چکیده

A novel algorithm to extrude smooth, near-body volume meshes from surface meshes of arbitrary topology is presented. These meshes are classified as generalized meshes because multiple element topologies may be present within the same mesh. The algorithm utilizes a three-step, parabolic scheme based on the Poisson equation used in structured grid generation to extrude the volume mesh. Several preliminary example meshes are included to demonstrate the efficacy of the approach.

Generation of Volume Meshes by Extrusion from Surface Meshes of Arbitrary Topology

An algorithm to generate volume meshes by extrusion from surface meshes of arbitrary topology is presented. The algorithm utilizes a three-step, advancing layer scheme to extrude a smooth volume mesh starting from an initial surface mesh. First, a locally orthogonal reference mesh is algebraically generated for the layer. The reference mesh is then smoothed using a locally three-dimensional Poi...

Quality improvements in extruded meshes using topologically adaptive generalized elements

This paper describes a method to extrude near-body volume meshes that exploits topologically adaptive generalized elements to improve local mesh quality. Specifically, an advancing layer algorithm for extruding volume meshes from surface meshes of arbitrary topology, appropriate for viscous fluid flows, is discussed. First, a two-layer reference mesh is generated from the layer initial surface ...

OPTIMAL DECOMPOSITION OF FINITE ELEMENT MESHES VIA K-MEDIAN METHODOLOGY AND DIFFERENT METAHEURISTICS

In this paper the performance of four well-known metaheuristics consisting of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Biogeographic Based Optimization (BBO), Harmony Search (HS) and Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) are investigated on optimal domain decomposition for parallel computing. A clique graph is used for transforming the connectivity of a finite element model (FEM) into that of the cor...

On G stitched bi-cubic Bézier patches with arbitrary topology

Lower bounds on the generation of smooth bi-cubic surfaces imply that geometrically smooth (G) constructions need to satisfy conditions on the connectivity and layout. In particular, quadrilateral meshes of arbitrary topology can not in general be covered with G-connected Bézier patches of bi-degree 3 using the layout proposed in [ASC17]. This paper analyzes whether the pre-refinement of the in...

A Colour Interpolation Scheme for Topologically Unrestricted Gradient Meshes

Gradient meshes are a 2D vector graphics primitive where colour is interpolated between mesh vertices. The current implementations of gradient meshes are restricted to rectangular mesh topology. Our new interpolation method relaxes this restriction by supporting arbitrary manifold topology of the input gradient mesh. Our method is based on the Catmull-Clark subdivision scheme, which is well-kno...
