In the recent years there has been a growing interest in studying electromagnetic wave propagation at the nanoscale. The interaction of light with metallic nanostructures produces a collective excitation of conduction electrons at the metal surface, also known as surface plasmons. These plasmonic resonances enable an unprecedented control of light by confining the electromagnetic field to regions well beyond the diffraction limit, thereby leading to nearfield enhancements of the incident wave of several orders of magnitude. These remarkable properties have motivated the application of plasmonic devices in sensing, nano-resolution imaging, energy harvesting, nanoscale electronics and cancer treatment. Despite state-of-the-art nanofabrication techniques are used to realize plasmonic devices, their performance is severely impacted by fabrication uncertainties arising from extreme manufacturing constraints. Mathematical modeling and numerical simulation are therefore essential to accurately predict the response of the physical system, and must be incorporated in the design process. Nonetheless, plasmonic simulations present notable challenges. From the physical perspective, the realistic behavior of conduction electrons in metallic nanostructures is not captured by Maxwell's equations, thus requiring additional modeling. From the simulation perspective, the disparity in length scales stemming from the extreme field localization exceeds the capabilities of most numerical simulation schemes. In addition, relevant data such as optical constants or geometry specifications are typically subject to measurement and manufacturing errors, hence simulations need to accommodate uncertainty in the data. In this thesis we present a collection of numerical methods to efficiently simulate electromagnetic wave propagation through metallic nanostructures. Firstly, we develop the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method for Maxwell's equations augmented with the hydrodynamic model for metals, which accounts for the nonlocal interactions between electrons that become predominant at nanometric regimes. Secondly, we develop a reduced order modeling (ROM) framework for Maxwell's equations with the HDG method, enabling the incorporation of material and geometric uncertainties in the simulations. The result is a family of surrogate models that produces accurate yet inexpensive simulations of plasmonic devices. Finally, we apply these approaches to the study of periodic annular nanogaps, and present parametric analyses, verification with experimental data and design of novel structures.

This thesis describes the systematic development of methods to perform large scale dynamic simulations of hydrodynamically interacting colloidal particles undergoing Brownian motion. Approximations to the hydrodynamic interactions between particles are built from the periodic fundamental solution for flow at zero Reynolds number and are methodically improved by introducing the multipole expansion and constraints on particle dynamics. Ewald sum splitting, which decomposes the sum of slowly decaying interactions into two rapidly decaying sums evaluated indepently in real space and Fourier space, is used to accelerate the calculation and serves as the basis for a new technique to sample the Brownian displacements that is orders of magnitude faster than prior approaches. The simulation method is first developed using the ubiquitous Rotne-Prager approximation for the hydrodynamic interactions.
Extension of the Rotne-Prager approximation is achieved via the multipole expansion, which introduces the notion of induced force moments whose value is determined from the solution of constraint problems (for example, rigid particles cannot deform in flow), and methods for handling these multipole-based constraints are illustrated. The multipole expansion converges slowly when particles are nearly touching, a problem which is functionally solved for dynamic simulations by including divergent lubrication interactions, in the style of Stokesian Dynamics. The lubrication interactions effectively introduce an additional constraint on the relative motion of closely separated particle pairs. This constraint is combined with the multipole constraints by developing a general method to handle nearly arbitrary dynamic constraints using saddle point matrices. Finally, the methods developed herein are applied to study sedimentation in suspensions of attractive colloidal particles.
The simulation results are used to develop a predictive model for the hindered/promoted settling function that describes the mean sedimentation rate as a function of particle concentration and attraction strength.
