A non–oscillatory, high resolution reconstruction method on quadrilateral meshes in 2D is presented. It is a two–dimensional extension of Marquina’s hyperbolic method. The generalization to quadrilateral meshes allows the method to simulate realistic flow problems in complex domains. An essential point in the construction of the method is a second order accurate approximation of gradients on an...

Algorithms of quadrilateral mesh partition and optimization based on cloud data are proposed in the paper. Quadrilateral meshes are partite by means of dynamic edge-extending according to the types of the nodes. The mesh optimization algorithms are designed, and topology optimization of degree 2 and 3 node and region mesh optimization processing based on viewpoint are programmed and debugged as...

This paper presents the development of a 2D solver for inviscid and viscous compressible flows using the spectral difference (SD) method for unstructured grids with mixed elements. A mixed quadrilateral and triangular grid is first refined using one-level h-refinement to generate a quadrilateral grid while keeping the curvature of boundary edges. The SD method designed for quadrilateral meshes ...

This chapter explains techniques for the generation of quadrilateral and hexahedral element meshes. Since structured meshes are discussed in detail in other parts of this volume, we focus on the generation of unstructured meshes, with special attention paid to the 3D case. Quadrilateral or hexahedral element meshes are the meshes of choice for many applications, a fact that can be explained emp...

We consider a quadrilateral ’mini’ finite element for approximating the solution of Stokes equations using a quadrilateral mesh. We use the standard bilinear finite element space enriched with element-wise defined bubble functions for the velocity and the standard bilinear finite element space for the pressure space. With a simple modification of the standard bubble function we show that a sing...

We study the mixed Dirichlet–Neumann problem for Laplace equation in complement of a bounded convex polygonal quadrilateral extended complex plane. The Dirichlet / Neumann conditions at opposite pairs sides are $$\{0,1\}$$ and $$\{0,0\},$$ resp. solution to this is harmonic function unbounded polygon known as potential quadrilateral. compute values u including its value infinity. main result pa...

We consider the approximation properties of quadrilateral finite element spaces of vector fields defined by the Piola transform, extending results previously obtained for scalar approximation. The finite element spaces are constructed starting with a given finite dimensional space of vector fields on a square reference element, which is then transformed to a space of vector fields on each conve...

This work presents a study on the performance of nodal bases on triangles and on quadrilaterals for discontinuous Galerkin solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws. A nodal basis on triangles and two tensor product nodal bases on quadrilaterals are considered. The quadrilateral element bases are constructed from the Lagrange interpolating polynomials associated with the Legendre–Gauss–Lobatto ...
