    Reduced order modeling for data assimilation

    Beschreibung

    One of the bottlenecks of current procedures for the generation and distribution of green (wind or solar) energy is the accurate and timely simulation of processes in the ocean and atmosphere that can be used in short term planning and real time control of energy systems. A particular difficulty is the real time construction of physically plausible model initializations and 'controls/inputs' to bring simulations into coherence with available observations when observation locations and observations are coming in at variable times and locations.

    The currently best approach for fixed observation times and locations are variational data assimilation techniques. These methods use a four dimensional model that is adapted to the incoming observations using a combination of different filtering techniques and numerical integration of the dynamical system. In order to make these methods efficient in real time data assimilation they have to be combined with appropriate model order reduction methods. A major difficulty in these techniques is the combination of approximate transfer functions and approximate initial and boundary conditions as well as the construction of guaranteed error estimates and the capturing of essential features of the original model. The so-called representer approach formulates the data assimilation problem as the numerical solution of a large-scale nonlinear optimal control problem and incorporates the assimilation of the model to the observations, via an extended ensemble Kalman filter, and the adaptation of the initial data in one approach. Adding further assumptions and linearization this optimization problem usually reduces to a linear quadratic optimal control problem which is solved via the solution of a boundary value problem with Hamiltonian structure.

    In the field of sustainable energies, microbial cell factories such as yeasts and cyanobacteria are receiving increasing interest due to their potential to produce biofuels. A major question is how the metabolism of these microorganisms is coordinated in a dynamic environment such that the correct macromolecules are synthesized at the right time in order to enable growth and survival. Recent mathematical modeling approaches have made it possible to study this problem using an optimal dynamic resource allocation formalism such as dynamic enzyme-cost flux balance analysis (deFBA). The goal of this project is to study the mathematical properties properties of the underlying optimal control problem involving differential-algebraic constraints and to develop efficient numerical solution strategies.

    Beschreibung

    Organic materials lead to innovative electronic components with fine-tuned properties and promise more sustainable, eco-friendly electronic technologies. The potential for greater sustainability extends across the entire life cycle of organic electronics, beginning with the use of materials that are synthesized rather than mined from the earth, over low temperature production of devices, and ending with potentially biodegradable or recyclable devices. The aim of the project is to develop a thermodynamically correct energy-drift-diffusion model for organic semiconductor devices and its discretization and implementation in a simulation tool. First, the transport of charge carriers in the isothermal case will be described on the basis of a drift-diffusion model, taking the distinctive features of organic materials into account. Second, the model will be extended in a thermodynamically consistent way to include the self-heating and the resulting feedback as well. In both points, the aspects of modeling, analysis, numerics, and simulation are considered. There are several mathematical challenges regarding a drift-diffusion description of organic devices: In organic semiconductors, the energy levels are Gaussian-distributed with disorder parameter σ such that the densities of electrons and holes are described by the Gauss-Fermi integrals. This leads to a generalized Einstein relation and results in a nonlinear diffusion enhancement in the relation between drift and diffusion current. Moreover, the mobility functions for organic semiconductor materials with Gaussian disorder are increasing with respect to temperature, carrier density, and electrical field strength. The outcome of the project is a fundamental building block for a more efficient multi-scale and multi-physics description and simulation of organic devices.

    Beschreibung

    In the project the stability of power networks and power network models is analyzed. The classical way of modeling a power network is via a large differential-algebraic system of network equations (DAE). Modifications of the power network by adding extra power lines into the network grid or by removing some power lines can be interpreted as low rank perturbations of matrices and matrix pencils that linearize the DAE system mentioned above. In the project, the influence of these perturbation on the stability of the network is analyzed.

    The estimation of the temperature and airflow distribution in buildings via the location of sensor networks is a nonlinear and multiscale problem where dynamics and measurements are (in general) stochastically perturbed. The goal here is to reliably outline temperature and airflow in certain areas by placing sensors on prescribed admissible locations while optimizing several criteria. A trustworthy estimation, provided that closed-loop controllers are in place, becomes a main step in reducing the energy consumption of such control systems.

