In this thesis we implement a numerical model of heat transfer in geothermal reservoirs. We use existing pressure and flow transport solvers as a starting point to investigate discretization techniques for a convection-conduction ...

In this thesis, I first present the grassland birds data from Wells(2007) which is used by several different methods of estimating the nest survival rates. The hierarchical Bayesian method from Cao(2009) then is introduced ...

Phase-field approaches to fracture based on energy minimization principles have been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years, and are particularly well-suited for simulating crack initiation and growth in complex fracture ...

In this work, we consider a non-linear extension of the linear, quasi-static Biot’s model. Precisely, we assume that the volumetric strain and the fluid compressibility are non-linear functions. We propose a fully discrete ...

We introduce horizontal holonomy groups, which are groups defined using parallel transport only along curves tangent to a given subbundle D of the tangent bundle. We provide explicit means of computing these holonomy groups ...

Background: Minke whales are separated into two genetically distinct species: the Antarctic minke whale found in the southern hemisphere, and the common minke whale which is cosmopolitan. The common minke whale is further ...

Matematikkundervisning i Noreg følgjer stort sett same didaktiske kontrakt. Korleis opplever elevar med full fordjuping i faget eit brot på denne kontrakten? Studia baserer seg på to teoretiske fundament: Det teoretiske ...

In the first part of the study, the weak asymptotic method is used to find singular solutions of the shallow water system in both one and two space dimensions. The singular solutions so constructed are allowed to contain ...
