Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) surfaces are commonly used within Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools to represent geometric objects. When using isogeometric analysis (IGA), it is possible to use such NURBS geometries for numerical analysis directly. Analyzing fluid flows, however, requires complex three-dimensional geometries to represent flow domains. Defining a parametrization of such volumetric domains using NURBS can be challenging and is still an ongoing topic in the IGA community. With the recently developed NURBS-enhanced finite element method (NEFEM), the favorable geometric characteristics of NURBS are used within a standard finite element method. This is achieved by enhancing the elements touching the boundary by using the NURBS geometry itself. In the current work, a new variation of NEFEM is introduced, which is suitable for three-dimensional space-time finite element formulations. The proposed method makes use of a new mapping which results in a non-Cartesian formulation suitable for fluidstructure interaction (FSI). This is demonstrated by combining the method with an IGA formulation in a strongly-coupled partitioned framework for solving FSI problems. The framework yields a fully spline-based representation of the fluid-structure interface through a single NURBS. The coupling conditions at the fluid-structure interface are enforced through a Robin-Neumann type coupling scheme. This scheme is particularly useful when considering incompressible fluids in fully Dirichlet-bounded and curved problems, as it satisfies the incompressibility constraint on the fluid for each step within the coupling procedure.

In this paper, the pressure correctionfinite element method is proposed for the 2D/3D time-dependent thermomicropolarfluid equations. Thefirst-order and second-order backward difference formulas (BDF) are adopted to approximate the time derivative term, stability analysis and error estimation of the first-order semi-discrete scheme are proved. Finally, some numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method, which can be used to simulate the problem with high Rayleigh number.

This paper proposes an Allen-Cahn Chan-Vese model to settle the multi-phase image segmentation. We first integrate the Allen--Cahn term and the Chan--Vese fitting energy term to establish an energy functional, whose minimum locates the segmentation contour. The subsequent minimization process can be attributed to variational calculation on fitting intensities and the solution approximation of several Allen-Cahn equations, wherein $n$ Allen-Cahn equations are enough to partition $m = 2^n$ segments. The derived Allen-Cahn equations are solved by efficient numerical solvers with exponential time integrations and finite difference space discretization. The discrete maximum bound principle and energy stability of the proposed numerical schemes are proved. Finally, the capability of our segmentation method is verified in various experiments for different types of images.

In this paper, we propose an extended mixed finite element method for elliptic interface problems. By adding some stabilization terms, we present a mixed approximation form based on Brezzi-Douglas-Marini element space and the piecewise constant function space, and show that the discrete inf-sup constant is independent of how the interface intersects the triangulation. Furthermore, we derive that the optimal convergence holds independent of the location of the interface relative to the mesh. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to verify our theoretical results.
