Applied Math Colloquium
Title: Fast Marching Methods: Time Advancement and Non-Graded Cartesian Grids
Speaker: David Salac, Department of Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics, Northwestern University
Abstract: Previous implementations of the fast marching method for
level sets have been limited to the reinitialization and
velocity extension procedures. Here the fast marching
method is adapted for use as a
time-advancement scheme. The scheme avoids the time-step
restrictions of standard PDE-based level set advancement
and is capable of modeling
interface velocities which contain a sign change.
Unlike other unconditionally-stable time-advancement
methods, such as the semi-implicit
level set method, it is not necessary to solve a
non-linear set of implicit equations.
This fast marching method scheme
will also be demonstrated for use on non-graded
Cartesian grids with adaptive remeshing.
We use quadtree data structures and an automated
meshing algorithm to describe general shapes in two dimensions.
Combining the fast marching method with non-graded
Cartesian grids results in a scheme which is
both fast and memory efficient. This will
allow for the investigation of material systems which
would be difficult using other methods.
This talk is part of the ESAM RTG seminar series.
