Comparison of the conservative and a consistent approach for the coupling of non-matching meshes

In fluid-structure interaction simulations the meshes at the fluid-structure interface usually do not match, because of the different mesh requirements for the flow and structure. The exchange of data over the discrete interface becomes then far from trivial. In this paper we investigate the difference in accuracy and efficiency between a...

Mesh Association by Projection along Smoothed-Normal-Vector Fields: Association of Closed Manifolds

The necessity to associate two geometrically distinct meshes arises in many engineering applications. Current mesh-association algorithms are generally unsuitable for the high-order geometry representations associated with high-order finite-element discretizations. In the present work we therefore propose a mesh-association method for high-order...
