Isogeometric Analysis Methods for High Fidelity Mobility Applications

Abstract

Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) is a next-generation computational method that provides superior accuracy and high-fidelity computational analysis solutions. IGA, because of its special higher-order nature, has several very desirable features in multiscale computation of flow and fluid structure interaction (FSI) problems that are ubiquitous in mobility applications. Every computational analysis starts with a suitable definition of the problem geometry followed by mesh generation for that geometry. However, mesh generation in IGA, such as Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) meshes generation, is not as established and straightforward as mesh generation in the standard discretization methods such as Finite Difference (FD) and Finite Element (FE) methods. To make IGA-based flow and FSI computations even more powerful and more practical, the mesh generation must be less arduous, more straightforward, more automated, and basically as established as it is now for the FD and FE methods.
