Accurate interface normal and curvature estimates on three-dimensional unstructured non-convex polyhedral meshes

چکیده
The volume-of-fluid (VOF) method is one of the most widely used formulations to simulate interfacial and free-surface flows (Scardovelli & Zaleski 1999). In this method, the interface evolution is implicitly tracked using a discrete function, F , whose value represents the volume fraction of the tagged fluid within a cell of the computational mesh. F is a discretized version of the fluid marker function, f , that is constant in each phase, jumps at the interface from 0 to 1, and follows the scalar convection equation

Discrete curvatures and Gauss maps for polyhedral surfaces
The paper concerns the problem of correct curvatures estimates directly from polygonal meshes. We present a new algorithm that allows the construction of unambiguous Gauss maps for a large class of polyhedral surfaces, including surfaces of non-convex objects and even non-manifold surfaces. The resulting Gauss map provides shape recognition and curvature characterisation of the polyhedral surfa...
متن کاملThe Discrete Duality Finite Volume method for the Stokes equations on 3-D polyhedral meshes
We develop a Discrete Duality Finite Volume (DDFV) method for the three-dimensional steady Stokes problem with a variable viscosity coefficient on polyhedral meshes. Under very general assumptions on the mesh, which may admit non-convex and non-conforming polyhedrons, we prove the stability and well-posedness of the scheme. We also prove the convergence of the numerical approximation to the vel...
متن کاملA balanced-force control volume finite element method for interfacial flows with surface tension using adaptive anisotropic unstructured meshes
A balanced-force control volume finite element method is presented for three-dimensional interfacial flows with surface tension on adaptive anisotropic unstructured meshes. A new balanced-force algorithm for the continuum surface tension model on unstructured meshes is proposed within an interface capturing framework based on the volume of fluid method, which ensures that the surface tension fo...
متن کاملA computational method for sharp interface advection
We devise a numerical method for passive advection of a surface, such as the interface between two incompressible fluids, across a computational mesh. The method is called isoAdvector, and is developed for general meshes consisting of arbitrary polyhedral cells. The algorithm is based on the volume of fluid (VOF) idea of calculating the volume of one of the fluids transported across the mesh fa...
متن کاملRevisiting the Least-squares Procedure for Gradient Reconstruction on Unstructured Meshes
The accuracy of the least-squares technique for gradient reconstruction on unstructured meshes is examined. While least-squares techniques produce accurate results on arbitrary isotropic unstructured meshes, serious di culties exist for highly stretched meshes in the presence of surface curvature. In these situations, gradients are typically under-estimated by up to an order of magnitude. For v...
