Multigrid Reduced in Time for Isogeometric Analysis

Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) can be seen as the natural extension of the Finite Element Method (FEM) to high-order B-spline basis functions. Combined with a time inte- gration scheme within the method of lines, IgA has become a viable alternative to FEM for time-dependent problems. However, as processors' clock speeds are no longer increasing but...

Phase Field-Based Incompressible Two-Component Liquid Flow Simulation

In this work, we consider a Cahn–Hilliard phase field-based computational model for immiscible and incompressible two-component liquid flows with interfacial phenomena. This diffuse-interface complex-fluid model is given by the incompressible Navier–Stokes–Cahn–Hilliard (NSCH) equations. The coupling of the flow and phase field equations is...

High-Order Isogeometric Methods for Compressible Flows: II: Compressible Euler Equations

This work extends the high-resolution isogeometric analysis approach established in chapter “High-Order Isogeometric Methods for Compressible Flows. I: Scalar Conservation Laws” (Jaeschke and Möller: High-order isogeometric methods for compressible flows. I. Scalar conservation Laws. In: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on...

High-Order Isogeometric Methods for Compressible Flows: I: Scalar Conservation Laws

Isogeometric analysis was applied very successfully to many problem classes like linear elasticity, heat transfer and incompressible flow problems but its application to compressible flows is very rare. However, its ability to accurately represent complex geometries used in industrial applications makes IGA a suitable tool for the analysis of...

Spline-based meshing techniques for industrial applications

Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) has become an accepted framework for the mod-elling, simulation and optimization (MSO) of engineering processes. However, the fully automatized generation of analysis-suitable parameterizations of geometries as they arise in practical workflows is still a challenging task, which often requires application-specific...

Efficient Multigrid based solvers for isogeometric analysis

Introduced in [1], Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) has become widely accepted in academia and industry. However, solving the resulting linear systems remains a challenging task. For instance, the condition number of the Poisson operator scales quadratically with the mesh width h, but, in contrast to standard Finite Elements, exponentially with the...
