Truncation preconditioners for stochastic Galerkin finite element discretizations

Alex Bespalov, Daniel Loghin, Rawin Youngnoi

Stochastic Galerkin finite element method (SGFEM) provides an efficient alternative to traditional sampling methods for the numerical solution of linear elliptic partial differenti…

Diffusion in arrays of obstacles: beyond homogenisation

Yahya Farah, Daniel Loghin, Alexandra Tzella +1

We revisit the classical problem of diffusion of a scalar (or heat) released in a two-dimensional medium with an embedded periodic array of impermeable obstacles such as perforatio…

Constraint interface preconditioning for topology optimization problems

Michal Kocvara, Daniel Loghin, James Turner

The discretization of constrained nonlinear optimization problems arising in the field of topology optimization yields algebraic systems which are challenging to solve in practice,…

Parallel Solution of the Linear Elasticity problem with Applications in Topology Optimization

James Turner, Michal Kocvara, Daniel Loghin

In this paper, we aim to solve the system of equations governing linear elasticity in parallel using domain decomposition. Through a non-overlapping decomposition of the domain, ou…

Modelling the Fluid Mechanics of Cilia and Flagella in Reproduction and Development

Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, Andrew A. Smith, David J. Smith +2

Cilia and flagella are actively bending slender organelles, performing functions such as motility, feeding and embryonic symmetry breaking. We review the mechanics of viscous-domin…

Physics of Rheologically-Enhanced Propulsion: Different Strokes in Generalized Stokes

Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, Daniel Loghin, David J. Smith

Shear-thinning is an important rheological property of many biological fluids, such as mucus, whereby the apparent viscosity of the fluid decreases with shear. Certain microscopic…
