A finite element scheme to compute the dynamics of insoluble surfactant on a deforming free surface is presented. The free surface is tracked by the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) approach, whereas the surfactant concentration transport equation is approximated in a Lagrangian manner. Since boundary resolved moving meshes are used in the ALE approach, the surface tension, which may be a li...

The micromechanical approach to topology design consists in deening a domain of porous material, including the loads and supports, and nding an optimal distribution of the densities. The usual method is to mesh the structure and assign a diierent density and material orientation to every element. Optimal topologies emerge when using the densities and orientations as design variables in a mathem...

Discrete Laplace–Beltrami operators on polyhedral surfaces play an important role for various applications in geometry processing and related areas like physical simulation or computer graphics. While discretizations of the weak Laplace–Beltrami operator are well-studied, less is known about the strong form. We present a principle for constructing strongly consistent discrete Laplace–Beltrami o...

Surface parameterizations and registrations are important in computer graphics and imaging, where 1-1 correspondences between meshes are computed. In practice, surface maps are usually represented and stored as 3D coordinates each vertex is mapped to, which often requires lots of storage memory. This causes inconvenience in data transmission and data storage. To tackle this problem, we propose ...
