TLDR
In this article, a spectral element method was proposed for numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, where the computational domain is broken into a series of elements, and the velocity in each element is represented as a highorder Lagrangian interpolant through Chebyshev collocation points.

Performance and Scalability of Finite Element Analysis for Distributed Parallel Computation

TL;DR: A two-dimensional (h, p) finite element scheme for distributed parallel computation is developed based on an element-by-element domain decomposition and is implemented on the nCUBE2 system.

TL;DR: This thesis presents a model that estimates the time duration of routes formed by several intermediate nodes in mobile ad-hoc networks and shows that the timeduration of a route formed by N intermediate nodes can be accurately computed by considering the minimum route duration of a set of N routes of 3 nodes each.

Weak-inertial flow between two rough surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, an asymptotic formulation of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is developed to study the influence of weak inertia on flows between rough surfaces, and the impact of the first correction on macroscopic flow due to inertia has been determined by solving these equations numerically.
