Accuracy Verification of a 2D Adaptive Mesh Refinement Method Using Backward-Facing Step Flow of Low Reynolds Numbers

open access: yes, 2020
Identifying centers of vortices of fluid flow accurately is one of the accuracy measures for computational methods. After verifying the accuracy of the 2D adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) method in the benchmarks of 2D lid-driven cavity flow, this paper ...

Phase Field Failure Modeling: Brittle‐Ductile Dual‐Phase Microstructures under Compressive Loading

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The approach by Amor and the approach by Miehe and Zhang for asymmetric damage behavior in the phase field method for fracture are compared regarding their fitness for microcrack‐based failure modeling. The comparison is performed for the case of a dual‐phase microstructure with a brittle and a ductile constituent.

Optimal Control Algorithms with Adaptive Time-Mesh Refinement for Kite Power Systems

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
This article addresses the problem of optimizing electrical power generation using kite power systems (KPSs). KPSs are airborne wind energy systems that aim to harvest the power of strong and steady high-altitude winds.

High-resolution numerical simulation of rotating detonation waves with parallel adaptive mesh refinement

open access: yesApplications in Energy and Combustion Science
Simulations of rotating detonation engines are still dominated by solvers on uniform or statically refined meshes. Here, simulations of premixed rotating detonation waves are conducted using the block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (SAMR) technique.

Adaptive Grid Redistribution for a 1D Model of Turbulence and Clouds

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
In global atmospheric models, resolving stratocumulus (Sc) in the vertical is computationally expensive. However, Sc appear only under special meteorological conditions. Therefore, there is motivation to refine the vertical grid levels adaptively.

Influence of Geometric Design on Mechanical Performance of Auxetic Metastructure

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Strategic geometric reinforcement transforms auxetic performance. This study evaluates 3D‐printed arrowhead metastructures, revealing that a modified design with local ring reinforcement suppresses premature failure to achieve superior energy absorption and structural efficiency.

Sledgehamr: Simulating Scalar Fields with Adaptive Mesh Refinement

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Understanding the nonlinear dynamics of coupled scalar fields often necessitates simulations on a 3D mesh. These simulations can be computationally expensive if a large scale separation is involved.
