High Order Edge Elements on Simplicial Meshes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low order edge elements are widely used for electromagnetic field problems. Higher order edge approximations are receiving increasing interest but their definition become rather complex. In this paper we propose a simple definition for Whitney edge elements of polynomial degree higher than one. We give a geometrical localization of all degrees of freedom over particular edges and provide a basis for these elements on simplicial meshes. As for Whitney edge elements of degree one, the basis is expressed only in terms of the barycentric coordinates of the simplex. Mathematics Subject Classification. 78M10, 65N30, 68U20.

Encoding Level-of-Detail Tetrahedral Meshes
Level-Of-Detail (LOD) techniques can be a valid support to the analysis and visualization of volume data sets of large size. In our previous work, we have defined a general LOD model for d-dimensional simplicial meshes, called a MultiTessellation (MT), which consists of a partially ordered set of mesh updates. Here, we consider an instance of the MT for tetrahedral meshes, called a Half-Edge MT...
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...
متن کاملSimplification of Tetrahedral Meshes Using a Quadratic Error Metric
In order to effectively visualize the results of huge numerical simulations it is critical that the size of datasets be efficiently reduced to a manageable size. Various methods have been developed to address this problem by constructing sequences of tetrahedral meshes approximating scalar-valued functions. Several methods rely on iterative vertex insertion. For example, methods described by Ha...
متن کاملOn a Bisection Algorithm That Produces Conforming Locally Refined Simplicial Meshes
First we introduce a mesh density function that serves as a criterion to decide, where a simplicial mesh should be fine (dense) and where it should be coarse. Further, we propose a new bisection algorithm that chooses for bisection an edge in a given mesh associated with the maximum value of the mesh density function. Dividing this edge at its midpoint, we correspondingly bisect all simplices s...
