Title: Design and development of an adaptive mesh manipulation module for detailed FEM simulation of flows
Abstract: We present a strategy to develop a mesh manipulation module of a flexible and robust adaptive finite element application that will perform accurate modelling of flows, handling complicated computational domains. We describe guidelines for developing such a module focusing on three aspects: parallelism on domain and computational node level, improving speed through better cache hit-ratio and assuring flexibility thanks to modern object oriented programming techniques. In subsequent development the module is intended to bu used in multi-physics and multi-scale simulations of fluid-structure interactions.
