Solution - Based Mesh Quality for Triangular and Tetrahedral Meshes
نویسنده
چکیده
A new mesh quality measure for triangular and tetrahedral meshes is presented. This mesh quality measure is based both on geometrical and solution information and is derived by considering the error when linear triangular and tetrahedral elements are used to approximate a quadratic function. The new measure is shown to be related to existing measures of mesh quality but with the advantage that local solution information in the form of scaled derivatives along edges is taken into account. This advantage is demonstrated by a comparison with a geometrical indicator on a parameterized problem.

متن کاملAn Introduction to Mesh Quality
The issue of mesh quality for unstructured triangular and tetrahedral meshes is considered. The theoretical background to finite element methods is used to understand the basis of present-day geometrical mesh quality indicators. Simple tetrahedral mesh quality measures using both geometrical and solution information are described. Some of the issues in mesh quality for unstructured tetrahedral ...
متن کاملMultiresolution Techniques for the Simplification of Triangular and Tetrahedral Meshes
We study the simplification of triangular and tetrahedral meshes using techniques based on successive edge collapses, as well as the exploitation of the generated multiple levels of detail for the effective processing of the models. Regarding triangular meshes, we present a method for the construction of progressive hulls, by suitable edge collapses; we use the generated hulls for the accelerat...
متن کاملFeature-preserving Adaptive Mesh Generation for Molecular Modeling
In this article we describe a mesh generation toolchain for molecular modeling. We take as inputs the centers and radii of all atoms of a molecule and the toolchain outputs both surface (triangular) and volumetric (tetrahedral) meshes. Experiments on a number of molecules are demonstrated, showing that our toolchain possesses a number of desirable properties: feature-preservation, local adaptiv...
متن کاملA Unified Multigrid Solver for the Navier-stokes Equations on Mixed Element Meshes
A uni ed multigrid solution technique is presented for solving the Euler and Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes equations on unstructured meshes using mixed elements consisting of triangles and quadrilaterals in two dimensions, and of hexahedra, pyramids, prisms and tetrahedra in three dimensions. While the use of mixed elements is by no means a novel idea, the contribution of the paper lies in the...
