Solution of moving-boundary problems by the spectral element method
This paper describes a novel numerical model aiming at solving moving-boundary problems such as free-surface flows or fluid– structure interaction. This model uses a moving-grid technique to solve the Navier–Stokes equations expressed in the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian kinematics. The discretization in space is based on the spectral element method. The coupling of the fluid equations and the moving-grid equations is essentially done through the conditions on the moving boundaries. Two- and threedimensional simulations are presented: translation and rotation of a cylinder in a fluid, and large-amplitude sloshing in a rectangular tank. The accuracy and robustness of the present numerical model is studied and discussed. © 2007 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
