Adaptive mesh generation by bubble packing method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The bubble packing method is implemented for adaptive mesh generation in two and three dimensions. Bubbles on the boundary of a three-dimensional domain are controlled independently of the interior bubbles in the domain, and a modified octree technique is employed to place initial bubbles in the three-dimensional zone. Numerical comparisons are made with other mesh generation techniques to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present bubble packing scheme for twoand three-dimensional domains. It is shown that this bubble packing method provides a high quality of mesh and affordable control of mesh density as well.

Adaptive All-Hexahedral Mesh Generation Based on A Hybrid Octree and Bubble Packing
In this paper, a novel adaptive all-hexahedral (all-hex) mesh generation algorithm is proposed based on a hybrid octree. This hybrid octree consists of polyhedral cells and each grid point is always shared by eight cells by using a cutting procedure. A dual mesh with all-hex elements is then extracted by analyzing each grid point. Next, sphere or ellipsoid bubble packing is applied to improve t...
متن کاملHigh Quality Anisotropic Tetrahedral Mesh Generation Via Ellipsoidal Bubble Packing
This paper presents a new computational method for anisotropic tetrahedral meshing that (1) can control shapes of the elements by an arbitrary anisotropy function, and (2) can avoid ill-shaped elements induced from poorly distributed node locations. Our method creates a tetrahedral mesh in two steps. First our method obtains node locations through a physically based particle simulation, which w...

|In this paper, a new adaptive method for nite element analysis using dynamic bubble system is proposed. The error estimation is performed according to the Zienkiewicz-Zhu error norm estimator and using improved solution of the problem instead of the unknown exact values which is both straightforward and computationally cheap. Mesh density is easily controlled by changing the radii of the node ...

متن کاملQuad-layer: Layered Quadrilateral Meshing of Narrow Two-dimensional Domains by Bubble Packing and Chordal Axis Transformation
This paper presents a computational method for quadrilateral meshing of a thin, or narrow, two-dimensional domain for finite element analysis. The proposed method creates a well-shaped single-layered, multi-layered, or partially multi-layered quadrilateral mesh. Element sizes can be uniform or graded. A high quality, layered quadrilateral mesh is often required for finite element analysis of a ...
