Algebraic Multigrid with Filtering: An Efficient Preconditioner for Interior Point Methods in Large-Scale Contact Mechanics Optimization
Socratis Petrides, Tucker Hartland, Tzanio Kolev +6
Large-scale contact mechanics simulations are crucial in many engineering fields such as structural design and manufacturing. In the frictionless case, contact can be modeled by mi…
High-Order Mesh r-Adaptivity with Tangential Relaxation and Guaranteed Mesh Validity
Ketan Mittal, Veselin Dobrev, Tzanio Kolev +1
High-order meshes are crucial for achieving optimal convergence rates in curvilinear domains, preserving symmetry, and aligning with key flow features in moving mesh simulations, b…
PDE-Constrained High-Order Mesh Optimization
Tzanio Kolev, Boyan Lazarov, Ketan Mittal +2
We present a novel framework for PDE-constrained -adaptivity of high-order meshes. The proposed method formulates mesh movement as an optimization problem, with an objective fun…
An adaptive Newton-based free-boundary Grad-Shafranov solver
Daniel A. Serino, Qi Tang, Xian-Zhu Tang +2
Equilibria in magnetic confinement devices result from force balancing between the Lorentz force and the plasma pressure gradient. In an axisymmetric configuration like a tokamak,…
Scalable Analysis and Design Using Automatic Differentiation
Julian Andrej, Tzanio Kolev, Boyan Lazarov
This article aims to demonstrate and discuss the applications of automatic differentiation (AD) for finding derivatives in PDE-constrained optimization problems and Jacobians in no…
A method for bounding high-order finite element functions: Applications to mesh validity and bounds-preserving limiters
Tarik Dzanic, Tzanio Kolev, Ketan Mittal
We introduce a novel method for bounding high-order multi-dimensional polynomials in finite element approximations. The method involves precomputing optimal piecewise-linear boundi…
