A voxelization based mesh generation algorithm for numerical models used in foundry engineering
(2012) Szucki, Michał; Suchy, Józef Szczepan
The aim of this study is the adaptation of the voxelization algorithm for the generation of regular computational meshes used in numerical models. The authors concentrate on solutions, which can be applied in a computer modeling of phenomena occurring in the foundry industry. The presented mesh generation process is the STL files based. This file format is generally used in the commercial simulation software. The basic voxelization algorithm extended with such functions as: the input data correctness control (virtual geometry), the formation of meshes consisting of several subdomains corresponding to individual elements of the foundry technology (mould, casting, core, feeder etc.) and the possibility of the mesh local refinement (adaptive grids), is presented in the hereby paper. The described solution is characterized by high efficiency and when combined with the proper numerical model can be successfully implemented in problems related to computer simulation of foundry processes.

Definition and interpolation of discrete metric for mesh generation on 3D surfaces
(2005) Głut, Barbara; Jurczyk, Tomasz
The article concerns the problem of a definition of the control space from a set of discrete data (metric description gathered from different sources) and its influence on the efficiency of the generation process with respect to 2D and 3D surface meshes. Several methods of metric interpolation between these discrete points are inspected, including an automated selection of proper method. Some aspects of the procedures of creation and employment of the mesh control space based on the discrete set of points are presented. The results of using different variations of these methods are also included.

Overview of adaptive and low-rank approximation algorithms for modeling influence of electromagnetic waves generated by cellphone antenna on human head
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2021) Głut, Barbara; Paszyński, Maciej
This paper presents an overview of formulations and algorithms that are dedicated to modeling the influence of electromagnetic waves on the human head. We start from h adaptive approximation of a three-dimensional MRI scan of the human head. Next, we solve the time-harmonic Maxwell equations with a 1.8 GHz cellphone antenna. We compute the specific absorption rate used as the heat source for the Pennes bioheat equation modeling the heat generated by EM waves inside the head. We propose an adaptive algorithm mixed with time-stepping iterations where we simultaneously refine the computational mesh, solve the Maxwell and Pennes equations, and iterate the time steps. We employ the sparse Gaussian elimination algorithm with the low-rank compres-sion of the off-diagonal matrix blocks for the factorization of the matrices. We conclude with the statement that 15 minutes of talking with a 1.8 GHz antenna with one watt of power results in increased brain tissue temperatures (up to 38.4$^{\circ}$C).
