    Multilevel elliptic smoothing of large three-dimensional grids

    Author(s): Mastin, C. Wayne
    Abstract: Elliptic grid generation methods have been used for many years to smooth and improve grids generated by algebraic interpolation schemes. However, the elliptic system that must be solved is nonlinear and convergence is ...

    Arc Length Based Grid Distribution For Surface and Volume Grids

    Author(s): Mastin, C. Wayne
    Abstract: Techniques are presented for distributing grid points on parametric surfaces and in volumes according to a specified distribution of arc length. Interpolation techniques are introduced which permit a given distribution of ...

    Application of three-dimensional Bezier patches in grid generation

    Author(s): Mastin, C. Wayne
    Abstract: Bezier and B-spline patches are popular tools in surface modeling. With these methods, a surface is represented by the tensor product of univariate approximations. The extension of this concept to three-dimensions is obvious ...

    Transformation of two and three-dimensional regions by elliptic systems

    Author(s): Mastin, C. Wayne; Thompson, Joe F.
    Abstract: Grid smoothing and orthogonalization procedures were developed and implemented in the construction of two and three dimensional grids. The procedures are based on the variational methods of grid generation. The ...

    Transformation of two and three-dimensional regions by elliptic systems

    Author(s): Mastin, C. Wayne
    Abstract: During this contract period, our work has focused on improvements to elliptic grid generation methods. There are two principle objectives in this project. One objective is to make the elliptic methods more reliable and ...

    Transformation of two and three-dimensional regions by elliptic systems

    Author(s): Mastin, C. Wayne
    Abstract: Several reports are attached to this document which contain the results of our research at the end of this contract period. Three of the reports deal with our work on generating surface grids. One is a preprint of a paper ...

    Interface procedures for overlapping grids

    Author(s): Mastin, C. Wayne
    Abstract: The solution of partial differential equations by means of either implicit or conservative explicit finite-difference methods, on the one hand, or multicomponent overlapping grid schemes on the other, is presently subjected ...

    Transformation of two and three-dimensional regions by elliptic systems

    Author(s): Mastin, C. Wayne
    Abstract: A reliable linear system is presented for grid generation in 2-D and 3-D. The method is robust in the sense that convergence is guaranteed but is not as reliable as other nonlinear elliptic methods in generating nonfolding ...

    Implicit finite difference methods on composite grids

    Author(s): Mastin, C. Wayne
    Abstract: Techniques for eliminating time lags in the implicit finite-difference solution of partial differential equations are investigated analytically, with a focus on transient fluid dynamics problems on overlapping multicomponent ...
