1. Computation of Acoustic Wave Propagation Under Water
University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)Abstract : In this thesis we look at acoustic wave propagation under water. We look in particular at waves generated by a point source and what happens with the propagation when we model the bottom as flat or as curvilinear. We assume the source to be working at a certain frequency and therefore we model this problem by solving the Helmholtz equation. READ MORE

2. Numerical solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations : Finite difference solutions in curvilinear coordinates
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskapAbstract : A finite difference scheme for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in 2-dimensionalcurvilinear coordinates is derived. The scheme uses high-order Summation-By-Parts operatorsand boundaries are handled by the Projection method. READ MORE

3. A High Order Finite Difference Method for Simulating Earthquake Sequences in a Poroelastic Medium
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskapAbstract : Induced seismicity (earthquakes caused by injection or extraction of fluids in Earth's subsurface) is a major, new hazard in the United States, the Netherlands, and other countries, with vast economic consequences if not properly managed. Addressing this problem requires development of predictive simulations of how fluid-saturated solids containing frictional faults respond to fluid injection/extraction. READ MORE
