Discrete Conservation Law on Curved Surfaces

چکیده
In this paper we shall introduce a simple, effective numerical method for finding differential operators for scalar and vector-valued functions on surfaces. The key idea of our algorithm is to develop an intrinsic and unified way to compute directly the partial derivatives of functions defined on triangular meshes which are the discretization of regular surfaces under consideration. Most importantly, the divergence theorem and conservation laws on triangular meshes are fulfilled.

A Numerical Method for Diffusion and Cahn-Hilliard Equations on Evolving Spherical Surfaces
Abstract—In this paper, we present a simple effective numerical geometric method to estimate the divergence of a vector field over a curved surface. The conservation law is an important principle in physics and mathematics. However, many well-known numerical methods for solving diffusion equations do not obey conservation laws. Our presented method in this paper combines the divergence theorem ...
متن کاملSemi-Analytical Solution for Free Vibration Analysis of Thick Laminated Curved Panels with Power-Law Distribution FG Layers and Finite Length Via Two-Dimensional GDQ Method
This paper deals with free vibration analysis of thick Laminated curved panels with finite length, based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory. Because of using two-dimensional generalized differential quadrature method, the present approach makes possible vibration analysis of cylindrical panels with two opposite axial edges simply supported and arbitrary boundary conditions including Fre...

متن کاملOn the application of slip boundary condition on curved boundaries
Hydrodynamic simulations of sloshing phenomena often involve the application of slip boundary condition at the wetted surfaces. If these surfaces are curved, the ambiguous nature of the normal vector in the discretized problem can interfere with the application of such a boundary condition. Even the use of consistent normal vectors, preferred from the point of view of conservation, does not ass...
متن کاملMicrophase separation patterns in diblock copolymers on curved surfaces using a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation.
We investigate microphase separation patterns on curved surfaces in three-dimensional space by numerically solving a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation for diblock copolymers. In our model, a curved surface is implicitly represented as the zero level set of a signed distance function. We employ a discrete narrow band grid that neighbors the curved surface. Using the closest point method, we apply ...
