Polarization-Induced Beam Bending: Mathematical Model, Discretization, and Algorithm

Harbir Antil, Rainald Löhner, Sarswati Shah

We study a reduced hydrodynamic formulation of paraxial vector beam propagation in which the beam intensity, optical phase, and spatially-dependent polarization are coupled through…

Fisher-Information-Based Sensor Placement for Structural Digital Twins: Analytic Results and Benchmarks

Harbir Antil, Animesh Jain, Rainald Löhner

High-fidelity digital twins rely on the accurate assimilation of sensor data into physics-based computational models. In structural applications, such twins aim to identify spatial…

Optimal Boundary Control of Diffusion on Graphs via Linear Programming

Harbir Antil, Rainald Löhner, Felipe Pérez

We propose a linear programming (LP) framework for steady-state diffusion and flux optimization on geometric networks. The state variable satisfies a discrete diffusion law on a we…

On Techniques for Barely Coupled Multiphysics

Rainald Löhner, Harbir Antil, Sebastian Schöps

A technique to combine codes to solve barely coupled multiphysics problems has been developed. Each field is advanced separately until a stop is triggered. This could be due to a p…

Adjoint-based Recovery of Thermal Fields from Displacement or Strain Measurements

Talhah Shamshad Ali Ansari, Rainald Löhner, Roland Wüchner +4

A finite-element method dependant adjoint-based procedure to determine the temperature field of structures based on measured displacements or strains and a set of standard loads is…
