A mesh adaptivity procedure for CFD and fluid-structure interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a procedure to adapt and repair meshes in the general solution of Navier–Stokes incompressible and compressible fluid flows, including structural interactions. For fluid-structure interactions, FSI, the fluid is described by an arbitrary-Lagrangian–Eulerian formulation fully coupled to general solids and structures described by Lagrangian formulations. The solids and structures can undergo highly nonlinear response due to large deformations, nonlinear material behavior, contact and temperature. We focus on the need to adapt the fluid mesh in pure CFD solutions when high gradients are present or boundary layer effects are important, and FSI solutions when large structural deformations take place. The procedure is a practical scheme to solve complex problems. We illustrate the proposed scheme in various example solutions. 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

For coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational solid dynamics (CSD) simulation of the three-dimensional fluid-membrane interaction, a numerical scheme is developed by improving the material point method (MPM). In order to compute the stress state at any membrane point, a plane stress assumption is made in the local tangent plane consisting of membrane points, and a simple proc...
متن کاملAdaptive CFD schemes for aerospace propulsion
The flow fields which can be observed inside several components of aerospace propulsion systems are characterised by the presence of very localised phenomena (boundary layers, shock waves,...) which can deeply influence the performances of the system. In order to accurately evaluate these effects by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, it is necessary to locally refine the c...
متن کاملTransient Mesh Adaptivity with Large Rigid-Body Displacements
This paper presents a procedure for computing fluid-structure interaction problems when the boundaries of the domain undergo large displacements. The algorithm is based on both mesh motion and mesh adaptation techniques. More specifically, we use a node repositioning algorithm based on an elastic analogy together with a mesh adaptation procedure based on local mesh modifications [1]. This paper...
