Book Description
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and optimization, generation of hexahedral meshes, and large scale and parallel meshing, along with innovative unpublished meshing methods.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.

Book Description
This self-explanatory guide introduces the basic fundamentals of the Finite Element Method in a clear manner using comprehensive examples. Beginning with the concept of one-dimensional heat transfer, the first chapters include one-dimensional problems that can be solved by inspection. The book progresses through more detailed two-dimensional elements to three-dimensional elements, including discussions on various applications, and ending with introductory chapters on the boundary element and meshless methods, where more input data must be provided to solve problems. Emphasis is placed on the development of the discrete set of algebraic equations. The example problems and exercises in each chapter explain the procedure for defining and organizing the required initial and boundary condition data for a specific problem, and computer code listings in MATLAB and MAPLE are included for setting up the examples within the text, including COMSOL files. Widely used as an introductory Finite Element Method text since 1992 and used in past ASME short courses and AIAA home study courses, this text is intended for undergraduate and graduate students taking Finite Element Methodology courses, engineers working in the industry that need to become familiar with the FEM, and engineers working in the field of heat transfer. It can also be used for distance education courses that can be conducted on the web. Highlights of the new edition include: - Inclusion of MATLAB, MAPLE code listings, along with several COMSOL files, for the example problems within the text. Power point presentations per chapter and a solution manual are also available from the web. - Additional introductory chapters on the boundary element method and the meshless method. - Revised and updated content. -Simple and easy to follow guidelines for understanding and applying the Finite Element Method.

Adaptive Mesh Refinement for Finite Element Flow Modeling in Complex Geometries

Book Description
Adaptive mesh refinement is a powerful tool for obtaining the highest solution accuracy for a given computational effort. Over the past decade, many adaptive techniques have been developed and applied to a variety of fluid flow problems. Results obtained for compressible flows, and to an extent, 2D incompressible flows have been impressive, however, similar progress has not been noted for 3D incompressible flows, particularly in complicated geometries. The objective of this thesis was to develop and test an adaptive solution methodology for 3D incompressible flow simulations in domains of arbitrary complexity. To characterize the finite element solution error, the Zienkiewicz-Zhu patch recovery error estimator (LPR) was adopted. An enhanced version of the LPR error estimator was formulated and implemented using 10-noded tetrahedral elements. The enhanced estimator (LPRC) resulted in significantly improved gradient recovery (and consequently, improved error estimates) at virtually no additional computational cost. For mesh refinement, an elemental subdivision procedure was implemented. To enable refinement in complex geometries, a procedure for preserving the boundary integrity of a refined mesh was developed. This methodology can be used for geometric data from any solid modeling (CAD) system provided the data can be exported in the IGES format. A benchmark study of the AMR procedure, in which steady flow over a three-dimensional backward-facing step was simulated, showed that the cumulative computational effort required in the adaptive analysis was lower than that required in a non-adaptive analysis of the same problem. In the second phase of this work, the AMR procedure was applied to modeling flow through two arterial geometries. Specifically, flows in an idealized end-to-side anastomosis and in a human right coronary artery were examined. Both studies assessed whether an AMR analysis could achieve more accurate solutions than conventional analyses that utilize high-resolution meshes whose gradation is based on 'a priori' knowledge of the flow field. It was noted that mesh-independent velocity fields were not very difficult to obtain even in the absence of an adaptive methodology. However, wall shear stress fields were much more difficult to absolutely resolve non-adaptively. Given that shear stresses occurring on arterial walls are widely believed to be a key factor governing the development of arterial disease, it is very important to accurately resolve wall shear stress fields if confidence can be placed in the results of numerical simulations of arterial flow phenomena. These results indicate that wall shear stress is an extremely sensitive measure of spatial resolution, and that the systematic solution-adaptive methodology developed in this thesis is very effective in producing accurately resolved wall shear stress fields.
