Volume element model mesh generation strategy and its application in ship thermal analysis
We present a hexahedral mesh generation strategy for the volume element model. The proposed mesh generation strategy is applied in ship thermal analysis. Highly accurate representations of the ship geometry can be achieved. Plausible ship thermal solutions are obtained using a coarse independent mesh. The strategy enhances the overall computational efficiency of the VEM.
