Preface In our course we will consider the volume integral equations in the following form) () () () () () (x f dy y u y b y x y x K x u x a Q m = − − + ∫ , 3 ≤ m. Many important classes of the wave scattering problems can be described by equations of this form; for example, this is the case for problems of electromagnetic and acoustic scattering on 3D transparent bodies. The corresponding inte...

In this paper an evolving surface finite volume method is introduced for the numerical resolution of a transport diffusion problem on a family of moving hypersurfaces. These surfaces are assumed to evolve according to a given motion field. The ingredients of the method are an approximation of the family of surfaces by a family of interpolating simplicial meshes, where grid vertices move on moti...

We present an adaptive remeshing algorithm for meshes of unstructured triangles in two dimensions and unstructured tetrahedra in three dimensions. The algorithm automatically adjusts the size of the elements with time and position in the computational domain in order to resolve the relevant scales in multiscale physical systems to a userprescribed accuracy while minimizing computational cost. T...

In our talk, we propose an adaptive mesh-refining strategy for the cell-centered FVM based on some a posteriori error control for the quantity ‖∇T (u − Iuh)‖L2 . Here, uh ∈ P (T ) denotes the FVM approximation of u and I is a certain interpolation operator. As model example serves the Laplace equation with mixed boundary conditions, where our contributions extend a result of [NIC05]. Moreover, ...

Improved Finite-Volume Method for Radiative Hydrodynamics Alan Wray* Corresponding author: [email protected] * NASA Ames Research Center, USA Abstract: Fully coupled simulations of hydrodynamics and radiative transfer are essential to a number of fields ranging from astrophysics to engineering applications. Of particular interest in this work are hypersonic atmospheric entries and associate...

In this paper, we propose the use of the Level–Set Method as the underlying technology of a volume sculpting system. The main motivation is that this leads to a very generic technique for deformation of volumetric solids. In addition, our method preserves a distance field volume representation. A scaling window is used to adapt the Level– Set Method to local deformations and to allow the user t...
