Adaptive Visualization of Dynamic Unstructured Meshes
نویسنده
چکیده
Visualization of time-varying volume data is essential for understanding the results of scientific simulations. Interactive exploration of these datasets is a challenging problem since the data is often unstructured and may contain many time and domain field instances. We propose an adaptive framework for interactively volume rendering large dynamic unstructured meshes on a commodity PC by efficiently leveraging programmable graphics hardware. Our goal is to provide a user with an tool for interactively managing and exploring datasets too large to render with existing methods.

Parallel Dynamic Graph Partitioning for Adaptive Unstructured Meshes
A parallel method for the dynamic partitioning of unstructured meshes is described. The method introduces a new iterative optimization technique known as relative gain optimization which both balances the workload and attempts to minimize the interprocessor communications overhead. Experiments on a series of adaptively refined meshes indicate that the algorithm provides partitions of an equival...

A balanced-force control volume finite element method is presented for three-dimensional interfacial flows with surface tension on adaptive anisotropic unstructured meshes. A new balanced-force algorithm for the continuum surface tension model on unstructured meshes is proposed within an interface capturing framework based on the volume of fluid method, which ensures that the surface tension fo...

The theory and application of numerical methods for unstructured meshes have been improved significantly in recent years. Because the grids can be place arbitrarily in space, unstructured meshes can provide much higher spatial resolution than regular meshes. The built-in nature of mesh adaptivity for unstructured meshes gives one way to simulate highly dynamic, hierarchical problems involving b...

Modern PDE solvers increasingly use adaptive unstructured meshes in order to discretise complex geometries and control numerical error The problem of dividing up the domain equally for a distributed memory parallel computer whilst minimising the inter subdomain dependencies can be tackled with graph based methods such as Recursive Spectral Bisection This paper describes an extension to such met...
متن کاملDynamic Load-Balancing For PDE Solvers Using Adaptive Unstructured Meshes
Modern PDE solvers written for time-dependent problems increasingly employ adaptive unstructured meshes (see Flaherty et al. [4]) in order to both increase e ciency and control the numerical error. If a distributed memory parallel computer is to be used, there arises the signi cant problem of dividing up the domain equally amongst the processors whilst minimising the intersubdomain dependencies...
