There has been a widespread emergence of computing devices in the past few years that go beyond the capabilities of traditional desktop computers. These devices have varying input/output characteristics, modalities and interaction mechanisms. However, users want to use the same kinds of applications and access the same data and information on these appliances that they can access on their deskt...

Embedded Boundary Methods (EBMs) [1] for the solution of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems are typically formulated in the Eulerian setting, which makes them more attractive than Chimera and Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian methods when the structure undergoes large structural motions and/or deformations. In the presence of viscous flows however, the...

This paper presents a computational method for quadrilateral meshing of a thin, or narrow, two-dimensional domain for finite element analysis. The proposed method creates a well-shaped single-layered, multi-layered, or partially multi-layered quadrilateral mesh. Element sizes can be uniform or graded. A high quality, layered quadrilateral mesh is often required for finite element analysis of a ...

This paper proposes a theoretical framework in which generalized hierarchical approaches for the adaptive finite element mesh refinement can be easily designed. Such a generalized approach aims at coupling the classical h version hierarchical adaptive finite element method and the adaptive remeshing strategy. On one hand, the hierarchical aspect should provide such an approach with its iterativ...

Over the last decade significant new technologies have been developed which allow the scientist/engineer to design reliable programs for simulating the complex physics involved in turbulent flow combustion devices. In the area of numerical algorithm development, a significant step forward has come with the maturation of unstructured grid methods, which provide a host of benefits over traditiona...

Multicast routing is one of the most important services in Multi Radio Multi Channel (MRMC) Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). Multicast routing performance in WMNs could be improved by choosing the best routes and the routes that have minimum interference to reach multicast receivers. In this paper we want to address the multicast routing problem for a given channel assignment in WMNs. The channels...

The Bank-Holst parallel adaptive meshing paradigm [2, 3, 1] is utilised to solve (1) in a combination of domain decomposition and adaptivity. It can be summarised as follows: Step I Mesh Partition: Starting with a coarse mesh TH , the domain is partitioned into non-overlapping subdomains: Ω = ∪pi=1Ωi. Step II Adaptive Meshing: Each processor i is provided with TH and instructed to sequentially ...
