A 2D Moving Grid Geometric Deformable Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Geometric deformable models based on the level set method have become very popular in the last several years. To overcome an inherent limitation in accuracy while maintaining computational efficiency, adaptive grid techniques using local grid refinement have been developed for use with these models. This strategy, however, requires a very complex data structure, yields large numbers of contour points, and is inconsistent with our previously presented topology-preserving geometric deformable model (TGDM). In this paper, we incorporate an alternative adaptive grid technique called the moving grid method into the geometric deformable model framework. We find that it is simpler to implement than grid refinement, requiring no large, complex, hierarchical data structures. It also limits the number of contour vertices in the final contour and supports the incorporation of the topology-preserving constraint of TGDM. After presenting the algorithm, we demonstrate its performance using both simulated and real images.

Study of the 2D laminar flapping wing case using the Spectral Difference method
We further developed a 2D spectral difference (SD) method code published in [1] and [2] to handle moving and deformable grids. The code is written using the spectral difference method where the solution points and flux points are arranged in a staggered fashion. We typically conduct computations using either 3rd-, 4th-, 5th-, or 6th-order SD method. The flow field within each cell is reconstruc...

This paper introduces a computational strategy to collaboratively develop the Galerkin Finite Volume Method (GFVM) as one of the most straightforward and efficient explicit numerical methods to solve structural problems encountering material nonlinearity in a small limited area, while the remainder of the domain represents a linear elastic behavior. In this regard, the Element Free Galerkin met...

Systems involving flexible bodies interacting with surrounding fluid flow are commonplace, but are challenging to model numerically on account of their complex geometries and freely moving boundaries. In the present study, we developed an immersed boundary method (IB) for simulating fluid−flexible structure interactions. Our method is based on an efficient Navier-Stokes solver adopting the frac...
