We propose a hybrid mesh deformation algorithm which uses the direction of the boundary deformation to determine the positions of the interior mesh vertices in the deformed mesh. Our goal is to produce meshes on deformed domains which maintain mesh ‘similar’ element shape and possess no inverted elements. The hybrid mesh deformation algorithm consists of two steps, anisotropic finite element-ba...

This Note deals with the adaptation of unstructured meshes for transient CFD problems. The proposed approach is based on a new mesh adaptation algorithm and a metric intersection in time procedure suitable to capture such phenomena. More precisely, a new specific loop is inserted in the main adaptation loop to solve a transient fixed point problem. The mesh adaptation stage consists in optimizi...

We present a framework for generating a trivariate B-spline parametrization of turbine blades from measurement data generated by optical scanners. This new representation replaces the standard patchbased representation of industrial blade designs. In a first step, the blade surface is represented by a smoothly varying family of B-spline curves. In a second step, the blade is parametrized by a t...

The recon gurable mesh (rn-mesh) can solve a large class of problems in constant time, including problems that require logarithmic time by other, even shared memory, models such as the pram with a similar number of processors [3]. In this work we show that for the rn-mesh these constants can always be reduced to one, still using a polynomial number of processors. Given a recon gurable mesh that...

This paper propose a novel algorithm pipeline to automatically extract the segmentation lines of 3D mesh accurately and efficiently. Our algorithm is based on the minima rule. The minima rule states that human perception usually divides a surface into parts along the concave discontinuity of the tangent plane. The algorithm pipeline has four steps. The first step is the estimate of discrete cur...

In this paper, we show a general way to interpret the infrastructure of a global field of arbitrary unit rank. This interpretation generalizes the prior concepts of the giant-step operation and f -representations, and makes it possible to relate the infrastructure to the (Arakelov) divisor class group of the global field. In the case of global function fields, we present results that establish ...

We discuss the nonabelian world-volume action which governs the dynamics of N coincident Dp-branes. In this theory, the branes’ transverse displacements are described by matrix-valued scalar fields, and so this is a natural physical framework for the appearance of noncommutative geometry. One example is the dielectric effect by which Dp-branes may be polarized into a noncommutative geometry by ...

Modeling and simulation has become an essential step in the engineering design process. Modeling and simulation can be used during either the original design phases, or on assessment of existing designs. In either case, the end result is increased confidence in the design, faster time to market, and reduced engineering cost. An essential step in modeling and simulation is the creation of a fini...

We consider the use of initially rigid cohesive interface models in a two-dimensional dynamic finiteelement solution of a fracture process. Our focus is on convergence of finite-element solutions to a solution of the undiscretized medium as the mesh spacing x (and therefore time-step t) tends to zero. We propose the use of pinwheel meshes, which possess the ‘isoperimetric property’ that for any...
