UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Good quality meshes are extensively used for finding approximate solutions for partial differential equations for fluid flow in two dimensional surfaces. We present an overview of existing algorithms for refinement and generation of triangular meshes. We introduce the concept of node stability in the refinement of Delaunay triangulation. We present two algorithms for generating stable refinement of Delaunay triangulation. We also present an experimental investigation of a triangulation refinement algorithm based on the location of the center of gravity and the location of the center of circumcircle. The results show that the center of gravity based refinement is more effective …

Differential equations play a significant role in many disciplines of science and engineering. Solving and implementing Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) and partial Differential Equations (PDEs) effectively are very essential as most complex dynamic systems are modeled based on these equations. High Performance Computing (HPC) methodologies are required to compute and implement complex and data intensive applications modeled by differential equations at higher speed. There are, however, some challenges and limitations in implementing dynamic system, modeled by non-linear ordinary differential equations, on digital hardware. Modeling an integrator involves data approximation which results in accuracy error if data values are not considered …
