Adaptive Polyhedral Mesh Generation Method for Compressible Flows

Polyhedral Mesh Generation

A new methodology to generate a hex-dominant mesh is presented. From a closed surface and an initial all-hex mesh that contains the closed surface, the proposed algorithm generates, by intersection, a new mostly-hex mesh that includes polyhedra located at the boundary of the geometrical domain. The polyhedra may be used as cells if the field simulation solver supports them or be decomposed into...

Adaptive Mesh Generation for Viscous Flows Using Delaunay

Adaptive mesh generation by bubble packing method

The bubble packing method is implemented for adaptive mesh generation in two and three dimensions. Bubbles on the boundary of a three-dimensional domain are controlled independently of the interior bubbles in the domain, and a modified octree technique is employed to place initial bubbles in the three-dimensional zone. Numerical comparisons are made with other mesh generation techniques to demo...

A low numerical dissipation patch-based adaptive mesh refinement method for large-eddy simulation of compressible flows

This paper presents a hybrid finite-difference/weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) method for large-eddy simulation of compressible flows with low-numerical dissipation schemes and structured adaptive mesh refinement (SAMR). A conservative flux-based approach is described, encompassing the cases of scheme alternation and internal mesh interfaces resulting from SAMR. An explicit centered...

An object-oriented and quadrilateral-mesh based solution adaptive algorithm for compressible multi-fluid flows

In this paper, an object-oriented and quadrilateral-mesh based solution adaptive algorithm for the simulation of compressible multi-fluid flows is presented. The HLLC scheme (Harten, Lax and van Leer approximate Riemann solver with the Contact wave restored) is extended to adaptively solve the compressible multi-fluid flows under complex geometry on unstructured mesh. It is also extended to the...
