Efficient radial basis function mesh deformation methods for aircraft icing

This paper presents an approach to update the moving ice boundary resulting from aircraft icing simulations using radial basis function mesh deformation techniques. State-of-the-art surface and volume point reduction schemes are used reduce computational cost of deformation. The data which utilised include multi-level greedy selection reduction. reduces number control points increase efficiency interpolation operation. While improves operation is important for large sets. assesses capabilities both two three-dimensional problems. Furthermore, effectiveness technique assessed local, non-smooth deformations global, smooth deformations. convergence history in terms cost. location selected near accretion illustrates efficacy method localised results show that performs well data-reduction this work represent a significant improvement standard problems comprising data-sets typical
