Book excerpt: An adaptive finite element method is developed to solve initial boundary value problems for vector systems of parabolic partial differential equations in one space dimension and time. The differential equations are discretized in space using piecewise linear finite element approximations. Superconvergence properties and quadratic polynomials are used to derive a computationally inexpensive approximation to the spatial component of the error. This technique is coupled with time integration schemes of successively higher orders to obtain an approximation of the temporal and total discretization error. The stability of several mesh equidistribution schemes for time dependent partial differential equations is studied. The schemes move a finite difference or finite element mesh so that a given quantity is uniform over the domain. Mesh moving methods that are based on solving a system of ordinary differential equations for the mesh velocities are considered and some of these methods are shown to be unstable with respect to an equidistributing mesh when the partial differential system is dissiptive. Simple criteria for determining the stability of a particular method are developed and the construction of stable differential systems for the mesh velocities is demonstrated. Several examples illustrating stable and unstable mesh motions are present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An adaptive finite element method is developed to solve initial boundary value problems for vector systems of parabolic partial differential equations in one space dimension and time. The differential equations are discretized in space using piecewise linear finite element approximations. Superconvergence properties and quadratic polynomials are used to derive a computation ally inexpensive approximation to the spatial component of the error. This technique is coupled with time integration schemes of successively higher orders to obtain an approximation of the temporal and total discretization errors. These approximate errors are used to control an adaptive mesh refinement strategy. Refinement is performed in space, time, or both space and time depending on the dominant component of the error estimate. A computer code coupling this refinement strategy and stable mesh movement has been written and applied to a number of problems. These computations confirm that proper mesh movement can reduce the computational efforts associated with mesh refinement.

Now,
Download or read book An Adaptive Mesh Moving and Local Refinement Method for Time Dependent Partial Differential Equations written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We discuss mesh-moving, static mesh regeneration, and local mesh-refinement algorithms that can be used with a finite difference or finite element scheme to solve initial boundary value problems for vector systems of time-dependent partial differential equations in two space dimensions and time. A coarse based mesh of quadrilateral cells is moved by an algebraic mesh-movement function so as to follow and isolate spatially distinct phenomena. The local mesh-refinement method recursively divides the time step and spatial cells of the moving base mesh in regions where error indicators are high until a prescribed tolerance is satisfied. The static mesh-regeneration procedure is used to create a new base mesh when the existing one becomes to distorted. The adaptive methods have been combined with a MacCormack finite difference scheme for hyperbolic systems and an error indicator based upon estimates of the local discretization error obtained by Richardson extrapolation. Results are presented for several computational examples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlights the Progression of Meshing Technologies and Their Applications Finite Element Mesh Generation provides a concise and comprehensive guide to the application of finite element mesh generation over 2D domains, curved surfaces, and 3D space. Organised according to the geometry and dimension of the problem domains, it develops from the basic meshing algorithms to the most advanced schemes to deal with problems with specific requirements such as boundary conformity, adaptive and anisotropic elements, shape qualities, and mesh optimization. It sets out the fundamentals of popular techniques, including: Delaunay triangulation Advancing-front (ADF) approach Quadtree/Octree techniques Refinement and optimization-based strategies From the geometrical and the topological aspects and their associated operations and inter-relationships, each approach is vividly described and illustrated with examples. Beyond the algorithms, the book also explores the practice of using metric tensor and surface curvatures for generating anisotropic meshes on parametric space. It presents results from research including 3D anisotropic meshing, mesh generation over unbounded domains, meshing by means of intersection, re-meshing by Delaunay-ADF approach, mesh refinement and optimization, generation of hexahedral meshes, and large scale and parallel meshing, along with innovative unpublished meshing methods. The author provides illustrations of major meshing algorithms, pseudo codes, and programming codes in C++ or FORTRAN. Geared toward research centers, universities, and engineering companies, Finite Element Mesh Generation describes mesh generation methods and fundamental techniques, and also serves as a valuable reference for laymen and experts alike.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors discuss a moving finite element method for solving vector systems of time dependent partial differential equations in one space dimension. The mesh is moved so as to equidistribute the spatial component of the discretization error in H1. They present a method of estimating this error by using p-hierarchic finite elements. The error estimate is also used in an adaptive mesh refinement procedure to give an algorithm that combines mesh movement and refinement. The authors discretize the partial differential equations in space using a Galerkin procedure with piecewise linear elements to approximate the solution and quadratic elements to estimate the error. A system of ordinary differential equations for mesh velocities are used to control element motions. The authors use existing software for stiff ordinary differential equations for the temporal integration of the solution, the error estimate, and the mesh motion. Computational results using a code based on this method are presented for several examples.
