Adaptive Finite Elements with Large Aspect Ratio. Application to Aluminium Electrolysis

Paride Passelli

The goal of this work is to use anisotropic adaptive finite elements for the numerical simulation of aluminium electrolysis. The anisotropic adaptive criteria are based on a posteriori error estimates derived for simplified problems. First, we consider an ...

A graph convolutional autoencoder approach to model order reduction for parametrized PDEs

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Federico Pichi

The present work proposes a framework for nonlinear model order reduction based on a Graph Convolutional Autoencoder (GCA-ROM). In the reduced order modeling (ROM) context, one is interested in obtaining real -time and many-query evaluations of parametric ...

An adaptive phase field approach to 3D internal crack growth in rocks

Alexandra Roma Larisa Kushnir, Tao Xu, Michael Heap

Modeling the 3D internal crack under compression entails complex fracture mechanics (mode I-II-III fracture), resulting in substantial computational costs and challenges in characterizing fracture morphology characterization for Phase Field Method (PFM) si ...

Latent Representation of Computational Fluid Dynamics Meshes and Application to Airfoil Aerodynamics

Pascal Fua, Benoît Alain René Guillard, Zhen Wei

Mesh manipulation is central to computational fluid dynamics. However, creating appropriate computational meshes often involves substantial manual intervention that has to be repeated each time the target shape changes. To address this problem, we propose ...

AMER INST AERONAUTICS ASTRONAUTICS2023

A method for enforcing smoothness constraints on surface meshes produced by a Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCNN) including the steps of reading image data from a memory, the image data including two-dimensional image data representing a three-dimens ...

Region Extraction in Mesh Intersection

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Emiliano Cirillo

Region extraction is a very common task in both Computer Science and Engineering with several applications in object recognition and motion analysis, among others. Most of the literature focuses on regions delimited by straight lines, often in the special ...

A multigrid method for PDE-constrained optimization with uncertain inputs

Fabio Nobile, Tommaso Vanzan

We present a multigrid algorithm to solve efficiently the large saddle-point systems of equations that typically arise in PDE-constrained optimization under uncertainty. The algorithm is based on a collective smoother that at each iteration sweeps over the ...

A virtual microstructure generator for 3D stone masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Mahmoud S. M. Shaqfa

Detailed micromodel simulations of stone masonry walls require as input a 3D mesh that represents a realistic arrangement of stones in the masonry wall. In this paper, we constructed the first 3D masonry microstructures to derive 2D and 3D finite or discre ...