    Exciton dynamics in organic semiconductors

    Beschreibung

    The performance of optoelectronic devices, such as photovoltaic cells, is critically influenced by the transport of excitonic energy because the majority of photo-excitations occur in the bulk of the crystal from where the energy has to be transported to the interfaces with the electrodes, where charge generation often only occurs. In organic semiconductors, e.g. molecular crystals, polymer chains or dendrimers, the excitons are strongly localized, and the energy transport is normally modeled in terms of excitons diffusively hopping between sites. The present proposal aims at an improved understanding of the excitonic energy transport in organic semiconductors, which is relevant for the characterization of organic solar cells, on a microscopic basis, with emphasis on the role of the electron-phonon coupling. Using mixed quantum-classical dynamics schemes, the electronic degrees of freedom (excitons) are to be treated quantum-mechanically while the nuclear motions (phonons, molecular vibrations) are treated classically. To this end, stochastic surface-hopping algorithms shall be applied and further developed.

    Laufzeit: -

    Beschreibung

    Solar energy is mostly harvested by means of photovoltaic (PV) or concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) solar cells. The efficiency of CPV is higher (at least twice) than the traditional PV but significantly more expensive. To reduce costs, optical condensers (e.g., a Fresnel lens) to concentrate solar light on each CPV cell are used. Moreover, since the energy production is maximized when the panels are perpendicular to the light beam, mechanical tracking systems that move the array of solar panels based on the position of the sun. But these tracking system increases costs, requires power and are error-prone. The goal of this project is the optimal design and control of steerers and concentrators for PV or CPV using electrowetting (EW) and electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD).

    Data Assimilation for Port-Hamiltonian Power Network Models

    Status: beendet
    Standort: Technische Universität Berlin

    Beschreibung

    In this project we will study the modeling of power networks by employing the port-Hamiltonian framework. Energy based modeling with port-Hamiltonian descriptor systems has many advantages, e. g., it accounts for the physical interpretation of its variables, it is best suited for the modular structure of the network, since coupled port-Hamiltonian systems form again a port-Hamiltonian system and it encodes these properties in algebraic and geometric properties that simplify Galerkin type model reduction, stability analysis, and also efficient discretization techniques. To improve the predictions that one obtains from such models we suggest to employ data assimilation and state estimation techniques by incorporating the measurement data. These would allow to take the uncertainty in the measurements and the presence of unmodeled dynamics as well as data and modeling errors into account. The improved predictions can then be used to control the network such that (the expected value of) the load is kept as constant as possible. To control the network we propose to use techniques of model predictive control (MPC) which solve a sequence of finite horizon optimal control problems. The method uses predictions of the state and computes a local optimal control which is then used for the model simulation in the next iteration. This framework is very flexible, since it allows control in real time and the incorporation of nonlinear dynamics and/or inequality constraints. It has already been used successfully within other areas of energy network control. Our new ansatz will also incorporate the stochastic effects into the model predictive control framework using data assimilation. Our vision is to develop numerical methods for network operators that allows the incorporation of model uncertainities for improving simulation and control of power networks.

    Artificial photosynthesis and water splitting, i.e. the sustainable production of chemical fuels like hydrogen and carbohydrates from water and carbon dioxide, has the potential to store the abundance of solar energy that reaches the earth in chemical bonds. Fundamental in this process is the conversion of electromagnetic energy. In photoelectrochemical water splitting semiconductor materials are employed to generate electron hole pairs with sufficient energy to drive the electrochemical reactions. In this project we investigate the use of metallic nanoparticles to excite plasmonic resonances by means of numerical simulations. These resonances localize electromagnetic nearfields which is beneficial for the electrochemical reactions. We develop electromagnetic models and numerical methods to facilite in depth analysis of these processes in close contact with our collaboration partners within the ECMath and the joint lab ``Berlin Joint Lab for Optical Simulation for renewable Energy research'' (BerOSE) between the ZIB, FU and HZB.

