Conforming restricted Delaunay mesh generation for piecewise smooth complexes

A Fast Algorithm for Well-Spaced Points and Approximate Delaunay Graphs

We present a new algorithm that produces a well-spaced superset of points conforming to a given input set in any dimension with guaranteed optimal output size. We also provide an approximate Delaunay graph on the output points. Our algorithm runs in expected time $O(2^{O(d)}(n\log n + m))$, where $n$ is the input size, $m$ is the output point set size, and $d$ is the ambient dimension. The constants only depend on the desired element quality bounds. To gain this new efficiency, the algorithm approximately maintains the Voronoi diagram of the current set of points by storing a superset of the D…

Delaunay triangulation of manifolds

We present an algorithm for producing Delaunay triangulations of manifolds. The algorithm can accommodate abstract manifolds that are not presented as submanifolds of Euclidean space. Given a set of sample points and an atlas on a compact manifold, a manifold Delaunay complex is produced provided the transition functions are bi-Lipschitz with a constant close to 1, and the sample points meet a local density requirement; no smoothness assumptions are required. If the transition functions are smooth, the output is a triangulation of the manifold. The output complex is naturally endowed with a pi…

Sampling Conditions for Conforming Voronoi Meshing by the VoroCrust Algorithm

We study the problem of decomposing a volume bounded by a smooth surface into a collection of Voronoi cells. Unlike the dual problem of conforming Delaunay meshing, a principled solution to this problem for generic smooth surfaces remained elusive. VoroCrust leverages ideas from $α$-shapes and the power crust algorithm to produce unweighted Voronoi cells conforming to the surface, yielding the first provably-correct algorithm for this problem. Given an $ε$-sample on the bounding surface, with a weak $σ$-sparsity condition, we work with the balls of radius $δ$ times the local feature size cente…

A 3D Advancing-Front Delaunay Mesh Refinement Algorithm

I present a 3D advancing-front mesh refinement algorithm that generates a constrained Delaunay mesh for any piecewise linear complex (PLC) and extend this algorithm to produce truly Delaunay meshes for any PLC. First, as in my recently published 2D algorithm, I split the input line segments such that the length of the subsegments is asymptotically proportional to the local feature size (LFS). For each facet, I refine the mesh such that the edge lengths and the radius of the circumcircle of every triangular element are asymptotically proportional to the LFS. Finally, I refine the volume mesh to…

An Interface Preserving Moving Mesh in Multiple Space Dimensions

An interface preserving moving mesh algorithm in two or higher dimensions is presented. It resolves a moving $(d-1)$-dimensional manifold directly within the $d$-dimensional mesh, which means that the interface is represented by a subset of moving mesh cell-surfaces. The underlying mesh is a conforming simplicial partition that fulfills the Delaunay property. The local remeshing algorithms allow for strong interface deformations. We give a proof that the given algorithms preserve the interface after interface deformation and remeshing steps. Originating from various numerical methods, data is …
