A paraboloid fitting technique for calculating curvature from piecewise-linear interface reconstructions on 3D unstructured meshes

Journal Article Jibben, Zechariah Joel ; Carlson, Neil N. ; Francois, Marianne M. - Computers and Mathematics with Applications (Oxford)

In this work, we present a novel method for calculating interface curvature on 3D unstructured meshes from piecewise-linear interface reconstructions typically generated in the volume of fluid method. Interface curvature is a necessary quantity to calculate in order to model surface tension driven flow. Curvature needs only to be computed in cells containing an interface. The approach requires a stencil containing only neighbors sharing a node with a target cell, and calculates curvature from a least-squares paraboloid fit to the interface reconstructions. This involves solving a 6 × 6 symmetric linear system in each mixed cell. We present verification testsmore »« less

Automatic meshing of curved three-dimensional domains: Curving finite elements and curvature-based mesh control

Conference Shephard, M S ; Dey, S ; Georges, M K

Specific issues associated with the automatic generation of finite element meshes for curved geometric domains axe considered. A review of the definition of when a triangulation is a valid mesh, a geometric triangulation, for curved geometric domains is given. Consideration is then given to the additional operations necessary to maintain the validity of a mesh when curved finite elements are employed. A procedure to control the mesh gradations based on the curvature of the geometric model faces is also given.
A three-dimensional time-dependent unstructured tetrahedral-mesh SP{sub N} method

Journal Article Morel, J E ; McGhee, J M ; Larsen, E W - Nuclear Science and Engineering

A three-dimensional time-dependent multigroup SP{sub N} method for unstructured tetrahedral meshes is developed. The SP{sub N} equations are expressed in a canonical form that allows them to be solved using standard diffusion solution techniques in conjunction with source iteration, diffusion-synthetic acceleration, and fission-source acceleration. A computational comparison of this SP{sub N} method with an even-parity S{sub N} method is given.
ATTILA: A three-dimensional, unstructured tetrahedral mesh discrete ordinates transport code

Journal Article Wareing, T A ; McGhee, J M ; Morel, J E - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

Many applications of radiation transport require the accurate modeling of complex three-dimensional geometries. Historically, Monte Carlo codes have been used for such applications. Existing deterministic transport codes were not applied to such problems because of the difficulties of modeling complex three-dimensional geometries with rectangular meshes. The authors have developed a three-dimensional discrete ordinates (S{sub n}) code, ATTILA, which uses linear-discontinuous finite element spatial differencing in conjunction with diffusion-synthetic acceleration (DSA) on an unstructured tetrahedral mesh. This tetrahedral mesh capability enables the authors to efficiently model complex three-dimensional geometries. One interesting and challenging application of neutron and/or gamma-ray transport is nuclearmore »« less