    In the project D-SE10 we aspire to recover higher order tensors from a relatively small number of measurements using low rank assumptions. As straight forward generalizations of the matrix recovery techniques to the problem of tensor recovery are often either infeasible or impossible, the focus of this project is twofold. First, to investigate those generalizations that might still be feasible in a tensor setting in particular Riemannian methods on low rank tensor manifolds, and second, to apply and specialize existing techniques from tensor product approximation like the ALS to the tensor recovery and completion settings.

    Model order reduction for light-controlled nanocatalysis

    Laufzeit: -
    Status: beendet
    Standort: Freie Universität Berlin

    Beschreibung

    Photocatalysis is a key application in the field of femtochemistry where chemical reaction dynamics is controlled by temporally shaped femtosecond laser pulses, with the target to promote specific product channels while suppressing competing undesired channels, e.g. pollutants. The optimal shaping of the laser pulse requires a detailed insight into the underlying reaction mechanisms at the atomic or molec- ular level that can often only be obtained by theoretical modelling and computer simulations of the quantum mechanical equations of motion. For catalytic system, this boils down to the iterated integration of the dissipative Liouville–von–Neumann (LvN) equation for reduced quantum mechanical density matrices, which represents the computational bottleneck for theoretical modelling, as the size of the matrices grows quadratically with the number of quantum states involved. The aim of this project is to study model order reduction (MOR) of LvN-based models to beat the curse of dimensionality in the simulation and (optimal) control of photocatalytic processes. In the setting of first-order perturbation theory, the laser field in these models is linearly coupled to the density matrix, which leads to a time- inhomogeneous bilinear system of equations of motion. MOR of bilinear systems has recently been a field of intense research. The downside of many available methods is their lack of structure preservation, most importantly, asymptotic stability of fixed points. An alternative that is in the focus of this project is MOR based on balancing the controllable and observable subspace of the system. Even though the identification of the essential subspace requires the solution of large-scale Lyapunov equations, which limits the applicability of the method to systems of moderate size (up to 100,000 DOFs), it has proven powerful for linear control systems in terms of computable error bounds and structure preservation. Whether these results carry over to the bilinear case is still open. Goals: Extending existing approaches to MOR from the linear to the bilinear case (required for LvN-based models) Developing, implementing and testing numerical methods for the solution of large-scale generalized Sylvester and Lyapunov equations Exploring structure preservation of MOR approaches Applying MOR approaches with optimal control of open quantum systems Identifying relevant photochemical benchmark systems to test various MOR / OC approaches

    The aim of this project is to develop fast linear solvers for heterogeneous saddle point problems as appearing during the iterative solution of non-smooth optimization problems, e.g., in the context of phase field models. While the development of nonlinear solvers for phase field models has reached a certain maturity, the existing solvers for the linear subproblems are still unsatisfactory. As a first step, we focus on two-phase models. Later, we plan to extend these solvers for multiphase systems.

    Topology optimization of wind turbines under uncertainties

    Beschreibung

    The application focus of this project is the topology optimization of the main frame of wind turbines. This is the central assembly platform at the tower head accommodating the drive train, the generator carrier, the azimuth bearing and drives and a lot of small components. Topology optimization should not be mistaken for legally mandated structural analysis computations. For the latter, it is standard to solicit a number of single load scenarios based on available time series data. While this approach is questionable already for stress analysis, it is prohibitive for topology optimization. Disregarding the multivariate distribution of the random loads would not provide any probabilistic certificate for bounding stresses. Moreover, the natural way to choose weights is to derive a stochastic load from available time series data. The main frame is made of cast iron which is prone to a number of material impurities like shrink holes, dross, and chunky graphite. This motivates the additional consideration of randomness for the material stiffness. Structures resulting from topology optimization often exhibit unacceptably high stresses necessitating costly subsequent shape design works. To avoid this already during the optimization, state constraints have to be included in the optimization problem. The main novelty of this project is that it combines a phase field relaxed topology optimisation problem not only with uncertain loading and material data but also with chance state constraints. Even in the finite-dimensional case, the derivation of optimality conditions including gradient formulas is completely open. In the long run, including an appropriate damage model as additional state equation will be a further task of great practical importance.

