• Boundary conditions on the hydrogel surface are naturally embedded in weak form. With proper test functions, form recovers dissipative energy law. The displacement extension algorithm captures interfacial accurately. ALE method tracks moving interface as well deforming solid skeleton. numerical results show excellent agreement with available analytical solutions. Hydrogels crosslinked polymer...

A new geometrically conservative arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation is presented for the moving boundary problems in the swirl-free cylindrical coordinates. The governing equations are multiplied with the radial distance and integrated over arbitrary moving Lagrangian-Eulerian quadrilateral elements. Therefore, the continuity and the geometric conservation equations take very simpl...

In this paper we consider the solution of hyperbolic conservation laws on moving meshes by means of an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation. In particular we propose an ALE framework for the genuinely explicit residual distribution schemes of (Ricchiuto and Abgrall J.Comput.Phys 229, 2010). The discretizations obtained are thoroughly tested on a large number of benchmarks Key-words: ...

In this work, we develop numerical schemes for mechano-chemical fluid-structure interactions with long-term effects. We investigate a model of a growing solid interacting with an incompressible fluid. A typical example for such a situation is the formation and growth of plaque in blood vessels. This application includes two particular difficulties: First, growth may lead to very large deformati...

A framework for embedding a Lagrangian model within ocean climate models that employ horizontal Eulerian grids is presented. The embedded Lagrangian model can be used to explicitly represent processes that are at the subgrid scale to the Eulerian model. The framework is applied to open ocean deep convection and gravity driven downslope flows, both of which are subgridscale in the present genera...

This paper investigates the effects of mesh motion on the stability of fluid-flow equations when written in an Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian frame for solving moving boundary flow problems. Employing the advection-diffusion equation as a model problem we present a mathematical proof of the destabilizing effects induced by an arbitrary mesh motion on the stability and convergence of an otherwise...

In this article, we prove the local well-posedness, for arbitrary initial data with certain regularity assumptions, of the equations of a Viscoelastic Fluid of Johnson-Segalman type with a free surface. More general constitutive laws can be easily managed in the same way. The geometry is defined by a solid fixed bottom and an upper free boundary submitted to surface tension. The proof relies on...
