Vector Field Rbf Interpolation on a Sphere

چکیده
This paper presents a new approach for Radial Basis Function (RBF) interpolation on a sphere. Standard approaches use the Euclidian metrics for the distance calculation of two points. However, for interpolation on a sphere, more naturally is computation of the distance as the shortest distance over the surface on a sphere, i.e. spherical distance of two points is more natural for interpolation on a sphere. We present the results on synthetic and real wind vector datasets on a globe.

Mesh-free Semi-Lagrangian Methods for Transport on a Sphere Using Radial Basis Functions
We present three new semi-Lagrangian methods based on radial basis function (RBF) interpolation for numerically simulating transport on a sphere. The methods are mesh-free and are formulated entirely in Cartesian coordinates, thus avoiding any irregular clustering of nodes at artificial boundaries on the sphere and naturally bypassing any apparent artificial singularities associated with surfac...
متن کاملVector Field Interpolation with Radial Basis Functions
This paper presents a new approach for the Radial Basis Function (RBF) interpolation of a vector field. Standard approaches for interpolation randomly select points for interpolation. Our approach uses the knowledge of vector field topology and selects points for interpolation according to the critical points location. We presents the results of interpolation errors on a vector field generated ...
متن کاملA Stable Algorithm for Flat Radial Basis Functions on a Sphere
When radial basis functions (RBFs) are made increasingly flat, the interpolation error typically decreases steadily until some point when Runge-type oscillations either halt or reverse this trend. Because the most obvious method to calculate an RBF interpolant becomes a numerically unstable algorithm for a stable problem in case of near-flat basis functions, there will typically also be a separ...
متن کاملStress Analysis of Magneto Thermoelastic and Induction Magnetic Filed in FGM Hallow Sphere
In this paper a closed form solution for one-dimensional magnetothermoelastic problem in a functionally graded material (FGM) hollow sphere placed in a uniform magnetic field and temperature field subjected to an internal pressure is obtained using the theory of magnetothermoelasticity. Hyper-geometric functions are employed to solve the governing equation. The material properties through the g...

In this study an analytical method is developed to obtain the response of electro-magneto-thermo-elastic stress and perturbation of a magnetic field vector for a thick-walled spherical functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM). The hollow sphere, which is placed in a uniform magnetic field, is subjected to a temperature gradient, inner and outer pressures and a constant electric potenti...