    Beschreibung

    On the route to a more efficient exploitation of energy and materials, the design of new heterogenous catalysts is a central aspect, be it for the production of fine chemicals or the conversion of solar energy to fuels. Ideally, such a design is based on an atomistic understanding of the origin of catalytic activity. In order to enable this detailed undestanding, first-principles kinetic Monte Carlo approaches have been established during the last decade. Despite their success, these still have some some limitations. On the one hand, the electronic structure methods, employed to determine required rate parameters, introduce a non-negligible error into the later. On the other hand, the need for stochastic simulation and the typically large dimension of the parameter space hampers the determination of the rate determining steps by sensitivity analysis, i.e. the most interesting input for a rational catalyst design. The purpose of this project is to address the aforementioned problems by development of tools for local and global sensitivity analyses. These are applied to models from classical catalysis, but also to models for photo-catalytic processes.

    The optimal sensor placement problem for the estimation of the temperature distribution in buildings is a highly nonlinear and multi-scale problem where stochastic perturbations are usually present. The main goal here is to properly locate sensors in order to reliably estimate the temperature distribution in certain areas. Since feedback controllers are usually in use, a proper estimation of the state is of utmost importance in order to reduce energy consumption of such controllers.

    Photovoltaic devices, which operate by directly converting solar energy into electricity, have become rapidly one of the most important “clean” energy sources. The optimization of thin-film solar cells for such use has been mainly a trial-and-error process. A detailed understanding of the relationships between growth processes, structural defects, strain, and electrical properties would benefit the development of these devices considerably. In the Virtual Institute "Microstructure control for thin-film solar cells", the formation of structural defects and related strain during the growth of thin film solar cells is investigated by combining various experimental as well as simulation approaches. The goal of this subproject is to derive vector-valued phase field models describing CISe (CIGSe) systems (Wagner, TU Berlin) together with fast, robust, and reliable numerical solution techniques (Kornhuber, FU Berlin). Suitable free energies will be determined by density functional theory (Albe, TU Darmstadt).

    Beschreibung

    Novel hierarchical tensor product methods currently emerge as an important tool in numerical analysis and scienti.c computing. One reason is that these methods often enable one to attack high-dimensional problems successfully, another that they allow very compact representations of large data sets. These representations are in some sense optimal and by construction at least as good as approximations by classical function systems like polynomials, trigonometric polynomials, or wavelets. Moreover, the new tensor-product methods are by construction able to detect and to take advantage of self-similarities in the data sets. They should therefore be ideally suited to represent solutions of partial differential equations that exhibit certain types of multiscale behavior.
    The aim of this project is both to develop methods and algorithms that utilize these properties and to check their applicability to concrete problems as they arise in the collobarative research centre. We plan to attack this task from two sides. On the one hand we will try to decompose solutions that are known from experiments, e.g., on Earthquake fault behavior, or large scale computations, such as turbulent flow fields. The question here is whether the new tensor product methods can support the devel­opment of improved understanding of the multiscale behavior and whether they are an improved starting point in the development of compact storage schemes for solutions of such problems relative to linear ansatz spaces.
    On the other hand, we plan to apply such tensor product approximations in the frame­work of Galerkin methods, aiming at the reinterpretation of existing schemes and at the development of new approaches to the ef.cient approximation of partial differential equations involving multiple spatial scales. The basis functions in this setting are not taken from a given library, but are themselves generated and adapted in the course of the solution process.
    One mid-to long-term goal of the project that combines the results from the two tracks of research described above is the construction of a self-consistent closure for Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of turbulent flows that explicitly exploits the tensorproduct approach’s capability of capturing self-similar structures. If this proves successful, we plan to transfer the developed concepts also to Earthquake modelling in joint work with partner project B01.

