Achieving accurate numerical results of hydrodynamic loads based on the potential-flow theory is very challenging for structures with sharp edges, due to the singular behavior of the local-flow velocities. In this paper, we introduce the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) to solve fluid-structure interaction problems involving sharp edges on structures. Four different FEM solvers, including conventional linear and quadratic FEMs as well as their corresponding XF

In marine offshore engineering, cost-efficient simulation of unsteady water waves and their nonlinear interaction with bodies are important to address a broad range of engineering applications at increasing fidelity and scale. We consider a fully nonlinear potential flow (FNPF) model discretized using a Galerkin spectral element method to serve as a basis for handling both wave propagation and wave-body interaction with high computational efficiency within a single modellingapproach. We design and propose an efficientO(n)-scalable computational procedure based on geometric p-multigrid for solving the Laplace problem in the numerical scheme. The fluid volume and the geometric features of complex bodies is represented accurately using high-order polynomial basis functions and unstructured meshes with curvilinear prism elements. The new p-multigrid spectralelement model can take advantage of the high-order polynomial basis and thereby avoid generating a hierarchy of geometric meshes with changing number of elements as required in geometric h-multigrid approaches. We provide numerical benchmarks for the algorithmic and numerical efficiency of the iterative geometric p-multigrid solver. Results of numerical experiments are presented for wave propagation and for wave-body interaction in an advanced case for focusing design waves interacting with a FPSO. Our study shows, that the use of iterative geometric p-multigrid methods for theLaplace problem can significantly improve run-time efficiency of FNPF simulators.
For the Hodge--Laplace equation in finite element exterior calculus, we introduce several families of discontinuous Galerkin methods in the extended Galerkin framework. For contractible domains, this framework utilizes seven fields and provides a unifying inf-sup analysis with respect to all discretization and penalty parameters. It is shown that the proposed methods can be hybridized as a reduced two-field formulation.
In this paper, a stabilized extended finite element method is proposed for Stokes interface problems on unfitted triangulation elements which do not require the interface align with the triangulation. The velocity solution and pressure solution on each side of the interface are separately expanded in the standard nonconforming piecewise linear polynomials and the piecewise constant polynomials, respectively. Harmonic weighted fluxes and arithmetic fluxes are used across the interface and cut edges (segment of the edges cut by the interface), respectively. Extra stabilization terms involving velocity and pressure are added to ensure the stable inf-sup condition. We show a priori error estimates under additional regularity hypothesis. Moreover, the errors {in energy and $L^2$ norms for velocity and the error in $L^2$ norm for pressure} are robust with respect to the viscosity {and independent of the location of the interface}. Results of numerical experiments are presented to {support} the theoretical analysis.
We introduce a hybrid method to couple continuous Galerkin finite element methods and high-order finite difference methods in a nonconforming multiblock fashion. The aim is to optimize computational efficiency when complex geometries are present. The proposed coupling technique requires minimal changes in the existing schemes while maintaining strict stability, accuracy, and energy conservation. Results are demonstrated on linear and nonlinear scalar conservation laws in two spatial dimensions.
By improving the trace finite element method, we developed another higher-order trace finite element method by integrating on the surface with exact geometry description. This method restricts the finite element space on the volume mesh to the surface accurately, and approximates Laplace-Beltrami operator on the surface by calculating the high-order numerical integration on the exact surface directly. We employ this method to calculate the Laplace-Beltrami equation and the Laplace-Beltrami eigenvalue problem. Numerical error analysis shows that this method has an optimal convergence order in both problems. Numerical experiments verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis. The algorithm is more accurate and easier to implement than the existing high-order trace finite element method.
