Project: AdaPore: rigorous and fully adaptive model selection for multiphase flow through porous media.
Developed guaranteed, robust and efficient a-posteriori estimators for general nonlinear elliptic problems (click here for the FreeFem codes). Used the results for a rigorous and adaptive linearization algorithm for the Richards equation. |
|||
| 2021-2022 | Post-Doc | Radboud University, The Netherlands | Advisor: Dr. S. Sonner |
| I investigated the PDE-PDE & PDE-ODE models arising from spread of biofilms. Biofilm equations are nonlinear degenate parabolic equations couple to a substrate equation by the source term. We looked into the existence-uniqueness of weak solutions, as well as, travelling wave solutions, their stability, and in general spreading behaviour of the biofilms. | |||
| 2020-2021 | Post-Doc | INRIA Paris, France | Advisor: Prof. M. Vohralik |
| Project: ERC Consolidator Gatipor: We derived robust and locally space-time efficient a-posteriori error bounds for fully degenerate Richards equation, and demonstrated the efficiency of the estimators numerically. The FreeFem+ codes can be found in this github repository . | |||
| 2019-2020 | Post-Doc | TU Dortmund, Germany | Advisor: Prof. B. Schweizer |
| Formulating as a one and higher dimensional TW problem, we proved the existence of finger solutions having a free-boundary. The predictions were validated numerically by an adaptive algorithm. |