    Beschreibung

    The main topic of this tandem proposal is the direct comparison of results from mathematical modeling, analysis and experimental investigations of rupture,dewetting dynamics and equilibrium patterns of a thin liquid-liquid system. The experimental system uses a PS (polystyrene)/ PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) thin bilayer of a few hundred nanometer, whose liquid properties can be tuned from Newtonian to visoelastic rheological flow behavior by varying the length of the polymer chains. On these small scales, apart from capillary forces and viscous dissipation, intermolecular forces will play an important role in the dynamics and morphology of the interfaces. The mathematical analysis and numerical simulation of adequate thin film models that will be derived from the underlying fluid mechanical equations, will be used through direct comparisons with experiments. Thus, we aim at clarifying also fundamental properties, such as equilibrium contact angles, singularity formation or dewetting rates. This shall form the basis for more complex situations involving evaporation, surfactant monolayers, and slippage, to yield the understanding crucial for many important nanofluidic problems in nature and technology ranging from rupture of the human tear film to the interface dynamics of donor/acceptor polymer solutions used in organic solar cells.

    Beschreibung

    The occurrence of microstructures in solid mechanics and, in particular, in finite plasticity can be attributed to a loss of the convexity of the underlying energy potentials. While the material deforms macroscopically, structures in the form of shear bands, cracks or lami- nates arise on microscopic scales. Common to these examples is that their macroscopic simulations have to be based on the quasiconvexification of the energy functional.The projects within the research group either concern the modelling or the simulation. In contrast, the object of this project is the justification of computer simulations with an analysis of discretisation and design of converging adaptive mesh-refining algorithms. The mathematical justification concerns numerical simulations on the microscopic scale (a), on the macroscopic scale (b), for time-evolving microstructure (c).In the first funding period, an efficient algorithm on the numerical relaxation in single- crystal finite plasticity has been established in (a). The degenerate nature of the (quasi-) convexified variational model in (b) required novel stabilisation techniques on adapted finite element grids. The influence of the perturbation of the computed macroscopic energy density W is examined in the combination of (a) and (b). The main result in the analysis of perturbed minimisation problems guarantees convergence of an adaptive mesh-refining algorithm for asymptotically exact computation of energies.The project continues to investigate the convergence of numerical simulations of rate- independent evolution problems for the full time-space discretisation (c). The second funding period shall investigate the improvements of nonstandard finite element methods in (a), (b), and (c).

    Beschreibung

    Feststoffprozesse in der Verfahrenstechnik lassen sich durch Populationsbilanzsysteme beschreiben. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein gekoppeltes System von partiellen Differentialgleichungen zur Charakterisierung der kontinuierlichen Phase, sowie einer Populationsbilanzgleichung zur Beschreibung der Feststoffphase. Die Lösung dieser Populationsbilanzgleichung, die Partikelverteilungsdichte f(t,r,x), beschreibt die Partikelverteilung zum Zeitpunkt t in den Ortskoordinaten r und in einer bzw. mehreren Eigenschaftskoordinaten x.

    Ziel des Projektes ist der Vergleich und die Weiterentwicklung von numerischen Verfahren zur Lösung von Populationsbilanzsystemen. Dies soll am Beispiel der formselektiven Kristallisation von ausgewählten Modellsubstanzen, die sich über eine bzw. mehrere Eigenschaftskoordinaten beschreiben lassen, geschehen. Weiterhin sollen im Rahmen dieses Projektes optimale statistisch geplante wachstums- bzw. agglomerationsdominierte Benchmarkexperimente durchgeführt werden. Diese dienen sowohl zur Bestimmung von kinetischen Parametern wie Nukleations- und Wachstumsraten oder Agglomerationskernen, als auch zur Abschätzung der numerischen Fehler der zur Simulation verwendeten Lösungsverfahren. Abschließend sollen die entwickelten Methoden, sowie die ermittelten Prozesskinetiken zur Auslegung und Optimierung eines Gesamtprozesses zur kontinuierlichen und formselektiven Kristallisation verwendet werden.

