An Accurate and Robust Finite Element Level Set Redistancing Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new redistancing method for piecewise polynomial finite element level set functions is introduced. The method directly computes the distance to the implicitly given discrete level set. Rigorous error bounds and numerical experiments are provided. Both show that, up to constants, the method is as good as the nodal interpolation of the computationally unavailable signed distance function of the continuous level set.

A Finite Element Level Set Redistancing Method Based on Gradient Recovery
We introduce a new redistancing method for level set functions. This method applies in a finite element setting and uses a gradient recovery technique. Based on the recovered gradient a quasi-normal field on the zero level of the finite element level set function is defined and from this an approximate signed distance function is determined. For this redistancing method rigorous error bounds ar...
متن کاملA geometric mass-preserving redistancing scheme for the level set function
In this paper we describe and evaluate a geometric mass-preserving redistancing procedure for the level set function on general structured grids. The proposed algorithm is adapted from a recent finite element-based method and preserves the mass by means of a localized mass correction. A salient feature of the scheme is the absence of adjustable parameters. The algorithm is tested in two and thr...

In this paper we shall discuss the numerical simulation of higher order geometric flows by level set methods. Main examples under considerations are surface diffusion and the Willmore flow as well as variants and of them with more complicated surface energies. Such problems find various applications, e.g. in materials science (crystal growth, thin film technology), biophysics (membrane shapes),...

متن کاملCoupling Nonlinear Element Free Galerkin and Linear Galerkin Finite Volume Solver for 2D Modeling of Local Plasticity in Structural Material
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...
