Abstract The automated reconstruction of building information modeling (BIM) objects from unstructured point cloud data for indoor as-built modeling is still a challenging task and the subject of much ongoing research. The most important part of the process is to detect the wall geometry clearly. A popular method is first to segment and classify point clouds, after which the identified segments should be clustered according to their corresponding objects, such as walls and clutter. To perform this process, a major problem is low-quality point clouds that are noisy, cluttered and that contain missing parts in the data. Moreover, the size of… More >

Abstract In this paper, a new isogeometric topology optimization (ITO) method is proposed by using T-splines based isogeometric analysis (IGA). The arbitrarily shaped design domains, directly obtained from CAD, are represented by a single T-spline surface which overcomes the topological limitations of Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS). The coefficients correlated with control points are directly used as design variables. Therefore, the T-spline basis functions applied for geometry description and calculation of structural response are simultaneously introduced to represent the density distribution. Several numerical examples show that the proposed approach leads to a coherent workflow to handle design problems of complicated structures. The… More >

Abstract A finite volume method based unstructured grid is presented to solve the two dimensional viscous and incompressible flow. The method is based on the pressure-correction concept and solved by using a semi-staggered grid technique. The computational procedure can handle cells of arbitrary shapes, although solutions presented in this paper were only involved with triangular and quadrilateral cells. The pressure or pressure-correction value was stored on the vertex of cells. The mass conservation equation was discretized on the dual cells surrounding the vertex of primary cells, while the velocity components and other scale variables were saved on the central of primary… More >

Abstract Due to more complex and severe design, more effective and faster finite element analyses are demanded. One of the most effective analysis ways is the combination of adaptive analysis and multigrid iterative solver, because an adaptive analysis requires several meshes with different node densities and multigrid solver utilizes such meshes to accelerate its computation. However, convergence of multigrid solver is largely affected by initial shape of each element. An effective mesh improvement method is proposed here. It is the combination of mesh coarsening and refinement. A good mesh can be obtained by the method to be applied to an initial… More >

Abstract This paper presents an algorithm for automatic partitioning of unstructured meshes for parallel finite element computations employing float-encoded genetic algorithms (FEGA). The problem of mesh partitioning is represented in such a way that the number of variables considered in the genome (chromosome) construction is constant irrespective of the size of the problem. In order to accelerate the computational process, several acceleration techniques like constraining the search space, local improvement after initial global partitioning have been attempted. Finally, micro float-encoded genetic algorithms have been developed to accelerate the computational process. More >

Abstract The Control Volume Finite Element Method (CVFEM) combines the geometric flexibility of the Finite Element Method (FEM) with the physical intuition of the Control Volume Method (CVM). These two features of the CVFEM make it a very powerful tool for solving heat and fluid flow problems within complex domain geometries. In solving problems in the two-dimensional domains the development of the CVFEM has been well documented. For the three-dimensional problems, while there is extensive reporting on the details of the numerical approximation, there is relatively sparse information on important issues related to data structure and interpolation. Here, in the context… More >

Abstract We discuss the formulation, validation, and parallel performance of a high-order accurate method for the time-domain solution of the three-dimensional Maxwell's equations on general unstructured grids. Attention is paid to the development of a general discontinuous element/penalty approximation to Maxwell's equations and a locally divergence free form of this. We further discuss the motivation for using a nodal Lagrangian basis for the accurate and efficient representation of solutions and operators. The performance of the scheme is illustrated by solving benchmark problems as well as large scale scattering applications. More >

Abstract A numerical procedure for the simulation of 3D problems involving the scattering of electromagnetic waves is presented. As practical problems of interest in this area often involve domains of complex geometrical shape, an unstructured mesh based method is adopted. The solution algorithm employs an explicit finite element procedure for the solution of Maxwell's curl equations in the time domain using unstructured tetrahedral meshes. A PML absorbing layer is added at the artificial far field boundary that is created by the truncation of the physical domain prior to the numerical solution. The complete solution procedure is parallelised and several large scale… More >

Abstract In this article we use the new, unified framework of high order one-step P_NP_M schemes recently proposed for inviscid hyperbolic conservation laws by Dumbser, Balsara, Toro, and Munz (2008) in order to solve the viscous and resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in two and three space dimensions on unstructured triangular and tetrahedral meshes. The P_NP_M framework uses piecewise polynomials of degree N to represent data in each cell and piecewise polynomials of degree M ≥ N to compute the fluxes and source terms. This new general machinery contains usual high order finite volume schemes (N = 0) and discontinuous Galerkin finite… More >
