| Descripción: | Mesh motion strategy is one of the key points in many fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. Due to the increasing application of FSI to solve the current challenging engineering problems this topic has deserved a highlight interest. There are several different strategies to solve this problem, some of them using a discrete and lumped spring-mass system to propagate the boundary motion into the volume mesh and many others using an elastostatic problem to deform the mesh. In all these strategies there is always a risk of producing an invalid mesh, a mesh with some elements inverted. Normally this condition is irreversible and once an invalid mesh is obtained it is difficult to continue. In this paper the mesh motion strategy is defined as an optimization problem. By its definition this strategy may be classified as a particular case of an elastostatic problem where the material constitutive law is defined in terms of the minimization of certain energy functional that takes into account the degree of element distortion. Some advantages of this strategy is its natural tendency to high quality meshes, its robustness and its straightforward extension to 3D problems. Several examples included in this paper show these capabilities. Even though this strategy seems to be very robust it is not able to recover a valid mesh starting from an invalid one. This improvement is left for future work.[International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering (accepted)] |
