Isogeometric analysis (IGA) consists of using computer-aided design (CAD) models defining the geometry of the computational domain using both B-splines and nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS) to represent the unknowns that are the solution of a partial differential equation using a finite element principle. In this paper, we review the main ideas of IGA and apply it to a reduced magnetohydrod...

We propose a new methodology for the numerical solution of the isothermal Navier-StokesKorteweg equations. Our methodology is based on a semi-discrete Galerkin method invoking functional entropy variables, a generalization of classical entropy variables, and a new time integration scheme. We show that the resulting fully discrete scheme is unconditionally stable-in-energy, second-order time-acc...

In automotive industries, panel acoustic contribution analysis (PACA) is used to investigate the contributions of body panels pressure at a certain point interest. Currently, PACA implemented mostly by either experiment-based methods or traditional numerical methods. However, these schemes are effort-consuming and inefficient in solving engineering problems, thereby restraining further developm...

We consider the stiffness matrices coming from the Galerkin B-spline isogeometric analysis approximation of classical elliptic problems. By exploiting specific spectral properties compactly described by a symbol, we design efficient multigrid methods for the fast solution of the related linear systems. We prove the optimality of the two-grid methods (in the sense that their convergence rate is ...

We aim at constructing a smooth basis for isogeometric function spaces on domains of reduced geometric regularity. In this context an isogeometric function is the composition of a piecewise rational function with the inverse of a piecewise rational geometry parameterization. We consider two types of singular parameterizations, domains where a part of the boundary is mapped onto one point and do...

We present a novel technique for segmenting a three-dimensional solid with a 3-vertex-connected edge graph consisting of only convex edges into a collection of topological hexahedra. Our method is based on the edge graph, which is defined by the sharp edges between the boundary surfaces of the solid. We repeatedly decompose the solid into smaller solids until all of them belong to a certain cla...
