We present an efficient and accurate immersed boundary (IB) finite element (FE) method for numerically solving the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. Particular emphasis is given to internal flows with complex geometries (blood flow in vasculature system). IB methods are computationally costly flows, mainly due large percentage of grid points that lie outside domain. In this study, we appl...

We present the design for, and implementation of, a flexible and robust parallel modular finite element (FEM) framework called ModFEM. The design is based on reusable modules which use narrow and well-defined interfaces to cooperate. At the top of the architecture, there are problem-dependent modules. Problem-dependent modules can be additionally grouped together by “super-modules”. The structu...

Strip profile control in cold rolling of thin strip is a difficult and challenge problem found in industry. Currently using the novel type of strip rolling mill, such as the work roll crossing and shifting is the one of the main methods to control the strip profile quality in cold rolling. In this paper, 3-D finite element simulation models of the thin strip profile in cold rolling for the work...
