Background and objective: Causes for nasal airway obstruction (NAO) are many but septum deviation is the most prevalent etiology. A deviated septum affects the airflow dynamics in the human nasal cavity, which in turn affects the physiological functions ...

Addressing Integration Error for Polygonal Finite Elements Through Polynomial Projections: A Patch Test Connection [PDF]
Polygonal finite elements generally do not pass the patch test as a result of quadrature error in the evaluation of weak form integrals. In this work, we examine the consequences of lack of polynomial consistency and show that it can lead to a ...

A Mesh Deformation Method for CFD-Based Hull form Optimization
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an effective tool for ship resistance prediction and hull form optimization. A three-dimensional volume mesh is essential for CFD simulation, and mesh generation requires much time and effort.

Penalty Virtual Element Method for the 3D Incompressible Flow on Polyhedron Mesh
In this paper, a penalty virtual element method (VEM) on polyhedral mesh for solving the 3D incompressible flow is proposed and analyzed. The remarkable feature of VEM is that it does not require an explicit computation of the trial and test space ...

Geometric Model Checking of Continuous Space [PDF]
Topological Spatial Model Checking is a recent paradigm where model checking techniques are developed for the topological interpretation of Modal Logic. The Spatial Logic of Closure Spaces, SLCS, extends Modal Logic with reachability connectives that, in

An Analysis of Finite Element Approximation in Electrical Impedance Tomography [PDF]
We present a finite element analysis of electrical impedance tomography for reconstructing the conductivity distribution from electrode voltage measurements by means of Tikhonov regularization. Two popular choices of the penalty term, i.e., $H^1(\Omega)$-

A Virtual Element Method for elastic and inelastic problems on polytope meshes [PDF]
We present a Virtual Element Method (VEM) for possibly nonlinear elastic and inelastic problems, mainly focusing on a small deformation regime. The numerical scheme is based on a low-order approximation of the displacement field, as well as a suitable ...