    Beschreibung

    Microbial strains used in biotechnological industry need to produce their biotechnological products at high yield and at the same time they are desired to be robust to the intrinsic nutrient dynamics of large-scale bioreactors, most noticeably to transient limitations of carbon sources and oxygen. The engineering principles for robustness of metabolism to nutrient dynamics are however not yet well understood. The ROBUSTYEAST project aims to reveal these principles for microbial strain improvement in biotechnological applications using a systems biology approach. This will contribute to establishing evolutionary optimization protocols for making microbial production strains robust against dynamic nutrient conditions. The consortium will study the robustness of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in experiments during the dynamics associated with two cyclic nutrient transitions that are each of major relevance to industry: repeated cycles of glucose and ethanol growth and of aerobic and anaerobic growth. We shall monitor the physiological changes during the evolutionary adaptation of yeast to those transitions, using laboratory-evolution in lab-scale bioreactors (chemostat mode). By combining this data with computational modelling we shall identify the metabolic features that make yeast robust to these industrially relevant condition cycles. The theoretical and computational approaches that the consortium will develop involve optimisation methods applicable to metabolism transiting from one steady state to the next via dynamic regulation. We shall iterate experiments and modelling to improve our models given experimental data, to identify new measurements critical to improve our understanding, and to finally identify key regulatory mechanisms for a robust metabolism of S. cerevisiae, given changes in glucose, ethanol and oxygen concentrations. The robustness of metabolic regulation under dynamic conditions will be evaluated from the kinetic models, and the regulatory interactions that confer such robustness will be determined.

    Within this project we develop, analyze, and implement simulation and optimization procedures for variable density multiphase flows governed by di ffuse interface models. In the simulation part we in particular develop and analyse numerical methods for the simulation of multiphase flow problems with variable fluid densities which guarantee a locally re fined resolution of the local processes at the interface. In a next step we propose adaptive discretization concepts for the coupling of diff use interface models and surface partial di fferential equations (PDEs). In the optimization part we consider open - and closed - loop control approaches, where we formulate and analyze optimal control problems for multiphase flows governed by di ffuse interface models, develop robust and reliable solution strategies for their numerical solution, and develop, implement and analyze model-predictive feedback control strategies for multiphase flows governed by di ffuse interface models.

    Beschreibung

    Many complex phenomena in the sciences are described by nonlinear partial differential equations, the solutions of which exhibit oscillations and concentration effects on multiple temporal or spatial scales. To understand the interplay of effects on different scales, it is central to determine those quantities on the microscale that are needed for the correct description of the macroscopic evolution. Our aim is to develop a mathematical framework for modeling and analyzing systems with multiple scales. In particular, we want to derive new effective equations on the macroscale that fully take into account the effects on the microscale. This will include Hamiltonian dynamics as well as different types of dissipation like gradient flows or rate-independent dynamics. The choice of models will be guided by specific applications in
    • material modeling (e.g., thermoplasticity, pattern formation, porous media) and
    • optoelectronics (drift-diffusion equations, pulse interaction, Maxwell-Bloch systems).

    The research will address mathematically fundamental issues like existence and stability of solutions but will be mainly devoted to the modeling of multiscale phenomena in evolution systems. We will focus on systems with geometric structures, where the dynamics is driven by functionals. Thus, we can go much beyond the classical theory of homogenization and singular perturbations. The novel features of our approach to multiscale problems are
    • the combination of different dynamical effects in one framework,
    • the use of geometric and metric structures for partial differential equations,
    • the exploitation of Gamma-convergence for evolution systems driven by functionals.

