Author:Jones, Bevan W SDate: 2020The increase in the number of commercial space missions has resulted in the increased need for efficient and effective spacecraft designs. A key contributor to the accuracy of space vehicle simulation is the prediction of fuel slosh loads ...Read more
Author:Jones, Bevan W S; Malan, Arnaud G; van Rooyen, Jacobus ADate:2015Presented in this paper is an accuracy enhancing r-refinement scheme based on the ballvertex method [1, 2]. Due the success of the method in mesh movement, this work seeks to extend its use to error minimization for computational fluid dynamics ...Read more
Author:Jones, Bevan W SDate:2015This project investigates the use of a truss network, a structural mechanics model, as a metaphor for adapting a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) mesh. The objective of such adaptation is to increase computational effi- ciency by reducing ...Read more
