Modeling of selected 3D electroheat coupled problems with time-varying geometries

Novel approach to modeling of 3D coupled electroheat problems with time-varying geometries is presented. Instead of time-expensive remeshing of the whole system in every time step it is used the initial mesh that takes into account the expected geometric changes. In the course of computations, its relevant elements are able to adaptively change their shapes and material parameters. The methodology is illustrated with an example of combined cladding.
