3D NOffset mixed-element mesh generator approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a new approach to generate a mixed mesh with elements aligned to boundary/interfaces wherever is required. A valid element is: (a) any convex co-spherical element that fulfills the requirements of the underlying numerical method and (b) any element that satisfies domain specific geometric features of the model. The algorithm is based on the normal offsetting approach to generate coarse elements aligned to the boundary/interfaces. Those elements are later refined to accomplish layer density requirements. The main steps of the algorithm are described in detail and examples are given to illustrate the already implemented parts. As far as possible, we contrast this algorithm with previous approaches.

Experimental and 3D Finite Element Analysis of a Slotless Air-Cored Axial Flux PMSG for Wind Turbine Application
In this research paper, the performance of an air-cored axial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator is evaluated for low speed, direct drive applications using 3D finite element modeling and experimental tests. The structure of the considered machine consists of double rotor and coreless stator, which results in the absence of core losses, reduction of stator weight and elimination of cog...
متن کاملA two-dimensional parallel quadtree finite element mesh generator
In this work we implement a parallel finite element mesh generator for two-dimensional regions, based on recursive spatial division techniques. The main formulation is based on spatial recursive decomposition techniques (RSD) combined with the MPI library. A data structure has been developed aimed at the reduction of inter-processor communication. Results are presented for generation of meshes ...
متن کاملA new family of stable mixed finite elements for the 3D Stokes equations
A natural mixed-element approach for the Stokes equations in the velocity-pressure formulation would approximate the velocity by continuous piecewise-polynomials and would approximate the pressure by discontinuous piecewise-polynomials of one degree lower. However, many such elements are unstable in 2D and 3D. This paper is devoted to proving that the mixed finite elements of this Pk-Pk−1 type ...
متن کاملNETGEN An advancing front 2D/3D-mesh generator based on abstract rules
In this paper, the algorithms of the automatic mesh generator NETGEN are described. The domain is provided by a Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG). The whole task of 3D mesh generation splits into four subproblems of special point calculation, edge following, surface meshing and finally volume mesh generation. Surface and volume mesh generation are based on the advancing front method. Emphasis i...
