An improved set of guiding-centre equations, expanded to one order higher in Larmor radius than usually written for guiding-centre codes, are derived for curvilinear flux coordinates and implemented into the orbit following code VENUS-LEVIS. Aside from gre ...
Fluid injection in the subsurface has significantly increased over the last decades. Fluid injection causes pressure buildup, which reduces effective stresses and thus, shear failure conditions may eventually occur, inducing microseismic and seismic events ...
In this thesis we study calculus of variations for differential forms. In the first part we develop the framework of direct methods of calculus of variations in the context of minimization problems for functionals of one or several differential forms of th ...
We present a new technique for the design and test of coaxial switched oscillators (SWOs). In this paper (Part I of a two-part paper), we concentrate on the electrostatic design of coaxial SWOs. We introduce a new design for the electrodes, which have been ...

Divergence-form operators with stationary random coefficients homogenize over large scales. We investigate the effect of certain perturbations of the medium on the homogenized coefficients. The perturbations considered are rare at the local level, but when ...
This paper discusses theoretical aspects of the modeling of the sources of the EEG (i.e., the bioelectromagnetic inverse problem or source localization problem). Using theHelmholtz decomposition (HD) of the current density vector (CDV) of the primary curre ...
We propose an efficient construction of wavelet frames in any number of dimensions that are divergence-free. Our approach is based on applying the Leray projector, which is scale-invariant, to a standard wavelet frame. We prove that the projected wavelets ...

To identify under what conditions guiding-centre or full-orbit tracing should be used, an estimation of the spatial variation of the magnetic field is proposed, not only taking into account gradient and curvature terms but also parallel currents and the lo ...
