Abstract:Complex single/multi-body structures are generally found in ship and ocean engineering. They have the smooth, sharp, concave, and convex surface features in common. Precise modeling of the structures is the basis of numerical simulation. However, the most widely used explicit modeling method requires considerable manual operations. The result is also difficult to reproduce. Therefore, this paper presents a Radial basis function (RBF) based hierarchical (h-) adaptive Cartesian grid method. The RBF is introduced… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
