This paper discusses the problem that making the air flowing into the room maximized by rotating the windows. Two models are built for rotary windows with 2 and 3 sashes respectively. Based on these models and the assumption of wind blowing from different directions with equal chance, the optimal way of opening windows is calculated by using Pascal programs on computer. Finally, the optimal design for window ventilation is found via comparing maximum value of wind quantity in two situations.

In this paper, we present a mixed generalized multiscale finite element method (GMsFEM) for solving flow in heterogeneous media. Our approach constructs multiscale basis functions following a GMsFEM framework and couples these basis functions using a mixed finite element method, which allows us to obtain a mass conservative velocity field. To construct multiscale basis functions for each coarse edge, we design a snapshot space that consists of fine-scale velocity fields supported in a union of two coarse regions that share the common interface. The snapshot vectors have zero Neumann boundary conditions on the outer boundaries, and we prescribe their values on the common interface. We describe several spectral decompositions in the snapshot space motivated by the analysis. In the paper, we also study oversampling approaches that enhance the accuracy of mixed GMsFEM. A main idea of

In the research of computer vision and machine perception, 3D objects are usually represented by 2-manifold triangular meshes M. In this paper, we present practical and efficient algorithms to construct iso-contours, bisectors, and Voronoi diagrams of point sites onM, based on an exact geodesic metric. Compared to euclidean metric spaces, the Voronoi diagrams onMexhibit many special properties that fail all of the existing euclidean Voronoi algorithms. To provide practical algorithms for constructing geodesicmetric- based Voronoi diagrams onM, this paper studies the analytic structure of iso-contours, bisectors, and Voronoi diagrams onM. After a necessary preprocessing of model M, practical algorithms are proposed for quickly obtaining full information about iso-contours, bisectors, and Voronoi diagrams on M. The complexity of the construction algorithms is also analyzed. Finally, three interesting applications—surface sampling and reconstruction, 3D skeleton extraction, and point pattern analysis—are presented that show the potential power of the proposed algorithms in pattern analysis.
