This paper presents a PDE-based planar parameterization framework with support for Truncated Hierarchical B-Splines (THB-splines). For this, we adopt the a posteriori refinement strategy of Dual Weighted Residual and present several adaptive numerical schemes for the purpose of approximating an inversely harmonic geometry parameterization. Hereby, the combination of goal-oriented a posteriori strategies and THB-enabled local refinement avoids over-refinement, in particular in geometries with complex boundaries. To control the parametric properties of the outcome, we introduce the concept of domain refinement. Hereby, the properties of the domain into which the mapping maps inversely harmonically, are optimized in order to fine-tune the parametric properties of the recomputed geometry parameterization.
We consider two-stage scattered data fitting with truncated hierarchical B-splines (THB-splines) for the adaptive reconstruction of industrial models. The first stage of the scheme is devoted to the computation of local least squares variational spline approximations, exploiting a simple fairness functional to handle data distributions with a locally varying density of points. Hierarchical spline quasi-interpolation based on THB-splines is considered in the second stage of the method to construct the adaptive spline surface approximating the whole scattered data set and a suitable strategy to …

The design of globally $C^s$-smooth ($s \geq 1$) isogeometric spline spaces over multi-patch geometries is a current and challenging topic of research in the framework of isogeometric analysis. In this work, we extend the recent methods [25,28] and [31-33] for the construction of $C^1$-smooth and $C^2$-smooth isogeometric spline spaces over particular planar multi-patch geometries to the case of $C^s$-smooth isogeometric multi-patch spline spaces of an arbitrary selected smoothness $s \geq 1$. More precisely, for any $s \geq 1$, we study the space of $C^s$-smooth isogeometric spline functions …
Adaptive isogeometric phase-field modeling of the Cahn-Hilliard equation: Suitably graded hierarchical refinement and coarsening on multi-patch geometries
To exploit the advantageous properties of isogeometric analysis (IGA) in a scan-based setting, it is important to extract a smooth geometric domain from the scan data (e.g., voxel data). IGA-suitable domains can be constructed by convoluting the grayscale data using B-splines. A negative side-effect of this convolution technique is, however, that it can induce topological changes in the process of smoothing when features with a size similar to that of the voxels are encountered. This manuscript presents an enhanced B-spline-based segmentation procedure using a refinement strategy based on trun…
This paper presents a novel spline-based meshing technique that allows for usage of boundary-conforming meshes for unsteady flow and temperature simulations in co-rotating twin-screw extruders. Spline-based descriptions of arbitrary screw geometries are generated using Elliptic Grid Generation. They are evaluated in a number of discrete points to yield a coarse classical mesh. The use of a special control mapping allows to fine-tune properties of the coarse mesh like orthogonality at the boundaries. The coarse mesh is used as a 'scaffolding' to generate a boundary-conforming mesh out of a fine…
A sphere is a fundamental geometric object widely used in (computer aided) geometric design. It possesses rational parameterizations but no parametric polynomial parameterization exists. The present study provides an approach to the optimal approximation of equilateral spherical triangles by parametric polynomial patches if the measure of quality is the (simplified) radial error. As a consequence, optimal approximations of the unit sphere by parametric polynomial spline patches underlying on particular regular spherical triangulations arising from a tetrahedron, an octahedron and an icosahedro…
We propose an adaptive mesh refinement strategy for immersed isogeometric analysis, with application to steady heat conduction and viscous flow problems. The proposed strategy is based on residual-based error estimation, which has been tailored to the immersed setting by the incorporation of appropriately scaled stabilization and boundary terms. Element-wise error indicators are elaborated for the Laplace and Stokes problems, and a THB-spline-based local mesh refinement strategy is proposed. The error estimation .and adaptivity procedure is applied to a series of benchmark problems, demonstrat…
The first step towards applying isogeometric analysis techniques to solve PDE problems on a given domain consists in generating an analysis-suitable mapping operator between parametric and physical domains with one or several patches from no more than a description of the boundary contours of the physical domain. A subclass of the multitude of the available parameterization algorithms are those based on the principles of Elliptic Grid Generation (EGG) which, in their most basic form, attempt to approximate a mapping operator whose inverse is composed of harmonic functions. The main challenge l…
