1A.3 SVR: Practical Engineering of a Fast 3D Meshing Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent Sparse Voronoi Refinement (SVR) Algorithm for mesh generation has the fastest theoretical bounds for runtime and memory usage. We present a robust practical software implementation of the SVR for meshing a piecewise linear complex in 3 dimensions. Our software is competitive in runtime with state of the art freely available packages on generic inputs, and on pathological worse cases inputs, we show SVR indeed leverages its theoretical guarantees to produce vastly superior runtime and memory usage. The theoretical algorithm description of SVR leaves open several data structure design options, especially with regard to point location strategies. We show that proper strategic choices can greatly effect constant factors involved in runtime.

متن کاملA new conforming mesh generator for three-dimensional discrete fracture networks
Nowadays, numerical modelings play a key role in analyzing hydraulic problems in fractured rock media. The discrete fracture network model is one of the most used numerical models to simulate the geometrical structure of a rock-mass. In such media, discontinuities are considered as discrete paths for fluid flow through the rock-mass while its matrix is assumed impermeable. There are two main pa...
متن کاملFast Finite Element Method Using Multi-Step Mesh Process
This paper introduces a new method for accelerating current sluggish FEM and improving memory demand in FEM problems with high node resolution or bulky structures. Like most of the numerical methods, FEM results to a matrix equation which normally has huge dimension. Breaking the main matrix equation into several smaller size matrices, the solving procedure can be accelerated. For implementing ...

متن کاملSimulation of Store Separation using Low-cost CFD with Dynamic Meshing
The simulation of the store separation using the automatic coupling of dynamic equations with flow aerodynamics is addressed. The precision and cost (calculation time) were considered as comparators. The method used in the present research decreased the calculation cost while limiting the solution error within a specific and tolerable interval. The methods applied to model the aerodynamic force...
