Gamra: Simple meshing for complex earthquakes
The static offsets caused by earthquakes are well described by elastostatic models with a discontinuity in the displacement along the fault. A traditional approach to model this discontinuity is to align the numerical mesh with the fault and solve the equations using finite elements. However, this distorted mesh can be difficult to generate and update. We present a new numerical method, inspire...
متن کاملDiscontinuity Meshing for Complex Environments
Throughout this thesis, there is an underlying assumption that the quality of a computer graphics image is important. This thesis reports research into computer image synthesis for obtaining this quality. The introduction of discontinuity meshing into existing radiosity techniques has enabled images to be produced at levels of previously unobtainable quality. However, discontinuity meshing is a...
متن کاملComplex earthquakes and Teichmüller theory
It is known that any two points in Teichmüller space are joined by an earthquake path. In this paper we show any earthquake path R → T (S) extends to a proper holomorphic mapping of a simplyconnected domain D into Teichmüller space, where R ⊂ D ⊂ C. These complex earthquakes relate Weil-Petersson geometry, projective structures, pleated surfaces and quasifuchsian groups. Using complex earthquak...
متن کاملG23FM: a tool for meshing complex geological media
We present G23FM, a mesh generation tool for discretizing twoand three-dimensional complex fractured geological media. G23FM includes different techniques to generate finite element grids that maintain the geometric integrity of input surfaces, and geologic data and produce optimal triangular/tetrahedral grids for flow and transport simulations. G23FM generates grid for two-dimensional cross-se...
متن کاملBoundary Layer Meshing for Viscous Flows in Complex Domains
High reynolds number ow simulations exhibit strong gradients normal to walls and across shear layers requiring much ner resolution of the solution in some directions compared to others. To keep mesh sizes manageable for such problems, meshes with highly anisotropic elements are necessary. In this paper, a method for generating boundary layer meshes for arbitrarily complex non-manifold geometric...