    Beschreibung

    Die Erforschung und Herstellung von neuen Werkstoffen basiert stark auf der Entwicklung von adäquaten Modellen zur Beschreibung des makroskopischen Verhalten von Materialien mit Mikrostruktur. In diesen Modellen müssen die Informationen aus einer Mikroskala über die hier vorhandenen Verbundstrukturen und Werkstoffmechanismen, die das Material- verhalten auf einer Makroskala bestimmen, inkorporiert werden. Experimentell ist es gut nachgewiesen, dass die Behinderung der Versetzungsbewegung durch verschiedene Mikro-Legierungselemente, andere Versetzungen oder durch Korngrenzen zu Aushärtungserscheinungen, die auf dem Makroniveau beobachtet werden können, führt. Die Keimbildung und die Vermehrung von Leerstellen führen zur Entwicklung von Mikrorissen entlang von Korngrenzen und weiter bis zum Versagen oder Bruch des Materials.Eine direkte Simulation von Modellen mit mehreren Skalen ist in der Regel aufgrund der Notwendigkeit, ein sehr feines Netz zu verwenden, um die Skaleneffekte zu erfassen, sogar auf modernen Rechnern numerisch sehr aufwendig. Für Werkstoffe, die eine periodische/stochastische Mikrostruktur besitzen, werden daher zur Entwicklung von effizienten numerischen Algorithmen verschiedene Homogenisierung-Methoden eingesetzt. Diese Methoden ermöglichen den mathematisch rigorosen Übergang von einer mikroskopischen zu einer makroskopischen Beschreibung des Werkstoffverhaltens. In dieser Arbeit muss die mathematisch rigorose Beschreibung der makroskopischen Evolution der elasto/visko-plastischen Materialien mit stochastisch verteilten oder geometrisch periodischen Verbundstrukturen unterschiedlicher Geometrie während der Deformation in den Sobolev-Räumen mit Maßen hergeleitet werden. Untersucht werden muss auch die Abhäangigkeit der makroskopischen Eigenschaften der mikro-strukturierten Materialien von der Form der konstituierenden Microinklusionen, von ihrer Konzentration, von ihrer geometrischen Anordnung und von den Materialparametern ihrer Bestandteile.

    Modellierungskriterien für eine stabile Co-Simulation gekoppelter PDAE-Systeme

    Beschreibung

    Eine zunehmend feinere Modellierung im Bereich der Elektronik und Mechanik berücksichtigt auch räumlich verteilte Effekte unter der Einbindung partieller Differentialgleichungen für bestimmte Teilkomponenten. Nach Ortsdiskretisierung erhält man für jede Teilkomponente DAEs von hoher Dimension. Zudem kommen je nach Modellkomponente verschiedene Ortsdiskretisierungen in Form von Simulationskomponenten zum Einsatz.

    Der neue FMI-Standard [4] ermöglicht eine Co-Simulation von beliebig gekoppelten DAE-Systemen. Je nach Formulierung der Kopplung kann dies zu erheblichen Instabilitäten bei der numerischen Integration führen [2,3]. In [1] wurden notwendige und hinreichende Kriterien für eine stabile Integration gekoppelter Index-1-Systeme entwickelt. Hierbei spielt die Formulierung der Kopplung eine entscheidende Rolle. In diesem Projekt sollen die in [1] erzielten Ergebnisse auf strukturierte Systeme vom Index 2 ausgedehnt werden, da diese trotz leichter Instabilität in der Praxis erfolgreich für Simulationen der Teilsysteme genutzt werden (siehe z. B. Netzwerkgleichungen für elektronische Schaltungen und GGL-Formulierungen mechanischer Mehrkörpersysteme). Hinsichtlich der Strukturen stehen insbesondere Hessenberg-Systeme und Systemgleichungen für elektronische Netzwerke im Fokus, um die Ergebnisse auf die Benchmark-Systeme der Industriepartner anwenden zu können. In Zusammenarbeit mit TP1 sollen die in AP1.1 modellreduzierten nichtlinearen DAE-Systeme dahingehend analysiert und gegebenenfalls die Modellreduktionstechniken so adaptiert werden, dass eine stabile Co-Simulation mittels dynamischer Iteration bei Realisierung der entwickelten Kopplungsbedingungen möglich wird.

