Spectral boundary conditions for volumetric frame fields design

Abstract

Using the 4th and the 3rd degree spherical harmonics as the representations for volumetric frames, we describe a simple algebraic technique for combining multiple frame orientation constraints into a single quadratic penalty function. This technique allows to solve volumetric frame fields design problems using a coarse-to-fine strategy on hierarchical grids with immersed boundaries. These results were presented for the first time at the FRAMES 2023 European workshop on meshing.
