  • High Order Finite Elements SN Transport in X-Y Geometry on Meshes with Curved Surfaces in the Thick Diffusion Limit

    Creator:
    Woods, Douglas N.
    Abstract:
    The high-order finite element S[subscript N] transport equations are solved on several test problems to investigate the behavior of the discretization method on meshes with curved edges in X-Y geometry. Simpler problems ensured the correct implementation of MFEM, the general fi nite element library employed. A convergence study using the...

  • Fluid-structure interaction analysis with the particle finite element method

    Creator:
    Zhu, Minjie
    Abstract:
    To facilitate the evaluation and design of structures subjected to fluid loading, a study of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using the particle finite element method (PFEM) is presented to approximate the responses and sensitivities of structures which interact with fluid. A wide range of structural types are permissible by making no...

  • A numerical wave tank based on coupled potential flow-viscous flow model

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yi
    Abstract:
    In this study, a coupled potential flow-viscous flow model is used for numerical wave tank simulation. The solver satisfies all the requirements for such a simulation environment. The coupling scheme is based on a non-overlapping heterogeneous domain decomposition method. In this method, the flow domain consists of two subdomains. In...