    Darüber hinausgehend sollen formale mathematische Strukturen für allgemeine Teilsysteme und ihre Kopplung erarbeitet werden, die eine stabile gekoppelte Simulation ermöglichen. Basis hierfür sind einerseits die strukturellen Untersuchungen im Bereich elektronischer Schaltungen für gesteuerte Quellen (siehe [2]) und andererseits die Erfahrungen im Bereich der properen Formulierung von DAE-Systemen für eine stabilitätserhaltende numerische Integration [5,6].

    Das Arbeitsprogramm gliedert sich in folgende Schritte:

    Arbeitspaket 2.1: Stabilitätsanalyse für strukturierte (P)DAE-Systeme mit Teilkomponenten vom Index 1 und 2. Zu Beginn sollen die gekoppelten DAE-Systeme (auch ortsdiskretisierte PDAEs) in Hessenberg- oder Netzwerkform auf ihre Stabilitätseigenschaften untersucht werden. Diese Ergebnisse bilden die Grundlage für die weiteren Untersuchungen in AP 2.2 zur Erhaltung dieser Stabilitätseigenschaften bei einer Simulation mittels dynamischer Iteration der Teilsysteme. Zusätzlich sollen Stabilisierungstechniken für die modulare Zeitintegration gekoppelter Systeme entwickelt und getestet werden, die auf den mit FMI for Model Exchange and Co-Simulation v2.0 neu geschaffenen Möglichkeiten aufbauen (Jacobimatrizen der rechten Seiten und der Ausgangsgleichungen).

    Arbeitspaket 2.2: Untersuchung verschiedener Kopplungsformulierungen auf das Stabilitätsverhalten einer dynamischen Iteration. Die bereits bekannten Stabilitätsbedingungen für die dynamische Iteration gekoppelter DAE-Index-1-Systeme in semiexpliziter Form sollen zunächst auf quasilineare DAEs in Netzwerk-Form erweitert werden. Daran anschließend sollen hinreichende Bedingungen für eine stabile Kopplung mit Index-2-Teilsystemen in Hessenberg- und Netzwerk-Form entwickelt werden. In Zusammenarbeit mit TP3 soll untersucht werden, unter welchen Verfahrensbeschränkungen die entwickelten Kopplungsbdingungen auch Stabilität bei Nutzung der in AP3.1 untersuchten Multirate-Ansätze garantieren.

    Arbeitspaket 2.3: Entwicklung mathematischer Modellkriterien für eine stabile Co-Simulation von (P)DAE-Modellen. Schließlich sollen auf der Basis der Erkenntnisse von AP 2.2 für gekoppelte Systeme mit Komponenten in Hessenberg- oder Netzwerk-Form mathematische Modellkriterien für allgemeine (P)DAE-Systeme entwickelt werden, die eine stabile dynamische Iteration ermöglichen. Im Fokus stehen hierbei die in TP1 entwickelten modellreduzierten DAE-Systeme von ortsdiskretisierten PDAEs der gekoppelten elektromagnetischen Feld- und Schaltungssimulation.

    The fp7-nanoCOPS project addresses the simulation of
    • Power-MOS devices, with applications in energy harvesting, that involve couplings between electromagnetics (EM), heat, and stress, and
    • RF-circuitries in wireless communication, which involves EM-circuit-heat coupling and multirate behaviour, together with analogue-digital signals.

    The research and development within fp7-nanoCOPS aims to
    • create efficient and robust simulation techniques for strongly coupled systems, that exploit the different dynamics of sub-systems and that allow designers to predict reliability and ageing
    • include a variability capability such that robust design and optimization, worst case analysis, and yield estimation with tiny failures are possible (including large deviations like 6-sigma)
    • reduce the complexity of the sub-systems while ensuring that the parameters can still be varied and that the reduced models offer higher abstraction models that are efficient to simulate
