Interactive Elliptic Mesh Generation with SVG and Javascript

SVG and Javascript can be used to create interactive applications and graphical user interfaces. Here is an example of an interactive elliptic mesh generator. (Jun 22 2012)

Smooth Bézier Spline Through Prescribed Points

How do you construct a smooth line through a set of prescribed points? This article shows you how. It also includes an interactive SVG demo that allows you to try it in real-time. (Jun 17 2012)

Efficient Particle Data Structures

Particle codes have very different memory optimization requirements than fluid-based solvers. Here we consider three types of data structures for holding particles that offer an efficient way of adding and removing particles and compare their performance. (Jun 11 2012)

2D Finite Element Method in MATLAB

This tutorial discusses how to generate unstructured meshes using a Matlab code distmesh.m and how to use the mesh in a Matlab Finite Element Solver to solve the Poisson's equation on an unstructured domain. (Jun 8 2012)

Interpolation using an arbitrary quadrilateral

This article describes how to interpolate data between a particle and an arbitrary quadrilateral cell used in non-Cartesian grids. The technique is illustrated with several Matlab / Octave examples. The examples show how pick points located inside the polygon, how to classify their position, and how to scatter and gather particle data. (Jun 4 2012)
