Generating a full 3D Model of The Windmill (Molen de Roos)

Merging interior and exterior laser scanning point clouds of the historical windmill, completing the missing parts from airborne laser scanning data and trying different mesh generation methods for full 3D windmill model generation in order to be able to perform virtual visits in the future.

Mesh generation in archipelagos

A new mesh size field is presented that is specifically designed for efficient meshing of highly irregular oceanic domains: archipelagos. The new approach is based on the standard mesh size field that uses the proximity to the nearest coastline. Here, the proximities to the two nearest coastlines are used to calculate the distance between two...

Adaptive Control Space Structure for Anisotropic Mesh Generation

The article concerns problem of automated generation of anisotropic finite element meshes on 3D surfaces. The meshes are created using a modification of Delaunay incremental insertion algorithm working in Riemannian space (using metric transformation approach). During the meshing process the generator relies on a special structure (called...

Large Eddy Simulation of the flow around a wind turbine blade

Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of incompressible turbulent flow around a wind turbine blade at a chord Reynolds number of 5000 are performed using high-order spectral/hp element method (SEM). The method and the early results of the simulations are presented. Some requirements with respect to mesh generation for the SEM concerning h- and p...
