A spatially adaptive high-order meshless method for fluid–structure interactions

Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering

Hu, Wei; Trask, Nathaniel A.; Hu, Xiaozhe; Pan, Wenxiao

We present a scheme implementing an a posteriori refinement strategy in the context of a high-order meshless method for problems involving point singularities and fluid–solid interfaces. The generalized moving least squares (GMLS) discretization used in this work has been previously demonstrated to provide high-order compatible discretization of the Stokes and Darcy problems, offering a high-fidelity simulation tool for problems with moving boundaries. The meshless nature of the discretization is particularly attractive for adaptive h-refinement, especially when resolving the near-field aspects of variables and point singularities governing lubrication effects in fluid–structure interactions. We demonstrate that the resulting spatially adaptive GMLS method is able to achieve optimal convergence in the presence of singularities for both the div-grad and Stokes problems. Further, we present a series of simulations for flows of colloid suspensions, in which the refinement strategy efficiently achieved highly accurate solutions, particularly for colloids with complex geometries.

Compatible Particle Discretizations. Final LDRD Report

Bochev, Pavel B.; Bosler, Peter A.; Kuberry, Paul A.; Perego, Mauro P.; Peterson, Kara J.; Trask, Nathaniel A.

This report summarizes the work performed under a three year LDRD project aiming to develop mathematical and software foundations for compatible meshfree and particle discretizations. We review major technical accomplishments and project metrics such as publications, conference and colloquia presentations and organization of special sessions and minisimposia. The report concludes with a brief summary of ongoing projects and collaborations that utilize the products of this work.
