Azahar MongeAzahar Monge holds a Postdoctoral position at the ERC Advanced Grant project DyCon under the supervision of Prof. Enrique Zuazua (UAM and DeustoTech). Before that, she earned her PhD in Numerical Analysis at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Lund University(Sweden) under the supervision of Prof. Philipp Birken.

“My research interests are in the numerical analysis of Partial Differential Equations. During my PhD I have been focused on the numerical aspects arising in the partitioned simulation of thermal fluid-structure interaction becoming familiar with domain decomposition methods and time adaptive multirate time integration methods. At the moment, I am moving towards inverse design of time-irreversible models using optimal control techniques.”

PhD Thesis

Partitioned methods for time-dependent thermal fluid-structure interaction

Advisor: Prof. Philipp Birken – Centre for Mathematical Sciences – Lund University – Lund, Sweden.
Description: The efficient simulation of thermal interaction between fluids and structures is crucial in the design of many industrial products, e.g. turbine blades or rocket nozzles. The main goal of this work is to present a high order time adaptive multirate parallel partitioned coupled method for the efficient numerical solution of two parabolic problems with strong jumps in the material coefficients that can be further extended to thermal fluid-structure interaction simulation.

Licentiate Thesis

The Dirichlet-Neumann iteration for unsteady thermal fluid-structure interaction

Advisor: Prof. Philipp Birken – Centre for Mathematical Sciences – Lund University – Lund, Sweden.
Description: In this thesis we analyze the convergence rate of the Dirichlet-Neumann iteration for the fully discretized unsteady transmission problem. Specifically, we consider the coupling of two linear heat equations on two identical non overlapping domains with jumps in the material coefficients across these as a model for thermal fluid structure interaction.

Master’s Thesis

Numerical Solutions of Macroscopic Equations for Multiphase Flows in Porous Media

Advisor:
Description: The objective of the thesis is to solve numerically the initial and boundary value problems posed, discussed and solved quasi-analytical earlier using the open source computational fluid dynamics package OpenFOAM.
