Energy-norm-based and goal-oriented automatic hp adaptivity for electromagnetics: Application to waveguide Discontinuities
(IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 2008-12-31)The finite-element method (FEM) enables the use of adapted meshes. The simultaneous combination of h (local variations in element size) and p (local variations in the polynomial order of approximation) refinements, i.e., ... -
Simulation of DC dual-laterolog measurements in complex formations: A Fourier-series approach with nonorthogonal coordinates and self-adapting finite elements
(Geophysics, 2009-12-31)Dual laterolog (DLL) makes use of a galvanic conduction principle to focus electrical currents into rock formations, thereby minimizing shoulder and borehole effects in the measurement of formation resistivity. The tool ... -
Performance of a multi-frontal parallel direct solver for hp-finite element method
