model for Integrated Simulation of Land Use and Transport Interactions
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-03-08)
Article
Open AccessCellular automata (CA) models have been used in urban studies for dealing with land use change. Transport and accessibility are arguably the main drivers of urban change and have a direct influence on land use. Land use ... -
A comparative study of two compact finite difference methods: standard vs. mimetic
(Sociedad Venezolana de Métodos Numéricos en Ingeniería, 2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work, we implement two fourth-order compact finite differences (CFD) methods and use them to model wave propagation on a elastic string. The formulation of the first method employs the standard implicit CFD constructed ... -
