An adaptive unstructured grid generation scheme is introduced to use finite volume (FV) and finite element (FE) formulation to solve the heat equation with singular boundary conditions. Regular grids could not acheive accurate solution to this problem. The grid generation scheme uses an optimal time complexity frontal method for the automatic generation and delaunay triangulation of the grid po...

In this paper, a modification on the fixed grid finite element method is presented and used in the solution of 2D linear elastic problems. This method uses non-boundary-fitted meshes for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Special techniques are required to apply boundary conditions on the intersection of domain boundaries and non-boundary-fitted elements. Hence, a new met...

two-dimensional euler equations have been solved on an unstructured grid. an upwind finite volume scheme, based on roes flux difference splitting method, is used to discretize the equations. using advancing front method, an initial delaunay triangulation has been made. the adaptation procedure involves mesh enrichment coarsening in regions of flow with high low gradients of flow properties, acc...

The effects of using both directions and directional subdividing on adaptive gridembedding on the computational time and the number of grid points required for the same accuracy are considered. Directional subdividing is used from the beginning of the adaptation procedure without any restriction. To avoid the complication of unstructured grid, the semi-structured grid was used. It is used to so...

the present study is concerned with optimal shape determination of inhomogeneous and temperature dependent domains under steady state heat conduction. such situations are important in many thermal design problems, especially in shape design of electronic components and chips. in the present paper, we formulate the shape optimization problem based on volume minimization of heat conductive materi...
