A consistent solution of the reinitialization equation in the conservative level-set method
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a new re-initialization method for the conservative level-set function is put forward. First, it has been shown that the re-initialization and advection equations of the conservative level-set function are mathematically equivalent to the re-initialization and advection equations of the localized signed distance function. Next, a new discretization for the spatial derivatives of the conservative level-set function has been proposed. This new discretization is consistent with the re-initialization procedure and it guarantees a second-order convergence rate of the interface curvature on gradually refined grids. The new re-initialization method does not introduce artificial deformations to stationary and non-stationary interfaces, even when the number of re-initialization steps is large.

A BINARY LEVEL SET METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION
This paper proposes an effective algorithm based on the level set method (LSM) to solve shape and topology optimization problems. Since the conventional LSM has several limitations, a binary level set method (BLSM) is used instead. In the BLSM, the level set function can only take 1 and -1 values at convergence. Thus, it is related to phase-field methods. We don’t need to solve the Hamilton-Jac...
متن کاملA Locally Gradient-Preserving Reinitialization for Level Set Functions
The level set method commonly requires a reinitialization of the level set function due to interface motion and deformation. We extend the traditional technique for reinitializing the level set function to a method that preserves the interface gradient. The gradient of the level set function represents the stretching of the interface, which is of critical importance inmany physical applications...
متن کاملDifferential equation based constrained reinitialization for level set methods
A partial differential-equation based reinitialization method is presented in the framework of a localized level set method. Two formulations of the new reinitialization scheme are derived. These formulations are modifications of the partial differential equation introduced by Sussman et al. [J. Comp. Phys. 114 (1994), 146-159] and, in particular, improvements of the second-order accurate modif...
متن کاملOptimal control for reinitialization in finite element level set methods
A new optimal control control problem that incorporates the residual of the Eikonal equation into its objective is presented. The formulation of the state equation is based on the level set transport equation but extended by an additional source term, correcting the solution so as to minimize the objective functional. The method enforces the constraint so that the interface cannot be displaced....
متن کاملReinitialization of the Level-Set Function in 3d Simulation of Moving Contact Lines
The level set method is one of the most successful methods for the simulation of multi-phase flows. To keep the level set function close the signed distance function, the level set function is constantly reinitialized by solving a Hamilton-Jacobi type of equation during the simulation. When the fluid interface intersects with a solid wall, a moving contact line forms and the reinitialization of...
