   abstract = {Dealing with surface-oriented models - e.g. B-Rep models - is very popular and appropriate for many applications. They can be read by most CAD programs and they provide all freedom of modelling. Concerning a lot of other tasks - consistency checks, collision detection, structural analysis, flow simulation, e.g. - these models become difficult to handle, and a volume-oriented model has to be derived from the existing surface-oriented one. Hierarchical volume-oriented models, represented by octrees for example, provide an easy access to solve the latter tasks with respect to their spatial decomposition of the underlying geometry. This paper deals with fast and efficient algorithms to generate and process octrees - even on-the-fly - from surface-oriented models for applications in civil engineering. Encoding these octrees as binary streams makes them suitable to get multiplexed with other octree-coded objects or for the usage in pipe-like constructs. Conventional algorithms for octree generation or processing don't exploit the full potential of these structures. In spite of the principal advantages of octrees concerning complexity, objects of a higher resolution typically still entail too high run-time and memory requirements. Usually, an expensive floating-point-based decision whether or not to refine the structure has to be taken in each voxel (cell) successively. In our approach, instead, the refinement decision is done by a simple parameter comparison of plane equations, avoiding all these costs. By treating each face of the surface-oriented model as a plane that divides the whole space into two half spaces - inside and outside -, the volume-oriented model can be built from intersecting all inside-attributed half spaces. The steps for generating an octree presentation for each corresponding plane, intersecting these octrees, and encoding the result as a binary stream can be done at once - thus, the octree generation is free of any redundant calculations, and the overall memory requirements are reduced to a minimum due to the usage of stacks. The highest gain can be achieved in run-time, e.g. an octree generation for an average geometry with more than 1.5 billion voxels can be done in best time on a standard PC. Several of these binary streams can be multiplexed to perform further Boolean or more sophisticated operations (e.g. collision detection), while one always has the choice to perform this operations on-the-fly or to perform consecutive operations - like with Unix pipes - on binary streams written to the hard disk. One target application of this method deals with consistency checks for CAD models in the scope of simplifying and unifying planning processes in civil engineering. Before a connection model for structural analysis is created out of an (Eurostep) IFC model, any modelling errors (geometric inconsistencies) - wrong intersections or gaps between parts of the model - can be detected fast and easily. Hence, this proceeding enables us to obtain a reliable volume-oriented attributed model that can serve for numerical simulations as well as to determine relations between parts of the model to ensure global consistency, which brings us one step closer to the long-term objective of completely embedded simulation processes.},

   abstract = {In this paper, we study the potential of adaptive sparse grids for multivariate numerical quadrature in the moderate or high dimensional case, i.e. for a number of dimensions beyond three and up to several hundreds. There, conventional methods typically suffer from the curse of dimension or are unsatisfactory with respect to accuracy. Our sparse grid approach, based upon a direct higher order discretization on the sparse grid, overcomes this dilemma to some extent, and introduces additional flexibility with respect to both the order of the 1 D quadrature rule applied (in the sense of Smolyak's tensor product decomposition) and the placement of grid points. The presented algorithm is applied to some test problems and compared with other existing methods.},

   abstract = {The central theme of the book is the flow of information from experimental approaches in biofilm research to simulation and modeling of complex wastewater systems. Probably the greatest challenge in wastewater research lies in using the methods and the results obtained in one scientific discipline to design intelligent experiments in other disciplines, and eventually to improve the knowledge base the practitioner needs to run wastewater treatment plants. The purpose of Biofilms in Wastewater Treatment is to provide engineers with the knowledge needed to apply the new insights gained by researchers. The authors provide an authoritative insight into the function of biofilms on a technical and on a lab-scale, cover some of the exciting new basic microbiological and wastewater engineering research involving molecular biology techniques and microscopy, and discuss recent attempts to predict the development of biofilms. This book is divided into 3 sections: Modeling and Simulation; Architecture, Population Structure and Function; and From Fundamentals to Practical Application, which all start with a scientific question. Individual chapters attempt to answer the question and present different angles of looking at problems. In addition there is an extensive glossary to familiarize the non-expert with unfamiliar terminology used by microbiologists and computational scientists.},

   abstract = {New experimental and analytical techniques like confocal laser scanning microscopy (CSLM) or the use of RNA-targeted probes have provided insight into the morphology, architecture, and function of biofilm cultures. The different observations made there suggest that more attention has to be paid to a detailed study of the microscale processes like flow and transport phenomena as well as to the development of the bofilm's primary components, i.e. microbial cells and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). For that, numerical simulations are a promising approach. However, due to the large variety of different effects and influence factors, strong multiscale characteristics with respect to both time and space, and due to the need for an explicit high spatial resolution in order to capture the occurring changes of the underlying geometry because of biomass growth, for example, 3D simulations have hardly been tackled so far. Actually, most existing simulation tools for biofilm systems are based on strongly simplified model assumptions that turned out to be not valid in general. In this work, we report on first steps towards microscale simulations of flow, transport, reactive, and growth processes in 3D biofilm geometries obtained from CLSM images of a small and defined monoculture biofilm setup. The basic framework is the finite volume CFD solver Nast++, to which transport equations (convection-diffusion in the fluid phase, diffusion-reaction in the biofilm) and the cellular automaton CAsim for capturing biomass growth are coupled. Some numerical results of realized simulations as well as strategies for an increased numerical efficiency are presented.},
