“…We presented some preliminary but promising experimental results of our surface mesh smoothing algorithm. We are currently conducting more tests, especially for distributed meshes on parallel machines, and integrating our methods into large-scale scientific simulations at the Center for Simulations of Advanced Rockets at University of Illinois [7,8]. Future directions include more extensive experimental study of our algorithms, detailed comparison against other methods, systematic analysis of normal estimation and feature detection schemes, and extension to estimation of curvatures.…”

Abstract. We present a parallel approach for optimizing surface meshes by redistributing vertices on a feature-aware higher-order reconstruction of a triangulated surface. Our method is based on a novel extension of the fundamental quadric, called the medial quadric. This quadric helps solve some basic geometric problems, including detection of ridges and corners, computation of one-sided normals along ridges, and construction of higher-order approximations of triangulated surfaces. Our new techniques are easy to parallelize and hence are particularly beneficial for large-scale applications.

“…We mention here an ambitious project to make a fullscale simulation for the whole solid propellant rocket. 5 However, knowledge from macro-devices do not scale well for micro-devices. Effects that are usually neglected for the macroscale start to dominate on the microscale.…”

A modelling strategy for a microthruster array based on solid fuel is presented. We review the theory of operation of the microthruster that includes an electrothermal process, ignition, sustained combustion, membrane rupture and gas dynamics. The recommended level of theory is chosen to answer practical engineering questions, so as to make the recommended models feasible to develop and optimize. Special attention is paid to transferring the resulting models to existing software for electrical circuit simulation to permit the development of intelligent electrical driving circuits. The methods of automatic model reduction are presented and the most appropriate method for a microthruster array is chosen.
