Discontinuities handled with events in Assimulo, a practical approach

Abstract
Often ordinary differential equations or differential algebraic equations do not constitute the problem alone. A common complement is finding the root of an algebraic function (an event function) that depends on the states of the problem. This formulation of a model enables the possibility of including discontinuities and saving or stopping the process more effective. The problem of root-finding during integration is however difficult. Both in a theoretical aspect and as a software problem. In this thesis, the theoretical aspects are made with emphasis on explicit ordinary differential equations and the implementation of software is done in Assimulo. It takes into consideration the existing structures and the Functional Mockup Interface... (More)

In this thesis, the theoretical aspects are made with emphasis on explicit ordinary differential equations and the implementation of software is done in Assimulo. It takes into consideration the existing structures and the Functional Mockup Interface standard. The implementation is made usable for a wide variety of solvers and is also verified and benchmarked with advanced industrial models, showing good indications of being robust and scaling well for large systems.
